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. Standing by
her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and
white paper, I decided
that the act of
writing must be the more wonderful thing in the
world.
Years later, during
her final illness, mother kept different things
for my sister and brother. “But
the
desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.
”
I never saw her angry,
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(
易动
感情的
)
”
. But
she lived
“
on the
surface(
表面
)
”
.
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(
失望
), 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 it, and I could stop trying
to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, 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(
折叠
) and
refolded many times.
Give
me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you
choose. Mother, you always chose the act that
speaks louder than words.

Once Goethe,
the great German poet, was walking in a park. He
was thinking about something
when
he
noticed
he
came
to
a
very,
very
narrow
road.
Just
at
that
time,
a
young
man
came
towards him from the other end of the
road. It was too narrow for both of them to pass
through
at the same time. They stopped
and looked at each other for a while. Then the
young man said
rudely, “I never make
way for a fool.” But Goethe smiled and said, “I
always do.” Then he turned
back quickly
and walked towards the end of the road.

Not
many
years
ago,
some
farmers
were
worried
because
hawks
were
taking
many
of
their
chicken.
The farmers didn’t know what to do. Finally they
went to the country officials and asked
for help.
“
Kill the hawks,” the
officials said, “We will even pay for them,”
s
o the farmers began to think of
ways to kill the hawks.
The farmers killed many hawks. They no
longer had to worry about their chickens. But they
now
had a new worry. Field mice were
eating up a lot of the farmers’ grain.
How did this happen?
Hawks eat not only chickens but also
field mice. They eat more field mice than
chickens. But the
farmers didn’t know
this. When they killed a lot of hawks, they
changed the balance.
When
people move into a new place, they often destroy
many wild plants. Often these plants are
food for the animals. If the animals
can’t find enough plants to eat, they will starve
or have to
leave the place.
In one part of the USA, for example the
deer there like to eat a certain kind of wild
roses. The
mountain lions there eat the
de
er. The number of deer, mountain
lions and wild roses doesn’t
change
much if people leave things as they are.
But people killed many
mountain lions in
order to protect the
deer. Soon there were so many
deer that
they ate up all the wild roses. Then the deer
began to eat the green leaves of young
trees. These trees were important to
the farmers. So the farmers thought of ways to
protect their
trees. Now the deer had
nothing to eat, and many of them died. This was
another lesson from
nature.
To keep the balance of nature is
important for us to remember.

Little Tommy was doing very
badly in math. His parents had tried
everything
—
tutors
(
家庭教师
),
cards,
special learning centers
—
in
short, everything they could think of. Finally
they took Tommy
to a catholic
(
天主教的
) school.
After the first day, little Tommy came
home with a very serious look on his face. He
didn
’
t kiss his
mother hello. Instead, he went straight
to his room and started studying. Books and papers
were
spread (
铺开
)
out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at
work. His mother was surprised.
She
called
him
down
to
dinner
and
as
soon
as
he
finished
eating,
he
went
back
to
his
room,
without a word. In no
time he was back hitting the books as hard as
before. This went on for
some time, day
after day while the mother tried to understand
what was happening.
Finally, little Tommy brought home his
report card. He quietly put it on the table and
went up to
his room and hit the books.
His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little
Tommy got an A in
math. She could no
longer hold her curiosity
(
好奇心
). She went to his room
and asked,
“
Son,
what was it? Was it the nuns
(
修女
)?
”
Little Tommy looked at her and shook
his head, “No. ”
“
Well then,” she asked
again. “WHAT was it?”
Little
Tommy
looked
at
her and
said,
“
Well,
on
the
first
day
of
school,
when
I
saw
that
man
nailed
(
钉
) to the plus sign
(
加号
), I knew they
weren
’
t joking.

