    A month after Hurricane Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans. There lay my house, reduced towaist-high ruins, smelly and dirty.
    Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill，she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?”she asked I said I was, “No charge.”She said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened.
    As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage (抵押贷款〉on our mined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d began to accept that we*d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kemmedy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for State, the online magazine  and wanted to give us (""no conditions attached’）a new house across thelake from New Orleans.
    It sounded too good to be true, but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional generosity, that we had no plan to go back. Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to let his house to me, while he went to England on his one-year paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kemdedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.
    Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity. It’s almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance.
    小题1:The garage employee’s attitude toward the author was that of          
    A．unconcernB．sympathy
    C．doubtD．tolerance
    小题2:What do we know about James Kemnedy?
    A．He was a writer of an online magazine.
    B．He was a poet at the University of Florida
    C．He offered the author a new house free of charge.
    D．He learned about the author’s sufferings via e-mail
    小题3:It can be inferred from the text that         
    A．the author’s family was in financial difficulty
    B．rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster
    C．houses were difficult to find in the hurricane-stricken area
    D．the mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank
    小题4:The author learned from his experience that         
    A．worldly possessions can be given up when necessary
    B．generosity should be encouraged in some cases
    C．people benefit from their sad stories
    D．human beings are kind after all.

    小题1:B
    小题2:C
    小题3:A
    小题4:D

    试题分析：本文主要讲述作者在遭遇飓风袭击毁坏房屋之后受到很多陌生人仁慈的帮助，之后作者感悟到虽然遭遇了痛苦的经历，但是他们的爱心使他坚定了对人性的坚信。

    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.

    There are stories about two US Presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don't know if either story is true，but they are both interesting.
    The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn't know how to spell. So what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while，he shortened that term to “OK”．
    The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York. Van Buren's friends organized a club to help him become president. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”．
    小题1:The author ________．
    A．believes both of the stories
    B．doesn't believe a word of the stories
    C．is not sure whether the stories are true
    D．is telling the stories just for fun
    小题2:According to the passage，President Jackson ________．
    A．couldn't draw up any documents at all
    B．wasn't good at reading，writing or spelling
    C． often had his assistants sign documents for him
    D．didn't like to read important papers by himself
    小题3:According to the first story, the term “OK”________．
    A．was approved of by President Jackson
    B．was the title of some official documents
    C．was first used by President Jackson
    D．was an old way to spell “all correct”
    小题4:According to the second story，the term “OK” ________．
    A．was the short way to say “Old Kinderhook Club”

    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

    I pulled into the driveway of my Mum’s house and saw my two-year-old daughter’s smiling face staring out the window at me. Vanessa had stayed with her grandma for a week, while her mommy, Georgia ,was in hospital 36 complications(并发症) in her second pregnancy. Vanessa, who missed her room and toys, 37 awaited the arrival of daddy to pick her up and take her to see her mother. After the visit we’d go home where I had a surprise for her.
    Vanessa and I spent an hour with Georgia and then 38 home.
    I got Vanessa out of her snowsuit, 39 on the sofa and sat beside her. “Vanessa, you know you’re going to have a new brother or sister soon.”

    First beds are first milestones. For the first time we are free to get out of bed without  44 someone lift us from our cradles. We are trusted to handle the freedom with respect and are expected to 45 new rules. First days of school, first loves, firsts jobs，first homes or apartments, first child；they’re all  46 in life.
