The world was mysterious (神秘的) when I was a child, so miracles (奇迹) were welcome wonders. Now, there doesn’t seem to be space for them in this world I so intelligently understand.

Perhaps it’s from years of working around sick and often dying children, watching time and time again as a child slips away from the arms of a begging mother. I have stopped hoping as the parents around me hope.

I recently cared for a patient near the end of his life. Medically speaking, his situation was hopeless, which made me feel helpless and defeated.

His mother came in to see him. I had prepared myself to support her, imagining she would crumble (崩溃) into a pile of tears.

“Our God is faithful,” she said, with a smile on her face and the sunshine of hope in her eyes.

“Cancer is faithful,” I muttered (嘀咕) in my mind.

“We still believe he can heal him,” she continued, as if she had heard what I was thinking.

I provided updates on his body. In a laundry list of updates, perhaps two things were positive. She thanked me for the information, repeating back the minor positive notes I had given.

I brcame kind of angry. And I wanted to sak, “Do you really not understand the gravity (严重性) of this illness?”

And then, yet again, as if she had heard me, she replied with this: A positive attitude gives us power over our circumstances, rather than allowing our circumstances to have power over us.

I was shocked. Here I was, judging her positive attitude as a fault. I completely disregarded the choice to believe in something more powerful than me, more healing than the doctors on our team. It wasn’t blind faith. It was strength and devotion.

When I came out of the room, tears welling in my eyes, I sat at my computer and looked

down at a small plate of candies she must have left for me on her way into the room. A hand

written note was laid above them: Kate, your devotion is so appreciated, S.

S, it is your devotion that I am appreciating today. Because of you, I am begging again to

believe in miracles.

1.The author is probably a ________.

A.nurse B.patient C.teacher D.mother

2.Before seeing the patient’s mother, the author thought that the patient ________.

A.would recover soon

B.had got much better

C.was going to die of cancer

D.might make a miraculous recovery

3.Why was the author angry with the patient’s mother?

A.Because of her optimism.

B.Because of her impoliteness.

C.Because she couldn’t stop crying.

D.Because she was always complaining.

4.Finally, the patient’s mother made the author become ________.

A.more patient B.more positive

C.more aggressive D.more sympathetic

请阅读下面短文,并按要求以Our Life Rests on Our Choice为题,用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

Life is a matter of choice. Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (具体的) things. But in fact, it means choosing a way of life. Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about.

Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease --- SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people remained optimistic. Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to color1 ful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood. And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean “SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING.” People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships.

Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境), we do have the right to choose to live optimistically, to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes.

Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.

【写作内容】

1. 用约30个单词写出上文的概要;

2. 用约120个词就“Our Life Rests on Our Choice” 谈谈你的看法和感受,内容包括:

(1)简要叙述你对“Our Life Rests on Our Choice”的理解;

(2)请举例说明你会选择怎样的人生态度;

(3)简要叙述你这样选择的理由。(至少2点)

2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。

内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。

Dear Headmaster,

I am writing to talk about the canteen of our school. There are only a few stand in the canteen, leading to lots of students have to line up for food. It is waste of time, isn’t it? But at times the food is not fresh and does not taste deliciously. So it’s not surprising that some students chose to go to the street to buy junk food which do harm to their health. Would you think about that how to improve it? I would appreciate you if you could take some measures. Hopefully, my opinion can be taken to account.

Growing mushrooms(蘑菇) is probably the easiest thing you can do if you are new to mushroom growing. Mushroom growing is becoming more and more common as restaurants are creating more dishes that include mushrooms.

Mushroom growing is easy. To start with you need to have a growing space where you are going to grow these mushrooms. It does not have to be too big enough for you to grow as many mushrooms as you need. When you have found the space that is perfect for you, you can start to research what kind of mushrooms you want to grow. There are hundreds of kinds to choose from but not all mushrooms are edible, which is an important fact you need to remember before you start. Don’t grow mushrooms you can’t use or sell.

When you figure out what kind of mushrooms you want to grow, you can make some preparations. Sometimes you need to hire some workers to help you if you have a large mushroom farm, or if you are trying to start a professional mushroom growing business. Trying to start a business by yourself can be stressful. If you don’t have time to take care of everything yourself, to hire a worker is the best bet.

