    It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas; and as the newest doctor in our office, I had to work. The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating — a dozen long-stemmed red roses.
    As I was cleaning my office,  I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me. As I stepped out, I noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. Nervously, she explained that her husband — a prisoner in a nearby prison — was my next patient. She told me she wasn’t allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. Her request was for me to let the boy’s father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment. Since my schedule wasn’t full, I agreed. After all, it was Christmas Eve.
    A short time later, her husband arrived — with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards. The woman’s tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. I kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. After almost an hour, I called the prisoner back to my office. The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. I tried to make him as comfortable as possible.
    At the end of the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison. He smiled and thanked me. He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn’t been able to get his wife anything for Christmas. On hearing this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea.
    I’ll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses. I’m not sure who experienced the most joy — the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment.
    小题1:What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
    A．The writer was a newcomer to her office.

    A．having her baby examined
    B．giving her husband a chance to make his escape
    C．having her husband examined
    D．getting a chance for her family to get together
    小题3:The underlined part in paragraph 3 most probably means “        ”
    A．to be sent to hospitalB．to be separated from his family
    C．to be comfortableD．to become a prisoner
    小题4:What does the writer learn from the story?
    A．The wife experienced the most joy in receiving
    B．An act of kindness can mean a lot
    C．The prisoner was treated with mercy
    D．Whoever breaks the law should be punished

    小题3:猜词题：作者看到这个男的是很绅士的很谦虚的，想知道是什么让他成为囚犯的，选D
    小题4:推理题：从文章的最后一句话I’m not sure who experienced the most joy — the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment.可知这次的善举让囚犯和他妻子，也让作者能分享这个特殊的时候，所以作者认为是很有意义的，选B

    There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells groceries, meat and other basic necessities. About 10 years ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a    36  . The owner,   37   he would love to help, simply didn’t have any jobs available, so he kept   38   the man’s request.
    This situation continued    39   for a few months, until the owner    40    to give the homeless man a job which    41  sweeping outside the shop. Every single day from 5 am, the homeless man was there doing the very    42  he could for the    43  , even though it did earn him some pennies.    44   , the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working    45  a cashier. He was watched closely to make sure that he didn’t    46  any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless, after all. The homeless man did a/an    47  job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was promoted to    48   the finances for the whole shop.
    To my    49  , this was the arrangement up until 2 years ago, when the owner     50   . In his will, he only had one    51   , to give the whole shop to the now stable, “homeless” man. Now, I could walk into that shop and see him working as hard as   52  , with his own business that is still   53   and active 10 years after getting his job as a sweeper.
    From this story, we can probably get the inspiration: work hard and give everything your best effort, even if it isn’t your    54   situation, it very well may turn out to    55  some day in the future.

    Like lots of small-business owners, Lola Gonzalez had to decide to cut down her company’s nine-person staff (员工) when the economic recovery began to fail last spring. Unlike other companies, she picked an unlikely employee to lay off (解雇): herself.
    Her business began to have problems in 2008 after going through her books (账簿)
    One day, her husband, Marcos, told her she had to reduce her payroll（薪金总额）by one person. Gonzalez said at a meeting, “I want you all to know that I have to lay somebody off and it’s been a very difficult decision. And that person is me.” Employees first froze in amazement and then burst into laughter until they realized she was serious. Gonzalez ’s employees said they were grateful for her kindness.
    Her reason was simple. Although she ran the business and her employees did the legwork (跑腿), she thought she could find work more easily than her staff. Sure enough, she soon got a job as a social worker for a non-profit organization called Devereux Kids. She enjoys her social-worker job now, but the salary (薪水) cut has required some lifestyle changes. She and Marcos no longer eat out daily; they no longer pay for their son’s car and mobile phone, and they changed their car to a smaller one to save $300 a month.
    Her business has picked up a bit recently and Marcos has begun to work part-time at Gonzalez’s company. Gonzalez says she has no plan to return to work at her company until the economic situation becomes better, perhaps in a year. Her employees, however, will get Christmas bonuses (奖金) this year.
    小题1:How many workers are there in Gonzalez’s company at present?
    A．8. B．9. C．10. D．11.
    小题2:How did her employees feel at first when they heard Gonzalez’s decision?
    A．Happy.B．Grateful.C．Surprised.D．Unbelievable.
    小题3:After leaving her company, _____________.
    A．Gonzalez sold her car and went to work by bus
    B．Gonzalez always had meals in a restaurant
    C．Gonzalez’s son helped her a lot
    D．Gonzalez changed her lifestyle a lot
    小题4:From the text, we can learn that ___________.
    A．Gonzalez will not return to her company in future
    B．Gonzalez’s business has improved a little lately
    C．Gonzalez got her social-worker job with great difficulty
    D．Marcos lost his job and had to work at Gonzalez’s company

    It was my first year teaching in a special needs class, and I wasn’t sure what to expect at our yearly Special Olympics sports meeting. My   36  had some challenges, from learning disabilities to cerebral palsy（大脑性麻痹）.
