    Do you have a dream, something you always see yourself doing? Perhaps you see yourself as a lawyer, businessman, or even a scientist. Whatever it is, don’t let it die.
    A dream is a wonderful thing. It can give you hope for your future and encourage you to try when all odds are against you.
    However, there are dream killers that want to kill your dream. They may tell you that it is impossible for you, that you are not smart enough or that it’s never been done before. However, many times the biggest dream killer is yourself.
    Don’t let fear, doubt or lack of finances prevent you from fulfilling（实现） your dream. Talk back to these killers, “I can and fulfill my dream.” You may have to do this every day. The more often you talk to your heart that you can do it, the more safely your dream will be held within you.
    It is very important to take steps towards fulfilling your dream. For me, in order to fulfill my dream of one-day owning my own magazine, I needed to go back to school and finish my college degree. For you, it may be something different. You know deep inside what the voice of your dream calls for. Don’t be afraid and just do it. Try not to let too much time go by. Time is another one of those dream killers.
    Think about the words of a song by Yolanda Adams, “Keep the dream alive. Don’t let it die. If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try, don’t stop. And never give up. Don’t ever give up on you. Sometimes, life can place a stumbling block in your way. But you have to keep the faith.”
    When you dream, dream big and never give up. Your dream is just yours. Never let anyone tell you that your dream can’t happen -- it can! Keep seeing yourself do what’s never been done before. As you continue to feed your dream and protect it, not only will you keep it alive, but it will come true.

    C．You are not feeling quite well.

    A．It takes money to fulfill our dream.
    B．The first step is to know our dream.
    C．It is important for us to take action.
    D．We should not listen to the call of our heart.
    小题4: The words of Yolanda Adams’song are mentioned in the text     .

    I moved into a new house in July. Since then I have met a few of my neighbors who are very nice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors I know. There were nine neighbors whom I knew by name or spoke with often when I was out in my yard. I knew which houses they lived in.
    I decided to add one more to my list. This lady I decided to add lives down the street from me. I meet her every morning walking to work as I drive down the street. She always smiles to me. But I had no idea who she was and which house she lived in.
    I planned to make small fruit baskets and leave them on my neighbor's front porches (门廊) on Christmas Eve. I signed the cards: “Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”
    I saved the last for the friendly lady. I finally decided on a house where I met her each morning and guessed that it was hers.
    My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call, and a couple even came by to thank me.
    This morning I found a small note in the mailbox. It was addressed simply: Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road.
    The Thank You card really caught me by surprise. I opened it and read the message, “Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on our porch. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away last week. He talked a lot about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”
    I had no idea who Richard Kelly was and that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady’s basket on his porch by mistake. I wanted to say sorry, but that would be wrong. I believe that Mr. Kelly was meant to have that basket because he was dying. I hate that the nice lady did not get to receive a fruit basket on Christmas, but I believe if she knew what had happened, she would be happy. I feel pleased to have helped Richard Kelly's last days be more cheerful.
    小题1:How many Christmas gifts did the author intend to send?
    A．9.B．8C．10D．11
    小题2:Where did the friendly lady live?
    A．She lived at the end of Northumberland Road.
    B．Her address was 5104 Northumberland Road.
    C．She was thought to share a house with Mr. Kelly.
    D．The author was not sure about her address at all.
    小题3:How did the author’s neighbors respond to his gifts?
    A．They liked the gifts very much and were thankful.
    B．They were thankful that they wanted to be friends.
    C．They all made phone calls to say “Thank You”.
    D．They all visited him by person to show gratitude.
    小题4:What does the author mean in the last paragraph?
    A．He was regretful that the nice lady didn’t receive his gift.
    B．He was glad to have made Mr. Kelly's life more pleasant.
    C．He thought Richard Kelly deserved to receive that basket.
    D．The old lady was happy to sacrifice to make Kelly happy.

