    About a year ago，if you had asked who Dinara Safina was，the answer would have been，“She is Marat Safin’s younger sister.” She was overshadowed by her wonder brother.But now she has made a name for herself：the world No.1 player in women’s tennis.
    The 22­year­old Russian overtook Serena Williams of the US for top ranking on April 20.“Before，every place I go，I am Marat’s sister.Nothing else，”she told New York Times.“I always wanted to be myself，and now finally the results come，and people can know me as Dinara Safina.”
    Safina has made it to two great event finals，in the 2008 French and in the 2009 Australian Open，and won a silver medal in the Beijing Olympic Games.
    Clearly，family isn’t the only connection Safina and her brother share.Their DNA burns with competitive fire.Safin has held the distinction for years of being a hottempered player on court.When he lost his temper，he would smash a racket (球拍)．Safina is as emotionally explosive as her brother.A headline in the newspaper The Australian once described her as “mad as a snake”．The Sydney Morning Herald，during the Australian Open，summed up Safina’s volatile (不稳定的) emotional state with the headline—Safina goes from basket case to top of the world.
    It’s not rare for a family to have two top tennis players.Safina’s father owns a tennis academy and her mother worked as a coach.“I had no choice but to become a tennis player，but I don’t mind being a tennis player，” Safina said.
    From this talented family she is also given one of her best weapons on court，her size.She is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 70kg.But it is hard work that led her to her recent success.
    “I hope to prove to everyone over the coming months that I deserve the honor of being world No.1，”she said.

    B．How the parents taught Safina to play tennis.
    C．How her brother helped Safina play tennis.
    D．How Safina beat her brother in playing tennis.
    小题2:Which one of the following doesn’t contribute to Safina’s success?
    A．Her hard work and strong competitiveness.
    B．Her emotional explosion and volatile emotional state.
    C．The fact that she is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 70kg.
    D．The fact that her parents are both good tennis players.
    小题3:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Serena Williams was topped by Safina on ranking list on April 20.
    B．Dinara Safina was always very confident and eager to succeed.
    C．Safina was eager to become a tennis player when she was a child.
    D．Marat Safin won the two finals，in the 2008 French and in the 2009 Australian Open.
    小题4:What can we infer from the headline “Safina goes from basket case to top of the world”？
    A．Safina wanted to top the world in tennis when she was a baby in a basket.
    B．After she won the Australian Open，Dinara Safina cried.
    C．Too nervous at first，Safina finally gained confidence and won.
    D．Safina learnt from the basket case and finally came top of the world.

    　　My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other      , including her“sixth sense”, that she rarely gives the impression that she's       anything.
    　　Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us,     that she doesn't push too hard on them,        really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that        often don't realize she's blind.
    　　I    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 learned 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 known 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       in conversation. When I told my daughter that Michelle was blind, 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 art work. Michelle had also heard Kayla's      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.

    I was speechless，sure I was seeing things．She said，“For once you thought of someone other than yourself，my job here is done．”
    Immediately I stood to my feet and said，“Wait，so why did no one stop to help an angel!?” She looked at me and smiled，“You’re the only one who could see me，and you believe it in your heart．”…and she was gone．

    The composing career (作曲生涯) of Albert Roussel got off to a changeable start, and received one of its biggest successes from a lie.
    Roussel became an orphan (孤儿) at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing operatic selections and popular songs on the piano. Three years later Roussel’s grandfather died, and his mother's sister took him in. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside added a second love to his life — the sea. He studied to be a soldier in the navy, but still made time to study music.
    In the French Navy, he and two friends found time to play the music of Beethoven and other composers. Roussel also began composing. At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first public appearance as a composer. That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow naval officers offered to show it to a famous conductor, Edouard Colonne. When Roussel’s friend returned with the manuscript (手稿), he reported that Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
    Not long afterward, at the age of 2S, Roussel did just that. He applied the qualities that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a major force in twentieth century French music. As for Edouard Colonne’s inspiring advice that Roussel should devote his life to music, Roussel's naval friend later admitted that he had made it up and that he had never even shown Roussel’s manuscript to the conductor.
    小题1:What information can we get from the second paragraph?
    A．Albert’s grandfather died when Albert was eight years old.
    B．Albert's aunt arranged for him to take piano lessons.
    C．Albert gave up studying music after he studied to be a soldier in the navy.
    D．Albert came to love the sea after summer vacations at the seaside.
    小题2:From the third paragraph we know that ______.
    A．in the French Navy, Roussel and two friend began composing
    B．Roussel’s first public appearance at the church was successful
    C．Roussel's naval friend showed the wedding march to Edouard
    D．Edouard Colonne advised Roussel to devote his life to music
    小题3:Which of the following is true according to the text?
    A．The composing career of Roussel started stably.
    B．Roussel learned basic music knowledge from his aunt.
    C．A white lie helped Roussel achieve success.
    D．Roussel was cheated and hurt by his naval friend.
    小题4:Who told a lie according to the text?
    A．Roussel’s grandfather.B．Albert’s naval friend. C．Roussel's aunt. D．Edouard Colonne.

