Hobbs was an orphan(孤儿). He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work made him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts. One day a lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded. He didn’t know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do: painting pictures. I could do that for a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. If it were more, I could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. But it’s too much for one and too little for the other.” “Here is the reading of your uncle’s will(遗嘱),” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. I must ask you to remember one point. Your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.” “Yes, I see. I’ll do that,” said the young man. 小题1:Hobbs wanted to borrow money to _____.A.study abroad | B.work abroad | C.pay off the debts | D.learn to paint pictures | 小题2:What does the underlined word “dumbfounded”(in Paragraph 2) probably mean?A.Surprised. | B.Frightened. | C.Satisfied. | D.Excited. | 小题3:With the money he got, at first Hobbs _____.A.planned to have a happy life for a few days | B.decided to give up his work in the factory | C.was to give a dinner to his friends | D.had no idea what to do | 小题4:Hobbs was asked to _____.A.tell the lawyer what he did with the money after spending it | B.read his uncle’s will | C.tell the lawyer what was to be done with the money | D.buy some pictures |

Her mom and I had been friends for many years.Finally that friendship grew into care,from care into 2 and marriage.Marriage brought the three of us together as a 3 .At first,I was afraid to be a“stepfather”.Therefore,I tried not to come between my future daughter and her 4 father.I acted in that way in order to be liked.However, 5 she was growing up, I found it increasingly hard to 6 with her. Once her school required every parent to write an open and 7 letter to the children.I wrote a letter about a little golden-haired girl who had brought me a bowl of soup when I needed 8 . A week later,all the parents got together with our children in a classroom.The students were allowed to make a few speeches.I was 9 to hear what my daughter would say. Finally,my daughter determinedly 10 her way up to the microphone.She said something like others and then 11 ."There are people and things we sometimes take for granted that we shouldn"t,at this very moment,I just want to say…I love you,father.” Immediately people around me started 12 at me,and patting me on the back as though they also understood the depth of that unusual speech.For a teenage girl to say 13 in the front of a room full of people,“I love you”,took a great deal of courage.Since then I have come to understand that I didn"t need to have any 14 about being a stepfather.I can still 15 honest love with the same little girl I met so many years before-carrying a bowl full of what turned out to be kindness.I can also be friends with the girl-my dear daughter.

Marie Curie was a Polish-born physicist and chemist and one of the most famous scientists of her time. Together with her husband Pierre, she won the Nobel Prize in 1903, and another one in 1911. Marie Sklodowska was born in Warsaw on 7 November 1867, the daughter of a teacher. In 1891, she went to Paris to study physics and maths at the Sorbonne where she met Pierre Curie, professor of the School of Physics. They married in 1895. The Curies worked together studying radioactivity(放射性), building on the work of the German physicist Roentgen and the French physicist Becquerel. In July 1898, the Curies announced the discovery of polonium(钋). At the end of the year, they announced the discovery of another, radium(镭). The Curies, along with Becquerel, won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. Pierre’s life was cut short in 1906 when he was knocked down and killed by a carriage. Marie took over his teaching post, becoming the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne, and devoted (献身于) herself to continuing the work that they had begun together. She received a second Nobel Prize, for Chemistry, in 1911. The Curies’ research was important in developing X-rays in surgery. During World WarⅠ, Marie helped fixed X-ray equipment, which she herself drove to the front lines. She helped train doctors for the International Red Cross. Although she achieved much success, men scientists in France were still against Marie, and she never received any financial help from her work. By the late 1920s her health was beginning to become worse. She died on 4 July 1934 from her dangerous research.

When I was seven years old my mom was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer. For this type of cancer the survival rate was low. My family was extremely upset and shocked. I was too young to understand. I had no idea that everyday with my mom had to be the absolute best because we didn’t know if it would be our last. I didn’t understand why everyone was suddenly taking time out of their busy lives to come over and sit on our couch. The doctors told us my mom might survive with surgery(外科手术). But it could also kill her. She agreed to have it. The surgery was scheduled for the day after the Columbus Day. The day before the surgery I had off from school, and my mom planned the best day of my life. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was happy. Really happy. The day passed and the next day, it was time for the surgery. There were no tears; I think I understood that I could lose my mom, because they did tell me she could die. We waited all day for news from the doctor. Everyone jumped when a door opened or anyone walked into the waiting room. Finally the doctor came in, and the news was what we had prayed (祈祷) for. The experience that my family went through was truly a roller coaster. I will never forget that day together, and how her illness pulled our family closer. I understand now how lucky we were. I truly appreciate life and honor my mom for being so strong. 小题1:After the author’s mother fell ill, people _____.A.took turns to look after the author | B.tried to spend more time on their work | C.spared more time to stay with the mother | D.asked the doctors to operate on the mother at once | 小题2:It can be inferred that the author’s mother ______.A.tried to show her love to her daughter before the operation | B.didn’t agree to have the operation | C.had always been happy before the operation | D.was very nervous the day before the operation | 小题3:What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.How the doctors operated on the mother. | B.How the family prayed for the mother. | C.How the mother struggled against cancer. | D.How the family waited for the operation result. | 小题4:What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the text?A.Life is always full of hardships. | B.Life is full of both pain and happiness. | C.Life is always filled with pleasure. | D.Life is fair for everyone all the time. |
