    My best friend is Cocoa, and I live in a senior-citizen apartment. Cocoa is a ten-year-old dog and I am a sixty-nine-year-old lady, so you can see we both qualify as   1  citizens.
    He is a   2  companion. He does many amusing things that make me   3 , and when that happens, he is so delighted   4  he just keeps it up.
    But one afternoon, Cocoa started acting strangely. I was sitting on the floor playing with him,   5  he started pawing and smelling at the right side of my   6 . He had never done anything like this ever before, and I told him, “No.” To Cocoa, one “no” is usually   7 , but not that day. He stopped briefly, and then   8  ran toward me, throwing his entire weight at the right side of my chest. He crashed into me and I cried in   9 , falling down to the floor. Soon after this, I felt a lump (肿块). I went to my doctors, and after X-rays  10  and lab work were done, they told me I had cancer.
    When cancer starts, a  11  of calcium (钙) builds. Then the lump or cancer attaches itself to this wall. When Cocoa jumped on me, the force of the impact broke the lump away from the wall. This made it possible for me to  12  the lump.
    I had a complete mastectomy (乳房切除术) and the cancer has not   13  to any other part of my body. The doctors told me if the cancer had gone undetected even six more months, it would have been too   14 .
    Was Cocoa  15  of just what he was doing? I’ll never really know. What I do know is that Cocoa not only shares his life with me, he has also made sure that I will be around to share my life with him!

    From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interest. There are many different ways to spend our spare time.
    Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. It may be anything from collecting stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to their owners.
    I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty-cent piece worth $250！He was very happy about his purchase (buying) and thought the price was reasonable. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.
    That’s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.
    小题1:The word “individual” in the first paragraph most probably means        .
    A．differentB．strangeC．secretD．one’s own
    小题2:According to the passage, most people are          from Monday until Friday.
    A．free to relax and enjoy themselvesB．busy working or studying
    C．free to take part in sports gamesD．busy watching TV and going to the cinema

    On November18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the world famous violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Lincoln Centre in New York City. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is not easy for him. He got polio（小儿麻痹症）as a child, and has to walk with the aid of two crutches（拐杖）now.
    That night Perlman walked slowly to his chair. Then he sat down and began to play. But, suddenly, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it break---it broke with a loud noise.
    People thought to themselves, “He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”
    But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra（管弦乐队）began, and he played from where he had stopped. He played with such passion and such power.
    Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him changing and recomposing（重新作曲）the piece in his head.
    When he finished, there was a silence in the room. Then people rose and cheered. We were all on our feet, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done.
    He smiled and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left.”
    His words have stayed in my mind ever since I heard them. That is also the way of life. Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.
    小题1:Holding a concert is challenging for Perlman because ______.
    A．he is just a world famous violinist
    B．he has never performed on stage before
    C．he is physically disabled as a result of a disease
    D．he has difficulty in moving his body
    小题2:When Perlman had just begun playing, ______.
    A．there was something wrong with the violin
    B．he fell ill suddenly
    C．an accident happened and caused a disturbance
    D．a very loud noise arose from the audience
    小题3: If one of the strings suddenly broke, what would an ordinary player do?
    A．He would cancel the concert.B．He would play another violin.
    C．Another performer would play instead.D．The concert would be put off.
    小题4:The audience rose and cheered ______.
    A．to show they are satisfied with Perlman’s performance
    B．to thank the orchestra for their passionate performance
    C．to ask Perlman for another performance
    D．to express their appreciation of Perlman’s creative mind
    小题5: The lesson we draw from the story is that ______.
    A．we should make the best of what we have
    B．what we have is more important than what is lost
    C．we should not care about what is lost
    D．the way of life is to always live with music

    It was 3:12 a. m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the crackling（爆裂声）of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island. With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn.
    The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room. He found it impossible to waked her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and , as a fireman said later, “acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.”
    On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
    First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
    He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?
    Grasping firmly a ball of string（线绳） from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother’s room. Tying one end of the string to her hand， he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.
    Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan: “The string will lead you to mother.” Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
    小题1:Why did Glenn run downstairs first?
    A．He wanted to find out what was happening.
    B．He was worried about his mother’s safety.
    C．He wanted to save his sister and brother.
    D．He went to see if his father had come back from work.
    小题2:How did Glenn help the firemen to save his mother?
    A．By throwing water all over her and her bed.
    B．By carrying her to safety with his brother.
    C．By pushing and pulling at her.
    D．By tying a string to her hand.
    小题3:What did Glenn do to protect himself?
    A．He put a wet cloth around his head.
    B．He threw water all over himself.
    C．He hid himself in the bathroom.
    D．He rushed out to the lawn.
    小题4:Glenn saved his family because___________.
    A．his father had taught him to do so on the phone
    B．he had learned something about first aid
    C．he had dealt with the emergency calmly and wisely
    D．he had followed his mother’s instruction

    If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
    If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means —practice.
    Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who can’t read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.
    So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practice remembering.
    小题1: According to the passage, few people know that _____.
    A．arms or legs become weak if they are not used for some time
    B．when they start using their arms or legs again, they slowly become strong again
    C．a person’s memory becomes weak if he does not practice remembering things
    D．it is their own fault if their arms or legs are weak
    小题2:The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, ____.
    A．it is his own faultB．his parents are to blame
    C．he is just unluckyD．his arms must be weak
    小题3: According to the passage, we learn that all of us can ____.
    A．become very strongB．become very clever
    C．improve our memory by practicingD．know how to improve our memory

    “Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton（骨骼）in the closet（衣橱）?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”
    “Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
    After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank in a faint（晕倒）, waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
    “What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.
    小题1:
    According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ______.
    A． a family honorB． a family secret
    C． a family storyD． a family treasure
    小题2:
    What can we learn about some Australians’ ancestors from Paragraph 2?
    A． They were brought to Australia as prisoners.
    B． They were the earliest people living in Australia.
    C． They were involved in some crimes in Australia.
    D． They were not regarded as criminals in their days.
    小题3:
    Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?
    A． She was curious about it.B． She planned to keep it for fun.
    C． She needed it for her school task.D． She intended to scare her parents.
    小题4:
    .   Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ______.
    A． they were crazy
    B． they were over excited
    C． they realized their misunderstanding
    D． they both thought they had won the quarrel
