    Henry Ford grew up on an un-electrified farm, and as a young man he followed Edison's career as the inventor became a national role model. Ford took a job at the Edison Illuminating Company working his way up to chief engineer．
    In 1896 Ford was thirty-three and, though still working for Edison Co., he had created his first experimental automobile the Ford Quadricycle2 during his off-time. At an Edison company party in New York, Ford had his first chance to meet his hero Edison and was able to explain his new automobile to the great inventor. Edison was impressed. Edison is said to have slammed his fist down_and shouted, “Young man, that's the thing! You have it! Your car is self-contained and carries its own power plant.” Edison himself had been working on the idea, but had only been considering electricity as the power source, so the idea of a gas engine was a somewhat new one．
    The words comforted Ford greatly, who immediately set out building a second car which was to become the Model-T.6. The two men became fast friends and would go on camping trips together．When Edison later became limited to a wheelchair, Ford brought an extra one to his house so they could race．At the 50th anniversary of the invention of light-bulb, Ford honored Edison．When Edison spoke, he ended his speech directed at Ford, “ As to Henry Ford, words fail to express my feelings．I can only say that he is my friend.” Therefore it is no surprise that Ford wanted something to remember Edison by after he passed away in 1931.
    Once, Ford asked Thomas Edison's son Charles to sit by the dying inventor's bedside and hold a test tube next to his father's mouth to catch his final breath. Ford was a man with many strange behaviors (as was Edison) including some interest in reanimation and spiritualism（夏活通灵术）and some say that he was attempting to catch Edison's soul as it escaped his body in hopes of later bringing the inventor back to life.
    The test tube itself didn't turn up until 1950 when it was listed in the Ford possessions after Clara Ford's passing away, and then lost again until 1978 when it was discovered in an exhibit Entitled “Henry Ford-A Personal History” in the Henry Ford Museum. It would then be discovered that the tube was labeled “Edison's Last Breath”.
    There is a further mystery of this “last breath” test tube．It would seem as if Edison had quite a last breath indeed, as the Edison Estate holds a collection of 42 test tubes all supposedly containing Edison's last breath．
    Regardless of the excitement over the last breath, the test tube is quite touching in its meaning．Although both men were known for all sorts of poor behavior towards their loved ones and mistreatment of employees, between them at least, there was clearly a deep respect and admiration．
    小题1:The purpose of the author writing this passage is to          .
    A．remind the readers of the importance of the two inventors
    B．stress the importance of friendship
    C．tell the readers some stories about the two inventors
    D．show that love can lead to some poor behaviors
    小题2:From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2, we can learn that       .
    A．Edison envied what Ford had achieved
    B．Edison was annoyed that Ford did better than him
    C．Edison was angry because Ford stole his idea
    D．Edison was extremely amazed at Ford's new idea
    小题3:“The 1ast breath test tube” can probably be regarded as       .
    A．a symbol of a friendship and memory
    B．a witness to a scientific breakthrough
    C．a failure to bring Edison back to life
    D．a sign of the two inventors' poor behavior
    小题4:It can be learned from the last paragraph that“      ”.
    A．Great minds think alike
    B．Nobody is perfect
    C．Two heads are better than one
    D．A friend in need is a friend indeed

    When I was a child, I was shocked at the idea that my sisters could be my best friends. Now, I wouldn’t have it any other way. At the time, the idea of my two sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. We fought all the time over toys, food, attention, what to watch on television—you name it, and we quarreled about it at some point. How could my sisters be my best friends? They weren’t the same age as I. We all had our own friends in school.
    My mother never let the three of us forget that sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish like most parents’ was to give us something that she never had. Growing up as an only child, she longed for (渴望) siblings. When she gave birth to three daughters, the fulfillment (实现) of her dream had only just begun. She had given each of us a gift and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted. She would frequently tell us how lucky we were. But there were other, more subtle (难以察觉的) ways that she encouraged us to grow closer. She never showed favoritism to one daughter over the other, as not to cause jealousy or bitterness between sisters. She constantly took us places together—skating, shopping and swimming, so that we developed common interests. And when we were teenagers, Mom always punished us equally, giving us yet another bonding (密切相连) experience.
    We didn’t always get along beautifully and fought just like any other siblings. But somewhere in between Mom’s lectures, the family vacations and the shared memories, we realized that our mother was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I do with no one else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together, side by side, even holding hands when we crossed the finish line. When my sister Karen got married, I was her maid of honor(伴娘). Cindy and I traveled through Europe together and even shared an apartment for two years. The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets.
    It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. Today she doesn’t have to. She already knows.
    小题1:As a child, the author was shocked at her mother’s idea because ________.
    A．her sisters seemed strange to her
    B．her sisters didn’t like to be her friends
    C．none of the girls had their own friends

    A．She punished her daughter differently.
    B．She showed equal love to her daughters.
    C．She encouraged her daughters to do sports.
    D．She often took her daughters to many places.
    小题4:The best title of the passage could be ________.
    A．The Greatest GiftB．Mother’s Love
    C．Growing ExperiencesD．Unforgettable Memories

    English was always my favorite subject. In my freshman year of high school, I could write a killer composition. In my second year, my teacher        me to give spelling tests to the class.

