阅读理解。     We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn"t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at
a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched with mouth open in surprise,
Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room and took
out a wet mop (拖把). She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said,
"Very dirty floors."
     "Yes, I"m glad they"ve finally decided to clean them," the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and
said, "But aren"t you working late?"
     Mum just pushed harder, each swipe (拖一下) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I
watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to write in the big book.
     After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand.
As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you."
     Outside, Mum told me:"Linda is fine. No fever."
     "You saw her, Mum?"
     "Of course, I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. It"s a fine hospital.

阅读理解。     Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there
a few years ago, and I was eager to see his now place and meet his friends. My earliest memories of my father
are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children.
As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult (成年人) I feared him and felt bitter about him. He
seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A"s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not
as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things
to say, feeling on guard.
     On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father"s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We
walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son"s funny facial
expressions. Gone was my father"s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my
father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
     The next day, my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own
childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment
. After so many years, I"m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I"m delighted with my new
friend

     Today is my first day at Merchiston Castle School, and I was really nervous about it, because I have never
visited the school before and didn"t take any summer course. Despite my anxiety, I soon relaxed once I arrived;
the staff were so nice that I felt my spoken English was better than it actually was! As soon as I walked into
the dayroom of my boarding house, I was absolutely (完全地) amazed by the friendly atmosphere; everyone
was so friendly that a boy as shy as I had no difficulty in setting in, and I made many new friends on my very
first day, although I was struggling to remember all the names.
     Also I realized there were other international students in the house from all over the world, such as South
Korea, Japan and Russia. Although their English was not so fluent, it didn"t take long for us to understand each
other at all. In some ways, it was even better to practice English by speaking to the international students,
because we were both learning.
     As a boarder, the quality of food is something I consider very important, and Merchiston has not let me
down. The school kitchens are run by a professional catering company, and the quality of food is excellent,
also they take the issue of a healthy diet really seriously. I remember once I was asked to take more salad for
my meal by a member of the kitchen staff for I did not have enough vegetables. This brings to another point
of being a boarder: you need to learn how to look after yourself and be responsible for yourself. One of the
huge advantages of being a boarder is that we can have breakfast in the school, which means we don"t have
to pull ourselves out of the bed as early as the daypupils!
1. Why was the writer nervous when he was at Merchiston Castle School on the first day?
[     ]
A. Because he had no friends and relatives there.
B. Because he didn"t know the school well.
C. Because he was not good at English.
D. Because he was shy.
2. On the first day, _____.
[     ]
A. though the writer was anxious,he soon relaxed
B. he found the dayroom of his boarding house terrible
C. he made many new friends,but he didn"t remember any of their names
D. he thought he spoke English better than the staff in the school
3. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
[     ]
A. In the boarding house,there are only students from South Korea, Japan and Russia.
B. The international students in the boarding house don"t speak Englsih very fluently.
C. The food in Merchiston doesn"t make the writer disappiointed.
D. The professional catering company thinks the issue of a healthy diet is very important.
4. The underlined word "boarder" in the last paragraph means "_____".
[     ]
A. a student who is from abroad
B. a student who lives at school
C. a student who is good at English
D. a student who used to be shy

     The first day of school we were interested to get to know a new classmate. I looked around when a gentle
hand touched my shoulder. I found a little old lady with a warm smile.
     She said, "Hi! I"m Rose. I"m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and I heartily responded, "Of
course!"
     "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent (天真无邪的) age?" I asked.
     She jokingly replied, "I"m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around." 
     "Not seriously," I asked. I was curious why she took on this challenge at this age.
     "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I"m getting one!" she told me. We became instant
friends.
     Over the year, Rose became a campus icon (偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She
loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from the other students.
     At the end of the semester, we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I"ll never forget what she
taught us.
     "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets to
staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You"ve got to have a dream. When you lose your
dreams, you die. Unfortunately we have many people like this walking around?" she said.
     "There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn"t
take any talent or ability," she added. "But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change. Have no
regrets. The elderly usually don"t regret what they did, but rather things they did not do."
     One week after graduation that year, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that _____.
1. Why was Rose in college at 87? Because _____.
[     ]
A. she wanted to meet a rich husband
B. she wanted to get married and have children
C. she wanted to travel around
D. she dreamed of having a college education
2. According to the passage, Rose loved to do the following EXCEPT _____.
[     ]
A. dress up
B. enjoy the attention from the other students
C. play football
D. make friends
3. According to what Rose said,we can know that to stay young you must not _____.
[     ]
A. laugh
B. be humorous
C. have a dream
D. lose your dream
4. According to the last paragraph but one we know _____.
[     ]
A. growing older is quite different from growing up
B. growing older needs talent
C. growing up doesn"t require ability
D. the elderly usually have no regrets
5. Which of the following can be used to fill in the blank at the end of the passage?
[     ]
A. where there is a will, there"s a way
B. never too late to learn
C. Study hard and you will be young
D. never too late to be all you can possibly be
