I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand.All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap.They did not make me happy, however, as tins was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.I tried in vain lo convince him that I did nothing wrong all the way, but it didn’t help. When we.arrived at the sate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls.I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him."Be a man, "he said."today you truly begin your life.You will find me waiting for you when it’s time to leave." I took a few steps.Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view.I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me.I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way.But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, " Who brought you?

Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded.We had to be observant and patient.It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting.And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold.Even more frequently she would resort to physical punishment. The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work.The children rushed toward the gate, which was opened again.I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate.I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there.I stepped aside to wait. 小题1:The writer hesitated and clung to his father’s hand when they got to the school gate because ____.A.he loved his father and didn’t want to leave his father | B.he had thought attending school meant being punished | C.he was afraid of the punishment given by teachers | D.he did not want to leave his mother and his rather alone at home | 小题2:What happened to him first during his first day at school?A.He was moved to tears by a sad story told by a girl. | B.He together without other students was grouped. | C.He learnt music and other courses and had a good time. | D.He got punished by die woman teacher because of his impatience. | 小题3:Which of the following subjects did he not probably have?A.Cooking. | B.Math. | C.Music. | D.Geography. | 小题4:From the last but one paragraph we can learn that ______.A.they got on well with one another all the time | B.they had a good time at school without being scolded | C.their teacher was more kind to them than strict with them | D.more often than not they experienced physical punishment | 小题5:The writer stepped aside after he got out of the school gate because .A.he was polite to let other students go before him | B.he left something behind in his classroom | C.he wanted to say goodbye to his teacher | D.his father has promised to wait for him |

I was packed and ready to leave for my two days’ trip. My mind had been filled with work and with so many small things to deal with. As I got into the car to leave, my thoughts turned to my children. I’d been preparing for the trip for the last few days, and now I’d be away for a few days. How to keep in touch with your kids during busy time is often a father’s problem. Men tend to focus on one thing extremely well for long periods, but this can lead to trouble. Shifting(移开) from work to your family life isn"t always the easiest thing to do. And if you don’t show your kids that you’re thinking about them, they may think that you are not. As I started down the road, I suddenly stopped the car and turned around. I drove back to my house, found a couple of cards, and wrote a short message to each of my children. I put each in a “secret” place where I knew they’d find it. When I called the next night, it was clear that they’d received the cards. “Daddy, I got your card,” they both said excitedly. “When did you do that?” My heart was warmed when I heard this. It was such a small thing. But it had a big impact(影响) on my kids. It was their “proof” that I was thinking about them. And it was encouragement for me to continue to do the small things that have a big impact. 小题1: From the passage we can infer that the author thinks a father should ______.A.care for his kids, no matter how busy he is | B.have a big impact on his kids | C.spend some time playing with his kids | D.stay at home as long as possible | 小题2:Before leaving for the trip the author considered ________.A.preparing some food for the trip | B.buying some nice gifts for his children | C.doing something to show his concern for his kids | D.telling his children to be careful at home | 小题3:The author’s kids were excited when they answered the phone because _______.A.their father had thought highly of them | B.they had found the cards from their father | C.they had done something good at home | D.their father told them he would be back soon | 小题4:What does the underlined word “that” in the fourth paragraph refer to?A.Packing luggage. | B.Reaching the hotel. | C.Writing short messages. | D.Going back home. | 小题5:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.All for the children | B.Play with your children | C.A father and his kids | D.Show love to your kids |

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner. 36 woman was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but my work had made 37 impossible to visit her very often. That night I called to 38 her to go out for dinner.“What’s wrong? Are you 39 ?”she asked. “I thought that it would be 40 to spend some time with you. Just the two of us,”I answered. She thought about it 41 moment, and agreed. That Friday after work, 42 I drove to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I 43 that, she, too, seemed to be 44 about our date. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to 45 her last wedding anniversary. We went to a restaurant that, 46 not elegant, was very nice and cozy. When I read the menu, Mom sat there 47 at me. A nostalgic(怀旧的)smile was 48 her lips. During the dinner, we had a(an) 49 conversation—nothing special but catching up on(了解)recent events of each other’s life. A few days 50 , my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do 51 for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a note 52 “You will never know what that night meant to me. I’m looking forward to the 53 dinner. I love you, Son.” At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time“I LOVE YOU”. Nothing in life is more important than your 54 . Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be 55 till“some other time”.

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug in his ear —maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?” Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question. When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.” 小题1:The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of_________.A.a friend who is ill | B.a man working at his desk | C.a person having lost a close friend | D.a stranger who looks somewhat worried | 小题2:George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his________.A.cheerfulness | B.cleverness | C.ability | D.politeness | 小题3:The underlined ‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’ in the 1st paragraph means that you’ve _____. A.made him laugh | B.shown concern for him | C.made fun of him | D.given him some kind of warning |

The son answered, “I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a 42 that reaches to the middle of the garden and they have a stream that has no 43 .
