I put a package of small gold colored foil (金箔) angels in my purse after my illness. The package was 1 and the angels fell out into my purse.
On the way home, I was at the store 2 for something and change was 3. I dug in, got the change and gave it to the 4. I didn’t realize there were also angels sticking (粘) to the 5! Well, she said, “Oh, angels for 6! Thank you! Come back and see me anytime!”
This 7 several times that day, with almost the same reaction at 8 places, with different people. So now I keep the angels in there and 9 dispense (分发) them with the change.
This little 10 has led to some interesting conversations --- for example, when I did go back to the same 11 where the lady received the 12 angles, she told me how much she 13 them and kept them by her bed.
She then told me, “I was 14 as a child, I couldn’t walk or talk. My grandparents told me that if I didn’t 15 I would be healed because the angel was 16 me. I started praying, and within a year I was totally healed! I’m so 17 for this healing!”
She also told me that the first time she 18me, she thought I was an angel! I then gave her some more angels, and 19 she acted like I had given her a million dollars!
What a lovely 20!
I plan on always keeping the little gold angels in my purse and dispensing them everywhere. When I do, I don’t say anything --- I just give them with the change.

  When 70-year-old Bernie Meyers of Wilmette, Ill, died suddenly a cancer, his eight-year-old granddaughter Sarah Meyers didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to him.For weeks Sarah said little about what she was feeling.But then one day she came home from a friend’s birthday party with a bright helium balloon(氦气球).“She went into the house,”her mother recalls,“and came out carrying the balloon and an envelope addressed to ‘Grandpa Bernie, in Heaven Up High.’”

  The envelope contained a letter in which Sarah told her grandfather that she loved him and hoped somehow he could hear her.Sarah wrote her return address on the envelope, tried the envelope to the balloon and let it go.“The balloon seemed so fragile,”her mother remembers.“I didn’t think it would make it pass the trees.But it did.”

  Two months passed.Then one day a letter arrived addressed to“Sarah Meyers’ Family”and bearing(盖有)a York, Pa(宾州)post mark.

  “Dear Sarah, family & friends,

  Your letter to Grandpa Bernie Meyers safely reached the address and was read by him.I understand they can’t keep material things up there, so it drifted back to Earth.Those who live in Heaven just keep thoughts, memories, love and things like that.Sarah, whenever you think about your grandpa, he know and is very close by with love.

  A new law is leading to debate in Wisconsin.The state recently lowered its minimum(最小的)hunting age.Under the new plan, children as young as 10 may hunt with an adult.Each pair can have only one gun or bow, and the adult and child must stay within arm's reach of each other at all times.

  Some say the new plan is on target.They believe that teaching more kids how to hunt will protect Wisconsin's traditions.Hunting is a way of life for many residents in the state.However, other people say giving kids control of weapons is asking for trouble.They worry that someone will get hurt.

  Should kids be allowed to hunt? Student reporters Michael Tobin and Emily Jue express their opinions about the issue.

  Yes.Hunting is a valuable skill for kids to learn.

  I think children under the age of l2 should be able to hunt because hunting can be a very useful skill.If you were stranded(陷于困境的)in the wild with nothing but a gun, you would have a better chance of survival if you knew how to use it.

  The law makes sure that kids learn with an adult present.Having an experienced hunter that you know teaching you is extremely valuable.Paul Huchette, a retired businessperson from Latrobe, Pa., agrees.“Kids under the age of l2 should be able to hunt under the supervision(监管)of a parent,” Huchette says.

  Michacl Tobin, Oregon

  No.Hunting is dangerous for young children.

  I believe that children should not be allowed to hunt.Placing a gun in a child's hand isn't safe and could result in unthinkable consequences.You are teaching young children to get joy through killing and by watching animals suffer.They can also use their guns at the wrong time for the wrong reasons.

  Also, children aren't physically mature enough.They can easily miss their targets and hurt themselves or others.How would you feel if a bullet came whizzing(飞驰而过)by your house?

  “Teaching young children a sport that involves killing an animal isn't very wise,” says Lily Cao, a fifth grader from Houston, Texas.

  Emily Jue, Texas

(1)

We can learn from Para.2 that by lowering its hunting age, Wisconsin is likely to ________

[  ]

A.

protect the state's hunting traditions

B.

stop l0-year-olds from hunting

C.

put more animals in danger

D.

take stricter control of weapons

(2)

How does Michael Tobin feel about the state's new law?

