         "BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on
    one side, and I on the other side.
         We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing rather
    sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
         But now … I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We
    differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels
    like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
         I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived ,I saw that the light was still on.
         I thought to myself: "Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?" In fact, it was nothing.
    Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never
    had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his outrageous(蛮横的)words: "I
    can't throw you away, let alone these old papers?"
         All the lights were off except father's. Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking(用……盖住) me underneath the covers.
         This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do
    has become his second nature.
         The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe…ith the key in hand, I was as nervous as I
    had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my
    cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it's
    second to none.
    1. Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
    a. I opened the door and entered the house.
    b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
    c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
    d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.
    e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
    A. b, e, d, c, a      
    B. b, e, c, d, a    
    C. b, e, a, c, d        
    D. b, e, c, a, d
    2. What made the writer think of his childhood ?
    A. The sight of the street lights.
    B. The sight of the empty street.
    C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms. 
    D. The sight of light in his own house.
    3. Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?
    A. perhaps the father is getting older and older.
    B. perhaps the son has already grown up.
    C. perhaps they never agree with each other.
    D. perhaps the father has got used to doing that.
    4. What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?
    A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.
    B. The father is actually kind to his son.
    C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
    D. The father is always finding fault with his son.

    A boy was born to couple after eleven years of marriage．They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes． When the boy saw around two years old, the husband saw a medicine bottle open． He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and put it in the cupboard．The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter．

    The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to it and, fascinated with its color, drank it all．It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages（剂量）．When the child fell down, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died．The mother was unconscious． She was terrified how to face her husband．

    When the distraught （心烦意乱的）father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words．

    What do you think those four words were? The husband just said, "I love You Darling"．

    The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive（积极主动的） behavior．The child is dead．He can never be brought back to life．There is no point in finding fault with the mother．Besides, if only he have taken time to put the bottle away, this would not have happened．No point in attaching blame．She had also lost her only child．What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband．That is what he gave her．

    Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who's to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know and miss out on the warmth in human relationships we could receive by giving each other support．After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have．Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding onto forgiveness．

    If everyone could look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be fewer problems in the world．

    Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think．

    1．The meaning of the underlined phrase is         ．

           A．an adult                                              B．a healthy boy

           C．the love of the parents                          D．a naughty boy

    2．Why was the mother terrified to face the husband?

           A．Because she was afraid of her husband．B．Because she thought that was her fault．

           C．Because she poisoned her son herself． D．Because she wanted to kill herself．

    3．What does this passage mainly talk about?

           A．Be careful to do everything．                B．Forgive what you shouldn’t forgive．

           C．Treasure what you have now．            D．Envy can mislead the way you go．

    4．Which column of a paper can we find this article?

          A．Financial aid to students．                    B．Grand view of science．

           C．Enjoying the countryside view．           D．Life and society．

           Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive, hardly knowing whether to return or move forward, when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent. It was a tall young man, smoking.

           He had an almost black face, though red and smooth. His moustache was black with curled points, though he could not be more than twenty, three or-four. There was an unusual force in his face, and in his daring rolling eyes.

           ‘Well, my beauty, what can I do for you?’ said he, coming forward．And seeing that she was quite at a loss: ‘Never mind me. I am Mr. d’Urberville. Have you come to see me or my mother?’

    This differed greatly from what Tess had expected．She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face. She tried to keep calm and answered— ‘I came to see your mother, sir.’

           ‘I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed,’ replied the representative of the house; for this was Mr. Alee, the only son of the noble family. ‘What is the business you wish to see her about?’

           ‘It isn’t business—it is— I can hardly say what!’

           ‘Pleasure?’

           ‘Oh no. Why, sir, if I tell you, it will seem—’

           Tess’s sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here, her rosy lips curved（弯曲） towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man.

    ‘It is so foolish’, she stammered（急急巴巴地说）; ‘I fear I can’t tell you!’

           ‘Never mind; I like foolish things. Try again, my dear,’ said he kindly.

           ‘Mother asked me to come,’ Tess continued; ‘and, indeed, I was in the mind to do so myself. But I did not think it would be like this. I came, sir, to tell you that we are of the same family as you.’

           ‘Ho! Poor relations?’

           ‘Yes.’

           ‘Stokes?’

           ‘No; d’Urbervilles.’

           ‘Ay, ay; I mean d’Urbervilles.’

           ‘Our names are worn away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d’Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are,—and —and we have an old seal（印章） and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we’ve lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living.’

           ‘Very kind of your mother, I’m sure.’ Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy. ‘And so, my pretty girl, you’ve come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?’

           ‘I suppose I have,’ looking less confident and uncomfortable again.

           ‘Well—there’s no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?

                                             —-Tess of the d’Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy

    1．How does Tess feel in the whole course of the meeting with Alec?

           A．Excited and hopeful.                   B．Nervous and uncomfortable.

           C．Surprised but comfortable.              D．Pleased but embarrassed.

    2．In the eyes of Tess, Alec is _______________.

         A．forceful and daring                    B．unfriendly and talkative

         C．a gentle and reliable man                 D．older than she had expected

    3．Why does Tess pay the visit to the d’Urbervilles?

         A．To see Alec himself.

         B．To see Alec’s mother.

         C．To confirm that they are of the same family.

         D．To make known their relationship and seek help.

    4．Alec appears quite friendly to Tess mainly because __________.

         A．Tess is his distant relation               B．Tess looks polite to him

         C．Tess is a pretty girl                    D．Tess looks ridiculous

    　　Wild elephants live in herds of 10 to about 50．The leader is usually female．A herd can go through a forest quietly．It travels in a single line．It goes about six miles an hour．When frightened, it may run at about 25 miles an hour．When they reach water, elephants swim across．They are great swimmers．

    　　Elephants eat grass, leaves, small branches, and bark．They particularly like the tender leaves on the top of trees．how do they get these leaves? They use their heads to knock trees down．They can easily knock down a 30-foot tree．Elephants also eat berries, mangoes, coconuts, corn, and sugar cane．They love salt．A wild male adult eats from 500 to 600 pounds of food a day．

    　　Many people want to find the graveyards(墓地)of elephants．There is a strong belief that such graveyards exist．Here is why Bones and tusks of dead elephants are almost never found．Searches have been made in forests．Grassy plains have been searched too．But neither bones nor tusks are found．Elephants don’t live forever．Where are their bones? They don’t just bury themselves．Here is one belief that says an elephant gets sick or old, it instinctively knows death is near．It leaves the herd．It goes off to a secret graveyard．The place is known only to elephants, and perhaps other animals, but not to humans．Obviously, such a graveyard would be filled with ivory tusks．These were once very valuable．The objective of explorers was to find this “gold” mine．This graveyard belief may be a truth or a myth．But it is romantic．It would be nice if it were true．
