A young executive was traveling down a neighborhood street.He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.As his car passed,no children appeared.Instead,a brick smashed into his door! He slammed on the brakes(make his car stop).The angry driver then jumped out of the car, caught the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car,shouting,“What was that all about and who are you?” The young boy was apologetic.“Please,Mister...Please,I’m sorry…I didn’t know what else to do.I threw the brick because no one else would stop…” With tears dripping down his face,the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car.“It’s my brother,”he said.“He fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Now sobbing(crying silently),the boy asked the executive,“Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.’’ Moved beyond words,the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat.He hurriedly lifted the boy back into the wheelchair,then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed(a light touch) at the fresh scrapes and cuts.A quick look told him everything was going to be okay.“Thank you and may God bless you.”the grateful child told the stranger.Shaken up for words,the man simply watched the little boy push his wheelchair—bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts.Sometimes when we don’t have time to listen,he has to throw a brick at us.Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention! 小题1:The executive slowed down because______. .A.he saw a boy throw a brick to his car | B.he saw a boy rush out from between cars | C.he was afraid some boys suddenly rushed out | D.a brick smashed into his door | 小题2:The boy threw the brick to the car in order to_________.A.disturb the driver on purpose | B.destroy the car of the stranger | C.ask someone to drive him home | D.stop someone to help him | 小题3:Knowing the reason why the boy threw the brick at his car the executive must feel .A.sympathized and excited | B.regretful and sympathized | C.ashamed and regretful | D.angry and regretful | 小题4:After the boy’s brother fell off his wheelchair, .A.the boy threw bricks at several cars | B.the boy tried to stop several cars | C.the boy’s brother was hurt seriously | D.the boy’s brother wanted to stop a car | 小题5:From the last paragraph we can learn that .A.you shouldn’t drive so fast that someone throws at you | B.it is common to throw a brick at a car running too fast | C.you can’t go through your life without a brick throwing at you | D.you should pay more attention to others and help them |

I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or __ _ _ with them whatever they happened to have. Those who had the _ _ _ _ to give often gave the most. I’m __ _ _ to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was __ _ _.

An old woman had two large pots (罐), one on each end of a pole (扁担). She carried the pole with the pots across her neck. One of the pots had a crack (裂缝) in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered (递送) a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full. For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: “I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.” The old woman smiled: “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them.” “For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate (装饰) the table. Without you being just the way you are, I would not have this beauty.” Each of us has our own cracks. But it’s these cracks that make our lives together so interesting and meaningful. 小题1:How did the cracked pot feel about itself at first?A.Proud. | B.Happy. | C.Excited. | D.Ashamed. | 小题2:Where were the flowers growing?A.On both sides of the path. | B.In the woman’s house. | C.On the perfect pot’s side. | D.On the cracked pot’s side. | 小题3:Which is the correct order of the following events? ① The woman picked the flowers and decorated the table. ② The woman told the truth to the cracked pot. ③ The cracked pot talked to the woman about its crack. ④ The woman found a crack on one pot. ⑤ The woman planted some flower seeds.A.④⑤①③② | B.⑤④③②① | C.④③①②⑤ | D.④⑤③①② | 小题4:What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A.Never laugh at old women. | B.Imperfection makes life meaningful. | C.Try your best to be perfect in life. | D.Don’t use a cracked pot to carry water. |

What I like to advise people is to find out what it is that makes them happy. What do you love to do? If you truly love what you do just go ahead and try to make a living by doing it. People will throw money at you to do it. But you will always have to work hard at it. I have to draw every single day of my life. I have to draw about 20 ideas. My advice is to put aside a certain amount of time every day and make you draw or whatever, especially when you don’t feel like it. Only in this way will you be able to perfect your talent. The first step you take is to go to your local library and ask for the publications issued in the current years. When you get these publications, try to find the names of the top people concerned and their presidents. After you find these, write down their names and addresses. Keep this list and update it every year. Next thing you want to do is to create at least 40 cartoons. Get a grid(格子) from one of the strips in the newspapers, enlarge it to whatever size you wish and draw inside this grid. Now take the best 20 of your ideas and make them into finished pieces. To do this, you would want to copy them in ink because if you were a professional cartoonist, that was what you should do. Now you can reduce the size of the finished cartoons to fit onto a regular comic’s page. By comparing yours with the others already in print, it gives you a good idea of clarity to your cartoon. The next step is to write letters to presidents of the publication. In the letters, explain who you think would read your work, or in other words, what group do you think you would target. After you complete these, send all of your information enclosed with letters in the appropriate envelope. Now as soon as you send out these letters, start to create a brand new strip with all new characters. Don’t get married to one idea because if your idea gets turned down then you will give up. And always remember. If you receive a rejection from any of them, keep in mind that you are working on something better. You will be working on something new and more exciting and the rejection letter will not have any impact. With this in mind… 小题1:What is the advice from the writer in the first paragraph when you want to succeed in your life?A.Stop doing anything until you find something quite suitable for your future career. | B.Put aside a certain amount of time every day to consider how to make a living. | C.Make a living by something that you truly like to do as your profession and work hard at it. | D.Perfect your talent only by drawing some cartoons. | 小题2:The purpose of writing a letter to the president was to ____.A.get some money to support the later career | B.enclose the information on how to become cartoonists with the letter | C.focus his attention on the work | D.explain who would be the readers of the work | 小题3: The underlined phrase “get married to one idea” in the last paragraph probably refers to ______.A.having a strong desire to get married | B.fixing all attention on one idea | C.marrying someone is a good ideas | D.refusing one idea to get married |
