When I was in seventh grade, I was a candy striper(志愿做护士助手的小姑娘) at a local hospital in my town. Most of the 41 I spent there was with Mr Gillespie. He never had any 42 , and nobody seemed to care about his 43 .
I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him,__44__anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, 45 he responded with only an occasional squeeze(捏) of my hand. Mr Gillespie was in a coma(昏迷).
I left for a week to vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr Gillespie was 46 . I didn’t have the 47 to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might 48 me he had died.
Several 49 later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I 50 who it was, my eyes filled with tears. He was 51 ! I built up the courage to ask him if his name was Mr Gillespie. With a(n) 52 look on his face, he replied yes. I 53 how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking with him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever 54 .
He began to tell me how, 55 he lay there comatose, he could hear me talking to him and could 56 me holding his hand the whole time. Mr Gillespie 57 believed that it was my voice and 58 that had kept him alive.
Although I haven’t 59 him since, he fills my heart with 60 every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and his death.

Here in the hills were buffaloes (野牛). I had even, in my very young days — when I could not live till I had killed one of each kind of African animal — shot a bull out there. Later on, when I was not so interested to shoot as to watch the wild animals, I had been out to see them again. But twice I had to go back without success.
But one afternoon as I was having tea with some friends outside the house, Denys came flying from Nairobi and went over our heads westwards; a little while after he turned and came back and landed on the farm. I drove down to the plane to bring him back, but he would not get out of his plane.
“The buffaloes are out feeding in the hills,” he said, “come out and have a look at them.”
“I cannot come,” I said. “I have got a tea-party up at the house.”
“But we will go and see them and be back in a quarter of an hour,” he said.
This sounded to me like the suggestions which people make to you in a dream. So I went up with him. It did not take us long to see the buffaloes from the air; we counted them as they peacefully mixed and separated on the open ground closed in by bushes. There was one very old big black bull, and a number of young ones; if a stranger had come near to them they would have heard or smelt him at once, but they were not prepared for something from the air. They heard the noise of our machine and stopped feeding, but they did not seem to be able to look up. In the end they realized that something very strange was about; the old bull first walked out in front of the others. Suddenly he began to go down the valley side and after a moment he broke into a run. The whole group now followed him, rushing hurriedly down into the buses. In a small wood of low trees they stopped and kept close together. Here they believed themselves to be out of sight. We flew up and away. It was like having been taken there by a secret unknown route.
When I came back to my tea-party the teapot on the stone was still so hot that I burned my fingers on it.
小题1:The writer drove to the plane ________.| A．to pick Denys up and take him back to the tea-party | | B．to have a talk with Denys | | C．to do some repairs for Denys | | D．because they wanted to go up in the plane |
小题2: Denys said it would only take a quarter of an hour to go and see the buffaloes ________.| A．but it took much longer than that | B．and he was right | | C．if they went by a secret route | D．but it wasn’t a serious suggestion |
小题3:When the buffaloes heard the noise of the plane, they ________.| A．looked up at it | B．ran away immediately | | C．continued feeding | D．were uncertain what to do |

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters(学问). Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said again, “is for Elizabeth.” I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅）me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written in, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside－a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you chose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
小题1:The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______. | A．after Mother died. | B．before she became a writer. | | C．when she was a child. | D．when Mother gave it to her. |
小题2:The passage shows that _____. | A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter. | | B．Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done. | | C．Mother cared much about her daughter in words. | | D．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words. |
小题3:The word gulf in the paragraph 2 means ______. | A．deep understanding between the old and the young. | | B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter. | | C．free talks between mother and daughter. | | D．part of the sea going far in land. |
小题4:What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness? | A．She had never received the letter. | | B．For years, she often talked about the letter. | | C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life. | | D．She read the letter again and again till she died. |
小题5:What’s the best title of the passage? | A．My Letter to Mother. | B．Mother and Children. | | C．My Mother’s Desk. | D．Talks between Mother and Me. |

How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, "This is my destiny(命运).I cannot change it."
Of course not! You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external(外部的)factor.
I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn’t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone(unless it contributes to your success),and get your mind and body to work! Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone’s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand(or sit)there, do something to improve your life.
小题1:According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life_________________.| A．doesn’t need improving | B．couldn’t be improved | | C．will be better some day | D．will be worse in the future |
小题2: What does the author think of the woman’s life?| A．Positive | B．Passive | C．Colorful | D．Disturbing |
小题3:Which of the following statements is the author’s opinion?| A．Your temporary problem is not discouraging. | | B．Your luck can be changed by your own efforts. | | C．You can only achieve success when God wills it. | | D．You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends. |
小题4:In Para. 5, the author emphasized the importance of _______________.| A．positive thinking | B．positive action | | C．hope for the best | D．intention to succeed |
小题5: The text is mainly written to advise you to _________________. | A．understand yourself | B．improve your life | | C．believe in yourself | D．change your normal way |
