Andy loved the first grade. He loved his teacher，Mrs.Parks. He loved playing games on the playground. He loved learning about dinosaurs and the solar system (恐龙和太阳系)．
Every morning Andy’s mother dropped him off in front of his school on South Street. One foggy morning，the traffic was so bad on South Street that she decided to drop him off behind the school. Andy walked for about ten minutes and got to the gate. He held the icy handle，but it didn’t move！Using both hands，he tried his hardest and finally the gate opened.
After Andy closed the gate behind him，he looked in the direction of the teaching building. But all he could see was fog. He got to the spot where the slide had always been，but it was not there.“The slide is gone！” he cried. He walked a little more to look for the swings，but they were not where they had always been.“The swings are gone！” he cried again.
Andy kept walking. He was so anxious to see the school that he fell and landed on the ground. He still couldn’t see the school. A terrible thought appeared in his head.“The school is gone！” he cried sadly. No more games with Jennie，Angel and Dillon，he thought. No more reading about dinosaurs. No more watching videos on the solar system...
Suddenly the boy saw something up ahead.“It’s Jennie！”he shouted. Then he saw the outline of a school building. His school was still there！He was full of excitement!
“Hi，Jennie！” he stood up and caught up with the girl.“I couldn’t see the school. I thought it was gone.” Jennie just laughed.“You’re so silly.” “What happened to the slide and the swings？” Andy asked.
“We will have new playground equipment today，” Jennie answered.“The old equipment was taken away last night. Don’t you remember Mrs. Parks telling us about it yesterday？” “I guess I forgot，” Andy said，smiling.“Anyway，I’m glad the school is here.”

Lee Humberg, district manager for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, is the man in charge of figuring out how to remove the flocks (群) of 15,000 to 20,000 Canada geese(大雁) that could strike planes flying in and out of the New York area. The Port Authority, the agency that manages airport in New York and New Jersey, estimates that there have been as many as 315 bird strikes annually in the past 30 years.
Bird strikes have been a hot topic since a US Airways jet suffered a “double strike” and made an emergency landing on the Hudson River in January 2009. All 155 passengers were rescued safely and the flight was called “Miracle on the Hudson”. The plane finally ended up at the Carolinas Aviation Museum. The next major bird strike may not have such a happy ending.
To thin the flocks, Humberg and his team have tracked down goose nests and killed eggs with corn oil. They’ve also terrified the birds with dogs, remote-controlled boats and kites that look like eagles. But the only method that effectively decreases the goose population is the one that angers animal lovers the most: gassing hundreds at a time.
“If all you are doing is goose harassment (***扰) every day, it’s very frustrating, because you are just playing Ping-Pong with the birds,” Humberg told New York magazine. “It’s basically an arms race to come up with the tools to deal with them.”
Now New York City plans to send the geese captured to Pennsylvania to be cooked and distributed at food banks as meals for the poor. That might just be a fate better than flying into a 747 engine.
小题1:What can we learn form Humberg?| A．He does research on geese’s living conditions. | | B．He makes efforts to protect wild birds. | | C．He deals with the danger of birds at airports. | | D．He tries to find newer and safer airlines. |
小题2:Why was the flight called “Miracle on the Hudson”?| A．It suffered a “double strike”. | B．It arrived at a plane museum. | | C．It only caused a few deaths. | D．It succeeded in landing on a river. |
小题3:By saying “you are just playing Ping-Pong with the birds”, Humberg means ______.| A．It’s interesting to fight with the birds | | B．It’s a skill-needed race against the birds | | C．you can’t defeat the bird in the end | | D．you should live with birds peacefully |
小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that ______.| A．Canada geese can fly as high as planes | | B．New York airlines are in poor management | | C．bird strikes happen once a week on average | | D．the poor may also benefit from Humberg’s work |

Have you ever listened to young children talking in the playground? They are always boasting. They say things like, “My Dad’s car is bigger than your Dad’s,” and “My Mom is smarter than yours.” They particularly like to boast about their families.
There were three little boys, Harry, Ted and Gavin, who were always boasting. Gavin was the worst. Everything about his family was always the best or the biggest or the most expensive.
Whatever the others said, he could always go on better. One day when they were walking to
school, Harry said, “My father had a bath twice a week,” Ted spoke next. “That’s nothing,” he said. “Having a bath twice a week is dirty. My father has a bath every day, sometimes twice a day.” Ted looked at Gavin. Now it was his turn. But what could he say? “This time,” Ted thought, “I’m going to win.” Gavin didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t say that his father had a bath three times a day. That was silly. He walked on in silence. Ted smiled at Harry, and Harry smiled back. They were sure that for once they had beaten Gavin. They reached the school gates. Still Gavin said nothing. “We’ve won,” Ted said to Harry, but he spoke too soon. On the way home, Gavin said, “My Dad is so clean that he doesn’t have to bathe at all.”
小题1:According to the passage, the meaning of the word “boast” is __________.| A．to sing a nice song | | B．to talk big | | C．to go on better | | D．to have a bath three times a day |
小题2:What did Harry boast about?| A．The number of times his father had a bath every week. | | B．The size of the bathroom in his home. | | C．His father’s car. | | D．His mother’s family. |
小题3:Who boasted the most?| A．Ted. | | B．Harry and Ted. | | C．Harry and Gavin. | | D．Gavin. |
小题4:What does “he spoke too soon” in the last paragraph mean?| A．He spoke quickly. | | B．He should have spoken earlier. | | C．He was wrong. | | D．He couldn’t be understood. |

I noticed the woman when I entered the newsroom. My secretary told me she wanted to put an ad to 36 a baby. So I suggested several 37 lines for these ads to her: 38 , Baby to love; or Dear Birth Mother, Let Us Help You. The ad would contain 39 about her and her husband: they were 40 , could afford to raise a child. But then something 41 me: the major newspapers carried ads like this and their 42 were larger than ours. “Have you tried the major ones?” I asked. “Yes, but all failed and one more wouldn’t 43 .” She handed me a check and left with a 44 smile.
A week later the woman called in a 45 of delight: “Please don’t run the ad again. We ’ve connected with 46 . The baby is due in a month.” Good news. I asked her if she 47 keep in touch if the adoption 48 to have a happy ending. She agreed but added when the adoption was final she was 49 to give me the story.
One day my phone rang. I 50 her voice immediately. “The adoption is final. Would you like to come and meet him?” Happily, I made a (an ) 51 with her for the next day. “His name is Ben,” she said, as I started to take 52 . “He slept through the night from the start. Now he’s smiling and starting to turn over. Of course I’m not 53 him. If he is a little slow.” She paused. “ Oh, I should tell you Ben has Down’s Syndrome.(唐氏综合症)” I stopped writing . I wasn’t sure how to 54 . But she smiled “Ben was meant for us, don’t you see? He needs me more than a 55 developing child would.” She sat on the sofa, holding her son. Both of them smiled. “You wanted a story with a happy ending,” said the woman “ You got it.”

They didn’t get me out until the next morning.
