Dr. Martinez put on a false smile (假笑) as she entered Janet Eslin’s hospital room. She couldn’t let Janet see that she was worried. Yet she had been searching for the cause of Janet’s illness and hadn’t found a clue（线索）.
“How are you feeling today?” Dr. Martinez asked her patient. Janet replied that she felt about the same----terribly uncomfortable.

“I think we’ve discovered your problem,” Dr. Martinez said as she left. Several hours later, Dr. Martinez was back with the answer. “Janet, the food you ate made you ill. You’re suffering from food poisoning. Now that we know what’s wrong, we can take care of your problem.”

Greg Woodburn, a student at the University of Southern California, spends a lot of time cleaning sneakers he collected. But soon the shoes will be sent to poor children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn’s Share our soles (S.O.S) charity.
A high school track star in the town of Ventura, California, Woodburn was treated in hospital for months with foot injuries.
“I started thinking about the health benefits, the friendship and the confidence I got from running,” he says, “And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes”.
Woodburn gathered up his old sneakers, and then asked his friends to donate. His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas 2006. When he collected more than 500 pairs, he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round effort.
Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools, city gym and recreation center. So far, S.O.S has collected and donated more than 3,000 pairs.
Woodburn has cleaned all the shoes. After sorting the shoes by size, Woodburn selects the good shoes for the washing machine and the worn-out ones for recycling.
For many recipients, the shoes represent opportunity. Two young boys in Southern California attended school every other day because they shared a pair of shoes. They were too big for one boy and too small for the other. Thanks to S.O.S, each brother received his own pair of shoes. The boys now attend school daily and enjoy their learning. When they graduate, they say, they will help a stranger, just as Woodburn helped them.
小题1:The text is mainly about .| A．the attempts to collect sneakers | B．the school track star, Woodburn | | C．Woodburn and his Share Our Soles | D．the recycling of the worn sneakers |
小题2:What caused Greg Woodburn to donate old shoes for poor children?| A．News about some poor children. | B．The benefits from playing sports. | | C．His memory of school life. | D．The medical treatment he received. |

小题4:From the fifth paragraph we can learn that .| A．Woodburn has changed his business | | B．Few students are interested in his suggestion | | C．Few people supported his career | | D．Woodburn succeeded in this charity |
小题5:Which of the following is true according to the passage?| A．The two brothers would like to share a pair of shoes. | | B．The shoes will protect poor children from injuries. | | C．Woodburn gets tired of cleaning the old sneakers. | | D．The shoes from S.O.S make a big difference to the two brothers. |

Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis,cricket — anything with a round ball, I was useless." he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England"s rural Devonshire.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway"s school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man"s cold-water exploits (成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
Journeys to the Pole aren"t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. "John Ridgway was one of the few who didn"t say, "You are completely crazy,"" Saunders says.
In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter (遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.
Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he"s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.
This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.
小题1:The turning point in Saunders"life came when ________.| A．he started to play ball games | | B．he got a mountain bike at age 15 | | C．he ran his first marathon at age 18 | | D．he started to receive Ridgway"s training |
小题2:We can learn from the text that Ridgway ________.| A．dismissed Saunders" dream as fantasy | | B．built up his body together with Saunders | | C．hired Saunders for his cold-water experience | | D．won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic |
小题3:What do we know about Saunders?| A．He once worked at a school in Scotland. | | B．He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole. | | C．He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid. | | D．He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole. |
小题4:The underlined word "Intrigued" in the third paragraph probably means ________.| A．Excited | B．Convinced | C．Delighted | D．Fascinated |
小题5:It can be inferred that Saunders" journey to the North Pole ________.| A．was accompanied by his old playmates | | B．set a record in the North Pole expedition | | C．was supported by other Arctic explorers | | D．made him well-known in the 1960s |

In January 1986 I saw a show about cartooning called “Funny Business” on TV. I had always wanted to be a __36__but never knew how. So I wrote to the host of the_37_, cartoonist Jack Cassady, asking for advice on entering the profession(职业).
Two weeks later I got a (n) __38__letter from Jack, answering my questions about materials and process(过程). He also __39__ me not to get discouraged if I was refused__40__. He said the cartoon samples（样本） I sent him were good and worthy of publication（出版）.
I got very __41__, finally understanding how the whole process__42__. I sent my best cartoons to Playboy and New Yorker, ___43___ the magazines rejected（拒绝）me immediately. Discouraged, I put my art supplies in the box and__44__to forget all about cartooning.
To my__45__, in June 1987 I got another letter from Jack, although I hadn’t even__46__ him for the former advice. Here’s what he said:
Dear Scott,
I was reviewing my “Funny Business” mail file when I again came__47__ your letter and your cartoons. I remember answering you letter.
I’m writing to encourage you to submit(提交) your ideas to various publications again. I hope you have __48__ done so and are making progress and having some__49__ too. Sometimes encouragement in the funny business is hard to come by. That’s__50__ I am encouraging you to hang in there and keep drawing.
I wish you good luck.
Sincerely,
Jack
I was deeply__51__because Jack had nothing to gain—including my thanks. I acted on his__52__, took out my art supplies and inked the sample strips(漫画连载) that__53__ became Dilbert.
I feel__54__that I wouldn’t have tried cartooning again if Jack hadn’t sent the second letter. As Dilbert became more successful I came to __55__ Jack’s simple act of kindness.