[  ]

A.

Inspired.

B.

Embarrassed.

C.

Upset.

D.

Doubtful.

(3)

Which of the following statements agrees with Emily Jue's view?

[  ]

A.

Children should be allowed to hunt together with parents.

B.

Many young children are not aware how to use guns properly.

C.

Parents should be patient while teaching children to hunt.

D.

Children are usually confused about what animals should be protected.

(4)

author writes this passage to ________

[  ]

A.

introduce Wisconsin's new law

B.

tell how to teach kids hunting

C.

discuss the consequences of using a gun

D.

argue whether kids should be allowed to hunt

科目:高中英语 来源:2012届浙江省名校新高考研究联盟高三第二次联考英语试卷(带解析) 题型:阅读理解

My father is a smart man. He spent many years of his life listening to people’s arguments, first as assistant district lawyer and then as a judge. My dad knows rubbish rhetoric when he hears it.
One of his favorite phrases is: “If you don’t have anything smart to say, then don’t say it at all.” Yet, for all of his legal training and life experience, he can’t help but keep talking about the Mega Millions jackpot.
We all know the odds(几率)of winning the jackpot this evening with one ticket are extraordinarily low ... 1 in 175, 711, 536, to be exact. Still, people go out and buy hundreds of tickets with the hopes of becoming wealthier beyond their dreams. Why? There are two possible explanations for this “irrationality”(不理智).
One idea is that the way we calculate odds in our heads has nothing to do with mathematical odds in the traditional sense. We don’t go to the mathematical odds table and say, “Well, this would be a terrible investment. I think I’m better off putting my money in the bank!” Rather, it has everything with the ability to picture an event happening.
My father, for instance, watches the news every night and sees people winning the lottery(彩票). Therefore, he thinks the chance of him winning the lottery is much higher than they actually are.
The second thought is that the expected effect of playing cannot be represented merely by the odds. My father and, I’m sure, others get a thrill from the mere idea of winning. He loves imagining what it would be like to actually win and losing doesn’t really affect him. Sure, he’s disappointed, but it’s “better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” When you combine the utility of thinking you can win with the utility of actually winning (no matter how small the chance of that occurring), it’s worth it for many people to spend the one dollar on a ticket.
My analysis is that both factors are at play in taking a chance on the lottery. My father and others really do underestimate the odds of winning, but the thrill of participation is not denied by a realistic assessment of the odds. Still, I would probably put my finger on the scale for the first explanation.
All told, a review of the odds of other events happening confirms that there just aren’t many events that occur with less frequency than your winning the Mega Millions jackpot. Look at the graph below, you may understand some:

In many ways, it’s like the lottery, something that features often on television and about which people fantasize, but that rarely happens.
So, when you watch, along with my Pa, to see if your lucky number is drawn this evening, keep in mind three things: that your number almost certainly won’t come up; that you are still going to have fun; and that, finally, a lot of other things are more likely to happen—but getting eaten by a shark isn’t one of them.
【小题1】It can be learned from the article that ________.

A.the Mega Millions jackpot is the last lottery to win in the world
B.a judge in that country can’t talk about lottery because it is illegal
C.the writer doesn’t buy lottery, for he never hopes to become rich
D.In spite of little possibility, a lot of people spend money on lottery
【小题2】The function of the graph is to ________.
A.show chances that those things take place are fewer
B.support the writer’s arguments on the lottery tickets
C.indicate no one can win the Mega Millions jackpot
D.say shark attack death will seldom happen this year
【小题3】Which of the following do you think the writer would probably agree with?
A.If one has mathematical odds, he can win the prize more easily.
B.Only those who have irrationality buy hundreds of lottery tickets.
C.The Mega Millions jackpot is very popular in the writer’s country.
D.Winning lottery is a shortcut to achieve the dream of being rich.
【小题4】The underlined phrase “at play” in the 7th paragraph most probably means ________.
A.effectiveB.ridiculousC.contradictoryD.astonishing
【小题5】What do you think is the best title?
A.The Popular Mega Millions JackpotB.Lottery is Merely a Trick
C.Mega Million is Like a Shark AttackD.Be rich, Buy Lottery Soon
