At the party, all the children were given paints in bright, beautiful colors. After a short time, as I  32 , I saw blue clouds, orange sunrises and purple flowers. The 33 were all bright.
The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was  34  and lifeless. It lacked (缺乏) the bright colors that his fellow (同伴) “_35_” had used.
I thought maybe he took the only paint that was  36  and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his  37  was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was very  38 . He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is  39  anyone can do that will help.”
I certainly  40  why he was sad. I said, “It isn’t  41  that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be  42  to make you recover better…but we can do things  43  giving bear hugs (拥抱), which will  44  when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that I’d be happy to give him one  45  he could see what I meant. He immediately gave me a huge hug and I thought my own heart would burst with the  46  I felt for this sweet boy.
As the day was coming to an end, I was getting ready to  47  home. I turned around and found that standing there with  48  on his face was the little boy. He said, “My heart is  49  colors. It is getting brighter. Those  50  really do work.” On my way home I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color, too.

“Can I see my baby?” the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.
Time proved that the baby’ s hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was imperfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she sighed(叹息), knowing that his life was to be misfortunate. He cried to his mum “A boy, a big boy... called me a freak (怪人).”
He grew up, handsome. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might communicate with other young people,” his mother blamed him, but felt a kindness in her heart.
Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You’ re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’ s a secret.” The operation was a great success, and a new person appeared.
Later he married and became a lawyer. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.” “I do not believe you could,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.”
The years kept their secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother’ s casket棺材. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to show the mother had no outer ears.
“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut,” his father whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they?”
小题1:Why did Mother gasp when she saw her newborn baby?
A.Because her son had a tiny face.B.Because she saw her son crying.
C.Because her son was born imperfect.D.Because her son was in her arms.
小题2:Which word can describe Mother’ s feeling when the son threw himself into her arms?
A.Nervous.      B.Sympathetic.C.Proud.D.Angry.
小题3:We can infer that the person who donate the ears is_____.
A.A doctor.B.His father.C.His mother.D.A stranger.
小题4:From the passage we know the followings are True except________
A, the mother felt sorry for the son without ears   B. the doctor didn’t like the baby
C. the boy meant everything to the mother        D. the father kept the secret until mother died
小题5:The best title for the passage would be ________.

We were a very motley (混杂的) crowd of people who took the bus every day many years ago. During the early morning ride from the suburb, we sat drowsily (昏昏欲睡地) with our collars up to our ears.
A small grey man took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him. Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver before he sat down. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were silent.
The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, smiled and said in a loud voice: "And a very good morning to you all!" Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured "Good morning!" in reply.
The following weeks we were more surprised. Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smilingly and asked: "Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?" The man nodded shyly and said yes. Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower.
The summer went by when one morning Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn't there the new day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or – hopefully – on holiday somewhere, Later we were told one of his very close friends had died at the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work. The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, a little bit more grey. Inside the bus was a silence similar to that in a church. Even though no one had talked about it, all those of us sat with our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.
小题1:From the first paragraph we can inter that the passengers ____.
A.had a cheerful trip every morningB.didn't know each other
C.seldom talked to each otherD.talked and laughed on the way
小题2: Why were some of the passengers amazed when the old man greeted them?
A.Because he looked energetic.B.Because he spoke in a loud voice.
C.Because he was holding some flowers. D.Because they hardly greeted each other.
小题3:How did the passengers feel when Charlie was not there the next day?
A.Concerned. B.Pleased.C.Surprised.D.Disappointed.
小题4: The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph most probably refers to ____.

It was the old lady’s eightieth birthday. She was sure Myra wouldn’t forget her mother’s birthday, even if she was busy. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Perhaps Myra might come. Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited like a child.
Mrs. Morrison had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake. Johnnie, the little boy next door, was now up with her with a packet of sweets.
“I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents, ” he said. “I did last week when I was six.”
What would she like? A pair of slippers, perhaps. A blue new cardigan(羊毛衫). Or a table lamp. Or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.
She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate.
“Granny, granny, ” Johnnie returned. “I’ve got your post!”
He gave her four envelopes. Three were from old friends. The fourth was in Myra’s writing.
“No parcel(包裹), Johnnie?”
“No, granny.”
Almost reluctantly, she tore the fourth envelope open. Folded in the card was a check. Written on the card was a message: Happy Birthday—Buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra and Harold.

When he took office, George W. Bush, son of former president George Herbert Walker Bush, became the first son to follow his father into the White House since John Quiney Adams followed John Adams in the early 19th century.
Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, the first child of George Herbert Walker Bush and Barbara Pierce Bush. Although George Herbert Walker Bush began his career in the oil industry, he finally served as a congressman(国会议员), and vice(副) president and president of the United States.
At the age of two,Bush moved with his parents from Connecticut to Odessa, Texas, where his father took up the oil business. After a year in Texas, the family moved to California for business reasons. A year later, the family returned to Texas and settled in Midland, where Bush lived from 1950 to 1959.
In 1959, again for business reasons, the family moved to Houston, Texas. In 1961 Bush left Texas and went to Andover, Massachusetts, to attend Phillips Academy, aboarding school(寄宿学校) that his father had also attended.
At Phillips, Bush played basketball, baseball, and football. He was best known for being head cheerleader. In 1964 he enrolled at Yale University in Connecticut.His father and grandfather had also attended Yale. At Yale, Bush was considered an average student, but he was popular with his classmates.
Bush graduated from Yale with a bachelor’s degree in history in 1968. Then he joined the Air National Guard and remained in the Guard until 1973. After earning his MBA from Harvard in 1975, Bush returned to Midland. Like his father, he first entered the oil industry as a “landsman(新手)”. However, Bush’s oil companies never enjoyed great success. He took more interest in politics. He helped his father to become president and in 1994 he himself was elected governor of Texas.
In the summer of 1999, Bush began to run for the president of the USA and on January 20, 2001, George W. Bush, hand raised, took the oath(宣誓) of office to become the 43rd president of the US.
小题1:What does the writer intend to tell us in the first paragraph?
A.George W. Bush is the first son in American history to follow his father into the White House.
B.George W. Bush is the first son of former president George Herbert Walker Bush.
C.John Quincy Adams and his father were both former American presidents.
D.George W. Bush is the second one in American history to follow his father into the White House.
小题2:We may learn from the text that young Bush ______.
A.got on very well at the universities
B.was very good at basketball, baseball and football
C.did everything as his father had done
D.was a very successful politician like his father
