He greeted us every day with his smiling face. He us in going to the bank, in buying our groceries, in telling us to buy almost everything. He told us he is our big brother.
, We watched the match in a coffee shop. During the first get-together, he us that we’re lucky—my husband and I are in this foreign land. He said he has been for eight years now because he rarely sees his family， they are in his home country.
During the second get-together, he told us that we are his family. He said that he loves us and that he will us because he has been given a of 45 days to go back to his home country. That night, he spoke these words which a great impact in my life: “You changed my life…”
That night deep in our hearts we were by our friend’s words. We texted him upon reaching home, him for being a Big Brother to us in the foreign land. We told him that we feel safe in going out when we are with him, to which he , “You are my family here.”

There are stories about two US Presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don"t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting.
The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn"t know how to spell. So what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while，he shortened that term to “OK”．
The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York. Van Buren"s friends organized a club to help him become president. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”．
小题1:The author ________．| A．believes both of the stories | | B．doesn"t believe a word of the stories | | C．is not sure whether the stories are true | | D．is telling the stories just for fun |
小题2:According to the passage，President Jackson ________．| A．couldn"t draw up any documents at all | | B．wasn"t good at reading，writing or spelling | | C． often had his assistants sign documents for him | | D．didn"t like to read important papers by himself |
小题3:According to the first story, the term “OK”________．| A．was approved of by President Jackson | | B．was the title of some official documents | | C．was first used by President Jackson | | D．was an old way to spell “all correct” |
小题4:According to the second story，the term “OK” ________．| A．was the short way to say “Old Kinderhook Club” | | B．meant the place where President Van Buren was born | | C．was the name of Van Buren"s club | | D．was used to call Van Buren"s supporters in the election |

Adrian"s “Amazing Race” started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn"t hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearingimpaired (听觉受损的)，he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.
Later on, Adrian"s parents decided to send him to a regular school .But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular school couldn"t take care of a special student. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace(节奏) was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn"t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.
The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race—being the first hearingimpaired Asian to do so.
But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother. “If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results，” she often said.
小题1:How did Adrian communicate with other children in the special school?| A．By speaking. | | B．By using sign language. | | C．By reading lips. | | D．By making loud noises. |
小题2:Adrian"s parents decided to send him to a regular school because________．| A．they wanted him to live a normal life | | B．they wanted to prove the headmaster wrong | | C．he wouldn"t mix with other disabled children | | D．he wasn"t taken good care of in the special school |
小题3:How did Adrian finally succeed in his study? | A．He did a lot of outdoor activities. | | B．He was pushed hard to study every day. | | C．He attended private classes after school. | | D．He worked very hard both in and after class. |
小题4:Why is Adrian"s life described as an “Amazing Race”？| A．He did very well in his study. | | B．He succeeded in entering a regular school. | | C．He reached his goals in spite of his disability. | | D．He took part in the World Yacht Race. |

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.
What I most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to his family as cold. When we got into the to go home, his father suddenly appeared. , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I him.
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt . For example, I always return phone calls and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my . Over the years, however, I’ve learned to other persons, love signs.
