    While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.
    The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal（一向节俭的）Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!
    Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!
    Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.
    After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”
    Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.
    The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.
    小题1:What was Andrew’s plan that Friday?
    A．To request a wage increase from his boss.
    B．To get a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.

    A．Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster.
    B．Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the company.
    C．Andrew’s boss agreed to his request.
    D．One of Andrew’s colleagues had told his wife the good news.
    小题4:Why did Tina prepare a grand dinner for Andrew that day?
    A．She was confident of his getting a pay raise.
    B．She meant to show her support whatever the result would be.
    C．She believed that her husband was the best in his company.
    D．She wanted to express her gratitude for his devotion to the family.

    小题2:C
    小题3:D
    小题4:B
    小题5:D

    试题分析：本文叙述了Andrew在公司的工作取得了一定的成绩之后，他告诉他的妻子他要请求老板给他涨工资，他经过了思想的准备工作就和老板说了，没有想到老板答应了，他很高兴，准备回家和妻子分享这个好消息，没有想到妻子为他准备好饭菜，而人没有在家，却留了两张不同的卡片给他，卡片上写着无论是哪种结果，她都会很爱自己的丈夫。
    小题1:细节理解题。根据While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise.他要向老板请求涨工资，故选A。
    小题2:细节理解题。根据Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit.不怕超速，急于赶往家中，想把这个涨工资的好消息快点和妻子分享，故选C。

    小题5:推理判断题。根据最后一段可知害怕被拒绝往往是软弱的表现和当我们知道有人爱我们不管我们是成功还是失败，我们可以接受或拒绝任何挫折,故选D。
    点评：推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了做出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。该题要求在理解表面文字的基础上做出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意思和深层意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。

    I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer last surnmen The training
    I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people's lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
    My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not  read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket,because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
    As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence,which encouraged her to continue her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarketelt. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son,Tony, a shy first grader with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
    As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.

    My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other   36   , including her “sixth sense”, that she rarely gives the impression she’s   37 anything.
    Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us,   38  that she doesn’t push too hard on them,   39  really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house. She moves around so fast that often   40  don’t realize she’s blind.
    I  41 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   42 about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was   43 excited about her finger-painting project.
    “Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. "I learned how to   44 colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle   45  with us.
    To my great   46   , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend!
    Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my  47 showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really   48   what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt   49  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   50  in conversation.
    When I told her, she was   51  for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla   52 . And I knew my child was   53  because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla's   54  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   55 .”
    Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

    While I was on my way to Walmart, I was greeted by an elder woman who was working at the door as a greeter, I had a return to make so she stopped me and asked to tag my bag. Usually I would have gotten annoyed because I know I don’t steal, so why does my bag need to be tagged? I’d just witnessed someone ahead of me being not so nice, and treating the lady like she was a nobody. I could see this lady looked to be at retirement age, trying to make ends meet. The look on her face and the energy she gave was that of someone afraid and not knowing where they stood in life. Not to mention the person ahead of me who’d just snatched(夺) a bag back from her and stormed off without even saying thank you. I could tell this woman was hurt by that, and no one knows how many people had been treating her that way all day long.
    What if she was a grandmother who’d recently taken care of her grandchildren for whatever season? What if her husband she had to support recently fell sick and they couldn’t afford the medical expenses, so she had to go back to work? What if she just lost everything she had in her retirement and now she had to go back to work?
    All she wants is to do her job and do it well. All she wants is to serve customers the way she was trained. All she needs is to be appreciated. Can I be that someone she needs, just for the moment?
    I looked her in her eyes as she scanned my bag, smiled and said, “Your hair is beautiful and fits you well!” Her face lit up and she smiled back and began to tell me how much easier it is to manage. It was salt-and-pepper hair and was cut in the prettiest style. She handed my bag back, smiled and told me the service desk was straight down to my left. I said “Thank you!”
    小题1:At the door of Walmart, the old woman_____.
    A．asked every customer for money to feed her family
    B．was made to welcome customers and check their bags
    C．was asked to keep the door open all the time
    D．worked as guide to give customers direction
    小题2:Seeing the look of the old woman and the treatment she received, the author_____.
    A．became annoyedB．showed sympathy
    C．was puzzledD．turned generous
    小题3:It could be learned from paragraph2 that the author_____.
    A．didn’t understand why the old woman did such a job
    B．insisted the old woman should stay at home comfortably
    C．was sure the old woman was respected by people
    D．supposed the old woman might be in trouble for some reason
    小题4:By saying “Your hair is beautiful and fits you well.” the author wanted to ____.
    A．make the old woman feel appreciated
    B．please her so as not to let her bag tagged
    C．praise her for her hair style and clothes
    D．confirm her hard work and special beauty

    Once there was a man who lied to eat mangoes. One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.
    So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.
    Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived - a well-known sage who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones.
    He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.
    Everybody was surprised. The hanging mango lover started to shout: What are you doing?! Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck?”  The sage was silent. Then he took another stone and threw it at the man. The man was very angry: “If I could just come down, I would show you!”
    That’s what everybody wanted - that he came down. But how? Now everybody was tense, as to what would happen next! Some wanted to chastise the sage, but they didn’t. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was enraged and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge.（复仇）
    He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.
    However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really sed him because he induced（引诱）him to try his best and save himself.
    “I should be thankful and not angry.”
