      Melinda Skaar wasn"t expecting any phone calls. Skaar was working late in her office at the First
Internet bank of California. By 10:45 that night she was almost ready to go home when the phone rang.
     Picking it up, she heard a guard shouting. There is a fire! Get out of there. Skaar didn"t panic. She
figured that it was just a small fire. Her office building was huge. There were 62 floors and her desk
was on the 37th floor.
     Skaar called out to office mate Stephen Oksas, who also stayed late to work. But when they got out
to the hallway, they were met by a cloud of black smoke. Rushing back, Skaar shut the door and filled
the space at the bottom of the door with her jacket to keep the smoke out.
     Then they called 911. before they could call their families, however, the line went dead. That meant
that they were completely cut off from the outside world. All they could do was wait and hope someone
would come to rescue them.
     Minutes ticked by. Smoke began to float into the office. Soon it became hard for them to breathe.
     Looking around, Skaar noticed a small workroom. It seemed to have cleaner air. So they crowed there.
That helped for a while, but in time even the workroom was filled with deadly smoke.
     Hopeless, they tried to break the windows, but the glass was not breakable. Everything they threw at
just bounced back.
     Defeated, they struggled back to the workroom. They felt weak and dizzy. Soon Skaar found Oksas
had passed out.
     Skaar and Oksas knew they were lucky to be alive. Sunday is my birthday, Skaar told a reporter. She
would be turning 29. but she knew she had already got the best present possible-the gift of life. 1. What did Skaar and Oksas do where were stopped by the fire? A. they called their families
B. they waited where they were
C. they tried to run down the stairs
D. they rushed back and shut the door 2. The first sentence of the passage is to _______. A. introduce Skaar
B. get the reader"s attention
C. explain the cause of the event
D. tell the background information 3. The following helped Skaar and Oksas survive the fire except _______. A. calling 911 for help
B. breaking the windows to get some fresh air
C. crowding in a small workroom for clean air
D. shutting the door and keeping the smoke out with a jacket 4. what can we conclude from Skaar"s action in the fire? A. she is cleverer than Oksas
B. she was trained as a firefighter
C. she remained calm in the face of danger
D. she had had the experience of being caught in fire.

     Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he   1 his small
company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always
   2 his success to it.
     At that time, Glen, who already got a PhD degree,   3 to return to the homeland, starting a company.
Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the   4 made through years of work after school and the
scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the   5 customs check. The watch on his wrist was also
demanded to be taken down for 6   . Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax, and
he worried about paying
  7 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a   8 fake（假货）. When he
was   9 of his " smarts" , immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch,  10  cost nearly
100,000, into pieces  11  hearing Glen"s words. Glen was  12 . Before he understood why, he was taken to
the office to be examined   13 . For many times of entry-exit  14  he knew that only those people in the
"blacklist" would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and
  15 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if  16 reusing and carrying
fake and shoddy（劣质的）goods, he would be  17  according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he
had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.
     After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that
this made a deep  18 on him, because the additional high " school" fee that he had ever paid made him realize
the value of  19 , which he would remember as the   20 of his success forever.

     "Glad to find you so merry, my girls," said a cheery voice at the door, and actors and audience turned to
welcome a tall, motherly lady with a "Can I help you" look about her which was truly delightful. She was not
elegantly dressed, but a noble-looking woman, and the girls thought the gray cloak (斗篷) and unfashionable
bonnet (宽檐帽) covered the most splendid mother in the world.
     "Well, dearies, how have you got on today? There was so much to do, getting the boxes ready to go
tomorrow, that I didn"t come home to dinner. Has anyone called, Beth? How is your cold, Meg? Jo, you look
tired to death. Come and kiss me, baby."
     While making these maternal (母性的) inquires, Mrs. March got her wet things off, her warm slippers on,
and sitting down in the easy chair, drew Amy to her lap, preparing to enjoy the happiest hour of her busy day.
The girls flew about, trying to make things comfortable, each in her own way. Meg arranged the tea table.
Jo brought wood and set chairs, dropping, over-turning, and clattering everything she touched. Beth trotted
(小跑) to and fro between parlor (客厅) and kitchen, quiet and busy, while Amy gave directions to everyone,
as she sat with her hands folded.
     As they gathered about the table, Mrs. March said, with a particularly happy face,"I"ve got a treat for you
after supper."
    A quick, bright smile went round like a streak of sunshine. Beth clapped her hands, regardless of the biscuit
she held, and Jo tossed up her napkin, crying, "A letter! A letter! Three cheers for Father!"
     "Yes, a nice long letter. He is well, and thinks he shall get through the cold season better than we feared. He
sends all sorts of loving wishes for Christmas, and an especial message to you girls," said Mrs. March, patting
her pocket as if she had got a treasure there.
     "Hurry and get done! Don"t stop to quirk your little finger and simper (傻笑) over your plate, Amy," cried
Jo, choking on her tea and dropping her bread, butter side down, on the carpet in her haste to get at the treat.
     Beth ate no more, but crept (蹑手蹑足地走) away to sit in her shadowy corner and brood (细想) over the
delight to come, till the others were ready.
     "I think it was so splendid in Father to go as chaplain (牧师) when he was too old to be drafted (被征入
伍), and not strong enough for a soldier," said Meg warmly.
     "Don"t I wish I could go as a drummer? Or a nurse, so I could be near him and help him." exclaimed Jo,
with a groan.
     "It must be very disagreeable to sleep in a tent, and eat all sorts of bad-tasting things, and drink out of a tin
mug," sighed Amy.
     "When will he come home, Marmee?" asked Beth, with a little quiver in her voice.
     "Not for many months, dear, unless he is sick. He will stay and do his work faithfully as long as he can,
and we won"t ask for him back a minute sooner than he can be spared. Now come and hear the letter."
     They all drew to the fire, Mother in the big chair with Beth at her feet, Meg and Amy perched on either arm
of the chair, and Jo leaning on the back, where no one would see any sign of emotion if the letter should
happen to be touching. Very few letters were written in those hard times that were not touching, especially
those which fathers sent home. In this one little was said of the hardships endured, the dangers faced, or the
homesickness conquered. It was a cheerful, hopeful letter, full of lively descriptions of camp life, marches,
and military news, and only at the end did the writer"s heart overflow with fatherly love and longing for the
little girls at home.

