Abraham Lincoln was born into poverty 200 years ago. At any other time and place, this lowly origin would have dictated his future, but in Lincoln’s case, his self-determination and force of will made it possible for him to secure his seat in his country"s history. He has become a role model in the self-made America.
If you want to learn about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further. Abraham Lincoln had two business ventures failed, and the second one made him bankrupt, so he had to spend the next 17 years of his life paying for the debt. He also lost 8 different elections. It seemed that he had never done things right at the first time: the first time he ran for state legislature for Congress, for land officer, for Senate, all of these failed, and the first time he sought the vice-presidential nomination, he got less than 100 votes nationally. But he never found it too shameful to carry on his mission. Then later in 1860, on such a rough road, he made it to the White House. He lived up to his famous saying, “Always bear in mind that your own determination to success is more important than any other.”
He could have quit many times-—-but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit，he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of America. One important way Lincoln influences present society is that we look back on his lifeas a role model for future generations. Lincoln’s high character influences us because we compare present-day politicians to the example Lincoln set. A major influence Lincoln has on the united States today is simply through the good example he set when it came to honesty, persistence and leadership.
小题1:According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is true?| A． Lincoln was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. | | B． Like Lincoln, a poor origin leads to a bright future. | | C． America is considered self-made because of Lincoln. | | D． Self-determination and will contributed to Lincoln’s success. |
小题2:What is Paragraph Two mainly about?| A． How Lincoln made his way to the White House. | | B． Lincoln suffered various failures. | | C． Lincoln was a man who never quit. | | D． Lincoln once lost two business ventures. |
小题3:Which is the correct order of what happened to Lincoln?
a. He was paying off his debt. b. He failed in the run for land officer,
c. He got less than 100 votes nationally. d. he stuck to his mission, e. He went bankrupt.| A．b-c-c-d-a | B．e-a-b-c-d | C．e-c-a-b-d | D．d-c-a-b-c |
小题4:What’s the function of Lincoln’s famous saying in Paragraph Two?| A． To tell us that determination is the most important to success. | | B． To attract readers1 attention. | | C． To show why Lincoln was able to carry on in hard times. | | D． To summarize Lincoln’s story. |
小题5:Why does the writer consider Lincoln as one of the greatest presidents in America?| A． Because he still influences America as a role model. | | B． Because he set a good example to the present politicians. | | C． Because of his great personalities. | | D． Because he went through diverse difficulties. |

I keep a two dollar bill in my wallet that was given to me by my mother when I was six years old.
The 31 goes with me wherever I go. My mother gave it to me so that 32 would follow me. She looked at me and said, “I want you to carry this two dollar bill for extra good luck.”
“Thanks, mom,” I replied, “I will keep it 33 to me always.”
My mother passed away when I was seven years old. I remember I took out my two dollar bill and held it in my hand for the longest time, knowing that she would 34 me the rest of my life.
Each time I felt I had a crisis, I would 35 for my two dollar bill and set it on the table. I would 36 at it for several hours and could always 37 a solution. When I applied for my first job, I was thirty years old and very shy. The thought of being interviewed for a job was 38 but I had to work. I saw one of the interviewers well dressed with 39 purse and shoes. I also knew the chance of being chosen was 40 when looking at the length of others’ resumes.
“What makes you feel you are 41 for this job?” The well－dressed woman asked. “I really need this job and there is nothing I can not do” I responded. She then asked me a series of questions and the interview was over. As I left, I 42 and said “Please give me a chance. I learn quickly and can be a very 43 member of your team.”
I went home, 44 . That evening I received a phone call. “Gina” she said, “we decided to give you a chance to 45 yourself.” “Thank you, you will not regret this decision.” I 46 the phone and yelled. At that instant, I remember my mom once said to us “You are 47 in my mind. Don’t 48 failure. It is a way to get us to try harder.”
How 49 this gift from Mom! It had built up 50 in me.

As a substitute teacher, my daily routine involves driving to a new school almost every day so I’m usually unable to anticipate the day’s events, good or bad!
On one particular day, I was teaching in a very difficult classroom. I was managing behavior all morning and by lunch time, I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon. So on my lunch break, I drove to a nearby plaza（购物中心）to get a cup of coffee. Upon returning to the car I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4 or 5-minute drive away. I contemplated (思考）sprinting（冲刺）back, but it being winter, I thought a nasty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.
So I ran into a McDonald’s which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter who happened to be the manager to please call me a cab. I briefly explained my situation to him, and I could tell by the look in his eyes, that he empathized. He hurried to the back to use the phone while I paced in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.
The manager returned only to tell me that the cab company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected, and that he was now on hold again, but had not yet been able to request the cab yet. My expression, I assume, began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear.
Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to spare before the bell!
Upon arriving at the school, I thanked this man endlessly. His calm demeanor（举止）and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for, and also a wonderful human being to have on this earth. This experience makes me realize that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to transpire（发生）, which can have an unimaginable impact on those who receive them.
小题1:Why did the author go to get a coffee?| A．Because he needed to eat something as lunch. | | B．Because he was very thirsty. | | C．Because he had to refresh himself for the classes in the afternoon. | | D．Because he wanted something hot to drink. |
小题2:What happened to the author after he got a cup of coffee?| A．He fell on the icy road. | | B．He realized his keys and phone were locked inside the car. | | C．His car was broken. | | D．He lost his keys and phone. |
小题3:How long probably had the author stayed in the McDonald’s?| A．For about 15 minutes. | B．For about 10 minutes. | | C．For about 8 to 9 minutes. | D．For only 2 minutes. |
小题4:What kind of person is the manager?| A．Kind-hearted. | B．Active. | C．Good-mannered. | D．Thoughtful. |

"I can take you for a walk through our village," the girl responded. "I want everyone to hear of your problem. When they know the truth, they will no 50 be afraid of you. While we are going from house to house you can look at me 51 , and then you will stay the same size as you are now.
"But 52 we go, let"s change your name. What do you want to be called? YOU should not be called FEAR, because YOU are not afraid. It"s the people who look at you 53 fear you. That"s what causes you to grow into a giant."
