    Early this morning, I got up to make cookies for my neighbor. But actually she hardly greeted me when we saw each other.
    Last Monday, she called the firefighters when my house began to fog up while I was out. Luckily, nothing serious had happened. When I thanked her and apologized for causing the trouble, she just asked if my cats were all right and stepped into her house. I felt strangely safe, knowing that even though we don’t get along, she’d done the right thing. So, the yummy cookies.
    Last winter, my neighbor carelessly let it out that she was holding a grudge towards me because of an incident we’d had four years ago. I had particularly apologized and asked if there was anything I could do to improve our relationship. She would not accept my apology.
    It had taken me a lot of courage to apologize and ask that question. Her refusal to make amends (补偿) really saddened me. After that, I decided I’d just leave her be. So I was really scared she was going to refuse my offer again. I know some people have a hard time understanding how the possibility of rejection can make an adult so afraid, but that’s just the way I felt.
    Then, I reminded myself of how good I had felt yesterday when I’d done some acts of kindness after telling myself: Feel the fear, and do it anyway! So I put the cookies on a beautiful plate, opened my apartment door—and there she was, standing in the hallway. But when she saw me, she went back inside. I went after her and quickly said, “I’m sorry, I’ve got something for you! I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you were paying attention on Monday.” When she heard me speaking, she turned around. As I held the plate towards her, her eyebrows winged up and she took the plate. I was so happy and excited.
    Back in my place, I did a “happy dance”, because I had dared to be kind even though I hadn’t been sure my kindness would be welcome. I do hope that our relationship will slowly get better. I know I was and still am biased (存有偏见) towards her at times, but even if we don’t make amends, I want to be able to be kind without depending on other people’s behaviors and reactions.
    小题1:The neighbor hardly greeted the writer most probably because ______.
    A．the writer’s cats disturb her neighbor frequently
    B．the writer didn’t thank her for calling the firefighters
    C．the writer never apologized to her for her misbehaviors

    小题2:The underlined word “grudge” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.

    A．was afraid of being rejected again by her neighbor
    B．didn’t know how to get along with her neighbor
    C．didn’t admit it was her fault in the last incident
    D．refused to forgive her neighbor’s rude behavior
    小题4:What does the author try to tell us?
    A．Don’t punish yourself because of others’ mistakes.
    B．We should be kind to others, regardless of their behavior.
    C．We must keep a good relationship with our neighbors.
    D．When we make a mistake, we should have the courage to admit it.

    When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage（孤儿院）and taught us how to do woodworking projects.
    I remember my first project—a small table. I was so      of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an)     . It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to      it.

    As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so      and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a     , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
    When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was      it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand      it, she noticed that it was still wet.
    “Were you      to bring this home?” she asked.
    “No, ma’am,” I      with my head down.
    She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was      stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.
    I hid the table in my closet and never      it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent（宿管员）, thinking that she would      it away.

As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her      to get something important. I followed her      into a dark corner.

    On a number of drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.
    Though Mother’s Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.
    Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders(给食器) out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden.
    I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.
    I am slowing down and it isn’t because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.
    Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to share with my mom.
    小题1:. Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother’s Day?
    A．Because Mother’s Day falls shortly after Earth Day.
    B．To stress that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.
    C．To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.
    D．Because her mother shows her how to be friendly to nature on Mother’s Day.
    小题2:. Which of the following is NOT related to Mom’s “green life”?
    A．Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy.
    B．Saving glass jars, empty cheese containers.
    C．Setting a caught spider free in the garden
    D．Picking dandelions on busy streets.
    小题3:. We can infer from the article that ______.
    A．the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as well
    B．the author’s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard
    C．the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy life
    D．the author’s mother used to lecture her to protect the environment.
    小题4:. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
    A．Tomatoes make the author think of her mother.
    B．The author likes eating tomatoes planted by herself.
    C．Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.
    D．The author really appreciates her mother’s teaching.
    小题5:. The writer’s attitude towards her mom’s behavior changed in the order of ______.
    A．understanding — critical — approving
    B．approving — doubtful — negative
    C．negative — understanding — approving
    D．doubtful— critical— positive

    Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure(奇遇)？Riding the train can be a real adventure.That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak.I often take a four--hour trip to visit my children.Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.
    Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride，there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation－in another language.It was  loud and disturbed most of the people on the train.I think it was annoying.
    Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two--day trip by train.She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home，although she had no trouble driving.The train ride was the only choice for her.She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.
    She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents.That is a very good question.Both of us are old and have children.She asked that same question from time to time.
    There are always many people on the train from all walks of life，different countries，and many  languages.Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of  cultures.If you get hungry，you can buy food in the food car at any time.If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.

    I have known this kind of thought-communication with the animal with whom I’ve lived. When Elsa died, I woke in the night, knowing what had happened, even though I was several miles away. The same thing     10   later with one of Pippa’s cubs.
    I don’t     11   this sensitivity with my own kind. Feel far more in tune with what is going on when I am in the bush than when I am in London on Nairobi. We don’t know much yet about this telepathy from which gland（腺体） it comes, or how it    12  . But if men could awaken or    13   it in themselves, and then cooperate by trusting each other,    14    fearing and treating one another    15  , the world would be a far better place.
