I pulled into the driveway of my Mum’s house and saw my two-year-old daughter’s smiling face staring out the window at me. Vanessa had stayed with her grandma for a week, while her mommy, Georgia ,was in hospital 36 complications(并发症) in her second pregnancy. Vanessa, who missed her room and toys, 37 awaited the arrival of daddy to pick her up and take her to see her mother. After the visit we’d go home where I had a surprise for her.
Vanessa and I spent an hour with Georgia and then 38 home.
I got Vanessa out of her snowsuit, 39 on the sofa and sat beside her. “Vanessa, you know you’re going to have a new brother or sister soon.”
“I know, Daddy. Mommy’s bringing it home with her.”
“That’s right .”I smiled. “well, the baby is going to need a 40 to sleep in. I hope you don’t mind, but I put your cradle in the new baby’s room.”
“Where will I sleep, Daddy?”
“ Follow me.” I led her down the hall to her room. “I have a  41 for you.”
When Vanessa turned the corner and screamed with pleasure. “It’s a bed ,Daddy! My very own bed!” She 42 up and down on the mattress with  43 happiness on her face.
“ I guess this means I’m growing up,” said Vanessa.
First beds are first milestones. For the first time we are free to get out of bed without  44 someone lift us from our cradles. We are trusted to handle the freedom with respect and are expected to 45 new rules. First days of school, first loves, firsts jobs,first homes or apartments, first child;they’re all  46 in life. Each comes with  47 and responsibilities and it all starts with the first bed..

举一反三
Among the more colorful characters of Leadville’s golden age were H. A. W. Tabor and his wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as “Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West.
Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. Then he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. “Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said.
As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville’s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or “grub”, while they looked for ore(矿石), in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.
Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. “Oh help yourself. One more time won’t make any difference,” He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the “Pittsburgh Mine,” made $1,300,000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.
Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.
小题1:Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT that
A.Tabor became its leading citizen.
B.great deposits of lead is expected to be found there.
C.it could bring good fortune to Tabor
D.it was renamed
小题2:The underlined word “grubstake” in Paragraph 3 means
A.to supply miners with food and supplies
B.to open a general stores
C.to do one"s contribution to the development of the mine
D.to supply miners with food and supplies and in return get a share in the mine, if one was discovered
小题3:We can infer that Tabor’s life career is.
A.purely lucky
B.based on his managing theory of “grubstake’
C.through the help from his wife
D.because he planned well and accomplished targets step by step
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Tabor’s Life.B.A legend of the Old West
C.Lead Makes Leadville’s FortuneD.The Best Investment

The unwanted disturbing of a mobile phone ringing at a critical moment has led to some famously strong reactions
British actor Richard Grif-fiths,stopped a performance at the National Theatre and ordered The offending party to leave
Judge Robert Restaino went considerably further.He was hearing a session of domestic violence offenders in a court when proceedings were interrupted by rings of a phone.
“Everyone is going to jail unless I get that instrument now,” he shouted.
Over the next two hours,the judge entered a period of “incredible madness”.He began by ordering the doors of the court locked,and set the officers to searching for the phone.
When that failed to find the offending item he ordered each of the defendants(被告) present in the room up to his bench and in turn asked them if they  had no idea, he sent each in turn to jail(监狱).   
All 46 of them.
When a defendant protested the judge’s actions were not fair to those who didn’t possess the phone,Restaino replied:“I know it isn’t.
Judge’s actions caused chaos.Extra officers had to be drafted into the court to control the crowd.and booking officers at the city jail were at full stretch.“We were playing Twister in here”, one said at the time.
Fourteen of the defendants were shackled(束缚 )in irons and sent to the county jail.
The judge cooled off and later that afternoon released all 46.
The “two hours of viral lunacy(疯狂)”, has probably cost Restaino his job.The commission ruled that he should be removed from his $14,000 job.Restaino now has 30 days to appeal(上诉).
His lawyer pointed out that until that moment he had served 11 years as a judge without any disciplinary issues.“With the exception of two hours.his record is spotless.”

小题2:Why is British actor Richard mentioned?
A.To indicate the disadvantage of mobile phone.

小题3:Two hours of viral lunacy will_____
A.make Robert pay a large sum of money
B.make no difference to Robert
C.most likely make Robert lose his job
D.make him world famous
小题4:What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Phone-rage(狂怒) judgeB.Judge,prisoner and mobile phone
C.The story in courtD.Mobile phone in court