When
my
family
moved
to America
from a
small
village
in
Guangdong,
China,
we brought
not
only our luggage, but also our village
rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is
that young
people should always
respect(
尊敬
) elders.
Unluckily, this rule led to my very first
embarrassment
in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a
waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I
was serving food to a
middle-aged
couple, the wife asked me how the food could be
served so quickly. I told her that I
had made sure they got their food
quickly because I always respect the elderly. As
soon as I said
that, her face showed
great displeasure. My manager, who happened to
hear what I said, took
me
aside
and
gave
me
a
long
lecture
about
how
sensitive(
敏感
)
Americans
are
and
how
they
dislike
the description
“
old
”
.
I then walked back to the table and apologized to
the wife. After
the
couple
heard
my
reason,
they
understood
that
the
problem
was
caused
by
cultural
differences, so
they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are
proud of being old. Not so many people live to be
seventy or
eighty,
and
people
who
reach
such
an
age
have
the
most
knowledge
and
experience.
Young
people always respect older people
because they know they can learn from their rich
experience.
However, in the
United States, people think “growing old” is a
problem since “old” shows that a
person
is
going
to
retire
or
that
the
body
is
not
working
well.
Here
many
people
try
to
keep
themselves
away
from
growing
old
by
doing exercises
or
jogging,
and women
put
on
makeup,
hoping
to look young. When I told the couple in the
restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got
angry because this caused them to feel
they had failed to stay young. I had told them
something
they didn
’t want
to hear.
After that, I
changed the way I had been with older people. It
is not that I don’t respect them
anymore; I still respect them, but now
I don’t show my feelings through words.

Jean
is
a
bright
young
woman
who
comes
from
a rich
and
famous
family.
She
goes
to
a
good
university
and has everything that money can buy. Well,
almost everything. The problem is that
the people in Jean’s family are so busy
that they can hardly find time to be with her. In
fact, Jean
is quite lonely.
So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ.
She likes being
anonymous(
匿名
), talking to
people who
do not know about her famous
family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda
on QQ and has
made a lot of friends who
she keeps in touch with quite often.
Last year Jean made a very special
friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San
Francisco.
David was full of stories
and jokes. He and Jean had a
common(
共同的
) interest in rock
music and
modern
dance.
So
it
always
took
them
hours
to
talk
happily
on
QQ
and
sometimes
they even
forgot their time. Of course, they
wanted to know more about each other. David sent a
picture of
himself: He was a tall,
good-looking young man with a big, happy smile. As
time went by, they
became good friends
and often sent cards and small things to each
other.
When Jean’s father
told her that he was going on a business trip to
San Francisco, she asked him
to let her
go with him so that she could give David a
surprise for his birthday. She would take him
the
latest
DVD
of
their
favorite
rock
singer.
But
when
she
knocked
on
David’s
door
in
San
Francisco,
she found that her special friend was a twelve-
year-old boy named Jim!

Linda Evans was my best
friend
—
like the sister I
never had. We did everything together: piano
lessons, movies, swimming, horseback
riding.
When I was 13, my
family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch
through letters, and we saw
each
other
on
special
time
—
like
my
wedding

婚礼

Linda
’
s.

we

came
back, stamped
“
Address
(
地址
) Unknown.
”
I had no idea
how to find Linda.
Over the
years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share
(
分享
) happiness of my
children and
then grandchildren. And I
needed to share my sadness when my brother and
then mother died.
There was an empty
place in my heart that only a friend like Linda
could fill.
One day I was
reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a
young woman who looked very
much
like
Linda
and
whose
last
name
was
Wagman
—
Linda’s
married
name.
“There
must
be
thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but J
still wrote to her.
She
called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!”
she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is
my mother. ”
Minutes later I heard a voice that I
knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and
cried and
caught up on each other’s
lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled.
And there’s one thing
that Linda
an
d I know for sure: We won’t lose each
other again!

stomach. After

him carefully, he said to him, “Well, there’s
nothing really wrong with
you

the bills any more. He took my
advice and when he came to see me again two days

I worked for a short time
as a cashier(
出纳员
) at a
restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to
clean up the tables when it was very
busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a
large black
wallet on the floor near
one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to
find out who was the
owner, but I was
very busy at the time. And I imagined that if
there was something
valuable(
有价
值的
) in
the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough,
an hour later a man came up to the
counter and asked if anyone had found a
wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet,
and after
he described it exactly, I
gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when
I handed it to him. He
asked me
i
f I had opened it, and when I told him
“no”. At once he opened it and showed that
i
t
had nearly $$ 800 in
cash(
现金
). He took out a
twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was
amazed at this.
“
A
reward(
酬劳
) for your
honesty,
”
he said
and then turned and walked away.
Thinking about it later, I began
wondering whether I would have been honest if I
had known what
was in the wallet! I
thought that if I had no way to find the owner and
no one returned to get it, I
might keep
it. But it also came into my mind t
hat
I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by
finding
and
returning
the
wallet.
The
good
feeling
it
gave
me
was
worth
more
than
anything
could buy.

