Little Bit
"Meow, meow, meow," is what I heard as I walked. I went to the noise and found there was a
36 black and white cat under a piece of wood. I picked him up and 37 he must be freezing to death. I 38 home with the cat held in my jacket.
My new best friend, who soon became known as Little Bit, received his name because he was almost 39 when I held him in my hands. He stood about five inches tail. Little Bit" s small size had a great advantage -- he 40 perfectly in the pocket of my jacket, which made 41 him everywhere very easy. Any time I was home, he wouldn" t leave my 42 . He was always eager to play with me. When I fell asleep at night, he would always roll up around my head to keep me 43 .
Unfortunately, I grew up. My teenage life 44 my relationship with Little Bit. I lived at such a fast pace (节奏) that I stopped making time for him. My free time was spent with my 45 instead. I would come in the house on my phone and not 46 him at all. His meows became an annoyance to me, but it wasn" t his fault that he 47 his best friend back.
Time had caused a 48 to Little Bit. His body began shutting down and by the time I realized 49 was wrong with him, he had already lost his balance. He lay there and looked at me, and 50 this day I still remember the 51 look in his bright green eyes. I took him to the vet (兽医), but there was nothing he could do. The last time I 52 him he wasn" t the same tiny cat I had found ten years before. Little Bit filled my arms and he was put to sleep that day.
Little Bit" s 53 made me realize how much he meant to me. He was always there for me when I 54 him. I regret our last years together and I feel sorry for not always being there for him. I will always 55 the special memories we made.

I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard (果园)，looking up at the branches above me. It is one of the last days of summer. Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler. Some kinds of apples are already ripe(成熟的).Others will be ready to pick soon. I think of my grandmother’s apple pie，and how I used to make it with her. She died last year，before the apple harvest，and I have not had her pie since. I really miss her. I hear bees busily humming about，visiting the late summer flowers. The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.
The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes. Above me，big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind. School starts in another week，and time seems to have slowed down.
“Sophie！” calls my grandfather. “Is that you？”I stand up，take his hand，and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard. We talk about apples，and bees，and Grandma. He tells me that he misses her too.
He puts his rough，brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close. “You know，Sophie，”he says，“I spent the morning in the attic(阁楼)，and you’ll never guess what I found. It’s the recipe (烹饪法) for Grandma’s apple pie. I used to help her make it sometimes. I can’t do it all alone，but you used to help her too. Maybe between the two of us，we can work it out. Want to try？”
“But it won’t be the same without Grandma，” I tell him.
“That’s true，”he says，“but nothing is the same without Grandma. Still，I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie. What do you say？” I nod yes，and we walk towards home...towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen，making Grandma’s famous apple pie.

People who like travelling have their reasons. They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view，especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.
Travelling，in my opinion，does more good than harm. Most importantly，it broadens(使扩大)our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations(文明)，cultures，customs and ideas.
Through history，most people travelled because of necessity(必要性)－not for pleasure. People travelled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for fun of it. In ancient times，for example，rich Romans travelled all the ways to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games，and festivals. Of course，some people decided to travel just out of curiosity(好奇心).They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon(地平线).Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.
So，travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.
小题1:The underlined word “expand” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by“___________ ”.| A．widen | B．protect | C．lose | D．decide |
小题2:According to the passage，in the past most people traveled____________.| A．for fun | B．for knowledge | C．to get experiences | D．to make a living |
小题3:How many reasons for travelling are mentioned in Paragraph 3 ?| A．Three. | B．Four. | C．Five. | D．Six. |
小题4:What’s the main idea of this passage?| A．Different kinds of travelling. | | B．Travelling enriches our mind. | | C．Ways to enjoy yourself while travelling. | | D．The advantages and disadvantages of travelling. |

Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure(奇遇)？Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four－hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.
Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride，there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation－in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I think it was annoying.
Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two－day trip by train. She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home，although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.
She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.
There are always many people on the train from all walks of life，different countries，and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry，you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.
It sure beats driving the car，which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus.
小题1:According to the passage，the purpose of the author’s train ride was .| A．to do business | B．to see her children | | C．to visit places of interest | D．to see her old friends |
小题2:Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 3?| A．Disappointed. | B．Satisfied. | C．Worried. | D．Pleased. |
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about the old lady sitting next to the author?| A．She is too old to drive now. | | B．She does not like to take trains. | | C．Although she is old，she has a good memory. | | D．Her daughters live far away from her home. |
小题4:What is the best title for this passage?| A．Train ride－a cultural experience | B．A painful experience on the train | | C．The history of Amtrak | D．A wonderful lady |
