     There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two
buckers. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one. Which had seen
many years of service, but was now past its best?
     Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path,
one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket
of water without a single drop spilled (溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before
it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.
     Sometimes the new bucket would say, "See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me
to water the flowers every day! I don"t know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of apace you are!"
     And all that the old bucket could say was. "I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best. I am
happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least."
     One day, the gardener heard that kind or conversation. After was ring the flowers as usual, he said, "You
both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along
the path."
     Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was
carried, there was just bare (光秃秃的) earth; one the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was
a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.
1. What does the underlined word "dilapidated" probably mean?
A. Dirty
B. Dark
C. Worn-out
D. Plain-looking
2. What was the old bucket ashamed of?
A. His past.
B. His aging.
C. His manner.
D. His leaking.
3. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to _____.
A. laugh at the old one
B. take pity on the old one
C. show off its beautiful looks
D. praise the gardener"s kindness
4. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?
A. Because it was used to keep a balance
B. Because it stayed in its best condition
C. Because it was taken as a treasure
D. Because it had its own function

     Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York-he in computers,
she in special education. "Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say. In April1998, he learned he
would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life"s purpose.
     Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by
Dolly Parton" s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the
singer"s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. "I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when
we retire," Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder."
     Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library.
com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to
Dollywood for a look-see. "We didn"t want to give the children rubbish," says Linda. The books-reviewed
each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members-included classics such as Ezra Jack
Keats"s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney"s Llama Llama series.
     Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped
more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than
appreciative:"This program introduces us to books I"ve never heard of."
     The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. "Some people sit there and wait
to die," says Tim. "Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left."
1. What led Tim think seriously about the meaning of the life?
A. His death problem

2. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?

D. Retire from being a teacher.
3. According to the text, Dollly Parton is _____.

A. To avoid signing up online.
B. To meet Dollywood board members.
C. To make sure the books were the newest.
D. To see if the books were of good quality.
5. What can we learn from Tim"s words in the last paragraph?
A. He needs more money to help the children.

C. He tries to save those waiting to die.
D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.

     The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happened, my aunt. She was Myrtle C.
Manigault, the wife of my mother"s brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School
in Camden, New Jersey.
     During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential,
without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened
to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn"t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me
to the theatre not just children"s theatre but adult comedies and dramas-and her faith that I could appreciate
adult plays was not disappointed.
     My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home,
but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I"ll never forget the
joy of discovering Don Marquis"s Archy & Mehitabel through her.
     Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer
herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a "youth columnist". My
column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities-and it did-but it also
gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline
of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material
that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
     Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her "favourite niece". Like a diamond, she has
reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.
1. Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?
A. She lent her some serious classics.
B. She cultivated her taste for music.
C. She discovered her talent for dancing.
D. She introduced her to adult plays.
2. What does Archy and Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A. A book of great fun.
B. A writer of high fame.
C. A serious masterpiece.
D. A heartbreaking play.
3. Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to _____.
A. develop her capabilities for writing
B. give her a chance to collect material
C. involve her in teenage social activities
D. offer her a series of writing jobs
4. We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who _____.
A. trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
B. gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential
C. emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils
D. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning

son,  17  his lunch.

as I  20  asked him what was wrong.
     "My note, Mom," he answered. "Where"s my note?"
