She also replied with a long,          face but her answer was a little different as she announced . " I didn't learn to       today."
What a disappointment for a little girl who thought she would       know how to read her little books after the first day of school. I had to explain to her that she would        learn to read but didn't happen quite that fast.
My        went back to my school days again I could almost         the chalk dust in the air. I suppose few schools still use chalk and blackboards. They have probably been         with newer equipment and large computer screens
On the first day of school, the expectation was s0      that I would be up early in the morning and         long before it was time to leave for school We .       about 6 blocks to school         new shoes that felt tight and carried our small supplies inside a cigar box from one of the local stores. The stores must have saved cigar boxes just to give to us children .We        them from year to year until they fell apart.
The first day of school was a new beginning, although there might be       on the first day. The doors of knowledge had been opened and we     great learning adventures. It is an    in our lives that most of us remember. It's a big step for a small child toward leaving babyhood and so "there isn't enough time to play".

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.

Like most Oregonians, Stephanie McRae was used to driving in bad weather. Although rain still beat the window of her car, the worst of the day’s storm seemed to have passed as she drove her 11-year-old daughter, Maggie, home from a church at 8:30 p.m. Two little children sat into their car seats in back.
When crossing over Fawcett Creek (小河), McRae found the road just ahead had been washed away. The storm had turned Fawcett Creek into a 100-feet-wide river. Water began to go into the car and the four of them had to climb onto the car’s roof. The car was floating about and was being swept toward the Tillamook River only a few miles ahead. Suddenly it stopped when hitting a logjam (浮木阻塞).The water swept over them, rising higher and higher. Stephanie screamed into the rainy night, almost crying.
“Mom, I have to go and get help,” her 11-year-old daughter Maggie cried.
Stephanie realized if she went by herself, Maggie couldn’t hold on to the other two babies. But Maggie was still recovering from foot surgery. How could she manage? Finally she shouted, “I’m proud of you. Be careful!”
As Maggie McRae struggled to reach the shore, she was all wet. The sixth grader started running to the nearest house. Inside, the neighbors immediately called 911 and were told that firefighters were making their way toward another trapped car. Maggie joined the neighbors, and helped the rescue team point out where her mother was. The firefighters saved McRae and her children by using a 35-foot-long ladder.
When Stephanie reached land in safety, Maggie raced into her mother’s arms. “She hugged me for five minutes,” Maggie remembers. Maggie accepted an award for her heroism, but she’s happier to get back to her sports team and her family.
小题1:What can we infer from the passage?

A．Without the logjam, McRae’s car would have been swept into the Tillamook River.

B．The rain became heavier when McRae drove home.

C．McRae’s car was the only vehicle that was blocked in the Fawcett Creek that night.

小题2:Stephanie McRae’s screaming on the car’s roof suggested that she felt ______.

小题4:Which of the following is in the correct order of events?
①Firefighters rescued McRae and her children from the river.
②Firefighters were sent to the broken road.
③The neighbors Maggie found called 911.
④The rescue team had got informed of the trouble at Fawcett Creek.
⑤Another trapped car was found in the river by the firefighters.

A．④②③⑤①

B．④③②①⑤

C．③④②①⑤

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!!

Night after night, she came to tuck me in (给…掖被子), even long after my childhood years. Following her long-standing custom, she’d        and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.
I don’t remember when it first started        me----her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me,       they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin.        , one night, I shouted at her, “Don’t do that anymore ----your hands are too       !” She didn’t say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that        expression of her love.
Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts        to that night. By then I missed my mother’s         , missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead. Sometimes the incident        very close, sometimes far away. But always it existed in the back of my        .
Well, many years have passed, but mother’s rough hands are still doing things for me and my family. She’s been our doctor,        into a medicine cupboard for the medicine to         us children of our pain. She makes the best food in the world and always keeps our clothes clean.
Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special        , I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand        ran across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently,        my forehead.
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I        the night my young voice        , “Don't’ do that anymore----your hands are too rough!”        Mom’s hand in my hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she’d remember, as I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten ---and       ---long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the        that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

One day an ant was drinking at a small stream and fell in. She made desperate efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost exhausted was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her.Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it.

I remember my mother as a strong woman. She came to America when she was 12—old enough to remember her language, she achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University. With a degree in computer science, she finally became the manager of a company in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches, say “wolves” correctly.
It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language. From the time I was born, I was read to. I would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents’ voices, whether it was my dad’s softly accented, or my mother’s clear English. The flow of language was unbroken, and whether in Chinese or English, the stream of communication flowed through our house.
One October morning in sixth grade, after my mother had left to catch the train to the city, I left the house for the bus stop. I was surprised when I saw our car, the door hanging open. As I drew closer, I saw my mother lying on the ground.
In the hospital, it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mom. My mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colors, it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mother’s mind and mouth: her mind was not any less clear, but the words she spoke were not what she meant.
The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language. Without it, identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given, and knowing anything about anyone is impossible. Without language, communication cannot take place. Without language, one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.
