    “Well, we’re in our new house. Let’s get a new pet to go along with it,” Mrs. Brown said to her husband.
    “That sounds like a very good idea,” he answered. “Do you want to see the ads in the newspaper?”
    “Let’s go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes. Since tomorrow is Saturday, we can both go.” she said.

    That year, in the local school, there was a new math teacher, as well as some new pupils. One of the new kids was the stupidest child that anyone had ever seen. It made no difference how quickly or how slowly they tried explaining numbers to him; he would always end up saying something enormously stupid. Like two plus two was five, seven times three was twenty-seven, or a triangle had thirty corners...
    Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kid, and they would have to correct his mistakes.
    Whenever the new teacher asked questions, the stupid kid would stand up but made the wrong answers, the other students all wanted to be the first to find his mistakes, and then think up the most original ways to explain them. To do this they used all kinds of stuff: sweets, playing cards, oranges, paper planes, etc. It didn't seem like any of this bothered the new kid.
    However，little Lewis was sure that it was bound to make him feel sad inside. Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So，one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school. On leaving school, the new kid walked a few minutes to a local park, and there he waited for a while, until someone came along to meet him...
    It was the new teacher!

    Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people，but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer” and writing．In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You've got to want to write, ”I say to them, “not want to be a writer”．
    The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coat Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no hope at all．What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building．It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom．I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer．
    After a year or so．However, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself．It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat．But I knew I wanted to write，l had dreamed about it for years．I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, what if? I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure．This is the shadow land of hope，and anyone with a dream must learn to live there．
    小题1:The purpose of the passage is to         ．
    A．warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
    B．advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
    C．show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to seek wealth and fame
    D．encourage young people to be a writer over a long period of time
    小题2:What can be concluded from the passage?
    A．Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding．
    B．A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort．
    C．Famous writers usually live in poverty．
    D．The chances for a writer to become successful are little．
    小题3:Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
    A．He wasn't able to produce a single book．
    B．He hadn't seen a change for the better．
    C．He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year．
    D．He found his dream would never come true．
    小题4:“…people who die wondering，what if?” refers to “those         ”．
    A．who think too much of the dark side of life
    B．who regret giving up their career halfway
    C．who think a lot without making a decision
    D．who are full of imagination even upon death

    Cheerful Charlie was a very special boy. When he was still in his mother’s tummy, she had an accident, which meant that Charlie couldn’t walk. But that had never been a(n)          for him; they had started calling him Cheerful Charlie because of his joyful and           nature. He really brightened everything up for those around him.
    There wasn’t a postman, or a taxi driver who wasn’t            to see Charlie. “Cheer up, Mr. Postman, that way you’ll         more letters today!” he would say, or “That was great, Mr. Taxi Driver. You        that thing better than anyone else. ”
    He also had great ideas and            for everything; and he shared them so generously that, just about every day in that town, someone did a great job, or             something new, thanks to Charlie’s ideas.
    One day, though, he came up against a real            . A young boy came to town on his holidays. He was known as Waterworks and was a real crybaby. No matter what Charlie said to him, Waterworks would always find some               to be sad: “I don’t have many sweets… my parents didn’t buy me that toy…” Everything seemed so bad to him. But Cheerful Charlie wasn’t going to be                , and he kept spending more time with Waterworks,           trying to cheer him up, just as he did with everyone.
    Then, one day, when they were together in the street, someone             a pie from a window above by chance, and it landed       on Charlie’s head. He got such a fright that he couldn’t even move his lips. He was speechless, and although Waterworks was just about to cry,   he          Charlie’s happy words so much that he finally said, “Wow, Charlie, that’s a nice clown mask(小丑面具) you just put on!”
    On saying those words, Waterworks felt so          that he finally understood why Charlie was always so happy and cheerful. He realized that he was so used to Charlie’s enthusiasm that he couldn’t help but see the funny side of everything.

    Dear Mr. Watson,
    CLAIM AL54323432–-STORM DAMAGE TO ROOF
    I received a cheque for $623 dated 26 January in payment of my recent claim(索赔). However, I wish to tell you how upset I have been by the way your Claims Assessor, Mr. Michael Tan, handled this claim.
    When Mr. Tan first called me, he specifically told me that he believed I had been overcharged, and he would expect to pay that price for work on a double garage, rather than a single garage like mine. Mr. Tan suggested that I neither use nor recommend this contractor again. He continued to tell me it was unlikely for me to receive full payment. Never during this conversation did he mention that the reason for not receiving full payment was because of the nature of my insurance policy.
    Consequently, I wrote to Mr. Lance Ashe to complain about his pricing, stating that I was very upset thinking that he could have taken advantage by overcharging a 73-year-old woman. Mr. Ashe telephoned me immediately and explained his charges in detail. He later reported back to me that Mr. Tan explained that I would not receive full payment because of the type of policy I hold, which does not cover wear and tear. This was the first time this issue had been brought to my attention, so you can imagine my surprise.
    When I received Mr. Tan’s letter of 2 February, this situation was explained. If this had been explained in the first place I would have accepted it and would not have questioned Mr. Ashe’s charges. Instead, by telling me initially that I had been overcharged for this work, he caused a great deal of upset, not only for me but also for Mr. Ashe.
    I believed this claim was handled badly by Mr. Tan from the beginning. Therefore, a great deal of embarrassment has been caused over this issue.
    I felt you should know how disappointed and upset I am. I trust you will look into this and ensure that such claims are handled more appropriately in the future.
    Yours sincerely,
    Mrs. Richard
    小题1:The author writes this letter to ______.
    A．inform the manager of a payment
    B．complain about a mishandled case
    C．demand an apology from Mr. Watson
    D．require the manager to fire Mr. Tan
    小题2:The underlined words “the contractor” in Para.2 refer to ______.
    A．Mr. TanB．Mrs. RichardC．Mr. AsheD．Mr. Watson
    小题3:The author could not receive full payment because _______.
    A．her policy doesn’t cover some of the items
    B．the contractor overcharged her for the work
    C．Mr. Watson doesn’t take the matter seriously
    D．she spent too much money fixing her garage

    A．welfare organizationB．nursing house

    While I     our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and     some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched      as the boys piled up useless toys in the box.
    “I’ll help you find something for the little girl,” I said to her.
    The boys placed the toys they had     to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved doll    tightly to her chest. She      in front of the box, pressed her little face into Lucy’s face, gave her a      kiss, then, laid her gently on top of the other toys.
    “Oh, honey,” I said. “You      to give away Lucy. You love her so much.”
    Meghan nodded, eyes shining with tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy.       she’ll make that little girl happy, too.”
    I stared at Meghan for a long moment,        how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me.
    It’s easy to give what we don’t want any more, but       to let go of things we cherish, isn’ t it?       , the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.