1. What did the girls do after their mother arrived home?

A. They asked her to make dinner.
B. They told her about their day.
C. They got boxes ready to go for the next day.
D. They tried to make her comfortable.

2. The girls" father had not been drafted because he______.

A. was too old
B. had been injured
C. was a chaplain
D. had children

3. What was most likely keeping the girls" father away from home?

A. A storm.
B. A battle.
C. A sickness.
D. A job.

4. Why did Jo most likely sit with her back toward everyone while listening to the letter?

A. To show her sisters that she is angry
B. So that she can sit more comfortably
C. So that she has enough light to read
D. To hide her feelings from her sisters

5. The letter is compared to a treasure to show _______.

A. that mother was teasing the girls
B. the value of the letter to the girls
C. that mother had money in her pocket
D. the mother"s love for the girls

6. In paragraph 3, the word "inquiries" means _______.

A. scolding
B. questions
C. lessons
D. arrivals

     As sixth graders, kids were separating into groups, but I wasn"t sure where I belonged.
     Our teacher gave us a task called "secret friends" for the coming week.We were supposed to do nice
things   1   our friends without letting them know who was doing it.We could leave   2 notes or cards
either on their desks or in their backpacks. Before doing the task, with our eyes closed, from a basket, we
   3 a name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriened over the next five days.
     Soon, the task was turned into a competition of giving   4 instead of notes.Everyone was getting cool
presents except me.My friend followed the teacher"s   5 without a fault.I received nothing but handmade
cards with nice words about me.
     On the last morning, I finally got a package.When I   6 it, the girls around all  7  .It was perfumed
powder, an"old lady" gift.My face went red.
     I tried to forget about the   8   gift, but when the same girls   9 it again during the break in the bathroom,
I joined in,"How stupid! My grandmother wouldn"t  10  want it." The girls laughed at my  11  and left the
bathroom.Washing my hands, I let the water run through my fingers   12 I thought about my words. It
wasn"t  13 like me to say things like that.
     "I"m your secret friend." It was Rochelle. "I" m sorry about the gift," she whispered to me, tears  14 down
her face.
    From a poor family, she was a  15  at school for those with rich parents.Yet she just took all the  16   and
the horrible treatment silently.
    I was sick to my stomach as my  17  words ran through my mind.She had heard everything.How could I
have been so cruel?
    Later I learned she had felt bad all week about not being able to leave me any cool present and her mum
had given up her only luxury (奢侈品).
     And I had  18  everything for her.
     I told her that I had only said those things to try to   19 .
    "We aren"t that different from each other, are we?" She smiled    20  .Her simple words, spoken from her
heart, found their way straight into mine.

     Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each
passing day everyone became more   1 waiting for the final school bell. Upon its   2  everyone would run for
their coats and go home, everyone except David.
     David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often   3 what kind of home life David had, and what kind
of mother could send her son to school dressed so   4    for the cold winter months without a coat, boots, or
gloves. But something made David 5 . I can still remember he was always   6   a smile and willing to help. He
always
  7   after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He   8   just simply smile and
ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly   9 home.
     Weeks passed and the  10   over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of   11
before the holiday break. I smiled in  12   as the last of them hurried out of the door. Turning around I saw
David   13   standing by my desk.
    "I have something for you," he said and  14   from behind his back a small box.   15   it to me, he said
anxiously,"Open it. " I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my

but it"s  17 ."
     "Oh, no. It isn"t." said David." It"s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something
you couldn"t see or touch unless you know it"s there."
     Tears filled my eyes 18   I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given 19   to. After that
Christmas,David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 20   the little empty box set on
my desk..
