Alexi s Vaughan,17,sat tiredly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car.The early Saturday morning run with her father,Michael,was part of the punishment.She stared sadly out of the window at the cornfields.
An experienced hunter,Alexis let her eyes lazily search for wildlife.She was shocked when a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them.Mule deer never appeared in plain sight ten days before hunting season.It was a buck—a male deer with sharp,three-pronged antlers(三齿鹿角).
Suddenly Alexis heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head.She realized the buck was attacking a woman.Sue Panter had been Out for her morning run.The deer had appeared from the tall corn and begun following her.Having lived in the countryside of Idaho for years,Sue knew that most deer got frightened by humans.But this deer moved closer,even when she threw a handful of small stones at it.
“I knew I was in trouble,”she says.
The buck rushed forward,lifted her up with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel the antlers made small holes in her leg and blood ran down her leg.
When the Vaughans pulled up,the buck was throwing Sue like a rag doll. Before her father had stopped the car,Alexis rushed out of the car and down the slope(斜坡)toward the buck.“1 was kicking and hitting it hard with my fists to get its attention so that It will leave the woman,”she says.However,the animal was not frightened at all.Then Michael pushed the buck away from the woman by the antlers.
Alexis helped Sue up the slope and into the Vaughans’car.Then she tied a tourniquet(止血带)to Sue's right leg.Her neck was cut.Then she heard her father shout loudly. Michael had been knocked to the ground,his right leg seriously cut by the buck. Alexis took a hammer from the car and ran to where Michael lay on his back in the dirt.She beat the buck’s head and neck,but the blows didn’t frighten it away.“I was losing faith,”she says.
“A couple more strikes,Alexis,”said Michael.“You can do it.”Alexis closed her eyes and hit with all her strength at the deer’s neck with the hammer. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.
A1exis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the hospital in Franklin,hearing her dad’s breathing grow difficuIt and unsmooth as the blood from his wounded leg had flowed through the T—shirt he'd wrapped around it.In the backseat,Sue looked unconscious.

On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me.
The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peters’ backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.
I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother’s permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own nightdress, so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's nightdress.
As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I’ll stay up to go one more time...”. Of course, I finally fell asleep.
The next morning, I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do—I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's nightdress and changed into my clothes like the other girls.
Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet nightdress. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so scary. Should I answer? And that was when it happened—Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife, “Elvis Presley died!”
The news of the King’s death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I was narrowly excused. Then, we left Peters’ together but without the other girls knowing what had happened.
小题1:The author had to spend the night at Peters’ because ________.
A.they had fun together and played too late
B.she was offered the nightdress
C.the famous singer Elvis Presley died that night
D.she and her friends were having a sleepover party
小题2:Mrs. Peters got angry because ________.
A.she found the nightdress wet
B.Elvis Presley died that morning
C.her husband grabbed her
D.not all the girls behaved themselves
小题3:From the story, we know Mrs. Peters was ________.
A.a crazy and strict woman
B.a devoted fan of Elvis Presley
C.a woman for perfection
D.a woman with a strong fear of getting dirty
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How I escaped Mrs. Peters’ punishment.
B.How Elvis Presley saved my life.
C.An embarrassing escape in my life.
D.An unforgettable party in my memory.

In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. He got into a life boat, but his supplies were    . His chances of surviving were small.      when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much      than he was when he started, but alive.
His      of how he survived is fascinating. His cleverness —how he      to catch fish, how he evaporated (蒸发) sea water to       fresh water—is very interesting.
But the thing that        my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no       in continuing the struggle. He was starved and      worn-out. Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.
When people      these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in       desperate circumstances      in or go mad. Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on      difficulties.
“I tell myself I can      it,” wrote Callahan in his book. “Compared to what others have been through, I’m fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over,      up courage…”
I wrote that down after I read it. It      me as something important. And I’ve told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed      off or when my problems seemed too terrible. And every time I’ve said it, I have always come back to my      .
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad      to something better. But others have been through the much worse, that is, in comparison with what others have been through, you’re fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you       through the rough situations with a little more courage.

She got into speed  painting and body painting, posting videos of her works on You Tube, but it wasn't until she began experimenting with different kinds of foods that her art got serious coverage. Photos and videos of her eatable celebrity portraits, like Bruce Lee in milk  Ice Cube in crushed ice or Amy Winehouse in wine, became popular on the French inter-webs and changed Vivi Mac into an online celebrity.

