    I never got along with Dad. But when he was dying. I set off for Nebraska to be with him and my family. I stopped for the night at a hotel with a pool, hoping it would relax me.
    The pool area was empty as I walked into the still water. A man in a bathing suit appeared. He sat on the edge of the pool with his legs moving up and down in the water. He had dark hair and deep brown eyes and smiled. “Where are you going?” he asked. When I told him about my father, he asked how we got along. I tried to change the subject, but then for some reason, I told him everything.
    Finally the man said, “Even with all the trouble, remember, your father still loves you.” All at once, warm and clear childhood memories came flooding back: Dad running alongside my wobbling（摇摆的）bicycle, the proud hug he gave me at my high school graduation, his laugh when I caught him off guard with a tickle（挠痒）. “Yes, I know he does, ” I heard myself say. And for the first time in years I believed it. The man left, leaving me alone with my comforting thoughts.
    Back in my room, as I went to bed, I decided it was time to forgive my father. Then I wished he’d forgive me too. The phone bell woke me up at 3 am. My sister’s voice sent a shiver（寒战）through me: Dad had just died. I had wanted to see him and make peace. But as sadness was beginning to surround me, I remembered that the man by the pool had already brought Dad and me together.

    There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells meat and other basic necessities. About 10 years ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a        . The owner,       he would love to help, simply didn't have any jobs available, so he kept       the man's request.
    This situation continued         for a few months, until the owner         to give the homeless man a job which        sweeping outside the shop. Every single day from 5 am, the homeless man was there doing the very        he could for the        , and it did earn him some pennies.        , the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working        a cashier(出纳、收银员). He was watched closely to make sure that he didn't        any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless,       . The homeless man did a/an        job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was asked to         the finances(财政、金融) for the whole shop.
    Two years later, the owner        . In his will, he only had one         , to give the whole shop to the "homeless" man. Now, I could walk into that shop and see him working as hard as      , with his own business that is still       and active 10 years after getting his job as a sweeper.

    Chuck，unlike other frogs，didn't like catching flies himself. But he did love eating them.

    Some frogs thought Chuck was lazy. Some believed he must think he was too good for them. Some thought Chuck was the strangest frog ever.
    That didn't matter to Chuck. Each morning，Chuck jumped over and sat under the spider's web. Then when Lady Eightlegs went off to dip (浸) her feet in the pond，Chuck ate flies from her web.
    One morning while Chuck was enjoying his fly breakfast，Lady Eightlegs returned and caught him.
    “You're the one who keeps eating my flies！”she cried.
    Chuck jumped away and into the pond. Now there was an idea！Why not spin (结) his own web?
    He collected some vines (葡萄藤) from a nearby farm. Then he began to spin his web. He worked on his web for hours，until very late at night. And then he fell asleep.
    When he woke up the next morning，he found that he got caught by the vines.
    “Help！”he shouted.
    Lady Eightlegs looked up from the edge of the pond. She hurried up to help Chuck out of the vine web.
    “No matter how hard I try，I can't spin a spider's web，”Chuck said.
    “Of course not，”Lady Eightlegs said. “You're a frog. Frogs can't spin spider's webs any better than spiders can swim，I guess.”
    “But I always see you in the water，”Chuck said.
    “I only wade in (蹚水) up to my knees，”Lady Eightlegs sighed. “How wonderful it would be to swim in the middle of the pond and float (漂浮) peacefully under the sun.”
    Chuck smiled，“I have an idea.”
    From that day forward，Chuck carried Lady Eightlegs out to the middle of the pond，where they floated and played together. When they returned to land，they shared a breakfast of flies from her spider's web.
    It wasn't exactly an ordinary friendship. But Chuck was not an ordinary frog.
    小题1:The second paragraph is written to show that Chuck ______.
    A．was different from other frogsB．didn't get along well with other frogs
    C．led a lonely lifeD．was a proud frog
    小题2:What do we know about Chuck's web?
    A．Lady Eightlegs helped Chuck spin it.B．It was successfully spun by Chuck.
    C．It was spun far from the pond.D．Chuck failed to spin it himself.
    小题3:It can be inferred from the text that ______.
    A．Chuck had tried to catch Lady EightlegsB．Chuck had difficulty collecting vines
    C．Lady Eightlegs was very wiseD．Lady Eightlegs swam well
    小题4:What was Lady Eightlegs' attitude towards Chuck in the end?
    A．Worried.B．Friendly.C．Doubtful. D．Cold.

