He was too high up to get down,and there was no way that he could have climbed up by himself. He had been thrown out with the rubbish by some sick-minded person. I took him back to my workplace and then home with me. I didn"t want to take him to the lost animal society. However, later that evening, my boss heard that someone had lost their dog and gave them my number. I was very surprised when the dog"s owner phoned me. She came straight over to fetch him and was very thankful for what I"d done. The dog was sitting on an electric blanket (毯子) happily playing with a ball when she arrived. Maybe she"d been putting her rubbish into bags and had left one on the floor. The little dog had jumped in there,and without realizing where he was, she"d tied the bag and dropped it off at the collection point. Luckily, he was able to find his way out somehow, and had found himself high up. It made me feel very silly for jumping to such a wrong conclusion. It was obvious (明显的) that she loved her dog very much, and I felt sorry for what I"d been thinking about its owner all afternoon. Now I"m never sure that something happened in a certain way, no matter how obvious it appears. And when I hear people drawing a conclusion without the facts, I tell them about the dog on the rubbish pile. | 1. How did the dog come to the rubbish pile probably? | A. He was thrown there by his owner. B. He climbed there on his own. C. He was driven there by someone. D. He followed the writer there. | 2. The writer brought the dog home because _______. | A. she didn"t know whose he was B. she was waiting for the owner C. she wanted to keep him home D. she"d like to give him to the boss | 3. What is the best conclusion we can draw from the story? | A. Everyone takes pity on lost animals. B. There are really sick-minded people. C. We should correct mistakes in time. D. Facts must come before conclusions. | 完形填空。 | It all started a year before when my daughter Suzanne and I were shopping in Sydney. In the window of a sports shop I noticed a photo of a group of young people climbing the rock 1 in a canyon (峡谷). "That"s what I"m going to do next 2 ," I said. Suzanne laughed. "Sure, Mum! Don"t forget you"re 65 years old!" I didn"t feel I was that age! I 3 a club and trained weekly. Each day I felt my physical energy 4 and, along with it, my confidence (信心). Then Suzanne pointed out, "Ws good, but how can you clear away the 5 of height?" "I"ve got it all worked out," I replied bravely. "We"re going to the indoor climbing centre." While I was going up the high wall, I was afraid to look down as if a terrible animal was after me. Some time later, as I reached the ground, I sat down 6 on the floor. Later that night, as I lay in bed, I encouraged myself, "You had climbed the wall! You will certainly make it!" We set off with our packages to the Grand Canyon. When we reached it, I found the canyon was a huge black hole-far 7 than I had imagined. As the guide clipped (夹住) me onto the rope, my heart 8 double-time and I wondered why I had got myself into this. Time lost all meaning 9 I pushed my body forward. Only the strong rope kept me from 10 hope. I began to think it would never end when everyone had stopped. "This is as far as we go, and we can climb out after a few steps," the guide said finally. Two and a half hours later, we returned to the car park at last. I began to shake, one hard step after another. Getting onto the bus, I 11 into the seat I had left so confidently a lifetime before.

After his father died in 1970, five-year-old Amel had to work in a small shop to help his family. The boy insisted on going to school and his mother finally sent him to a nearby public school. "I was happy to study but my life became harder because I had to wake up earlier to do all my jobs before I went to school," says Arnel. Worn down by all the work, he was ready to give up by the time he reached the fifth grade. Then his teacher"s words changed his life and made him study harder. Arnel finished high school at the top of his class, received a scholarship (奖学金) from the Philippine Normal University in Manila and got a degree in education in 1985. He took a job teaching math at a Manila private school and did volunteer teaching at the school"s adult class in the evening. "The adults were from poor families and had to work when they were very young," he explains. "It was touching to see how they tried to get a high school education at their age." As time passed, he realized that helping needy students was his true calling. In 2004 he left his well-paid job and retumed to Rosario. "My goal was to educate street children for free." He began holding classes under a large tree. Slowly, more and more street children became interested in his teachirig. "I taught them the basics of reading, writing and math," says Arnel. He worked harder, walking to nearby villages, where he would give classes in parks or on playgrounds. To make ends meet, he began teaching children from rich families. In June this year Arnel borrowed a bicycle with a large sidecar from a neighbour. The sidecar holds a small wooden desk, textbooks and school supplies, and a black- board set to the front bears Arnel"s words:"Education can be found anywhere. It is a road to progress." The bicycle allows Arnel to visit faraway areas. He sets up an outdoor classroom and invites teenagers to his class three days a week. Many of the children have been out of school for years. Amel also offers adult education to help out-of-school young people learn high school lessons. He does not receive any money but accepts school supplies and food for the students. He says, "I want to bring education to as many children and adults as possible. Everyone should have a chance." | 1. Who decided Arnel should go to school at first? | A. His mother. B. He himself. C. His teacher. D. The govemment. | 2. Why did Amel retum to his hometown to teach the street children? | A. Because there were no schools in his hometown. B. Because he didn"t want to teach rich children only. C. Because he considered it"s his duty to help the poor. D. Because the country"s education should be improved. | 3. How does Arnel make his living? | A. By serving rich families. B. By accepting school supplies. C. By receiving his family"s help. D. By offering lessons for adults. | 4. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? | A.Teacher on Wheels B. Classes for the Poor C. Road to Progress D.
