     Freda Bright says, "Only in opera do people die of love." It"s true. You really can"t love
somebody to death. I"ve known people to die from no love, but I"ve never known anyone
to be loved to death. We just can"t love one another enough.
     A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise
in salary. All day she felt nervous and late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to
approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise.
     The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes.
Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive
meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or... did he just somehow
 know that she would not get turned down?
     She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, t
hen sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully
lettered note. It read, "Congratulations, darling! I knew you"d get the raise! These things
will tell you how much I love you."
     Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that
a second card had fallen from his pocket. Picking it off the floor, she read, "Don"t worry
about not getting the raise! You deserve(值得) it anyway! These things will tell you how
much I love you."
     Someone has said that the measure of love is when you love without measure. What
this man feels for his wife is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His
love celebrates her victories and comforts her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what
life throws in their direction.
     Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said, "What can you do to
promote world peace? Go home and love your family." And love your friends. Love them
without measure.


1. What does Freda Bright mean by saying "Only in opera do people die of love"?_____.A. No love in the world is believable.
B. Love is one thing, and life is another.
C. Love in operas is truly touching.
D. Love can survive forever, though people die at different ages.2. That the husband prepared her a second letter about her raise suggests that____.A. he loves her because he believes that she can receive a raise.
B. he has a great way to promote his wife"s love towards him.
C. he had a false love for people even if the person is his wife.
D. he loves his family member truly, whether they are in good condition or not.3. From the text, we might say the author ____.A. refuses any spiritual emotions.

     Long ago in a small town, there was a place known as the House of 1,000 Mirrors. A small,
happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit.
When he arrived, he bounced (跳) happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked
through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great
surprise, he found himself staring at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as
his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1,000 great smiles just as warm and friendly.
As he left the house, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit
often."
    In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to
visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door.
When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was
horrified to see 1,000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "This is a
horrible place, and I will never go back there again."
     All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see on the faces of the
people you meet? 
1. Why was the first dog surprised when he entered the house?
A. Because he didn"t expect to see so many happy dogs.
B. Because he didn"t know there were 1,000 mirrors in the house.
C. Because he was always in a mixed mood.
D. Because he saw so many dogs smiling at him.
2. Why did the first dog like the house?
A. Because there were 1,000 mirrors in the house.
B. Because he thought he could keep himself warm in the house.
C. Because he liked everything presented to him.
D. Because he felt he was welcome here.
3. The underlined word "growling" probably means ______.
A. make an unfriendly noise

4. Which of the follwing is the most suitable title for the passage?

     A lot of teachers hate doodlers(乱写乱画的人)during classes. "Pay attention!" Teachers will often
warn doodling students, sure that they must be daydreaming.
     However, according to a recent study, doodling while listening to a boring lecture helps concentrate(集中)the attention:
     Andrade, a psychology professor in England asked participants to listen to a boring lecture. Half the
participants were told to color in squares and circles freely on a piece of paper while listening to the
lecture. The other half weren’t given a task. After it was over, the participants were asked to retell the
lecture.    
     Those given the doodling task (color in squares and circles) remembered 29 percent more information
than the non-doodlers. Andrade said.   
     "If someone is doing a boring task, like listening to a dull conversation, they may start daydream,"
said Professor Andrade.
    "Daydreaming distracts(使分心)them from the task, resulting in poorer performance. A  simple task,
like doodling, can stop them from daydreaming without affecting their performance at the task," he said.    
     So the next time you"re doodling during a class, and you hear "pay attention", you can tell the teacher
with confidence that you"ve been paying attention to every word.  
1. The passage mainly tells us              .
A. doodling will be banned(禁止) in classes  
B. teachers are against doodling
C. doodling may help concentrate    
D. doodling can lead to daydream
2. Teachers hate doodlers because they thought               .
A. doodlers are not good at study      
B. doodlers are doing no task 
C. doodlers pay no attention in class  
D. doodlers are not polite to them
3. According to the text, it is helpful to doodle when              
A. a boring lecture is given            
B. an interesting story is told
C. watching a long TV program      
D. having a conversation with the teacher
4. Professor Andrade thinks                .  
A. those given the doodling task can remember less information
B. if you have daydream during classes you"ll have a good memory
C. daydreaming is better than doodling
D. doodling can stop us from daydreaming
5. We can learn from the text that               
A. doodling is the best way to draw attention
B. daydreaming is different from doodling
C. doodling will be helpful in any occasion
D. every student should doodle in class
