We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests" coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her
hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable （出色的、独特的）girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thoug
ht to myself that we adults usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because she"s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the b
est of intentions But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined（突出的、优秀的）. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.
I said, "Wh
at are you doing, my dear?"She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don"t people like me the way
they like my sister? Is it because I "m not pretty? Is that why they don"t say nice things about
me asmuch?"
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
Now, whenever I visit a friend"s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
61. The underlined expression " make a big "to do" over" (paragraph 4) means ______.
A. show much concern about B. have a special effect on
C. list jobs to be done for D. do good things for
62. The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ______.
A. beautiful hair B. pretty clothes C. lovely smile D. young age
63 Kristen felt sad and cried because ______.
A. the guest gave her more coats to carry
B. she didn"t look as pretty as Kelly
C. the guests praised her sister more than her
D. her mother didn"t introduce her to the guests
64. We can conclude from the passage that ______.
A. parents should pay more attention to the elder children
B. the younger children are usually more easily hurt
C. people usually like the younger children more
D adults should treat children equally

A few weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf coast, the Texas school where I teach collected furniture and other household items for a family from Louisiana that had lost everything. I thought of how sad it would be to lose all of the things that held so many priceless memories. Nothing could ever really replace a memory. I prayed I would be able to help the family in some ways , and at least give them practical things they could use.
I had a couple of old chairs in the house, and went into the spare bedroom to dig them out. Then I saw the wooden rocking chair(摇椅) in the corner. Deep brown , with a unique pattern of fruits and leaves edged in gold on the back. I’d never seen another like it. I used to rock my son to sleep in it when he was a baby. Talking about memories, I could never bear to part with that rocker. http://wx.jtyjy.com/
But a feeling suddenly swept over me. Give it away. “Do you really want to do this?” my husband asked. I said firmly, “Yes!” He helped me load the rocking chair into my car. “Doesn’t it hold sentimental(情感的)value for you?” I couldn’t explain it. I took the rocker to the school the next day. The woman in charge of the donations(捐赠品)for the Louisiana family loaded it into the back of her truck.
The very next day at school, the woman in charge came rushing into my classroom. “Angie, I have to tell you a story about that rocking chair!” she said.
The family was grateful for every single item we’d donated, they told her. Then they saw the rocker. Everyone stopped and stared. Then the granddaughter cried out, “Grandma, look! It’s your rocking chair!” http://wx.jtyjy.com/
My rocking chair was exactly like the one they had lost in the hurricane, the one that held their sweetest memories.
56. Why did the author feel sympathy for the family that had lost everything?
A. They met Hurricane Katrina.
B. They had no furniture and other items to use.
C. They lost the things holding memories.
D. They had to rebuild their house.
57. When thinking of having used the rocking chair the author .
A. decided to give it away B. asked her husband for advice
C. liked it more than before D. hated to part with it
58. We can infer from the passage that the author’s husband .
A. didn’t support the author’s social work B. didn’t agree to donate the chair
C. thought the rocking chair valuable D. could understand what she thought then
59. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. A good deed for a homeless family B. Comfort a family with a gift of memories
C. A piece of furniture donated to a family D. We all need the rocking chair

My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It is funny now but it wasn’t at that time.
Last Friday, after doing all family 31 in town, I wanted a rest 32 catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the 33 coffee shop—that cheap, self–service place with long 34 to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to 35 a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next 36 . It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, 37 dark glasses and worn clothes, and 38 colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did 39 me was that he had started to eat my chocolate.
Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid 40 —and really I was rather 41
about him, I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me 42 , then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could 43 believe it. Still I didn’t dare to 44 an argument. When he took a 45 piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece”. And I got it.
The boy 46 me a strange look, then stood up. As he left he shouted out,” This 47 is crazy.” Everyone stared. That was embarrassing（令人难堪的）enough, but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to 48 . My face went red—as red as his hair—when I 49 I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate that he had been taking. There was mine, unopened, just 50 my newspaper.

A poor traveller stopped under the tree to eat the boiled rice and vegetables which he had brought with him. A few metres away, there was a small shop by the side of the road where a woman was frying (油炸)fish and selling it to travelers. The woman watched the poor traveler carefully, and when he finished his food and began to go, she shouted rudely, “You haven’t paid me for the fried fish!”
“But I have not had any fried fish!” he said.
“But everyone can see that you enjoyed the smell of my fried fish with your rice and vegetables,” said the woman, “If you had not smelled the fish, your meal would not have been so pleasant!”
Soon a crowd collected, and although they supported the poor traveler, they had to admit that wind was blowing from the shop to the place where he had eaten, and that it had carried the smell of the fried fish to him.
Finally, the woman took the poor traveler to a judge, who said, “The woman says that the traveler ate his meal with the smell of her fried fish. The traveler agrees that the wind was blowing from the woman’s shop to the place where he ate his rice and vegetables, and that it carried the smell of her fried fish to his nose while he was eating, so he must pay for it. What does your fried fish cost?” he asked the woman.
“Twenty-five cents a plate,” she answered, delighted.
“Then go outside together,” said the judge. “There the traveler must hold up a twenty-five-cent piece so that its shadow（影子）falls on the woman’s hand. The price of the smell of a plate of fried fish is the shadow of twenty-five cents.”

A. he was poor B. he was rude
C. he was supported by a crowd D. he hadn’t eaten her fried fish at all
