    When I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.
    My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.
    Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.
    Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.
    小题1:After the author quit her job, she decided to ______.
    A．divorce her husbandB．be a wedding photographer
    C．pay off all her debtD．go travelling abroad

    B．She realised his dream of becoming a travel photographer.
    C．She got a job as an editor in a publishing house.
    D．She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally.
    小题3:The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______.
    A．her personal reasonsB．her photographing skills
    C．free marketing for bloggingD．booming of travel industry
    小题4: What did the author think of her two years' work?
    A．Inspiring. B．Appealing. C．Interesting. D．Challenging.

    小题1:D
    小题2:D
    小题3:C
    小题4:A
    作者在本文中讲述了自己本来想做一名旅游摄影师，但是无心插柳柳成荫成为了一名职业的博主。
    小题1:D
    【试题解析】细节题。根据文章第一段2,3行. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.可知当我辞职以后我决定离开美国出去旅行，同时拍摄照片。故D正确。
    小题2:D
    【试题解析】推理题。根据文章最后3行When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger可知编辑故事我我已经不能再从事旅行摄影师的工作了 ，但是我一路上所拍摄的照片被我发到微博上以后，在无意中我成为了专业的博客。故D正确。
    小题3:C
    【试题解析】细节题。根据文章第三段最后一句At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.可知C项free marketing for blogging符合上下文。
    小题4:A
    【试题解析】推理题。根据文章最后3行Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere可知虽然我的工作很有意义，但是让我更开心的是我的经历告诉他人只要努力追赶自己的梦想，一切都可以实现。说明作者认为自己的工作是可以鼓舞他人的。故A正确。
    【长难句解析】
    When I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused.
    【翻译】当我决定辞去作为婚礼摄影师的工作的时候，我才20大几，刚刚和Bob离婚，他让我感觉很空虚和困惑。
    【分析】本句中有一个定语从句who had left me empty and confused修饰先行词Bob,注意句中的时态，过去完成时表示该动作是在谓语动词之前就发生的。另外注意in one’s twenties表示在某人二十几岁的时候。

    Phil Donahue，the former television talk show host，had something of a reputation for giving clergy（神职人员）a hard time，and he has said the reason he’s that way is that he has little respect for them．Most clergy will do anything for some media attention，he says．In his autobiography(自传)，however, he tells about an encounter with a minister who was different．It happened while Donahue was a young television reporter in Ohio，and one day he was sent to West Virginia in the bitter cold winter to cover a mine disaster．He went by himself in a battered little car, carrying a mini camera to film the story．
    It was so cold when he got there，however, the camera wouldn’t work．So he put it inside his coat to warm it up enough to run．In the meantime，the families of the trapped miners were gathered around．The),were just simple mining people—women，old men，and children．Several of the trapped men were fathers．
    Then the local minister arrived．He was tall and thin，and he didn’t speak well at a11．But he gathered all the families around in a circle，and the held one another in their arms while he prayed for them．
    As this was going on，Donahue was still trying to get his camera to work，and he was extremely disappointed because he couldn’t film the scene．Finally，after the prayer was over，Donahue managed to get his camera operating．So he told the minister he had his camera working now and asked if the minister would please do the prayer again so he could film it for the evening news．
    This simple West Virginia preacher, however，told Donahue，“Young man，we don’t pray for the news．I’m sorry，but we’ve already prayed，and I will not pose．”

    A city child’s summer is spent in the street in front of his home, and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right, of course.
    I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. No grownup ever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed. I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now. “What’s in those books you’re always reading?” he asked casually. “Stories,” I answered. “What kind?” asked somebody else without much interest.
    Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did,for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to reain among them; but instead of answering his question, I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book was Sister Carrie. They listened bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man’s entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a new and exciting experience.
    The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G.A.Henty. I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left them behind. Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was no reading material between children’s and grownups’books or I could find none. I had gone right fromTome Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.
    The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式) took place. As it grew dark, I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evening’s tale. Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening. It was not true, of course; but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position. I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall. Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences, but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store, I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.
    小题1:Watching the boys playing baseball, the writer must have felt ________.
    A．bitter and lonelyB．special and different
    C．pleased and excitedD．disturbed and annoyed
    小题2:The writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the question because the boy ________.
    A．invited him to join in their game
    B．liked the book that he was reading
    C．broke the long silence of that summer evening
    D．offered him an opportunity that changed his life
    小题3:According to Paragraph 3, story-telling was popular among the boys basically because ________.
    A．the story was from a children’s book
    B．listening to tales was an age-old practice
    C．the boys had few entertainments after dark
    D．the boys didn’t read books by themselves
    小题4:The boys were attracted to Sister Carrie because ________.
    A．it was written by Theodore Dreiser
    B．it was specifically targeted at boys
    C．it gave them a deeper feeling of pleasure
    D．it talked about the wonders of the world
    小题5:Sometimes the writer stopped at the most exciting part of a story to _______.
    A．play a mean trick on the boys
    B．experience more joy of achievement
    C．add his own imagination to the story
    D．help the boys understand the story better
    小题6:What is the message conveyed in the story?
    A．One can find his position in life in his own way.
    B．Friendship is built upon respect for each other.
    C．Reading is more important than playing games.
    D．Adult habits are developed from childhood.

    The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
    The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often          about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
    All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who           that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this           girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
    But how could I help her            in with us? There had to be a           .
    One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had            her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)           copy.
    I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming          show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had          . “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted          the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough          . Could you help me, Suzy?”
    On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s             were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
    “And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students            them.”
    I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw          well?”
    Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “           this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a             ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”
    Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
    I            , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never          anything in her whole life.
    Everyone started to            their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defening. I knew then Suzy was going to ne all right.

    My mother and I started our morning by rushing into the local grocery store. I waited in line at the Starbucks counter while she        around to pick up a few things. 
    As I was        there I noticed an elderly woman, wearing layers (层)        layers of old torn clothing, moving behind me in line.
    She had a few toiletries(化妆品)and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to       since our queue was shorter than the grocery store queues were. 
    At some point I became       of her moving closer behind me –it was         than I was comfortable with! I instinctively (本能地)      a hand over my purse and drew it closer to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild         about this homeless woman who might try to          from me.
    Then it was my         to order. As the cashier rang up my total I discovered I was 37 cents        . I called to my mother but she is hard of hearing. She asked me to         what I said but she still couldn't          me out.
    At that point, a long grey arm, with         in its sleeves,          over from behind me. She laid 37 cents out on the counter, saying, "Here, We all need some        sometimes."
    I was         ! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to         and in great need herself. I had judged her         and she had reached out, voluntarily, to help me! 
    What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about         others. Thank You, God!!
