and handed her my 14 . She said nothing-not a word, not a smile or not a gesture. She just handed me my

It hit me right between the eyes: Two people, the same age; 16 made me feel great, and the other, well,
made me feel that I had inconvenienced her by 17 .

D. life | | 阅读理解。 | It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation.
I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the
hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the
saddest time of your life." At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have
to leave."
As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague"s words no longer existed. When I came
across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn"t the money.
Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was
working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education
and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired I thanked
him, but declined his kind offer.
A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had
slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in
my class-not about math, but about life-would be things she would remember long after the math skills had
faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.
Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with
renewed dedication (奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction-I will always be grateful that I am a teacher. | | 1. Hearing his colleague"s description of graduation for the first time, the author _____. | | [ ] | A. quite agreed with his colleague
B. was very puzzled
C. thought it very funny
D. was very sad | | 2. The computer science student called up the author because he _____. | | [ ] | A. wanted to inform the author of his present job
B. tried to persuade the author to work with him
C. wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction
D. thought the author wasn"t fit to be a teacher | | 3. The underlined part blue hats and gowns refers to _____. | | [ ] | A. university colleagues
B. graduates" clothes
C. life memories
D. decorations in the hall | | 4. The author wrote this passage to _____. | | [ ] | A. express his devotion to being a teacher
B. compare two different graduation ceremonies
C. talk about the meaning of graduation
D. give advice on how to be a good teacher | | 5. The reason why he earns less than the computer science student is that _____. | | [ ] | A. he was only a young professor
B. he didn"t do well in his work
C. he taught his students more about life than math
D. salaries for different careers are different | | 阅读理解。 | Many people hate the idea of having to sleep on a plane. But Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios thinks
they can be persuaded otherwise and he has created a new kind of hostel to prove it.
Dios says it is the world"s first jumbo jet hostel, an actual jet-plane Sweden"s main airport outside
Stockholm which has been converted (改装) into a 25-room guesthouse that sleeps as many as 72 people.
"I learned about this plane that was standing abandoned at Arlanda airport and I"ve been trying the concept
of hostels in many different houses and buildings," he told reporters. "I thought, "Why not a plane?""
Jumbo Hostels opened for business on Thursday, giving customers the chance to check in and sleep in
a room that can best be described as cozy.
"The most challenging part with this project is trying to build something inside a metal hull (外壳)-it"s just
really, really tight."
The jet, which was originally produced for Singapore Airlines, was taken out of service in 2002. One thing
the hostel has going for it is price-a room starts at 350 Swedish crowns (about $ 41), which is a lot less than
hotel rooms outside of major airports.
Another feature: customers can get married on the wing of the plane and live in the plane"s more luxurious
honeymoon room situated in the cockpit (驾驶舱).
Instead of walking down the aisle (走廊), lovebirds can take what Jumbo Hostels calls the "wing walk,"
where they can be joined in great joy at the wing tip. The hostel has someone ready to perform the ceremony.
But in some respects, this hostel remains a plane-most customers have to share the jet"s nine bathrooms
and staff only wear air steward and stewardess clothes. The only room that has its own bathroom is the
honeymoon suite. | | 1. Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios creates a new kind of jet hostel in order to _____. | | [ ] | A. make people more comfortable
B. earn more money from people
C. change people"s idea of not sleeping on the plane
D. explore the sources of the universe | | 2. According to the passage the jet hostel is _____. | | [ ] | A flying in the sky
B. hung in the sky
C. lying on the airport
D. buried underground | | 3. The advantages of the jet hostel are the following EXCEPT _____. | | [ ] | A. more comfortable
B. suitable for new couples
C. convenient bathroom
D. cheaper | | 4. This abandoned plane originally belongs to _____. | | [ ] | A. Stockholm Airlines
B. Singapore Airlines
C. Sweden Airlines
D. Oscar Dios Airlines | | 5. Which statement of the following do you think can best describe this passage? | | [ ] | A. A new fashion of wedding in the plane.
B. For travelers, a new way to get a restful night.
C. A new way to enjoy yourselves.
D. How to change a plane into a hostel. | | 阅读理解。 | Maja Kazazic looked closely down into the aquarium (水族馆). For two years, she"d been watching the
injured dolphin named Winter swim around the tank. From a distance, the dolphin seemed approachable
enough. Still, as Kazazic prepared to jump into the water, a little panic gradually came into her excitement.
The young woman eased herself into the pool. Despite her fear, she felt strong wearing her new leg.
She was ready to make good on a promise from long ago.
In second grade in Mostar, Yugoslavia, Kazazic"s five-year-old cousin, Jasmina, died of leukemia (白血
病). Kazazic swore that she would honor the little girl by swimming with a dolphin, an anirnal they both
adored. "Jasmina never got the chance to do it," says Kazazic, 32, "so I decided that someday I"d do it for
her."
In 1993, during the Bosnian civil war, 16-year-old Kazazic was badly injured. Her left leg was cut off
just below the knee and was brought to the United States for treatment. A few months later, Kazazic received
her first artificial leg. Because her right leg was also damaged, walking was still very painful. Nonetheless,
she managed to graduate from a local high school.
After receiving a BA in psychology, she moved to Florida"s Gulf Coast. She liked watching the dolphins
play at the aquarium. A young dolphin,Winter, who had lost her tail in a crab trap, caught Kazazic s eye:"She
swam more like a shrimp (虾) than a dolphin."
After one doctor"s visit, trainers fit Winter with a high-tech tail. When it was done, Winter swam away
fast. Kazazic was impressed. She approached the trainers, who put her in touch with the inventors. Within
ten days, she had a new leg and she could walk without pain again.
Eight months later, Kazazic was ready to keep the promise she had made in honor of Jasmina. "After
being in a war zone, this should be a piece of cakc," Kazazic said as she lowered herself into the tank. She
held out a hand to Winter, who approached cautiously, and then moved away. After a few minutes, the
dolphin let Kazazic move her hand gently over her back. The two started an hour long swim around the
pool. When Kazazic climbed out, her parents hugged her. She would have shouted with joy had she not
been aware of dolphins" sensitivity to noise. Instead she quietly said, "I felt I owed somebody something,
and now I"ve paid my debt." Out in the parking lot, she got into her car and shouted loudly and happily all
the way. | 1. Which is the correct order of the following events?

his trusty stick with each unhurried step. His torn cloth jacket, patched trousers, worn out shoes, and warm
personality made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. He stopped, turned with his
whole body, and winked at a little girl seated by the door. She flashed a big smile right back at him.
A yourig waitress named Mary watched him walk toward a table by the window. She ran over to him, and
said, "Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair." She pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying
him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comforlably seated. Then she moved the
table up close to him, and leaned his stick against the table where he could reach it.
In a soft, clear voice he said, "Thank you, Miss. And bless you for your kind gestures."
"You"re welcome, Sir." She replied. "And my name is Mary. I"ll be back in a moment, and if you need
anything at all in the mean time, just wave at me!"
After he had finished a hearty meal, Mary brought him the change from his ticket. He left it on the table.
She helped him and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for hirn, she said, "Come back
and see us, Sir!" He turned and nodded a thank-you. "You are very kind." he said softly, smiling.
When Mary went to clean his table, she almost fainted. Under his plate she found a business card, and a
note scribbled on a napkin. Under the napkin was a one-hundred-dollar bill.
The note on the napkin read, "Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself too. It shows
by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine through
those who meet you."
