    One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the   36 _, the couple went to the front desk hoping to  37 for the night.
    “Could you   38  give us a room here?” the husband asked.
    The clerk, a   39  man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and   40  that there were three conventions(大会) in town.
    “All of our   41  are taken,” the clerk said. “But I can’t send a   42  couple like you 43  into the rain at 1 o’clock in the morning. Would you please be   44  to sleep in my room? It’s not exactly a suite（套房）, but it will be good enough to make you  45  for the night.”
    The couple said no politely.
    “Don’t   46  me. It is just fine with me,” the clerk told them.
    As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, “You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel. Maybe someday I’ll build   47  for you.” The three of them had a good   48 .
    Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten it   49  he received a letter from the old man. It recalled(使回忆) that stormy night and contained a round-trip（双程的）   50  to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit. The old man met him in New York, and   51 him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street.
    He then pointed to a great new   52  there,  a palace of reddish stone. “That,” said the old man, “is the hotel I have just built for you to   53_ .”
    “You must be   54 ,” the young man said.

    A Tchaikovsky concerto（协奏曲）is what made Romel Joseph fall in love with the violin.
    He learned how to play in Haiti, where he was born, but a Fulbright scholarship brought him to the United States, and he finally earned a master’s degree, reports CBS News reporter Katie Couric. Music had changed his life. He wanted to do the same for the children of Haiti.
    Joseph built a school in Port-au-Prince nearly 20 years ago. He was on the third floor when suddenly “It was like boom boom boom and everything just opened,” Joseph said. “And the next thing I knew I was on the ground.”
    Blind since birth, Joseph tried to feel his way out, but was pinned（夹）beneath heavy concrete（混凝土）. He remained trapped for 18 hours. He prays that his new wife, seven months pregnant（怀孕的）, will be found.
    He is now being treated at Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital for two injured legs and an arm.
    Joseph wonders if he’ll ever play the violin again. He can feel sensation（知觉）in his fingertips. He said, “If you were to give me a violin and if I didn’t have to fold the fingers, I would be able to play.”
    Joseph’s daughter Victoria spent three terrifying days unsure of her father’s fate. For her, having him home is the sweetest music.
    “Can you imagine your dad not being able to play the violin?” Couric asked.
    “No, I can’t,” Victoria Joseph said. “But I will love him all the same if he can’t.”
    Romel doesn’t know how many of his 300 students died in the quake. As he waits for news about his wife, Romel Joseph is already planning a return to Haiti to rebuild the school and continue teaching there.
    “We can save two children, 20, 200, 300, 500 through education and music, and these children will make a difference,” Romel Joseph said.
    小题1: Romel began to like music ________.

    C．when he got a scholarship to study in America
    D．since he was born in Haiti

    A．to see her father recover from the injury quickly
    B．to listen to her father playing the sweetest music
    C．to play the violin as well as her father
    D．to be sure that her father could play the violin
    小题4:Why does Romel want to go back to Haiti?
    A．To save his students from the earthquake.
    B．To change the life of children by teaching music.
    C．To find out how seriously his school was damaged.
    D．To look for his wife who is pregnant.
    小题5: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

    A great French writer said that we should help everyone as much as possible because we often need help ourselves. The small even can help the great. To this effect, he tells a simple story. 
    An ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. She tried hard to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant, almost tired out, was still bravely doing her best when a bird saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade (叶片) of grass, which supported her like a boat, and thus she reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass she heard a man coming near. He was walking along barefooted and carrying a gun in his hand. As he saw the bird he wished to kill her, and he would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just before he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the bird immediately flew away. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than herself that had saved her life. 
    小题1: According to the French writer, we often need help from others, therefore we should________. 
    A．not help others B．help those who may be helpful to us
    C．get as much help as possibleD．help others as much as we can
    小题2:The ant finally got on the bank _______.  
    A．when the water pushed herB．with the help of a piece of wood
    C．with the help of a blade of grass D．when the bird reached out a leg for her
    小题3:The French writer tells the story in order to show _______.  
    A．how an ant saved a bird B．how brave the ant is
    C．how clever the bird isD．even the small can help the great

    If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
    If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means —practice.
    Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who can’t read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.
    So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practice remembering.
    小题1: According to the passage, few people know that _____.
    A．arms or legs become weak if they are not used for some time
    B．when they start using their arms or legs again, they slowly become strong again
    C．a person’s memory becomes weak if he does not practice remembering things
    D．it is their own fault if their arms or legs are weak
    小题2:The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, ____.
    A．it is his own faultB．his parents are to blame
    C．he is just unluckyD．his arms must be weak
    小题3: According to the passage, we learn that all of us can ____.
    A．become very strongB．become very clever
    C．improve our memory by practicingD．know how to improve our memory