A friend of mine named Paul
received an expensive car from his brother as a
Christmas present.
On Christmas Eve
when Paul came out of his office, a street
urchin(
顽童
) was walking
around the
shining car.
“
Is this your car,
sir?
”
he asked.
Paul answered,
“
Yes, my brother gave it to
me for Christmas.
”
The boy was surprised.
“
You
mean your
brother gave it to you and it did cost you
nothing? Sir, I wish
…”
He hesitated(
犹豫
).
Paul
thought
of
course
he
knew
what
the
boy
wanted,
but
what
the
boy
said
surprised
him
greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on,
“that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked
at the boy in
surprise, and then he
said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my
car?” “Oh yes, I’d love to,”
the boy
answered.
After a short ride, the boy
turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir,
would you mind d
riving in
front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he
knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his
neighbors
that he could ride home in a
big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop
where those two
steps are?” the boy
asked.
He ran up to the
steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming
back, but he was not coming
fast. He
was carrying his little
crippled(
残疾的
) brother. He
sat down on the step and pointed to
the
car.
“
There he
is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His
brother gave it to him for Christmas and it
didn’t cost him a cent. And some day
I’m going to give you one just like it…then you
can see for
yourself all the nice
things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been
trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the
front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder
brother climbed
in beside him and the
three began an unforgettable holiday ride.

We know the mosquito very well.
Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found
almost all over
the world, and there
are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the
mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes,
she. It
’
s
true
that male mosquito doesn
’
t
bite(
咬
) and only the female
mosquito bites because she needs
blood
to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or
people she wants to bite. If she likes what
she finds, she bites. But if she
doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone
else for more
delicious blood. Next
time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are
chosen. You’re differen
t
from the others!
If
the
mosquito
likes
you,
she
lands
on
your
body
without
letting
you
know.
She
bites
you
so
quickly
and
quietly
that
you
may
not
feel
anything
different.
After
she
bites,
you
will
have
an
itch(
痒
) on your
body because she puts something from her mouth
together with your blood. By
the time
the itching begins, and she has flown away.
And then what happens?
Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito
feels tired. She just wants
to find a
place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a
wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of
eggs.

he
left
money
to
provide
prizes

An eight-year-old child heard her
parents talking about her little brother. All she
knew was that he
was very sick and they
had no money. Only a very expensive operation
could save him now and
there was no one
to lend them the money.
When she heard
her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a
miracle can save him now,” the little
girl went to her bedroom and pulled her
money from its hiding place and counted it
carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore
(
药店
) with the money in her
hand.
“
And
what
do
you
want?”
asked
the
salesman.
“It’s
for
my
little
brother,”
the
girl
answered.
“He’s really, really sick and I want to
buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the
salesman.
“
My
brother
Andrew
has
something
bad
growing
inside
his
head
and
my
daddy
says
only
a
miracle
can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m
sorry,” the salesman said with a
smile.
“
Listen,
if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more.
Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-
dressed man heard it
and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your
brother need?”
“
I
don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of
tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs
an operation. But my daddy can’t pay
for it, so
I have brought
all my money.”
“
How
much
do
you
have?”
asked
the
man.
“$$
1.11,
but
I
can
try
and
get
some
more,”
she
answered.
“
Well,
what luck,” smiled the man. “$$ 1.11, the price of
a miracle for little brothers.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said,
“Ta
ke me to where you live. I want to
see your brother and
meet your parents.
Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you
need.”
That well-dressed man
was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The
operation was successful
and it wasn’t
long before Andrew was
home again.