    I graduated from high school,      early and had children.       about my English, I often helped my kids with their English homework.

    Had I lived up to those grades and       myself according to those letters, I would have never confidently sought my writing career. Had I       my early grades instead of myself, I would have allowed my fear of failure to       enthusiasm and damage my creativity.

    My three-year-old granddaughter, Tegan, went with her parents to a family gathering at the home of her other grandparents. Everyone was having a wonderful time visiting and catching up on all the latest family news.
    Like most children, Tegan was having a good time playing with all the toys that were different from her own and that were kept for children to play with at her grandparents’ house. In particular, Tegan had found a little tea set and had begun pretending that she was having a tea party. She set up all the place settings and arranged her table with the great care and elegance that only a three-year-old can create. Meanwhile, her Daddy was engrossed in conversation, and as he continued to chat with his family, Tegan would hand him a cup of "tea". Her Daddy, who always tries to participate in her games, would pause for a few seconds from his conversation, and say all the proper words and gestures for her tea party which would thrill Tegan. He would request two lumps of sugar. He would tell her how wonderful her tea tasted, and then he would continue his adult conversation with his family.
    After going through this routine several times, her Daddy suddenly awoke to reality as he had a flash of concern in his mind: "She is only three years old, where is she getting this ‘tea’ that I've been dutifully drinking?" He quietly followed her, without her knowing, and his fears were growing stronger as he saw her turn and go through the bathroom door. Sure enough, there she was stretching up on her tippy toes reaching up to get her ‘tea’ water -- out of the container of water that grandpa used to soak his false teeth!

    This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the       window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look       in that bed alongside       wildflowers.
    Everyday I drove       the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes       ...” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband       gave me a folding shovel(铁锹) one year to be used for that      purpose.
    One day on my way home from work, I was       to see that the highway department had moved the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you       too long. You       it when you first saw them blooming this spring.”
    A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor(脑瘤晚期). She is 20 years older than my husband and      , because of age and distance, we haven’t been as      as we all would have liked.
    I couldn’t help but see the       between the pretty blue flowers and the     between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some valuable       that will bloom every year for us.
    And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'll stop and       them to my wildflower garden

    Would you jump off the Great Wall of China for 300 pounds a day?
    A stunt (特技表演)person is a man or woman who does all the dangerous bits of acting work in films or on TV. This can be anything from a simple fall into a swimming pool, or walking off the top of a tall building. It sounds like a job that you would have to be made to try, but there are actually lots of people who want to do it.
    Sarah France, twenty-four, is one of Britain’s sixteen professional stunt women ---there are one hundred and sixty stunt men in the country. We asked Sarah how she came to be a stunt woman.
    “When I was young I was trained to be a dancer, and for seven years after school I was hardly out of work. A dancer’s life is pretty short, though, and my father suggested I should think about doing stunt work after I’d given up dancing. I thought about it for the next two years and decided to have a go. For six months, I worked really hard every day. I had to learn different skills---swimming, jumping, horse -riding, etc.”
    Sarah finished the course in just five months and applied to the office which decides whether you’re accepted as a professional stunt person or not. Two weeks after she was accepted, Sarah was throwing off the Great Wall of China in Superman IV.
    “I was very lucky to get work so quickly. I had a small part, playing a traveler who fell off the Wall after an earthquake. The traveler’s life was saved by Superman, of course! Actually, I fell forty-five feet into a pile of cardboard boxes! You can’t use anything softer than that or you will be brought back into view of the cinema. Instead you just have to learn to fall properly. It’s quite dangerous but I enjoy it.”

    A．they are madB．they don’t think them dangerous

    小题3:Soon after Sarah got her new job as a stunt person, ______________.
    A．an earthquake took place near the Great Wall
    B．she fell off the Great Wall and hurt herself
    C．she was asked to act in Superman IV
    D．she learned how to fall properly
    小题4:Which of the following words best describes Sarah?
    A．HealthyB．AdventurousC．SkillfulD．Successful
    小题5:The purpose of the first sentence of the passage is to ____________.

    B．invite you to try jumping off the Great Wall for money
    C．ask you to be a stunt person
