One day, three people suddenly appeared in a store, taking food off the shelves as fast as they could,
obviously not planning to pay for it. The shop owner 1 the "panic button" and then went over the
counter and 2 the front door. It was 3 that they were homeless, and equally obvious that they
weren"t going anywhere with their ill-gotten gains. They 4 the loot (赃物) and simply stood
together - knowing the 5 were on the way.
Imagine what they must have 6 , when they were told they didn"t have to steal, if they were that 7 ,
instead of being driven out or told they were headed for 8 . "We have food in the back, expired (过期) 9 still safe to eat, that we plan on 10 to a homeless shelter. If you need food, you can have
some."
They were told to 11 what they had dropped and put it 12 , then asked to clear up the mess
they"d made of the store. They were doing just that when the police 13 . The officers were told the
situation was under 14 and the police were no longer 15 .
This wasn"t what they had 16 . They were being treated as human beings who had done something
wrong but could 17 the wrong they"d done. 18 , because they knew that the homeless were never
welcome to use "public restrooms" in private businesses, they quickly followed orders to take turns and
use the restroom to clean up.
Soon three 19 people, standing just a bit taller than before when they came in, 20 out with all the
food their arms could hold. They were reminded that, if they needed to come back again, they were to
ask and not just grab. |

| | 阅读理解 | Sitting by her Pinocchio lamp, she smiled at me as her tiny hands" shadow danced on the bedroom
wall. "A rabbit!" she laughed with all the delight of a four-year old. Her blue eyes shone with pride as
she showed me the animated image she had created. "Daddy, will you show me how to make a tiger?"
she asked. "Sure," I said, "and then we"ll read a story and tell your angels goodnight. "To my youngest
daughter, that meant her bedtime prayer.
Today my daughter is seven, and I no longer get to read the story. She reads it to me, complete with
expressive accents for the story characters.
To say I"m proud of our relationship would be an understatement. We have shared days of joy as
well as tragedy. Our time together has strengthened the relationship of love and special "life stuff" that is
all our own.
I am richer for having planted the spirit of trust in this gentle little person; we have grown together
spiritually, learning much from each other. The special times we spend together, like nights by a Pinocchio
lamp, create memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
So it is with all of our relationships. The trust factor is vital for relationships to develop. Think of on
e of your fondest memories, and you will no doubt find a remarkable relationship at its center--one with
a spiritual quality that shines outward from the heart.
Time together, caring acts, and unconditional love build trust. I suggest that we each spend plenty of
time with our personal "Pinoechio lamps"--those special ways that we choose to strengthen our
relationships.
Relationships take time to develop and maintain. It is not always easy, but the results are priceless.
"Nights by a Pinoechio lamp", wherever those might be for you, will create enduring relationships of
golden "life stuff", spiritual gifts that no one can take away.
1. The underlined words in the third paragraph refer to all EXCEPT ______.
A. hands" shadow dancing on the wall
B. reading bed stories
C. sharing each other"s tragedy
D. praying to the angels for goodnight
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. The author thinks the relationship with his daughter is so simple that he can"t
describe with plenty of words.
B. If you take time to attempt to build relationship, you will find it easy to get the satisfactory results.
C. Plant the spirit of trust into others and you will create valuable memories for each other.
D. It"s not worth spending time developing relationship if you meet the failure at last.
3. Why does the author write the passage?
A. To recall his fondest memories.
B. To stress the importance of trust in building relationships.
C. To explain how to create valuable memories.
D. To tell the readers how to educate children.
4. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Life Stuff Of Your Own
B. Nights by a Pinocchio Lamp
C. Unconditional gifts-Love
D. A spiritual quality shining outward from the heart | | 完形填空 | When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall

| | 阅读理解 | The first time I saw Carlos, I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when I
ran into something solid. It was Carlos.
"My, you"re tall," he exclaimed.
Of course, the class began to laugh. Annoyed, I walked to my seat without a word.
I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest. That would be last straw. To my
relief, Reed was studying and did not seem to be aware of it. I didn"t know why I considered Reed my
friend. Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I.
"Take that seat," Mr. McCarthy told the newcomer, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the
room.
Carlos smiled broadly. "But I need a couple of dictionaries." Again the class laughed, but now they
were laughing with Carlos, not at him. He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his
side.
It was the school election that made me think of Carlos again. Reed Harrington was voted president
and Carlos vice-president. "How come?" I kept asking myself. "How come this shrimp(虾) who"s only
been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?"
So when I met Carlos this morning, I said to him. "It doesn"t seem to bother you being short, I mean." He looked up at me. "Of course I mind being short. But there isn"t anything I can do about it. When I
realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I decided to make the best of it. My
motto is-don"t be afraid to be yourself."
1. This passage is mainly about a short boy who _____________.
A. won the school election

C. has learned to accept his size
D. is embarrassed by the class
2. From the story, we can see that Carlos is _____________.
A. shy but diligent
B. humorous and confident
C. proud and popular
D. honest but sensitive
3. Paragraph 4 suggests that the author _____________.
A. cared much about Reed"s attitude
B. thought Reed was the same as the others
C. couldn"t stand Carlos playing ricks on her
D. hoped Reed was laughing with the others
4. According to the passage, what happened after the election?
