“I must try it on Mother!” she cried, as she ran   37 .Three minutes later Enid's cries brought her   38 up.The dress was much   39   for her. It was like a bag in the front, and the neckline looked all  40  . Enid was in   41 .
“Take it back to the dressmaker's,” Mrs Bale said.“She must   42  it tonight. Hurry now. Take it off and go.” The dressmaker's shop was closed.“Closed for One Week's Holiday,” said a   43 on the door. Fresh tears rose to Enid's eyes. She ran home again to her mother.
“This is unlucky,”Mrs Bale said.” But what are we going to do? 44  I ask Mrs. Peters to help? She was a dressmaker once. I'm sure she could change it for you.” Mrs. Peters was   45 in and began to work. She could see  46 was wrong. She had to   47 it narrower at the front, and that was a big job. Then she changed the neckline. In fact she made it again. At ten o'clock the work was finished, and Enid tried the dress on. It fitted her beautifully.
The three women were having a cup of tea   48  the doorbell rang .Mrs. Bale answered it and   49­­  into the worried eyes of a   50  woman. The woman was carrying a large flat   51 .“Does Miss Enid Bale   52  here?" she asked breathlessly. “Yes, she's my daughter.” “Oh, I am   53  I've found you! There's been a  54  .Your daughter has my wedding dress, and I've got   55  . And I'm getting married tomorrow!” She held out the box to Mrs. Bale.

When looking back at the scary situation that happened to him on Saturday, Patrick Canney said he couldn’t still believe that it was true. It was a situation that could have ended with a tragedy for Patrick, his father and his sister. But it didn’t really happen thanks to Patrick.
That morning, Patrick’s father was driving down busy Interstate 95 in Peabody, Massachusetts. The car started going really slowly, which seized Patrick’s attention. And then he realized that something was wrong. At that point, Patrick found his father was having a seizure (中风).
“It was really scary,” he said. “It was unlike anything that had ever really happened to me.” But Patrick didn’t act scared. He took control of the situation and got behind the wheel of the SUV. He turned the key off and pulled the car over to the breakdown lane (车道). He then stopped the SUV, grabbed a cell phone out of his dad’s pocket and called 911 for help.
Patrick’s 9-year-old sister was in the SUV, too. He told his little sister not to worry about it. Then he opened the door and stood right next to the guard rail. Thanks to Patrick’s description of their location during the 911 call, Massachusetts State Police were able to locate the Canneys within minutes -- and get them all to safety.
“A 12-year-old boy’s clear thinking and decisive action actually saved this family from a tragedy,” said state police spokesman David. “That’s Patrick. He is cool and collected. I couldn’t imagine what would be the result if he were panicked (惊慌失措).”
Patrick’s father was expected to recover fully from the seizure. And thanks to Patrick, all of the Canneys are still alive. “The word hero may be overused in our society,” said David. “But Patrick is surely that -- and then some.”
小题1:As soon as he found his father had a seizure, Patrick ________.
A.told his sister not to worryB.called the police for help at once
C.tried his best to save his fatherD.managed to take control of the car
小题2:The underlined word “collected” in Paragraph 5 means “_________”.

小题3:What did David think of Patrick?
A.Patrick should learn from real heroes in society.
B.Patrick was a cool boy who matched the word hero.
C.Patrick should be rewarded for his behavior.
D.Patrick should protect his family carefully in the future.
小题4:Which of the-following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

C.A kid learned how to become a hero by using his wisdom.

One of the best-known American writers of children’s books is Alfred Strong, or Doctor Strong, as he is better known to readers everywhere. Now, an art show called “Doctor Strong From Then to Now” is travelling around the United States. The pictures and drawings show the history of Doctor Strong.
Doctor Strong first became famous almost fifty years ago when his first children’s book was published. Since then, he has written forty-five books that have sold more than one hundred million copies around the world.

The drug store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop-assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr, the boss, stared at him and said: “Hold on, Alfred. Maybe you'd be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go.”Alfred's face got red. After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I'm going to have to put you in prison.”
Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. “Hello, I'm Alfred's mother. Is he in trouble?”she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfred's mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty…. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying. “Of course”, he said, “I don't want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads.”And he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins's hand.
Back home, without even looking at Alfred, she said, “You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mother's strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what he saw. His mother's face was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. He watched his mother without making a sound. The picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth coming to an end. He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.
小题1:The reason why Mr. Carr felt guilty was that ________.
A.he found Alfred was in fact innocent
B.he should have called a policeman in first
C.Alfred's mother appeared polite and gentle
D.he thought he was partly responsible for it
小题2:Which of the following is probably said by Mrs. Higgins while talking to Mr. Carr?
A.“Please, for God's sake, you know, he is just a kid.”
B.“I can't believe it! You are treating my son like that!”
C.“You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow up.”
D.“Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law.”
小题3:What does the underlined phrase "his mother's strength"(Para. 3) refer to?
A.Mrs. Higgins's calmness and communicating skills.
B.Mrs. Higgins's attitude towards parental sufferings.
C.Mrs. Higgins's love and care for her son Alfred.
D.Mrs. Higgins's greatness as a woman.
小题4:After the incident, young Alfred would probably ________.
A.feel ashamed of her mother
B.change his attitudes towards life
C.learn to live an independent life
D.hate Mr. Carr for hurting her mother

For many writers, writing stories or plays is a part-time job: to support themselves they take on other jobs, such as teaching. It is one sign of August Wilson’s success that for many years he has been able to make a living only by writing plays.
Wilson was born in Pittsburgh and dropped out of school in the ninth grade. He was a good reader, however, and continued his education by reading library books, learning about black nationalist movements of the time, and closely observing(观察) the lives of the poor people.
In the late 1960’s Wilson set up a theater company called Black Horizons and began to think of ways to describe African-American life on the stage. He had the idea of a cycle of plays, each of which was set in a different decade(十年) of the 20th century, showing how African-American life has developed.
The first successful play of this series was Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom about black musicians in Chicago in the 1920s, who are not accepted by white society. Other plays in the series include Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, about blacks in the 1910s who had moved north to Pittsburgh in search of a new identity; Fences, which focuses on a father–son conflict(冲突) in the1950s; and The Piano Lesson, about a 1930s family that was uncertain about whether to sell the family’s treasure. For the last two of these plays Wilson was awarded Pulitzer Prizes.
Wilson has written eight plays in his cycle, the most recent being King Hedley the Second, a play set in the 1980s. His plays are enjoyed by both the blacks and the whites and engage anyone who is interested in African-American experience.
小题1:Wilson won Pulitzer Prizes for ________.
A.The Piano Lesson & Fences
B. Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom & Fences
C.The Piano Lesson & King Hedley the Second
D.King Hedley the Second & Joe Turner’s Come and Gone
小题2: It is possible that in his series of the 20th –century plays, Wilson plans to write ________.
A.no moreB.two more C.three moreD.four more
小题3:The underlined word “engage” in the last paragraph means ________.
A.award B.benefitC.pleaseD.attract
小题4:What’s the passage mainly about?
A.The life of August Wilson.B.The growth of August Wilson.
C.A cycle of plays of August Wilson.D.August Wilson’s theater company.

Tom was a poor boy. He made a living by cleaning leather shoes for others in the street. Tom was also a clever boy.
One day, a very rich man with the name Miser appeared in front of Tom. He watched his dirty shoes for a while, and then looked at Tom. Tom knew this kind of people well: they love money very much and hate to spend it.
Tom said, “Let me clean your shoes, sir.”
“For nothing?” the rich man asked.
“Only two pence, sir.”
Mr Miser shook his head and walked away.
