    Mondays are usually pretty busy for me. On one of these      Mondays, I got ready to go to work thinking about all the things I had to       on that day and walked down to get to my car scolding myself for being late to work, but       the car was nowhere to be found. I     right across my apartment the previous night but it wasn’t there that morning.
    This was at 8:00 am in the morning. I made      to all the towing（拖）places, police stations all the time thinking that it was towed by     . By around 10:00 am, I couldn’t find it anywhere and the policemen decided that it was      stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely     .
    Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at an enterprise      to realize that my license was missing too along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole     and he was so sorry for me that he     to take me to the nearest DMV（车管局）and get a duplicate（副本的）   . I was totally surprised. I didn’t know why this complete stranger would want to     some time off his day to help me . He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then      me a car. I was      the whole day because of the continuous events that happened to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a     stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the misfortunes of the day. I was so     by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar      . I took some smiley shaped chocolates and     them on some of my colleague’s desks.
    This is still a lot     out there in the world. We just need to take the time to discover it.

    Family traditions were important in our house, and none was more appreciated than the perfect Christmas tree.
    “Dad, can we watch when you trim(修剪) the tree?” My eldest son, Dan, nine, and his seven-year-old brother John, asked.
    “I won’t be cutting this year,” my husband Bob said. “Dan, you and John are old enough to measure things. Do it all by yourselves. Think you boys can handle it?”
    Dan and John seemed to grow six inches in their chairs at the thought of such an amazing responsibility. “We can handle it,” Dan promised. “We won’t let you down.”
    A few days before Christmas, Dan and John rushed in after school. They gathered the tools they’d need and brought them out to the yard, where the tree waited. I was cooking when I heard the happy sounds as the boys carried the tree into the living room. Then I heard the sound that every mother knows is trouble: dead silence. I hurried out to them. The tree was cut too short. John crossed his arms tight across his chest. His eyes filled with angry tears.
    I felt worried. The tree was central to our holiday. I didn’t want the boys to feel ashamed every time they looked at it. I couldn’t lower the ceiling, and I couldn’t raise the floor either. There was no way to undo the damage done. Suddenly, a thought came to my mind, which turned the problem into the solution.
    “We can’t make the tree taller,” I said. “But we can put it on a higher position.”
    Dan nodded his head sideways. “We could put it on the coffee table. It just might work! Let’s try it!”
    When Bob got home and looked at the big tree on top of the coffee table, Dan and John held their breath.
    “What a good idea!” he declared. “Why didn’t I ever think of such a thing?”
    John broke into a grin. Dan’s chest swelled with pride.
    小题1:The underlined part “grow six inches” (Para. 4) implies the brothers felt        .
    A．proudB．nervousC．embarrassedD．Scared
    小题2:What happened after the brothers moved the Christmas tree into the living room?
    A．They rushed to school.
    B．They began to decorate the tree.
    C．They got angry with each other.
    D．They found the tree was cut short.
    小题3:How could the short tree be turned into a perfect one?
    A．By making the tree taller.
    B．By lowering the ceiling.
    C．By placing it on a coffee table.
    D．By raising the floor.
    小题4:What Bob said in the last but one paragraph showed        .
    A．he was a little disappointed
    B．he was too stupid to think of the idea
    C．he appreciated what the brothers had done
    D．he should not have given them the task

    When I was in seventh grade, I volunteered at a local hospital during the summer. I spent most of the time there with Mr. Gillespie. He never had any      , and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there       his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine,       Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).
    I left for a week, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was      . I didn't have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for       they might tell me he had died.
    So with many questions      , I continued to volunteer there.
    Several years later, I was at a gas station when I noticed a       face. When I realized who it was, my eyes filled with tears. He was alive? I got up the       to ask him if his name was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a       about 5 years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he       yes. I explained how I knew him. His eyes were       with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug.
    He began to tell me when he       there comatose (昏迷的), he could hear me talking to him and could       me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an      , not a person, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my       and touch that had kept him alive.
    Then he told me about his life and what happened       him to put him in the coma. We both cried for a while, said our goodbyes and       our separate ways.
    Although I have not seen him since then, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a       between his life and his death. More      , he has made a very big difference in my life, too. I will never forget him and what he       for me: he made me an angel.

    Luckily, there are diagnostic criteria(诊断标准)now and experts that can help. Jasmine has become a(an)       herself in a way. She runs a website to help sufferers and their      . “It’s incredible. I spent most of my childhood being ashamed, but now I’d like to make it      . People like my mum need help, but not to be made to feel      .”
    “We hadn’t been able to have Christmas dinner at Mum’s for      , because you couldn’t get people into the house      . But we had one last year, and it was amazing,” Jasmine said. “The       still isn’t perfect, and Mum isn’t perfect either. She’s still       with it. But I’m so proud that she’s come this far, and I want to tell other people it’s possible.”

    I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football. It was just a sleepy little town where parents wanted to raise their children away from crime and              of a big city, and where teenagers like me        leaving to find something bigger and better.
    All that changed one summer night. My friend Lisa, Martin and Tyler held a party for my eighteenth birthday at Lisa’s house.       they kept handing alcohol to me I was pretty        . I asked Tyler to take me home. With some       , we made it out to his car and drove home. News came next morning. My friend Martin was       in a car accident. That night after Tyler and I left, Martin, who was       more drunk than me, got into his car and        towards the highway to go home. Driving on the wrong side of the road, he never saw the truck coming. The driver didn’t see him       to avoid the car. They hit head on. Martin died immediately, and the driver was thrown       the truck windshield（挡风玻璃）and died a week later.
    Whenever I       back on that day, I can’t help thinking that it was my       to drink so much that night.       things would be different. I know Martin       the choice to drink and drive that night, but a part of me will always feel       for what happened.
    I may not change the world with my story, but I do hope that by       my story I can make you       that you not only have a responsibility for yourself but also for others. Don’t ever think that your choices are yours       . Every choice is like a stone dropped into         water—each ripple (涟漪) represents someone who your choice       . That’s quite an influence, isn’t it?

If an accident takes place, the     of which I think the local police could use, I     him up and tell him about it, though I am not in    here.

    One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special letter to my home, though it was     to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of     . More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was     . I was told at the window that there were     boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long     list. As I was about to be      , the postmaster appeared in the    . “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering an      delivery to your home?” I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office     we make one specifically for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get     but complaints.”

    On a stormy day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat w ere being pulled out to sea.
    Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search a football. Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
    Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
    “Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls（回忆）. “I’m trying to fi gure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
    Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back,” he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella!”
    Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.
    “Let’s aim for the pier（码头）,” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it.  Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim?” he cried. “A little bit,” the boys said.Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.
    “Are we almost there?” they asked again and again. “Yes,” Tim told them each time.
    After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.

    小题2:Why did Tim raise his head regularly?
    A．To take in enough fresh air.
    B．To consider turning back or not.
    C．To check his distance from the boys.
