题型：不详难度：来源：
In college I had a part-time job at a shop downtown that sold doughnuts(a kind of cake) and coffee. The small shop, 36 on a block where a dozen buses stopped, it provided food to people who had a few minutes to wait for their 37 .
I 38 coffee in takeout cups and patiently waited on customers who’d point through the glass case and say, “No, not that one, the one two rows over.”
Every afternoon around four o’clock, a group of school children would burst 39 the shop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and 40 on. I didn’t 41 if the kids waited for the bus in the shop.
I came to know them pretty well. The girls would talk about school. The boys were more quiet, choosing not to 42
their secrets, but still, they’d wait every day in the store 43 their bus came.Sometimes I"d hand out bus fare （车费） when a ticket went 44 — always repaid the next day．When ii snowed, the kids and I would wait 45 for a very late bus．They"d call their parents to let them know they were okay．At _ closing time I wouldn"t 46 the door, and the kids and I would wait in the warm store until their bus finally arrived．
I 47 a lot of doughnuts on snowy days．I enjoyed my pals （伙伴）, but it never 48 to me that I played an important part in their lives—until one Saturday afternoon when a serious-looking man came into the store and asked if I was the girl who worked weekdays around four o"clock．I 49 it was true, and he introduced himself 50 the father of two of my favorites—a brother and sister team．
"I want you know I appreciate what you do for my children．I 51 about them having to take two buses to get home．It 52 a lot that they can wait here and you are keeping an eye on them．"
I told him it wasn"t a big 53 ．that I enjoyed the kids．
"No, you don"t understand．When they"re with the doughnuts lady, I know they"re 54 ．It is a big deal．And I"m grateful．"
So I was the Doughnuts lady．I not only had received a 55 ．I had become a landmark．

Taking Care
From a very early age, I knew I wanted to be a nurse. My mother was a nurse and I have always 36 her and the way she took care of everyone. I wanted to be just like her.
So, here I am, a 37 for the last seven years. I love my work. Now, my father is quite 38 . He is 71 and has heart failure, and a lot of other medical 39 . Up until April of this year, he was able to live alone, drive, and 40 all of his own needs. His health has broken sown swiftly. I’m the only girl out of the five children. Being the only girl and a nurse 41 me at the top of the caregiver list. Taking care of a sick parent is very 42 , not at all like taking care of other patients. I have to 43 my own family to be here with Dad. I know this is 44 I need to be but it is still hard. I 45 abut 12-15 hours day taking care of him. I want to spend all of the time that I can with him because I know that our 46 left together is short.
At the same time, I find myself 47 that my brothers don’t help more. Sometimes, it is days between their 48 . they all have families of their own and busy lives but…so do I. My eldest brother does help some. He 49 at night. He comes in at 8 or 9pm and lets me go home. But he is up and 50 to hit the road at about 6 am. My 51 brothers pop in for 10-15 minute visits. It is 52 annoying. They say they 53 stand “to see Daddy this way” which I understand. It hurts me to see him so sick 54 weak, too. But …he’s our Dad. He has taken care of us our whole lives. I just 55 like we should all do our part to take care of him now.

One day at lunch time, I was getting ready to eat my same old tuna fish（金枪鱼）sandwich and suddenly Mrs. Amatuli asked me if she could buy my sandwich from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot lunch from the cafeteria.
I was thrilled. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was too expensive for my family, and we always carried our lunch and brought the bah back home to use again the next day. My sandwiches were either bologna（大腊肠）or tuna fish. It rarely varied beyond that.
You can understand my delight when I had the opportunity to buy a hot lunch.
When we finished lunch that day, Mrs. Amatuli took me aside and said she wanted to explain why she had bought my sandwich.
Oh, I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my Mama that form now on I wanted tuna fish on Fridays. After my Mama understood why, she gladly fixed tuna fish for me on Friday. She even fixed it on brown bread because she knew Mrs. Amatuli liked brown bread.
From then on every Friday I cold get in line with the rest of the kids for a hot lunch. I didn’t care how many of the ids complained about cafeteria food—it tasted divine to me!
I realize now that Mrs. Amatuli could have fixed herself a tuna sandwich of Friday. But she bought my sandwich because she saw a little girll who was thrilled over the simple act of having a hot lunch.

There is a story told about how Neil set about winning over one particular boy．The boy was always causing trouble and clearly regarded all teachers 36 a hostile eye．On one occasion, Neil, out taking a 37 , had just rounded a corner when he came across the boy playing on his own．The boy, not noticing he was no longer 38 , picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows．Turning, he saw Neil．Instead of finding himself 39 at angrily as he expected, the boy was 40 to see Neil bend down, pick up a stone and hurl it at another window．The boy had to 41 to get the window repaired, so did Neil． 42 he thought this a small price to pay for 43 a bond between himself and the boy, whose 44 improved afterwards．
Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be 45 and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children．Not everyone is so 46 ．Willie Russell, the 47 , likes to talk about the time when he had freshly 48 from teacher training college and had just begun to work as a teacher．On his first day at the school he was left to do playground duty on his own, rather a（n） 49 experience for one so new to the job．Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children throwing a stone at a school window．When the boy saw that he had been 50 by a teacher, his face fell． 51 for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil．Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投掷) it through another window．Turning to smile proudly at the boy his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being 52 by flying stones．
Unfortunately he had failed to take into account the difference between his 53 and the one which Neil had faced, namely that he and the boy were not alone．It was at this point in his career that Russell decided that perhaps he was not quite cut out to be a teacher． Deciding after this that he was not suited to teaching he left to 54 playwriting．Most of his plays are very imaginative and 55 ．A bit like this story, in fact．

A month after Hurricane Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans．There lay my house, reduced to waist-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 ruined house．We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory．We’d begun 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 Kennedy in California．He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for Slate, the online magazine, and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans．
It sounded too good to be true, but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional generosity, that we had no plans 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 Kennedy, 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．
56．What do we know about James Kennedy?
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．
57．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
58．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
Now let us look at how we read．When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, rough movement．We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate(凝视)．Each time they fixate, we see a group of words．This is known as the recognition span or the visual span．The length of time of which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person．It also varies within one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text．Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness．
Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page．As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation．For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second．One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side．Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation．All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently．Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words．Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text．
59．The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts EXCEPT________ ．
A．one’s familiarity with the text B．one’s purpose in reading
C．the length of a group of words D．lighting and tiredness
60．The author may believe that reading ______．
A．requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation
B．requires a reader to see words more quickly
C．demands a deeply-participating mind
D．demands more mind than eyes
61．What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
A．The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted．
B．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and to
comprehend words．
C．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading．
D．The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job to improve one’s ability to see
words．
62．What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?
A．critical B．neutral C．pessimistic D．optimistic
