One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was expecting a quiet  36 of the splendid artwork.
A young  37 viewing the paintings ahead of me  38 nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking. I admired the man"s  39 for putting up with her  40 stream of words.  41 by their noise, I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved  42 the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away  43  .
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a  44 when the couple approached the    45  .Before they left, the man  46 into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He  47 it into a long stick and then  48 his way into the coatroom to get his wife"s jacket.
“He"s a  49 man.” the clerk at the counter said. “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn"t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in  50 there is a new art show.”
“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can"t see.”
“Can"t see! You"re  51 . He sees a lot. More than you and I do,” the clerk said. “His wife 52 each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something about patience,   53 and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without  54 and the courage of a husband who would not  55 blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, their arms intertwined.

Edgar felt quite excited at the thought of his first swim of the summer. With the sun shining down so strongly, the sea was certain to be warm enough. He walked quickly along the sea-front towards the steps that led on to the sands. He smiled cheerfully at the passersby. He had just smiled and raised his hat to an elderly lady when a man with a camera caught his arm and stopped him. Edgar heard a little buzzing noise from the camera.
“Your photograph, sir, in glorious colour in just one moment if you please,” said the man in one breath. Then the buzzing stopped, and he held the photograph in his hand and was waving it to and fro. In a
moment he handed it over, and Edgar saw the bright blue splash of his shirt half filling the picture.
“Seventy pence, sir,” the man said. “It’s the bargain of your holiday.”
“Seventy pence,” Edgar repeated, mildly. “For this?” He stared at the photographer.
“They’re normally eighty-five, sir, but for a single subject I make a cut-price offer. It’s the best value you’ll get in Chadwell.”
“You’ll have to make a better offer,” Edgar said. It was a good photo though, he thought, so bright and clear. His hat was held high, and he was smiling broadly at the old lady, whose arm and handbag came into a lower corner. He had had no idea that he was being snapped. He thought he was really quite a good-looking chap.
“That’s as good as any studio job that would cost you pounds,” said the cameraman. “It’s better in a way because it’s so natural. Only seventy pence, sir.”
“I’ve never paid so much for a snap in my life. It simply isn’t worth that kind of money. It’s not as if I need the thing. Look, I’ll give you twenty-five.”
“No, I can’t do that. Each of these instant colour shots costs me 50p — that’s the price of the blank frame, so you see…”
“Criminal, criminal,” Edgar broke in. “You want a profit of forty per cent. Well, not at my expense, I’m afraid. I’ll give you your 50p and that’s that.”
“Let me see, then.” The man suddenly took the photograph out of Edgar’s hand. “I can’t waste any more time with you. It’s 70p or I keep it.”
“Keep it,” Edgar said. He turned, looked out to the sea, and then walked quickly away.
小题1:Why do you suppose Edgar was in Chadwell?
A.It was his hometown.
B.He was there on holiday.
C.He was in the making of a film.
D.He was there to have his photograph taken.
小题2:Edgar smiled at and raised his hat to the lady because ________.
A.he thought he recognized her
B.he wanted the photograph to be amusing
C.she was having her photograph taken
D.he was feeling excited and cheerful
小题3: The photographer lowered his price to 70p because __________.
A.Edgar wanted to bargain for the photo
B.Edgar couldn’t afford to pay the normal price
C.Edgar was the only person in the photo
D.there was only one copy of the photo
小题4:What did Edgar think of the photo?
A.He thought it made him look like a criminal.
B.He liked it but thought it was too dear.
C.It annoyed him because he hadn’t expected it.
D.He thought it was a bargain at the price.
小题5:We can infer from the passage that _______ .
A.Edgar was an indifferent but good-looking man
B.Edgar smiled at the photographer because he was being photographed
C.the photographer was actually a criminal
D.Edgar didn’t buy the snap at length.

It was 20 years ago. I was driving home with my 4-year-old son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along   36  the song playing on the radio. I   37   at the intersection(交叉路口) and looked both ways. The road was   38 . I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the curve at high speed and came straight at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car  39 the engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾驰) past my dead car  40  me by inches without even slowing down.
  41  I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying from my lips,   42  after the car and its driver. I then saw my son who was staring up at me   43 . With a red face and a(an)   44  smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home.
Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard certain  45 words coming from my son’s bedroom. He was replaying the   46  over and over in his mind. Too   47  I realized the   48  of those words that had   49  from my lips in that moment of anger. It took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my son to undo (消除)the   50  of that incident.
That  51  , however, did teach me just how strong words  52  be. It helped me to decide to stop swearing (咒骂) in my own life and to start using words uplifting and   53   instead. I slowly realized that language is a gift from God and should be used to make our world better but not worse. I learned   54  that a few loving words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a   55  spirit, and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of love, joy, happiness, and light.

A month after Hurricane Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans. There lay my house, reduced towaist-high ruins, smelly and dirty.
Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill,she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?”she asked I said I was, “No charge.”She said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing happened.
As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage (抵押贷款〉on our mined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d began to accept that we*d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kemmedy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for State, the online magazine  and wanted to give us (""no conditions attached’)a new house across thelake from New Orleans.
It sounded too good to be true, but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional generosity, that we had no plan to go back. Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to let his house to me, while he went to England on his one-year paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kemdedy, and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months.
Throughout this painful experience, the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity. It’s almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance.
小题1:The garage employee’s attitude toward the author was that of          
A.unconcernB.sympathy
C.doubtD.tolerance
小题2:What do we know about James Kemnedy?
A.He was a writer of an online magazine.
B.He was a poet at the University of Florida
C.He offered the author a new house free of charge.
D.He learned about the author’s sufferings via e-mail
小题3:It can be inferred from the text that         
A.the author’s family was in financial difficulty
B.rents were comparatively reasonable despite the disaster
C.houses were difficult to find in the hurricane-stricken area
D.the mortgage on the ruined house was paid off by the bank
小题4:The author learned from his experience that         
A.worldly possessions can be given up when necessary
B.generosity should be encouraged in some cases
C.people benefit from their sad stories
D.human beings are kind after all.

When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards-based learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers.
For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she’s been named national teacher of the year.
Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.”
Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music.
When students were reading S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book. Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book. Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book.
The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Falls. It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns can even win national honors.
As national teacher of the year, Peterson will spend the next year outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education.
Not surpassingly, she is a big believe in the value of acts education. She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as act or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day.
小题1:The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means __________.
A.discouragingB.interesting
C.creativeD.unbearable
小题2:When Peterson began her teaching career, ____________.
A.music was a focus of learning in most schools
B.the environment was favorable to music teaching
C.the school lacked teaching facilities for music
D.financial support for music programs was unavailable
小题3:What is the most important reason that Peterson won the award?
A.She concerned herself with current social problems.
B.She motivated students to learn music with her creativity.
C.She has taught music at the elementary school for 22 years.
D.She made great efforts to arouse students’ interest in literature.
小题4:Which of the following is an example of Peterson’s way of teaching music?
A.She wrote plays on themes of race, equality and social justice.
B.She made use of the contents of other classes in her teaching.
C.She organized classroom discussions of Broadway tunes.
D.She helped students compose songs by themselves.
小题5:In Peterson’s opinion, ____________.
A.art, music and PE classes are all important
B.more subjects should be offered to students
C.students should be motivated to attend art classes
D.arts education is more important than other subjects
小题6:It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A.Peterson’s honor was a surprise for the local people
B.Peterson’s art classes attracted students back to school
C.Peterson aroused the local residents’ passion for music
D.Peterson will change her profession next year
