    Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in the blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
    Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. The airline had announced her        and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, “I love you. I wish you enough.” She        said, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.” They kissed and she left.
    He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to       . I tried not to interrupt him, but he        me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?”
    “Yes, I have,” I replied. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” “I am        and she lives much too far away. I have        ahead, and the reality is, the next trip back will be for my funeral” he said.
    “When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough’. May I ask what that means?”
    He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been        for many generations within my family. My parents        say it to everyone.”
    He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it       , and then he smiled and        the following:
    　　“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
    　　I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
    　　I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
    　　I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much       .
    　　I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
    　　I wish you enough        to appreciate all that you possess.
    　　I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you enough the final ‘Good-byes’.”
    　　Then he walked away, leaving me lost in thought.

    I never thought I would have a life­changing experience at Wal­Mart.
    Although my thoughts were only on speed，the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted，and I glanced toward the cashier.
    There stood a man in his seventies，wearing glasses and a nice smile.I thought，well，he’s an old guy!
    For the next few minutes I watched him.He greeted every customer before scanning the items.Sure，his words were the usual，“How’s it going？” But he did something different—he actually listened to people.Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
    I thought it was odd.I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit.After a while，you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back.I could say，“I just found out I have six months to live，” and someone would reply，“Have a great day！”
    But that wasn’t the end.
    He gave them the change，walked around the counter，and extended his right hand in an act of friendship.He looked the customers in the eyes.“I sure want to thank you for shopping here today，” he told them.“You have a great day.Bye­bye.”
    The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless.There were smiles and some sheepish grins.All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected.They would gather their things and walk out，smiling.
    Of course，he did the same to me and I got to know his name，Marty.
    Who was that guy？It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.
    I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.
    小题1:The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because ________.
    A．the cashier couldn’t work as fast as others
    B．there were some big purchases
    C．the cashier did more than scanning the items
    D．the writer was not patient enough
    小题2:According to the writer，when common people ask you “How’s it going？” ________.
    A．they don’t really care what you may answer
    B．they are just practicing their conversation ability
    C．they are inquiring about your private information
    D．they don’t expect to hear any negative answers
    小题3:What was most customers’ reaction to Marty’s behaviors?
    A．They thought it priceless.
    B．They were in some way moved.
    C．They thought it awful and odd.
    D．They felt somewhat offended.
    小题4:What does the writer intend to express through the text?
    A．Our everyday life is always full of surprises.
    B．Most customers enjoy being treated this way.
    C．Being different is a good way of doing business.
    D．A little positive action can make a big difference.

    Carlos had been in New York for five months now, and he detested it. He would never forget the day when the plane landed. His parents had big smiles on their faces as they discussed the wonderful new life they would have in this great city. His older sister and brother looked in wonder and excitement at the buildings. Uncle Miguel and Aunt Esperanza thought of the good jobs they would get. Grandmother and Grandfather told him what a lucky boy he was to come to this wonderful city. But Carlos was lonely. The city looked big, cold and dirty to him.
    They lived in an apartment in Manhattan. There were stores and cinemas close to their home. But Carlos didn’t want these things. He loved his home in the country in Puerto Rico; he loved the green fields, the hot sun, and the lovely beaches.
    He didn’t want to go to school because it made him think of his friends at home. And he didn’t want to learn a new language that he could never describe the world as beautifully as his own.
    He began to go the dock(码头), because this made him feel closer to Puerto Rico. He sat down and watched the ships. He would often find a man also sitting there looking at the sea. The man was Eric—a taxi driver who came there to escape from the noisy traffic.
    Eric noticed the young boy and felt his sadness. One day he said, “Yes, it’s hard to leave your homeland. I remember when I left Norway 15 years ago. I know it’s hard to start a new life in a new country, but let’s face it. I did it, and you can do it, too.”
    From then on the taxi driver and the young boy began to develop a deep friendship.
    小题1:The underlined word “detested” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
    A．forgotB．enjoyedC．hatedD．missed
    小题2:According to the text, ________________.
    A．Carlos’ grandparents were afraid of the traffic in New York
    B．Carlos’ parents were looking forward to the life in New York
    C．Carlos’ uncle and aunt found it hard to get jobs in New York
    D．Carlos’ brother and sister got excited at the schools in New York
    小题3:Why did Carlos feel lonely?
    A．He knew nobody around his apartment.
    B．No one went to the movies with him.
    C．His parents left him alone at home.
    D．He missed the life in Puerto Rico.
    小题4:Eric and Carlos became friends because they ________.

