BOOM! I lifted my head suddenly and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my beating wildly trying to find the cause of the . My young professor was looking at me with a boyish（孩子气的）smile on his face. He had deliberately dropped the textbooks he was carrying onto his desk. “Good morning!”, he said still . “I am glad to see everyone is awake. Now let’s get started. ”
For the next hour I wasn’t sleepy at all. It wasn’t from the of my professor’s textbook alarm clock either. It was instead from the fascinating discussion he led. With knowledge and good he made the material come alive. His insight was full of both wisdom and loving-kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy that he with were contagious（有感染力的）. I the classroom not only wide awake, but a little smarter and a little better as well.

[详细]举一反三
My parents influenced us with the concepts of family, faith and love for one’s motherland when l was young．Even though we struggled to make ends meet, they stressed how fortunate we were to live in a great country with limitless opportunities．
I got my first real job when l was ten．My dad, Benjamin, injured his back working in a cardboard - box factory and was retrained as a hairstylist．He rented space in a little mall and gave his shop the fancy name of Mr．Ben"s Coiffure．
The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three nights a week, which meant getting up at 3 a.m. to pick up rubbish. Dad used a little machine that looked like a lawn mower．Mom and I emptied rubbish cans and picked up rubbish by hand．It took two to three hours to clean the lot．I"d s1eep in the car on the way home. I did this for two years, but the lessons I learned have lasted a lifetime, I acquired discipline(自制力) and a strong work morality(道德), and learned at an early age the importance of balancing life"s competing interests---in my case, school, homework and a job．This really helped during my senior year of high school, when l worked 40 hours a week flipping hamburgers at a fast–food joint while taking a full load of college-prepared courses．The hard work paid off．I attended the U．S．Military Academy and went on to receive graduate degree in law and business from Harvard．Later, I joined a big Los Angeles law firm and was elected to the California state committee．In these jobs and in everything else I’ve done, I have never forgotten those nights in the parking lot．The experience taught me that there is dignity in all work and that if people are working to provide for themselves and their families, that is something we should honor．
小题1:According to the text, the author thinks .| A．he is lucky to have many chances to get a job | | B．it is difficult to find a job to make ends meet | | C．his parents are full of complaint about their life | | D．it is not acceptable to live in such bad conditions |

小题3:Which of the following is NOT true of the author?| A．He got the graduate degrees from Harvard． | | B．He took a college - prep courses at high school． | | C．He took a part-time job during his senior year． | | D．He regretted having worked in the parking lot． |

I grew up in Jamaica Plain. My best friend Rose and I used to dream about raising a family of our own someday and living next door to one another.
Our dream remained alive through school and beyond. Rose was my maid of honor when I married Dick. Later, Dick was stationed in Alaska and we moved. Rose was sad to see me leave, but wished me the best of luck. We remained in touch for a few years before we lost track.
I thought of her several times over the years. All of my children now have families of their own, and Dick passed away a few years ago. Basically, a lifetime has passed. Then one day, near my 80th birthday, I received a phone call “Hi Natalie, it’s Rose,” the voice on the other end said, “ I don’t know if you remember me, but we used to be best friends in Jamaica Plain when we were kids.”
We have spent hours on the phone catching up. Even after 52 years of separation our personalities and interests are still extremely similar. We both share a passion for several hobbies that we each picked up independently several years after we lost touch with one another. It almost feels like we are picking up right where we left off.
Her husband died a few years ago as well, but she mailed me several photographs of her family that were taken over the years. It’s so crazy, just looking at the photos and listening to her description of her family reminds me of my own: a reasonably large, healthy family. Part of me feels like we led fairly similar lives.
I don’t think the similarities between our two lives are a coincidence either. I think it shows that we didn’t just call each other best friend; we truly were best friends and even now we can be best friends again. Real friends have two things in common: a compatible(相容的)personality and a strong-willed character. The compatible personality is what starts the connection between two people. A strong-willed character at both ends is what maintains the connection. If those two ingredients are present in a friendship, the friendship is for real, It can pass the tests of time and long distance between one another and will never disappear
小题1:From the passage we may know that the author .| A．lived next door to Rose in her childhood | | B．was Rose’s maid of honor when she was married | | C．lost touch of Rose since she moved to Alaska | | D．missed her friend although they lost contact |
小题2:After 52 years of separation, they .| A．had a lot to talk on the phone | | B．sent each other photographs of their family | | C．they lived the same life | | D．developed different personalities and hobbies |
小题3:The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to .| A．Rose’s description | | B．coincidence | | C．best friend | | D．the similarities between our two lives |
小题4:The author thinks that .| A．the similarities between their lives are coincident | | B．although they’re not best friends, they have much in commom. | | C．they both have a compatible personality and a strong-willed character | | D．only those who have similar characters can be real friends |

Over the last six years I have learned what patience is. Growing up I did not have this virtue（优点）and it is a very important virtue to have. Now I can see that if you are patient you will almost always get what you want if you are supposed to have it. I gained patience when I lost my freedom. I knew that I would eventually get it back in time.
I was locked up in prison for a period of six years because at 19 years old I was playing with a handgun and I accidentally shot and killed my friend. The first couple of years was the hardest.I was always stressed out about everything.Time was dragging by because I was always paying attention to it.While I was locked up，Tom who I talked to helped put this virtue in me.He told me that it was possible that he would never make it home but that being patient and believing that one day he would was what had made him feel better.After a while I realized why he said a lot of things to me.Once I stopped paying attention to the days and just kept in mind that I would get freedom，it seemed that my time passed quickly.
Now I am home and can see that patience paid off for me. I now use this virtue in my daily activities. I know that sometimes life gets hard and that it will pay in the end to stay patient and not to get discouraged. So if you are having a hard time in life，be patient and it will eventually work out one way or another.

After a terrible electrical accident，which caused him to become both blind and deaf，the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family，especially his wife，did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon，he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet，but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he could hardly believe what he saw——a plough and a wall. When Mrs Edwards came running up to him，shouting to their neighbors to call for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread，and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However，none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that，since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of sudden shock，perhaps，the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.

小题2:What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?| A．Sheltering for the rain under a tree. | | B．Driving a car. | | C．Taking a walk with a stick. | | D．Lying on the ground. |
小题3:What did Robert see first when he regained his sight after the shock?| A．His wife. | B．His neighbours. | C．A plough and a wall. | D．Many doctors. |
小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?| A．Robert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years. | | B．Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes. | | C．Robert could hear his wife"s shouting for help when he woke up. | | D．The family"s love helped Robert regain confidence to live. |
小题5:We can infer from the text that________.| A．there was no accurate explanation for Robert"s recovery | | B．many doctors came because Robert was badly injured | | C．Robert"s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shock | | D．a sudden injury in the head led to Robert"s recovery |