After you have started the mushroom growing, you should regularly check and make sure that your mushrooms are growing properly and that they are not being attacked by any pesticides(杀虫剂) or any other animals that are potentially dangerous for them. That is the worst situation of mushroom growing. Protect your mushroom farm well with a fence or a gate so that only you and your workers can get in an out.

Mushroom growing is not difficult and is a really easy way to get started in the field of farming. You will possibly supply some of the great chefs(厨师) of the world with high-quality mushrooms that will be enjoyed by thousands of people around the world.

1. Many people are beginning to plant mushrooms probably because _______.

A. they are too common

C. there are more restaurants

It is fine day and I will never forget this special day. I was chosen to be a member of the football team and send to take part in the school football match. I was excited, but believed I would score the most. But in the first round I hurt my leg and couldn't help but to give up. I felt very sad. My best friend Tom comes up to me and said, “You are great! You still played for a few minute even after you leg hurt. You are a true winner.” I couldn't believe my ears. For me the one scoring the most is the winner. But Tom said, “The one which tries his best is the really winner.” Deeply impressing by his words, I want to say “Thank you” to him.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly,believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.Others say that competition is bad;that it sets one person against another;that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied (依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them,playing well and winning are often life and death affairs. In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success, the development, of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However,while some seem to be lost in die desire to succeed,others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players,they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people,I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying,they always have an excuse:“I may have lost,but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.”What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost,that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly,this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

1.What does this passage mainly talk about?

A. Opinions about competition are different among people.

B. Competition helps to set up self-respect.

C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.

2.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

A. It builds up a sense of duty.

B. It pushes society forward.

C. It improves personal abilities.

D. It encourages individual efforts.

3.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?

A. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.

B. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.

C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.

D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.

4.Which point of view may the author agree to?

A. Every effort should be paid back.

B. Competition should be paid back.

C. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

D. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Do you know what a big dream is? 1. Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.

The Self

Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego (自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. 2. Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.

3.

Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.

The World

If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 4. In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.

The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. 5.

A. Family and Friends

B. How Big Dreams Die

C. Does a big dream show one’s future?

D. They simply fail until they succeed.

E. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong

F. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.

G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.

So you think you know your dog. But how well does your dog know you? She probably recognizes you when she sees you. But can a dog tell by simply looking at you whether you have a happy or an angry expression on your face? Researchers in Austria have taught pet dogs to know the difference.

Dogs are very mindful of sound. When dog owners shout or speak in a strong, unkind voice, dogs often act ashamed and quietly move away from the area.

Recently, researchers found that dogs can look at our faces, and tell the difference between a smile and a frown(皱眉). The animals were able to recognize a look of praise from one of blame.

Researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna performed a series of experiments. They taught dogs to recognize facial expressions. They showed the dogs two pictures of either the upper or lower half of a person's face. On one picture, the person looked happy. The other appeared angry.

The dogs were then shown images of the eyes or mouths of people they had never seen before. They were also shown the left half of the faces used in training.

Corsin Muller led the study. “We were really speaking, do they realize that smiling eyes have the same meaning as a smiling mouth, or angry eyes have the same meaning as an angry mouth? And it turned out that they really did perform very well in these research experiments.”

Once the dogs learned to recognize which image was happy or angry, they could easily find the same expressions in pictures of any face.

Corsin Muller says future studies will try to show whether dogs can learn the meaning of facial expressions―for example, whether a frown shows that someone is angry.

In the experiments, researchers found the dogs were slower to link a reward, or prize, with recognition of the angry face. This suggested that dogs had an idea people with angry faces were best avoided.

1.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. How one can know his dog well.

B. How a dog can probably be well trained.

C. How a dog can tell one something.

D. How a dog can know one’s expressions.

2.Hearing its owner’s strong, unkind voice, a dog is likely to_________.

A. jump happily B. act excitedly

C. escape quietly D. shout loudly

3.A dog is able to recognize one’s __________.

A. praise B. blame

C. anger D. all of the above

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Dogs are as clever as human beings.

B. Dogs can understand man’s feelings.

C. Dogs can be trained to do everything.

D. Dogs can learn to make any angry face.