    The centenary（百年）of the birth of William Faulkner, one of the great modern novelists, was celebrated in September 1997. Faulkner wrote about the southern states of the United States of America where he grew up, and where his family had an important part to play in the history of that region. His work became a touchstone for insights into the troubled issues of southern American identity, race relations, and the family interrelationships of the old time southern gentry(贵族).
    Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi on September 25, 1897. Despite his interest in writing, he left Oxford High School, Mississippi, without graduating. After World War I, he entered the University of Mississippi as a special student, a right to study which was granted to retired soldiers, although Faulkner had only finished training with the Air Force in Canada, and not entered combat(战斗).
    Faulkner began to write poems, a verse play, short stories and finished his first novel Sartoris in 1928. His fiction was centered for 14 of the 19 novels published during his lifetime in a fictional region called Yoknapatawpha County. The name is said to come from the Indian Chickasaw word meaning split land.
    In December 1950, Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. When he accepted it in Stockholm, his speech emphasized that he wished to continue writing, but in a positive way that affirmed the power of humanity to prevail over adverse circumstances. As he said in his speech, he still felt that, despite the threat of nuclear war then hanging over the world, the central concern of the writer should be “the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself”. He wanted the tensions and problems that he had cast the spotlight on in the southern states of America to be resolved by the life-affirming attitudes and action of his characters. Like playwright Tennessee Williams, Faulkner was a major voice who spoke for the troubled heart of the southern states of America. His achievement is all the more remarkable because, as a schoolboy, he was not only a frequent absentee but also reportedly failed to reach pass grades in English class. His collected short stories, novels, poems, and other writings form a legacy( 遗产) of literature which casts profound illumination(启发) on the special culture of the South, a culture which developed from a history and social circumstances that were always unique.
    From the focus on a fictional county, and by remaining true to his view of a close-knit but real society that reflected the greater world around him, Faulkner in the end fashioned a legend of the Deep South that is one of the major achievements of the 20th century literature.
    小题1:Which of the following statements about William Faulkner is NOT true？
    A．William Faulkner’s work focuses on several troubled problems of southern America.
    B．William Faulkner died one hundred years ago.
    C．Although William Faulkner did not graduate from high school, he had great interests in writing.
    D．William Faulkner once took part in the army when he was young.
    小题2:Why did William Faulkner write about the southern states of America?
    A．They were the place where he grew up and his family took an important role in the history of that region.
    B．His work became a touchstone.
    C．He cared about the troubled issues of southern America.
    D．He felt sympathy for the poor in southern America.
    小题3:Which of the following statements about Tennessee William is true?
    A．Both Tennessee William and William Faulkner are playwrights.
    B．Tennessee William was a major voice who spoke for the troubled people in southern America.
    C．Like Faulkner, he once won Nobel Prize for literature.
    D．Tennessee William had to pursue his writing career through difficult times.
    小题4:What was William Faulkner’s attitude toward the troubled issues of southern America?
    A．He reflected them by writing and criticized them.
    B．He intended to call on the troubled people to rebel.
    C．The troubled issues of southern America just provided many elements for his novels.
    D．He advocated resolving them in positive attitudes and actions.

    A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package: What food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!
    Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house.”
    The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it.”
    The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mouse trap in the house.” “I am so sorry, Mr Mouse,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers.”
    The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, “A mouse trap, am I in grave danger, huh?”
    So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depressed to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone.
    That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knew to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. His wife’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.
    So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.
    小题1:We may infer that the passage is most probably a ______.
    A．fairy tale (神话)B．Fable (寓言)C．science fictionD．news report
    小题2:We could see from the passage that the mouse was ______.
    A．kind and warm-heartedB．well-informed
    C．good at cheating othersD．foolish and rude
    小题3: The underlined word “ingredient” (Paragraph 7) refers to ______.
    A．the mouseB．the pigC．the snakeD．the chicken
    小题4:What can we learn from the story?
    A．Better safe than sorry.
    B．Traps are usually well disguised.
    C．To help others is just to save you.
    D．To keep the balance of nature is the duty of us all.

    Years ago, I worked at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped,        by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was        that they could, at any time, break free,       strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the       for this.
    He said, “When they were very young we used the       size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can       hold them, so they never try.”
    Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you       once before? Do you often tell       “I cannot dance” or “I’m not good at math”?
    These are       of self limiting beliefs. You must realize you’re       for them. A limiting belief that says you’re poor at math may have       as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which       you. The cool thing is that because you create the       you can choose to change it! Here is how:
    First,       it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your      , your subconsciousness will make this      by driving you to act. That might be to take a math course or to go online       help, etc. Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are      .
    This is such a simple process that you can       it today. Don’t be like the poor elephant and make your life       at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.
