My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn’t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend’s house. Though I knew I wouldn’t tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I’d stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity(机会)”
“ What is ?” I asked.
“ To talk, you and I,” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we’re going to do with ourselves now that we’re in the situation we are in.”
“But we can’t do anything about it, Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.
And that’s how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life—from how fast things change, to how they sometimes don’t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.
Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “ I guess that means you’ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”
小题1: I wished to get out of the house because ______________| A．I was angry about my parents’ quarrel（争吵） | | B．I found nobody to share my feelings with | | C．I wanted to escape from the dark house | | D．I planned to tell my friend about my trouble |
小题2:Grandpa was happy to see me because _____________| A．he could discuss the problem with me | | B．he had not seen me for a long time | | C．he was afraid of darkness | | D．he felt quite lonely |
小题3:What can be inferred from the passage?| A．The grandchild was eager to leave. | | B．They would have more chats. | | C．The lights would go out again. | | D．It would no longer be dark. |

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather. Several times, it 36 several obstacles in its path. And after a brief pause it would make the necessary detour (绕道). 37 one point, the ant had to cross a crack(裂缝) about 10mm wide. After some 38 thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked 39 it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way. I was 40 by the cleverness of this ant. It was only a small insect, lacking in 41 yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome. 42 this ant, like the other two-legged creatures 43 on the earth, also shares human failings.
After some time the ant 44 reached its destination — a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its 45 home. It was there that the ant met its 46 . How could that large feather possibly 47 such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t. So the ant, after all this 48 and using great brightness, overcoming problems a1l along the way, just gave up the 49 and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through 50 it began its journey and in the end the feather was 51 more than a burden. Isn’t our 52 like that?
We worry about our families; we worry about the 53 of money; and we worry about all kinds of things. These are all burdens — the things we pick up along life’s path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to 54 that at the destination they are 55 and we can’t take them with us.

A man was on the side of the road hitchhiking(搭便车) on a very dark night in the middle of a terrible rainstorm, with no cars on the road. The storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop. The man, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering wheel(方向盘)!
The car started to move very slowly. The man looked at the road and saw a curve(拐弯处) coming his way. Terrified, he started to pray, begging for his life. He had not come out of shock when, just before the car hit the curve, a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the wheel. The man, paralyzed with fear, watched how the hand appeared every time the car was drawing near a curve. Finally, although terrified, the man managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky(怪异的) car. Without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town. In a state of complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of Scotch whisky.
Then, still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he just went through in the spooky car. Everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth because he was crying and he was certainly not drunk!
About half an hour later, two other young men walked into the same bar and one said to the other,“Hey, there’s a stupid man who jumped into the car while we were pushing it!”
小题1:When the car was first drawing near a curve, the man .| A．felt very curious | B．was extremely frightened | | C．cried for help | D．remained as calm as possible |
小题2:According to the passage, what made the man’s experience believable?| A．His reasonable behavior. | B．His vivid description. | | C．His simple appearance. | D．His honest attitude. |
小题3:We can infer from the passage that .| A．it is unsafe for people to take a free ride | | B．the man was telling a lie to his listeners | | C．the car probably broke down on the way | | D．the two young men were familiar with the man |