“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right” says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh,Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie’s opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story,which is what every writer should be doing. “If you aren’t telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed.” She says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain,Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,” she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and,because my family always had dogs,and I was very good at handling them,I said I wanted to work with dogs,and the teacher always said  ‘Nonsense,Mollie;dear,you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something,since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”
This childhood intention is described in her novel,A Sound of Chariots,which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably (不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses. “I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I’ll never go back,”she said “Never. When I set one of my books in Scotland” she said “I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields,or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that’s important because children now know so much so early that romance can’t exist for them, as it did for us.”
小题1:What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?
A.It should not aim at a narrow audience.
B.It should be attractive to young readers.
C.It should be based on original ideas.
D.It should not include too much conversation.
小题2:In Mollie Hunter’s opinion,which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?
A.Being poor in life experience.
B.Being short of writing skills.
C.The weakness of description.
D.The absence of a story.
小题3:What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?
A.She didn’t expect to become a writer.
B.She didn’t enjoy writing stories.
C.She didn’t have any particular ambitions.
D.She didn’t respect her teacher’s views.
小题4:What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?
A.To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s books.
B.To introduce Mollie Hunter’s work to a wider audience.
C.To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers.
D.To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books.

My little angel, you are teaching me how selfless real love is!
My wife called, “How long will you be with that      ? Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?” I threw the paper away and       to the place. My daughter, Sindu, sat there, tears welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a big bowl of rice.
  I       the bowl and persuaded: “Sindu, why not take a few mouthfuls of this rice?”
  “Ok, Dad. I will eat — not just a few mouthfuls,       the whole lot of this. But…” Sindu hesitated. “Dad, if I eat this entire rice, will you give me       I ask for?”
  “Promise.” I      .
  After eating the rice painfully, Sindu came to me, her eyes wide with      . Now I became a bit      . “Dear, you shouldn't insist on       a computer or any such       things. Dad does not have that kind of money right now.”      , “I want to have my head shaved off(剃掉), this Sunday!” was her demand(要求), which was far       my belief.
On Monday morning, I       Sindu at her school and watched her walking towards her classroom. She turned around and      . I waved back with a smile. Just then, a boy, who just got out of a car, shouted, “Sindu, please wait for me!” What       me was the hairless head of that boy.
“Sir, your daughter is       indeed!” Without introducing herself, a lady standing beside me continued, “That boy is my son, who lost all his       because of a disease. He       to come back to school fearing the unintentional(无意的)but        teasing(取笑)of the schoolmates. Sindu visited him last week, and promised him that she would take care of the teasing issue. But, I       imagined she would sacrifice her lovely hair for my son!”

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other    , including her “sixth sense”,   she rarely gives the impression she’s missed anything.
Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us, except that she doesn’t push too hard on them, who really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, she moves around so fast that often the    don't realize she's blind.
I realize this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was   excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?”said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to      colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle      with us.”
To my great      my child had learnt about color from a blind friend!
Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my      showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really     what I was doing!’’ Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt     Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never come up in conversation.
When I told her, she was      for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla     . And I knew my child was      because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla's pride in her work.
We were silent for a minute.Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my      .’’ Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

There was great excitement on the planet of Venus (金星) . Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.
The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan, named after the great Venusian astronomer Professor. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20000 light years ago.
Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility (可行性) of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.
"We have come to the conclusion, based on last week's satellite landing," Prof. Zog said, "that there is no life on Earth."
"How do you know this?" the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.
"For one thing, Earth's surface in the area of Manhattan is made up of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive."
"What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?"
"We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than originally planned."
"Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies?"
"Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud hovering (盘旋) over the surface of Earth? We don't know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have further tests before we send a Venus Being there."
"Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicates it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink. This means we shall have to carry our own water, which will add even greater weight to the saucer."
"If all you say is true, won't this set back the flying saucer program several years?"
"Yes, but we shall continue as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds(资金)." Profession. Zog replied.
小题1:According to the passage, the Venusian scientists succeeded in getting important information about _____.
A.the feasibility of landing a satellite on Earth
B.the possibility of making a first-rate flying saucer
C.the feasibility of sending a Venus Being to Earth
D.the possibility of directing a flying saucer into Manhattan
小题2:Why will the Venusian have to take their own oxygen with them when they carry out their flying saucer program because _____. 
A.they need it in their way to the planet of Earth
B.the Earth's atmosphere is filled with deadly gases
C.there is a low level of oxygen for Venusians
D.there is no air on the planet of Earth
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that ______. 
A.landing a manned flying saucer on Earth will be carried out soon
B.Venusians will land on Earth to help to stop serious pollution
C.it’s unnecessary to land a manned flying saucer on Earth at present
D.pollution on Earth makes it impossible for Venusians to survive there

I learned how our attitudes made a big difference in our everyday lives from my friend Mary.
She doesn’t have any pets. I happened to see her outside on a -30 degree morning walking a dog. I felt sorry for Mary, out there walking a dog that’s not hers in such cold weather. I thought maybe she was saying to herself, “Yeah, this is why I don’t have any pets! I hate walking dogs.”
Later that day I saw Mary and said, “I saw you out there walking a dog this morning. Are you unhappy because you had to walk it on such a cold day?” To my surprise, she said that she enjoyed getting out there and walking the dog and that she got good exercise because of the dog. She also said she had talked to her brother, the dog’s owner, who was on holiday in Orlando, Florida with his family. He said his children were enjoying Disney World and the resorts (胜地). His four-year-old son had breakfast with Mickey Mouse and said it was the best day in his life.