    It is really a happy thing to look back on the days I spent with Jennie. We met in night school. After Jennie and I had completed the required courses, we started teaching in the same school. For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son, we discovered we were kindred (同类的) spirits. "He’s a difficult little character," I explained. Jennie looked thoughtful. "Maybe you’re only seeing him with your eyes." She was silent for a moment and then added softly, "It is only with the heart that one sees rightly." I stared at her. "You’re quoting (引用) that! It’s from The Little Prince, Saint-Exupery’s book for children, one of my favorites. You know it, too?" Jennie nodded. "I love it. I’ve read it so often. I’ve practically memorized it."
    Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book because Jennie —more than anyone I know —possessed the gift of seeing with the heart.
    From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn’t that I didn’t have an excellent relationship with my husband and son, but my mother had died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters. I realize, now, how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life —things that must be shared to be fully appreciated.
    And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourth-grade problem child. One day I was at my wit’s end. "What he needs is a good beating!" I exploded.
    "He’s probably had plenty of those," Jennie said. "Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he does right, and a hug or two each day." I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I discovered a lovable little boy.
    Looking back, I have to admit that she taught me so much. The days I spent with her has become one of my happiest memories.
    小题1:What does the underlined part mean in the fourth paragraph?
    A．I was unsure of how to treat my son.
    B．I decided to give up my job.
    C．I faced financial difficulties.
    D．I was very disappointed with myself.
    小题2:How did the author and Jennie’s friendship grow?
    A．They both were interested in children’s education.
    B．They both liked a novel, The Little Prince.
    C．They often chatted together about their families.
    D．They both worked in the same school.
    小题3:We learn from the text that __________.
    A．the author has the gift of seeing with the heart
    B．the author had no friends before meeting Jennie
    C．the author had lost her mother before her marriage
    D．the author seldom praised her son in the past
    小题4:How does the author feel about her family?
    A．No one listened to her seemingly unimportant things.
    B．She didn’t get along well with her husband and son.
    C．She once seldom spoke to her mother.
    D．She felt quite lonely in her family.
    小题5:The text is mainly about _________.
    A．how to educate children properly

    One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I notice an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
    We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked.
    “May I get you something?”   “A coffee would be nice.”
    Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked, “How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”
    “Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchchill Downs. ”
    I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!
    My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.

    Instead of staying at home to care for the kids, many mothers work to help support their families. But what does a mother do when her child is sick?
    Sophia Fowkes worked as a computer programmer before, but she was fired for taking too much time off to care for her very sick child. Although she lost her job, she took an opportunity to turn her hobby into a business: creating “baby cakes”, a combination of diapers (尿布) and baby products artfully arranged to look like a cake. Inside, it contains blankets, towels, bottles and toys — things that can be used for babies. They are perfect gifts.
    However, the idea of making “baby cakes” came from one of her experiences. When her child was born, she received a gift called diaper cake. It was made of diapers, but it was small and unusable. So she decided to create her own style of it to give her friends as a gift. Her friends liked these gifts very much and advised her to make and sell “baby cakes”.
    She thought that it would be turned into a full-time business. In 1998, she started Baby-Cakes.com. After several years, her business grew and expanded in a way that even she had never expected. She sold her products online at first. Three years after her own website was created, demand for her products was so great that in August, 2001 she opened a real store. She is ready to combine the online store with the traditional store.

    小题2:What made Sophia decide to create “baby cakes” for sale?
    A．Her unemployment.B．Her family’s support.