    My mind went blank when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of the garage. This can't be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, cold, against my head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying，“What do you want? Take my wallet，” but at the time I thought of nothing.
    I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house—Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the gunmen's voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremy's head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy，and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didn't crouch (蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead.
    I remember thinking there was something ridiculous and illogical about screaming “Help, help！” at eight o'clock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea(恳求) to the  more specific “Help, let me in, please let me in！” But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremy's screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled.
    The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to  come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely，“Please go and eat. We're OK.”
    I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of  bringing back the death penalty(处罚) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I  was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer  sentences wouldn't change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was  directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes  talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy  and me?
    People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out  in force twenty minutes later. They were ill­tempered about what was, to them, much trouble  about nothing.  After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to  describing the gunmen. “Typical，” said one policeman when we couldn't even agree on how tall  the men were.  Both of us were able to describe the guns in horrifying detail, but the two  policemen who stayed to make the report didn't think that would be much help.
    The policemen were matter­of­fact about the whole thing. The thin one said，“That was a  stupid thing to do, throwing away the keys. When a man has a gun against your head you do  what you're told.” Jeremy looked properly embarrassed.
    Then the fat policeman came up and the thin one went to look around the outside of the  house. “That was the best thing you could have done, throwing away the keys，” he said. “If you  had gone into the house with them...” His voice became weaker. “They would have hurt her” ——he twisted his head toward me——“and killed you both.” Jeremy looked happier. “Look，” said the fat policeman kindly, “ there's no right or wrong in the situation. There's just luck.”
    All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car  window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter how many  hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time—no  intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right. There's only luck. The next time I might end up dead.
    And I’m sure there will be a next time.  It can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone.Security is an illusion(幻觉); there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, but they're fooling themselves.
    小题1:When the writer saw the gun pointing against the car window，________.
    A．she felt very annoyed
    B．she lost consciousness
    C．she felt very much nervous
    D．she lost the power of thinking
    小题2:What most possibly drove the two gunmen away?
    A．Jeremy's fighting.
    B．The author's screaming.
    C．Their neighbour's brave action.
    D．The police's arrival.
    小题3:When the author called for help, the neighbors didn't come out immediately because________.
    A．they were much too frightened
    B．they were busy preparing dinners
    C．they needed time to find baseball bats
    D．they thought someone was playing a trick
    小题4:What the author wants to tell us is that________.
    A．neighbors are not helpful in moments of difficulty
    B．the police are not reliable when one is in trouble
    C．security is impossible as long as people can have guns
    D．preventing robbers entering your house is the best choice

    Travis laughed as he tore at the wrapping (包装) paper on his birthday present. He was so       ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
    All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball      , Chuck Hart.     Hart was criticized for his poor sportsmanship and infamous        he was a great player. In fact, Travis wasn’t thinking about Hart’s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s       on the side of the box. He realized that something was     as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was        for his amazing work in the community.
    Travis’s hands     ; his heart stopped. It wasn’t that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think?
    They were the wrong shoes and Travis would be     by the other players. When he looked up into his dad’s eyes, however, Travis knew he     tell him. “Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes,” Travis said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
    Next morning his dad drove him to school. When they      in front of his destination, Travis slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
    “Hey, Travis, wait a minute…” his dad said     “Travis, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)      . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Travis’s feet, “is someone I     . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in     ? “
    “ No,” Travis said.
    “ Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a(n)      when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Travis,     you were polite and made the best of it. You have honor, like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I am hoping that someday, your       will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
    When Travis looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes     . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful      .

    To those who regularly watch presidential press conferences, Helen Thomas is a familiar figure．Usually dressed in red and always seated in the front row, she is always the first or second reporter the president calls upon．It is an honor she has earned．Besides, it affords her the perfect opportunity to do what she does best - challenge the president and other public officials to tell the plain truth．She said, "We reporters' priority（首要事情） is the people's right to know - without fear or favor．We are the people's servants．"
    Helen Thomas was born in Kentucky in 1920．All the nine Thomas children were brought up to value education, and all were expected to make something of themselves through working hard．She made up her mind while still in high school to become a reporter after writing for the student newspaper．After receiving her bachelor's degree in 1942, Thomas headed straight for Washington, D．C．in search of a newspaper job．Before long, she landed one at Washington Daily News．Her duty included fetching coffee and doughnuts for the paper's reporters and editors．The eager young woman found the atmosphere exciting and was convinced she had made the right career choice．
