    It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.
    　　I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.
    Moments later, however, he was once again walking toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I went out of the house and followed him on his journey.
    　　He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches and thorns (荆棘) slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.
    　　Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water, lift its head with great effort to drink the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.
    　　I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart working so hard to save a life. As my tears began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.
    小题1:Why did the author follow her son?
    A．Because there might be danger.
    B．Because her son was doing a good deed.
    C．Because she was curious.
    D．Because she intended to help.
    小题2:Which of the following statements is Not True according to the passage?
    A．Rain was in great need.
    B．There were few trees in the woods.
    C．Billy carried water with his small hands.
    D．Billy walked into the woods and then returned over and over again.
    小题3:What Billy did mainly showed that he was ________.
    A．caringB．beautifulC．childlikeD．brave
    小题4:Which is the correct order of the development of the story?
    ① The author was moved to tears.
    ② Billy fed the water to the baby deer.
    ③ Billy walked towards the large deer.
    ④ It began to rain.
    ⑤ The author followed Billy into the woods.
    A．③②⑤①④B．④①③②⑤C．⑤③②①④D．⑤②①③④

    小题1:C
    小题2:B
    小题3:A
    小题4:C

    试题分析：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的儿子在干旱的时候去挽救小鹿生命的故事。
    小题1:C细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.
    可知，好奇心促使作者要跟踪儿子。故选C。
    小题2:B推理判断题。根据Minutes after he disappeared into the woods可知如果只剩几个棵树的话，作者很容易就能看到儿子。
    小题3:A细节理解题。儿子在天旱的时候去挽救小鹿的生命，可见儿子有爱心。
    小题4:C考查排序题。根据全文的内容可知，作者先跟踪儿子，然后，Billy走近成年鹿，喂小鹿水，作者受到感动，下雨。故选C。

    One day, President Lincoln went to a party. At the gathering, a man called Douglas was repeatedly talking about Lincoln’s low position in life and saying that he first met Lincoln when he was a shop assistant at a village shop. Finally he said, “And Mr. Lincoln was a very good waiter too.”

But I remember that in those days Mr. Douglas was one of my best customers.

    On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles, who was going to deliver a speech on his new book.
    During his talk, Jack   41  his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ‘‘Who wants this?”   42  shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would   43 . But I jumped up, ran up the   44  to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air,   45 raced through my mind — was I about to be humiliated(羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they   46  security guards and take me from the stage?    47  my desire for bold （大胆的）action was louder than any   48 voice. As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the   49  to come to us. We must take    50   to create what we want!’’
    After his talk, I   51  to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over the next months, I sent him emails   52  my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got busy   53 other things. I stopped e-mailing Jack.
    A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant arrow that would show me the way.
    I e-mailed him, and then again — but got no   54 . As I sat down at my computer to 55  my e-mails, I  56  woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely   57  that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat glued to their chairs.
    Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. We   58  believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n)   59  way. So we don’t try. We  60 . But as Wayne Gretzky said，“You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!” So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.
    Now what are you waiting for?

    Until a few months ago, he was a butler(管家) in one of the more expensive residential buildings in Manhattan. But now, Nepal-born Indra Tamang is the owner of two multi-million dollar apartments in the same building.
    The former owner - his former employer, Ruth Ford - died last year and left the apartments  to Mr Tamang in her will.
    Mr Tamang is happy but quickly points out that his good fortune did not come easily. "I am happy and have been touched by the generosity of the Ford family," he says. "I never expected that I will be given the ownership of these apartments. But I have been working for the family for the last 36 years, devotedly, with honesty and dedication(奉献). So my hard work has been rewarded."
    Mr Tamang was 21 when he was brought from Nepal by Charles Ford, a writer and a photographer. Mr Ford died in 2002; his sister, actress Ruth Ford, then took charge and told Mr Tamang that he was like a brother to her after Charles's death.
    Mrs Ford died aged 98. During the last five years of her life, she lost her eyesight and also developed speech problems. Mr Tamang looked after her most of the time and took care of her medicines and food.
    He also worked with Charles Ford on various photography projects, which he now wants to keep as the photographer's legacy(遗产). He hopes to organize exhibitions of Mr Ford's photographs and edit a book of his works.
    Mr Tamang plans to sell the bigger, three-bedroom apartment to pay the taxes he owes to the government on his legacy. He says: "The rules of the building might be a problem, as they require a minimum monthly income to qualify to live as owner of apartments. I have my small house here but I am happy with it,"
    Mr Tamang has learnt his lesson from the life of his employers and plans to use his money with great caution. "I think one should save money for old age. That's when you need it the most to get care," he says. 
    小题1:Mr Tamang treated the legacy as __________.
    A．a rewardB．a punishmentC．businessD．a gift
    小题2:What DIDN’T Mr Tamang do in the Ford family?
    A．Show Mr Ford's works in the exhibition.
    B．Look after Ruth Ford when she was ill.
    C．Work on kinds of photography projects
    D．Experience deaths of Charles Ford and Ruth Ford
    小题3:Mr Tamang wants to sell one apartment to _______. 
    A．buy the small house
    B．pay the government the tax of the apartments
    C．edit a book of Charles Ford's photographs
    D．move into the expensive apartments as soon as possible
    小题4:What lesson does Mr Tamang learn from the Ford family? 
    A．To find a good butler.
    B．To spend money thoughtfully.
    C．To save money for children.
    D．To get good care when people get old.
    小题5:What can we know from the passage?
    A．Charles Ford gave the apartments to Mr Tamang.
    B．Charles Ford couldn't see or speak before his death.
    C．Mr Tamang treated Ruth Ford much better than her brother.
    D．Mr Tamang will still live in his small house in the near future.

    Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
    Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
    Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
    Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
    小题1:What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
    A．Controversial.B．Ridiculous.
    C．Boring.D．Puzzling.
    小题2:Why was the author confused about the task?
    A．He was unfamiliar with American history.
    B．He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
    C．He forgot his teacher’s instruction.
    D．He didn’t know why the teacher gave such a task.
    小题3:The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means _______.
    A．annoyedB．ashamed
    C．readyD．eager
    小题4:In the end, the author turned things around _______.
    A．by redoing his task
    B．through his own efforts
    C．with the help of his grandfather
    D．under the guidance of his headmaster
