阅读理解。     It was the first day of school. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I
turned around to find a little old lady smiling at me. She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I"m
eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?"
     I laughed and said, "Of course!" And she gave me a big hug. "Why are you in college at such an age?"
I asked.
     She jokingly replied, "I"m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have kids and then retire and
travel."
     "No seriously."
     "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I"m getting one!"
     We became friends at once. Over the course of the year, Rose easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she was happy with the attention given to her from the other students. At the
end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet(宴会). I"ll never forget what she taught
us in her speech.
     "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only
four secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor
every day. You"ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people
walking around who are dead and don"t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older
and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don"t do one useful thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do
anything, I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn"t take any ability. The idea is to
grow up by always finding opportunity to do productive things. Have no regrets(遗憾；后悔). The
elderly usually don"t have regrets for what we did, but we regret for things we
did not do."
     At the year"s end Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully
in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral to honor the wonderful woman!1. While meeting Rose at the college for the first time, the author was curious about _______.A. her age
B. her life
C. her purpose
D. her dream 2. By saying "I"m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have kids and then retire and travel",
    Rose was trying to be _______. A. humorous
B. amazing
C. confident
D. smart 3..What else did Rose most probably say at the football banquet?A. "It seems that my young days are over."
B. "Don"t do much in order to stay young."
C. "The people who fear death are those with regrets."
D. "When we are old, we can do nothing."4. The story of Rose in the text shows that ________.A. it is good to make friends with old people
B. it is necessary to have a college education for old people
C. it is important to have a healthy body when people are getting old
D. it is never too late to be what you can possibly be

     I am  5  shocked at how  6  talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of
Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes  7  the medical trade
was telling me how many doctors and dentists  8  financially. All this time, I thought that when they
graduated, the dollars would  9  . It was this business consultant  10  gave me the phrase, "They are one
skill away from great   11  ."
     What this phrase means is that most people need only to learn and master one more skill and their
income would  12  exponentially (成倍的). I have mentioned before that  13  intelligence is a synergy (增

almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, "So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,  16
McDonald"s makes more money than you?" The answer is  17  : McDonald"s is excellent at business
systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is because they  18 on building a better hamburger

     In my dual profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children
infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have
been gifts in my life. I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.
     Tyler was born infected with HIV; his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life,
he was dependent on medication to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically
inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack
on his back. Medications were fastened to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to
his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
     Tyler wasn"t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not
unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and
dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at (大为
惊讶) his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler"s mom often teased him by telling him
that he moved so fast 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 spot him.
     This deadly disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little of a dynamo like Tyler. He grew
quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother. When it became comforted him by telling
Tyler that she was dying too, and that"s he would be with him soon in heaven.
     A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, "I might die
soon. I"m not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. 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."

1. What happened to him in his early age?

A. He was independent on medication to survive.
B. He got a tube in his chest.
C. His mother was infected with HIV.
D. He had inserted a pump on his back.

2. Tyler wore a backpack is _______.

A. because he thought it was cool and fashionable.
B. because there was a pump in it, which could help with his disease.
C. because the doctor and his mom asked him to wear it
D. because he had no right to choose but to wear it.

3. After reading Para. 4, we can know_______.

A. The relationship between Tyler and his mom is not good.
B. Tyler"s mom loved him and was unwilling to tell him about the disease
C. Tyler"s mom is as weak as him because of the disease.
D. Tyler loved his mom very much.

4. Why did Tyler ask the doctor to dress him in red?

A. Because he likes dressing in red
B. Because his mother wanted him to dress in red.
C. Because he wanted his mother to be happy.
D. Because his mother can spot him at once.

5. What does the author want to tell us by writing this passage?

A. People who was infected with HIV will die soon.
B. Having a positive attitude will keep you from the deadly disease.
C. Even a child can teach us a lot and be respected.
D. Everyone should have great courage to face the problems.

"Soon, you"re going to have to move out!" cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood. One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren"t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn"t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake. Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves. Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold: First, I have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found tow full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already turned yellow for lack of light. Here I am faced with a painful small decision. To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlet in Gone with the Wind, I"ll think about that tomorrow.
1. The writer decided to plant the tomato just because ____.
A. it cost little B. the soil conditions were proper C. the space left could be used D. the roses were growing too fast
2. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?
A. Enough care and right soil conditions. B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing. C. Tomato plants grown alongside. D. Cage placed around the roots.
3. By saying "the prize so dearly won" in Para.5, the writer wants to ____.
A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes B. show the hardship of growing the roses C. express her liking for the roses. D. express her care for the tomatoes

Just as adults have a hard time putting down their iPhones, so the device is now the toy of choice for many 1- 3 years old children. It"s a phenomenon that is attracting the attention of some childhood development specialists. Natasha Sykes, a mother of two in Atlanta, remembers the first time her daughter, Kelsey, then barely 2 years old, held her husband"s iPhone. "She pressed the button and it lit up. I just remember her eyes. It was like "Whoa!" "The parents were charmed by their daughter"s fascination. But then, said Ms. Sykes, "She got serious about the phone."Kelsey would ask for it. Then she"d cry for it. "It was like she"d always want the phone," Ms. Sykes said. Apple, the iPhone"s designer and manufacturer, has built its success on machines so simple and intuitive(直观的) that even technologically confused adults can figure out how to work them, so it makes sense that expert children would follow. Tap a picture on the screen and something happens. What could be more fun? Many iPhone on the market are aimed directly at preschoolers, many of them labeled "educational," such as Toddler Teasers: Shapes, which asks the child to tap a circle or square or triangle; and Pocket Zoo, which broadcasts live video of animals at zoos around the world. There are "flash cards" aimed at teaching children to read and spell, and a "Wheels on the Bus" program that sings the popular song in multiple languages. Then there"s the new iGo Potty program, with automated phone calls reminding toddlers that it"s time to "go ". Along with fears about dropping and damage, however, many parents sharing iPhones with their young ones feel guilty. They wonder whether it is indeed an educational tool, or a passive amusement like television. The American Academy of Pediatrics has long advised parents not to let their children watch any TV until they are past their second birthday. Jane M. Healy, an educational psychologist in Vail, Colo. said: "Any parent who thinks a spelling program is educational for that age is missing the whole idea of how the preschool brain grows. What children need at that age is whole body movement, the skills of playing lots of objects and not some difficult technology. You"re not learning to read by lining up the letters in the word "cat." You"re learning to read by understanding language, by listening."
1. The main purpose of Kelsey referred to in the passage is to ____.
A. not only adults but children are crazy about iPhones B. encourage people to buy this toy for their children C. advertise for the toy D. show Kelsey likes the toy very much
2. The underlined words "it"s time to "go" "in Paragraph 3 mean ______.
A. it"s time to stop playing the toy B. it"s time to go to sleep C. it"s tie to go to the washroom D. it"s time to go home
3. The parents asking their young children to play iPhones feel guilty because _____.
A. they know the toy has a negative effect on them B. the children damage the toy C. they are not sure of the real effect of the toy D. they ask their children to watch live video of animals
4. In Jane"s mind, in educating preschoolers parents should _____.
A. buy this toy for their children. B. ask their children to play as many toys as possible C. ask their children to learn a spelling program D. know how the preschool brain grows
