Dear Laura,

I wanted to do something very     for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He     all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it       it looked almost new. I was so     of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit(全套装备).
I could      wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to       the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a        : “ To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so      . It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could        lessons. “ Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one ” was my husband’s      .
I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could        this expensive gift.
Of course, the        awoke, and my son was excited with my reaction. Many kisses were      , and I immediately wanted him to        my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not        what I was expecting. Then I      that he has sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.
Of course I was the proudest mother ever on that day, and my        never hit the ground for a month.
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still        and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you’d love to        this story.
Yours,
Hilary
The next day, my husband and I bought him a new “used” already shiny motorcycle.

2. When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games, Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them we always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, ”Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us .People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull her hair. she never barked(吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss days when she was with us.
【小题1】What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?

A．Look at them sadly.	B．Keep them company.

D．disliked the author’s dad

【小题3】Why does the author say that Brownie was more than just a family pet?

A．She was treated as a member of the family.

B．She played games with anyone she liked.

C．She was loved by everybody she met.

D．She went everywhere with the family.

【小题4】Which of the following best describes Brownie?

3. Don’t talk to me; I’m busy with my iPhone
Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That’s not rudeness—people are just too busy to bother looking.
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection, nor are they reading a book. New technology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book.
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（乘车上下班的人）. Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000—yes, that’s 40,000—“apps”（programs downloaded for the iPhone）have been designed.
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers. One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks（坦克）. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the “ steam” on your phone screen.
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be another choice. It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music—iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep youoccupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film. The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all this entertainments, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train.
【小题1】People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______.

A．they are busy reading books

B．they are not very polite

C．they are busy playing with their electronic equipment

D．thinking about their private things

【小题2】Those who like war games can download _____ to their iPhones.

A．Tube Exits	B．iPod
C．ISteam	D．iShoot

【小题3】The underlined word “occupied” in the last paragraph probably means _____.

A．delighted	B．amused
C．controlled	D．busy

【小题4】The article tells us that _____.

A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangers

B．technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time.

C．with all the new time-fillers, London commuters often forget to get off the train.

D．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 iPhones

4. Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate.” Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.
In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and nonsmokers performed equally well.
The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster， but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.
In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.
The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.
“As our tests became more complex.” Sums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at many jobs until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”
【小题1】The purpose of George Spilich’s experiments is _______.

A．to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokers

B．to show how smoking damages people’s mental capacity

C．to prove that smoking affects people’s regular performance

D．to find out whether smoking helps people’s short-term memory

【小题2】Which of the following statements is true?

A．Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.

B．Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.

C．Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.

D．Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.

【小题3】We can infer from the last paragraph that _______.

A．smokers should not expect to become airline pilots

B．smoking in emergency cases causes mental illness

C．no airline pilots smoke during flights

D．smokers may prove unequal to handing emergency cases

The young man saw the girl and tried to stop, and he drove too fast to stop. He hit the girl and fell off her motorbike. The girl was bad hurt and couldn’t move. The young man didn’t know how to do. I ran to a phone box nearby and dialed 110 to call for the police. Soon the police reached. They sent her to hospital at once.

【小题1】
It’s best to walk，bicycle，or use mass transit for your daily commuting，but for those who must use their own vehicles，improving the efficiency of your car’s fuel mileage(耗油量)is as easy as keeping your tires properly inflated and changing your oil and air filters if necessary．
【小题2】
Using cold water rather than hot water in the washer saves electricity and works just as well as hot water with most clothes．Line drying is not only more environmentally friendly，but it also will keep clothes from shrinking and fading．
【小题3】
If you’re headed to a restaurant that you know serves king-sized portions，bring a small piece of Tupperware along to take the leftovers home，so that you can keep one fewer styrofoma(泡沫塑料)container from the landfill pile．If you are going to a supermarket，bring your own canvas tote bags “Although many supermarket recycle used plastic bags，the process still requires much energy to be used to transport and process the materials，”says Malten．
【小题4】
Food grown or produced halfway around the world didn’t just appear in the supermarket-it was shipped by plane，boat，truck or rail，and no matter what kind of transportation it took，greenhouse gases were emitted along the way．Pick the apple grown in your state instead of the banana grown in another country．
【小题5】
It seems simple，but just，one tree can consume tons of carbon over its lifetime．If planted properly, it will also provide shade on a sunny day，perhaps reducing the use of energy for air-conditioning in buildings and homes：“While reducing energy will cut our carbon emissions，it is also important to restore more natural ‘sinks’ that capture carbon，” Malten says，“Planting trees is an easy place to start．’’