People often
say, “Children can’t do math problem,
it’s because parents can’t do their children’s
homework.” Here’s an example to show
what I mean.
The other day
my daughter brought home her math homework.
“
I have to subtract
(
减
) 179
from
202,
”
she said.
“
It’s
quite
easy,” I said. “You
put the 202 over the 179.”
“
But we need a 10 here.
Where is the 10?”
“
I
don’t
know where
the 10
is. Let’s
just
subtract
179 from 202.
Nine
from
two
is
three.
You
carry one and add it to seven. Eight
from zero is two. The answer is 23.”
“
We can’t do it that way. We
have to use the 10.”
“
Well, I’m going to call
your teacher to see how she subtracts 179 from
202.”
Over the telephone, I
said that I was having a bit of trouble with the
homework she had given to
my daughter.
The teacher said,
“
In the
right-hand column (
栏
) we
have units of one. The two in
that
column
counts
for
two
ones.
The
zero
in
the
center
counts
for
zero
tens.
The
two
in
the
left-
hand column counts for
hundreds. Are you clear?” But I didn’t think I was
clear.
I hung up and found
my way to the medicine box. My head was now
hurting. I started putting
pills of
medicine into my mouth. “How many did you take?”
my wife asked. “I took one and then I
took another…I know one and one was
two, but don’t ask me what it is now.”
98. The daughter wanted
______ the other day.

Now satellites are helping to
forecast(
预报
) the weather.
They are in space, and they can reach
any part of the world. The satellites
take pictures of the atmosphere
(
大气
), because this is where
the
weather
forms
(
形
成
).
They
send
these
pictures
to
the
weather
stations.
So
meteorologists(
气象学家
) can see the weather of any part
of the world. From the pictures, the
scientists can often say how the
weather will change.
Today,
nearly
five
hundred
weather
stations
in
sixty
countries
receive
satellite
pictures.
When
they receive new
pictures, the meteorologists compare them with
earlier ones. Perhaps they may
find
that the clouds have changed during the last few
hours. This may mean that the weather on
the ground may soon change, too. In
their next weather forecast, the meteorologists
can say this.
So the
weather satellites are a great help to the
meteorologists. Before satellites were invented,
the
scientists
could
forecast
the
weather
for
about
24or
48
hours.
Now
they
can
make
good
forecasts for three or five days. Soon,
perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather
for a
week or more ahead
(
提前
).
113. Satellites travel
__________.
A. in space
B. above space
C. above the ground
D. in the atmosphere
114.
Why
do
we
use
the
weather
satellites
to
take
pictures
of
the
atmosphere
？
Because
_______.
A. clouds form there B. the weather
forms there
C. the weather
satellites can do it easily D. the pictures can
forecast the weather
115. Meteorologists forecast the
weather _______.
A. without
studying satellite pictures
B. before they receive satellite
pictures
C. when they have
received satellite pictures
D. after they have compared the new
satellite pictures with the earlier ones
116
.
Maybe we’ll soon be able to
forecast
the weather for _________.
A. one day B. two days
C. five days D. seven days or even
longer
117. The
main idea of this passage is that satellites are
now used in __________.
A.
taking pictures of the earth B. receiving pictures
of the atmosphere
C.
weather forecasting D. doing other works in many
ways

There was once a man called Mr.
Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He
spent all his
free time in one of his
four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color,
with long and difficult
names, for
competitions (
比赛
). He tried
to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver
cup (
银杯
)
for the
Rose of the Year.
Mr.
Flowers
’
glass-houses were
very near to a middle school. Boys of around
thirteen of age were
often tempted
(
引诱
) to throw a stone or two
at one of Mr. Flowers
’
glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers
did his
best to be in or near his glass-houses at the
beginning and end of the school day.
But it was not always possible to be on
watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in
many ways
to
protect
his
glass,
but
nothing
that
he
had
done
had been
useful.
He
had
been
to
school
to
report to the headmaster;
but this had not done any good. He had tried to
drive away the boys
that threw stones
into his garden; but the boys could run faster
than he could, and they laughed
at him
from far away. He had even picked up all the
stones that he could find around his garden,
so that the boys would have nothing to
throw; but they soon found others.
At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He
put up a large notice (
布告
)
made of good, strong wood,
some
meters
away
from
the
glass-houses.
On
it
he
had
written
the
words:
DO
NOT
THROW
STONES AT THIS NOTICE.
After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble;
the boys were much more
tempted to
throw stones at the notice than at the glass-
houses.
118
. It was Mr. Flowers’
hope to ________.
A. build
glass-houses in his free time
B. grow
the Rose of the Year in a silver cup
C.
win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new color
D. grow a rose with the longest name
119. Boys were often
tempted to ________.
A.
throw stones at Mr. Flowers’
glass
-house
B. throw stones
at Mr. Flowers from their school
C. be
in or near by Mr. Flowers’ glass
-houses
D. play with Mr. Flowers near his
glass-houses
120. Mr.
Flowers stayed in or near by his glass-houses
_______.
A. at times when
school-boys were walking near them
B.
all the school day when there were no boys about
C. where he could not be seen by the
boys passing
D. in his free time at the
beginning and end of the school day
121. Mr. Flowers had tried to ______ to
protect his glass.
A. be on
watch in his free time B. ask the headmaster for
help
C. pick up all the stones around
his garden D. do all the above
122
. Mr. Flowers’ good idea
was to ______.
A. write
some words on the glass
B. put up a
large notice to cover his glass-houses
C. give the boys something else to
throw stones at
D. send for policemen

