1 an educator and health care provider, I have worked with many children infected with HIV. They
have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great 2 can be found in the smallest
individuals. Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was 3 infected with HIV; his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he
was dependent on medications to 4 him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube inserted in a vein
(静脉) in his chest. At times, he also needed extra oxygen to support his 5 .
Tyler wasn"t 6 to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not 7
to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-loaded backpack and 8 his
tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon ( 小推车 ). All of us who knew Tyler were impressed by his
pure 9 in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler"s mom often 10 him by telling him that he
moved so 11 she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check
on him playing in the yard, she could quickly 12 him.
This deadly disease eventually 13 down Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, 14 did his
HIV-infected mother. When it became 15 that he wasn"t going to survive, Tyler"s mom talked to him
about 16 . She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him
soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler 17 to me to come to his hospital bed and 18 ,"I might die
soon. I"m not 19 When I die, please dress me in 20 Mom promised she"s coming to heaven, too. I"ll be
playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me. |

competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica
Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true.
Andrews" first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home
town of Huntingdon, Tennessee, singing I Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston.
Houston"s version of the song appeared on The Bodyguard sound track, which happened to be the
first album Andrews ever bought.
Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer
Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina.
With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract (合同) with Dream
Works" Nashville label.
Andrews" professional career was launched with 1999"s Heart Shaped World, recorded when
she was 14 years old. The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also
appeared on The Prince Of Egypt. She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support
act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood.
With the release of 2001"s Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was
certified (证明) gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now, an
album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. "This album has a very different
feeling for me," she said. "It"s a lot more personal and there"s a confidence that wasn"t quite there on
the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs." | | 1. What"s the meaning of the underlined word "launched" in the fourth paragraph? | A. Started.

the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and then my wife noticed the cupboard.
It was tall and narrow, and it stood outside a furniture shop. "Buy it," she said at once. "We"ll carry
it home on the roofrack (行李架). I"ve always wanted one like that."
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer, and the cupboard was tied on to the
roofrack. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, "There is a long line of cars behind. Why don"t they overtake, I wonder?"
In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But
then with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village
church. One of the officers came to me.
I was puzzled. "Thanks, officer," I said. "You"ve been very kind. I have just down the road."
He was staring at our load: first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. "Well, well," he said, laughing,
"It"s a cupboard you"ve got here! We thought it was…er, something else."
My wife began to laugh. Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer.
"Yes, it"s a cupboard, but thanks again." I drove home as fast as I could. | | 1.The writer writes the story in order to ________. | A. praise the police officers

I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his
weekend had not been very good. The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always
seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I"d read somewhere before: "Every morning when
you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day," I said to the
young man. "I choose to be cheerful."
"Let me give you an example," I continued. "In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also
teach out at the community college in Henderson. One day a few weeks ago I drove to
Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. But just then my car died.
I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn"t turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed
my books, and marched down the road to the college."
"As soon as I got there, the secretary in the Provost"s office asked me what had happened.
"This is my lucky day", I replied, smiling."
"Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?" She was puzzled, "What do you
mean?"
"I live seventeen miles from here. I replied. My car could have broken down anywhere
along the freeway. It didn"t. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within
walking distance of here. I"m still able to teach my class, and I"ve been able to arrange for the
tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn"t have
been arranged in a more convenient fashion." | | 1. If you want to be cheerful you should ___________. | A. try to succeed in doing everything

C. earn a lot of money by working
D. choose to be cheerful every day | | 2. The underlined phrase "turn over" in the third paragraph means "________" | A. roll over
B. work normally
C. stopped suddenly
D. move around | | 3. According to this passage we can infer that the teacher"s car broke down ____. | A. near UNLV
B. along the highway
C. near Henderson
D. at the community college | | 4. Which one of the following is TRUE? | A. The teacher taught not only at UNLV but also at the community college.
B. That was the teacher"s lucky day because the teacher liked walking.
C. The teacher always hoped that the car would break down often.
