Even as I write this story, I am still smiling. The past few weeks have been rather       , but when a large number of smile cards arrived in my mailbox the other day, having traveled from the United States to my home in the Netherlands, I knew things were about to         .
I          where to leave the cards: the train, benches at the station, libraries, mailboxes—the possibilities were         .
I woke up, went to work, and        , I went to the shop to buy some candy bars,         to leave them as anonymous (匿名的) gifts for people on the train.        , my train home was extremely         and I couldn’t find a place to leave the gifts. An elderly man must have        me searching for a place to leave them, because he asked me if I was          something.
Right then I          that my first smile card would not be anonymous. With a big smile, I told him that I found what I was looking for,         him the candy bar and a card. He had only just finished reading the card          I arrived at my          and got off the train, but he was still smiling and         his candy as I waved at him from the        .
Despite having worked for a full day, I         bounced (跳) home. Before I entered my         , I delivered a few more smile cards and candy bars to people’s mailboxes. I added a(n)          candy bar for a neighbor who was in a difficult financial situation, but worked hard every day to get the very best for his young son. I figured they both        a tasty little treat.

At the age of 16, Clara Barton was advised to become a teacher, since she was quite shy. She taught in Massachusetts for ten years, and was invited to Bordentown, New Jersey, to teach in a private school. She saw personally that these communities needed free education for their citizens, and she responded by creating a free school, one of the first in her state. Later, officials ignored her and appointed a male as principal instead. She resigned and moved to Washington DC, becoming the first woman employed by the U. S. Patent Office. 
Clara Barton was forever changed by her experience with the troops in the Civil War. She saw surgeons dressing wounds with cornhusks(玉米叶), since they had nothing else. The medical supplies for the Army were well behind the troops, who were moving faster than their medical supply lines. She brought in a wagon of bandages and medical supplies that she had collected personally beforehand. Barton continued to work on the battlefields throughout the war. 
She helped in the identification process of 13,000 dead Union soldiers. Afterward, she was an important figure in a campaign to identify missing soldiers from the Civil War. This non-stop work debilitated her, and upon recommendation by her physicians, she traveled to Europe to recover herself.
While in Europe, and still in poor health Miss Barton was moved by the hardship on civilians brought about by the France-Prussia war. She helped in their relief effort, and in that work she was inspired to create the Red Cross, which served all troops and civilians. 
Clara Barton returned to America and then began the establishment of the American Red Cross. The US government did not think there would ever be another war, after the horror of the Civil War. But she convinced them that the Red Cross would be valuable to serve in times of natural disasters, as well. This was her lasting legacy(遗产), an agency that still provides aid to victims today.
小题1:What does this text mainly tell us about?
A.The establishment of the American Red Cross.
B.A general introduction of Clara Barton’s life.
C.Clara Barton’s contribution to the Red Cross.
D.Clara Barton’s service in the army.
小题2:Why did Clara give up her job in the free school?
A.Because officials didn’t make her principal.
B.Because she wanted to work in a Patent Office.
C.Because she wanted to serve in the army.
D.Because she was not satisfied with the pay.
小题3:The underlined word “debilitated” in the third paragraph means        .
A.rewardedB.satisfiedC.disturbedD.weakened
小题4:What is the greatest contribution made by Clara Barton?
A.She set up a free school.
B.She collected supplies for the army.
C.She identified missing soldiers.

I was now in my twenty third year of residence in this island and was accustomed to the place and to the manner of living. If it had not been the savages(野人)who had come to the place to disturb me, I could have been content to spent the rest of my time there, even to the last moment, till I had laid me down and died, like the old goat in the cave.
I had also arrived to some little recreations and amusements, which made the time pass more pleasantly with me a great deal than it did before.
At first, I had taught my Poll to speak. And he did it so familiarly and talked so clearly and plain that it was very pleasant to me. And he lived with me no less than twenty six years. How long he might live afterwards, I don’t know; though I know they have an idea in Brazil that they live a hundred years. Perhaps poor Poll may be alive there still, calling Poor Robin Crusoe to this day. I wish no other English man had the bad luck to go there and hear him. But if he did, he would certainly believe it was the devil(魔鬼).
My dog was a very pleasant and loving companion to me, for no less than sixteen years of my time, and then died of mere old age.
As for my cats, they multiplied to that degree that I had to shoot several of them at first to keep them from eating up all I had.
Besides these, I had two more parrots which talked pretty well and would all call Robin Crusoe, but none like my first. Nor indeed did I take the pains with any of them that I had done with him.
I had also several sea-fowls, whose names I don’t know, that I caught upon the shore and cut their wings. And the little stakes which I had planted before my castle wall being now grown up to a good thick bush, these fowls all lived among these low trees and bred there, which was very agreeable to me; so that as I said above, I began to be well content with the life I led if not worried about the threat from the savages.
小题1:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Robin Crusoe treated animals kindly.
B.Robin Crusoe led a hard life on the island.
C.The animals raised by Robin Crusoe brought him much pleasure.
D.The savages always spoiled Robin Crusoe’s happy life.
小题2:How many parrots did Robin Crusoe mention in this passage?
A.2B.3C.4D.5
小题3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A.Robin’s dog may be still alive on the island.
B.Robin Crusoe lived in harmony with savages.
C.Robin Crusoe met an English man while on the island.
D.Parrots raised by Robin could talk very well.
小题4:What is the “sea-fowl” mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.A bird living on the coast.
B.A fish living in the sea.
C.A creature without a name
D.An animal feeding on tree leaves.