Napoga is a
12-year-old girl in
Ghana(
加纳
), Africa. It is
hard for her family to get clean water.
Every morning, she leaves home at half
past five to get clean water for her family in a
village far
away. It takes her six
hours to get enough clean water for
daily(
日常
) cooking and
drinking. She
has no time to go to
school or to play with her friends. Millions of
people in the world are like
Napoga.
They can
’
t get enough clean
water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other
days, we must also remember it. The water we use
is the
most important natural
resource(
自然资源
) on the earth.
Water covers 70% of the
earth
’
s
surface(
表面
). But most of
that is sea water. We can
’
t
use it for
very many things. Fresh
water covers only 1% of the
earth
’
s surface.
You pr
obably feel lucky that
your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s. But that
doesn’t mean you don’t
have to worry
about water. We all face serious water problems.
One of them is water pollution.
All
kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and
homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty.
Polluted water is very bad for people
to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too.
Now, 34% of all
kinds of fish are dying
out.
How do cars and
factories make our water dirty? First, they
pollute the air. Then, when it rains,
the rain water comes down and makes our
drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid
rain(
酸雨
),
is also
bad for plants, animals and buildings.
Scientists say that in 30 years, more
than half of the people in the world won’t have
enough clean
water. We have to learn
how to save more water for ourselves and our
children. Here is some
advice for
saving water:
●
Turn
off
the
water
while you
brush
your
teeth.
You
can
save
as
much
as
450
liters(
升
)
each
month.
●
Leaky
taps(
漏水的龙头
) waste a lot of
water. Fix them right away!
●
You can easily cut your
10-minute showers(
沐浴
) in
half
—
and
you
’
ll be just as clean.
●
When you wash
dishes, don
’
t let the water
run.
●
Only
wash
clothes
when
you
have
a
lot
to
wash.
If
your
washing
machine
isn
’
t
full,
you
’
re
wasting water!

Waste can be seen
everywhere in the school. Some students ask for
more food than they can eat
and others
often forget to turn off the lights when they
leave the classroom. They say they can
afford these things. But I don’t agree
with them.
Waste can bring
a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some
resources(
资源
), we are short
of(
缺乏
) others,
for example, fresh
water(
淡水
). It is reported
that we will have no coal(
煤
)
or oil
to
use
in
100
years.
So
if
we
go
on wasting
our resources, what
can
we
use
in
the
future
and
where can we move? Think about it. I
think we should say no to the students who waste
things
every day. Everybody should stop
wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many
things to prevent waste from happening, for
example, turn
off
the
water
taps(
水龙头
)
when
we
finish
washing,
turn
off
the
lights
when
we
leave
the
classroom, try not to order more food
than we need, and so on. Little by little,
everything will be
changed. Waste can
be stopped one day, if we do our best.

Christmas
Eve
means
a
warm
get-together
with
friends,
a
candlelight
dinner,
or
perhaps
a
celebration at a
pub(
酒馆
) for students. But,
for Cai Yingjie, the night has a different
meaning:
helping
beggars(
乞丐
) and the
homeless(people without homes).
Cai,
who
is
a
student
in
journalism
at
Tsinghua,
could
be
found
at
Beijing’s
Wudaokou
Light
Railway Station that
special evening. When she saw an old beggar, she
took the cold, rough hands
of the woman
with her warm, clean hands, and gave the woman
some warm bread and helped
her put on a
pair of new gloves(
手套
).
The woman was surprised for
a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying
“
for the first time I feel <
/p>
respected(
尊重
)
”
.
Cai said, “A
beggar’s life is very hard. That’s why I want to
help them.”