    As I began to feel completely sick of the cold North American winter, spring break finally arrived! What made me even more excited was that we were going to Florida to enjoy the warm weather!
    Just imagine wearing T-shirts or a swimsuit under the hot Florida sun!
    Before the vacation started, we had a little episode(插曲) at the airport. The alarm sounded when my host mom and me were walking through the security check. We were taken away to have further checks, but when they finally told us that we could go, we felt relieved and amused. It was just because of the decorations(装饰品) on my pants and the tinfoil(锡纸) around my host mom’s chewing gum! —Just as a reminder, no overly fashionable pants or tinfoil on a plane!
    Of course, I had a lot of first experiences during this special vacation. Since eight of us were living in a house, we had to share bedrooms, I, fortunately or unfortunately, had to share a room with my 4-year-old host sister. She is tiny compared to me, but she took up about two thirds of the bed. Moreover, because I was not used to sleeping in the same room with others, I was afraid of waking her up and hardly slept at all.
    Luckily, except for that, everything went really well. My host family were really warm hearted, and they wanted me to try everything new. With their “persuasion”, I was “forced” to go kayaking(划皮艇), which turned out to be really fun. We went through some canals and I saw manatees(海牛) and dolphins with my own eyes for the very first time!
    When we finally landed in Wisconsin again, everyone looked tanned and full of energy!
    小题1: What happened to the author and her host mom at the airport?
    A．They lost their passports.
    B．Their luggage was overweight.
    C．They quarreled with the other passengers.
    D．The decorations and tinfoil brought them trouble.
    小题2: What does the underlined word “they” in Para 3 most probably refer to?
    A．The author and her host family people.
    B．People in charge of security at the airport.
    C．People sharing the same house with the author.
    D．The author’s host mom and the host sister.
    小题3: We can learn from the first paragraph that the author   .
    A．hated going to FloridaB．had no sense of weather
    C．disliked the cold winterD．didn’t like living in North America
    小题4:From the passage, we can infer that   .
    A．the author thought little of her host family
    B．the author didn’t like her 4-year-old host sister
    C．the security check at the airport was very strict
    D．the author didn’t get along well with her host family

    How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and the old wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasure and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each agc gives him without wasting any time in uselcss regrets.
    Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved whatever he may do. It’s impossible for him to be given so much again in his life without having to do anything in return. Besides, life is always giving new things to the child. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside makes him wild. But a child has his pains; he is not so free to do as he wishes. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he has done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.
    When the young man starts to make his own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents; but at the time he is forced to accept duties. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the law of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison, lf, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble, and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady pro-gress in his job and of building up his own position in society.
    Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age should come wisdom and tile ability to help others with advice wisely given. They can have the joy of seeing their Children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them and, perhaps, best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.
    小题1:The main reason children wish they were grown up, and the old wish they were young again is that ______.
    A．both aren’t satisfied with the weak points at their ages
    B．both enjoy the strong points at the other age by looking back or looking forward
    C．the human beings should be like this
    D．they don’t think both ages are acceptable
    小题2:“Enjoy what each age gives him without wasting time in useless regrets” means ______. 
    A．Enjoy what is given to him by people at his age, feeling regrets
    B．Enjoy himself at his own age, feeling regrets for a waste of time
    C．Make full use of the time he is given at his age instead of regretting having no achievements
    D．Enjoy his own age and took down on the people at other ages
    小题3:“Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard” means “______”. 
    A．Children shouldn’t be made to live a hard life
    B．All the children won’t have to work for their own living
    C．Children shouldn’t answer for the hard life they are leading
    D．A child bas few duties to try hard to make a living for himself or for his seniors
    小题4: According to the passage, what is a child’s greatest dissatisfaction? 
    A．He thinks he has not got the equal freedom as his seniors.
    B．He thinks he knows less about things than the older do.
    C．He thinks it easy for him to do something wrong.
    D．He thinks the society doesn’t believe in him.

    A good heart
    Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa among great poverty and disease. He came to Georgetown University on a scholarship(奖学金) to study medicine — but Coach(教练) John Thompson got a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others.

    My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to kill myself. Just for my kids, I had to continue to live and work as a small town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip.
    On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids：“ I'm going to Afghanistan.”And a few weeks later, International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs ，we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule.Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.
    In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami (海啸), Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil war, and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees,_and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. “Adventure or not？”I often asked myself.
    When my wife passed away, I thought my life was gone. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
    I thought about the moment many times during my“adventures”. I didn't know how predictive those words would be，but I knew that she was still with me.
    小题1:Where has the doctor been in the past few years?
    A．Some countries where he could set up clinics.
    B．Some African countries where flu broke out.
    C．The places where the earthquakes happened.
    D．The places that the horrible disasters struck.
    小题2:How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan?
    A．Tired and troublesome.B．Busy and risky.
    C．Meaningful and helpful. D．Frightening and depressing.
    小题3:The underlined word“ refugees” means people________.
    A．who are robbed, killed, or woundedB．who suffer from flu in movable clinics
    C．who like to take adventuresD．who have lost homes because of disasters