British writer John Bunyan was born at Elstow, Bedfordshire, England, in November, 1628. His father was a maker and mender of pots and kettles, and the son followed the same trade. Though he is usually called a tinker, Bunyan had a settled home and place of business. He had little schooling, and he describes his early surroundings as poor and mean. He became much interested in religions, but it was only after a tremendous spiritual conflict, lasting three or four years, that he found peace. His struggles are related with extraordinary vividness and intensity in his “Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.” His writing began with a controversy against the Quakers (教友派), and shows from the first the command of a homely but vigorous style.
Like most working men at the time, Bunyan had a deep hatred for the corrupted, hypocritical rich who accumulated their wealth “by hook and by crook.” As a stout Puritan(清教徒), he had made a conscientious study of the Bible and firmly believed in salvation (拯救) through spiritual struggle.
Bunyan’s style was modeled after that of the English Bible. With his concrete and living language and carefully observed and vividly presented details, he made it possible for the reader of the least education to share the pleasure of reading his novel and to relive the experience of his characters.
Bunyan’s works include Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners (1666), The Life and Death of Mr. Badman (1680), The Holy War (1682) and The Pilgrim’s Progress (1684).
The Pilgrim’s Progress is the most successful religious allegory (寓言) in the English language. Its purpose is to urge people to observe Christian doctrines and seek salvation through constant struggle with their own weaknesses and all kinds of social evils. It is not only about something spiritual but also bears much relevance to the time. Its predominant metaphor — life as a journey — is simple and familiar. The objects that Christian meets are homely and commonplace, and the scenes presented are typical English ones, but throughout the allegory a spiritual significance is added to the commonplace details. Here the strange is combined with the familiar and the trivial joined to the divine, and, a rich imagination and a natural talent for storytelling also contribute to the success of the work which is at once entertaining and morally instructive.
“The Vanity Fair,” is an excerpt from The Pilgrim’s Progress. The story starts with a dream in which the author sees Christian the Pilgrim, with a heavy burden on his back, reading the Bible. When he learns from the book that the city in which he and his family live shall be burnt down in a fire, Christian tries to convince his family and his neighbors of the oncoming disaster and asks them to go with him in search of salvation, but most of them simply ignore him. So he starts off with a friend, Pliable. Pliable turns back after they stumble into a pit, the Slough of Despond. Christian struggles on by himself. Then he is misled by Mr. Wordly Wiseman and is brought back onto the right road by Mr. Evangelist. There he joins Faithful, a neighbor who has set out later but has made better progress. The two go on together through many adventures, including the great struggle with Apollyon, who claims them to be his subjects and refuse to accept their allegiance to God. After many other adventures they come to the Vanity Fair where both are arrested as alien agitators. They are tried and Faithful is condemned to death. Christian, however manages to escape and goes on his way, assisted by a new friend, Hopeful. Tired of the hard journey, they are tempted to take pleasant path and are then captured by Giant Despair. Finally they got away and reach the Celestial City, where they enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.
小题1:According to the passage, Bunyan hated the rich people mainly because ______.
A.his father was making and mending pots and kettles
B.Bunyan had poor and mean early surroundings
C.the rich usually got their wealth in dishonest ways
D.Bunyan studied the Bible to save the human souls
小题2:What are the main characteristics of Bunyan’s works?
① The languages are concrete and living.
② The stories are carefully and vividly described. 
③ The plots are romantic and twisting.
④ The works are easy to understand.
A.①②③B.②③④C.①③④D.①②④
小题3:John Bunyan wrote the book The Pilgrim’s Progress in order to ______.
A.advise people to obey religious principles for salvation
B.tell people that life is a simple and familiar journey
C.add spiritual significance to the commonplace details
D.to combine the strange things with the familiar things
小题4:What moral does the story of the last paragraph convey to us?
A.Any imaginable things might happen in a pilgrim’s dream.
B.Christian the Pilgrim likes reading the Bible with a burden.
C.People can struggle against weaknesses and evils for salvation
D.People can enjoy eternal life in the fellowship of the blessed.
