A Love Note To My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often follow you as you modeled (做模特) for fashion magazine. It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling   in your life. I know little that you were     every penny you earned to go to       school.
I cannot thank you enough for  you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I wandered into the dining room where you were buried   piles of law books. I was     .Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for    ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms     be lawyers too. You smiled and said,“In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
Though I was young, your words kept     in my ears. I watched as you faced the     of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a     and a Mom of five kids. I was tired just watching you     . With your wise words in my      mind, I suddenly felt free to dream. My whole world    . I set out to live my life filled with     , seeing endless possibilities for personal achievements.
Your words became my motto. I     found myself in the position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary)       one of the few women (top medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your     , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and      meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m     it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring    at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was    learning my lines. I was having trouble    my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously    giving up both acting and San Francisco.    had become too much for me.
As I walked down    streets under tall buildings, I felt very    and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned   , half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty.    I saw was a shining streetlight.   , the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run fast. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
  I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to    I’d heard the noise.    I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about    the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice    from the inside. “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an     look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked,    a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I    get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I    had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place    people were willing to help each other.

Rachel Carson, born in rural Pennsylvania in 1907, had a great impact on the environment. Carson earned a master’s degree in zoology in 1932. It was as a writer and not as a research scientist, however, that she made her mark, sharing her view that human beings are just one element in a larger natural order.
In the articles on natural history Carson wrote for various publications, she expressed dry facts in poetic and persuasive language. She wrote five books. Two of them, The Sea Around Us and The Edge of the Sea, have been called “biographies of the ocean.”
Carson also made the world aware of how scientific discoveries can harm as well as help living things. In her best-selling book Silent Spring, Carson challenged the profligate use of chemical pesticides by large agricultural and government organizations. She was the first to detail how the pesticide DDT had entered the food chain and damaged populations of bald eagles, falcons, and brown pelicans by causing the shells of their eggs to become so thin that they could not withstand the weight of the parent bird.
Carson died of cancer in 1964. Today, the Rachel Carson Council collects and disseminates (散播) information on pesticide-related issues. In 1970, the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge, a large area of salt marsh and freshwater habitat in Maine, was dedicated to her memory.
小题1:Which of the following words is closest to the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 3 ?
A.excessiveB.inadequateC.authoritativeD.efficient
小题2:Which of the following inferences is correct ?
A.Carson wrote books that the average person could understand.
B.Dangerous properties of new chemical products may be immediately apparent.
C.If not for Carson, no one would have learned about the dangers of DDT.
D.In 1970, large quantities of salt and freshwater were dedicated to Carson’s memory by the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge
小题3:Which of the statements below expresses the main idea of the passage ?
A.Writers have played an important role in the battle against pollution.
B.The scientist Rachel Carson taught people about environmental issues through her writing.
C.Carson’s book Silent Spring changed the way some pesticides were used.
D.Many of Carson’s books were about pesticide-related issues.

When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you ? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.
A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn’t my friend’s talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.
When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “ Your meal was already paid for .” My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you .” It felt like an angel was saying “I see you, honey. It’s going to be okay.”
Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall”. I thought I couldn’t move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?
小题1:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.The kindness of strangers.B.Valuable friendship .
C.Two special experiences .D.Helping others is worthwhile
小题2:Why did the author suffer when dining out with a friend?
A.Because she didn’t like the dishes.
B.Because she quarreled with her friend
C.Because her friend only talked about himself.
D.Because she was sad for her last relationship.
小题3:The underlined expression in the passage means “______”.
A.being hurt by the wallB.winning the game
C.taking a deep breathD.running out of energy

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn"t work out, you"ll have something to rely on.” Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls. 
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom, “I don"t know how to use a computer,” she admits. 
Unlike her 1995 autobiography(自传), After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,” she says. “I didn"t want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we"re self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.” 
But she hasn"t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up ---again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet. 
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, "why me?" about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn"t do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I"ve come to realize the importance of that as I"ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”
小题1:Why did Mary feel regretful? 
A.She didn"t achieve her ambition.
B.She didn"t take care of her mother.
C.She didn"t complete her high school.
D.She didn"t follow her mother"s advice.
小题2:We can know that before 1995, Mary __________.
A.had two books published
B.received many career awards
C.knew how to use a computer
D.supported the JDRF by writing
小题3:Mary"s second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her__________ . 
A.living with diabetesB.successful show business
C.service for an organizationD.remembrance of her mother
小题4:When Mary received the life-changing news, she_____________ . 
A.lost control of herself B.began a balanced diet
C.tried to get a treatment D.behaved in an adult way
小题5:What can we know from the last paragraph? 
A.Mary feels pity for herself.
B.Mary has recovered from her disease.
C.Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D.Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.
