阅读理解。     One day the employees of a large company in St Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and
were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: ""Yesterday the person who has been hindering
(阻碍) your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral (葬礼) in the room

完形填空。     The night started out ordinarily enough. Jack and Tara, our   1  , were in their small beds surrounded by
toy animals. My husband, Pat, and I went to sleep   2 .
       3   after midnight, Jack quietly touched me. "Mommy, I want to stay with you. I promise I won"t take
much room." I shifted   4   to make room. My son soon fell asleep.
     An hour later, Tara cried and I carefully went downstairs. "Mommy, my   5   is an stuffed up (堵住). I
can"t really breathe very well. Will you please   6   with me a little while?" Tara doesn"t often get up at night.
   7  . I decided to be there for her. She soon fell asleep. I returned to my own bed. I was determined to sleep.
But to my   8  , I found Jack sleeping on my side of the bed. He looked so   9   that I couldn"t remove him.
Quietly and carefully, I lay down between  10  and Jack.
     I did manage to get some sleep  11  I heard Tara"s voice again. I returned to  12  Tara. "Mom, please lie
down with me a little bit. I had a bad dream, and I"m so  13 ." "Of course, honey. It was only a dream
Mommy"s here and  14  is okay." We fell asleep  15  each other"s arms.
     Even in my sleepy state, I thought of  16  these nights of merry-go-round (一连串的繁忙活动) beds will
be over. In their place, my twins will be grown  17  before I"m ready, our children" rooms will be much too
  18  and empty. So it is especially on days when I"m worn out after a night on this mom"s merry-go-round
that I remind  19  that these very days and nights are, in fact, "the good old days", ever so  20 .

It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation. I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life." At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave." As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague"s words no longer existed. When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn"t the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired I thanked him, but declined his kind offer. A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class-not about math, but about life-would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher. Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication (奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction-I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.
1. Hearing his colleague"s description of graduation for the first time, the author _____.
[ ]
A. quite agreed with his colleague B. was very puzzled C. thought it very funny D. was very sad
2. The computer science student called up the author because he _____.
[ ]
A. wanted to inform the author of his present job B. tried to persuade the author to work with him C. wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction D. thought the author wasn"t fit to be a teacher
3. The underlined part blue hats and gowns refers to _____.
[ ]
A. university colleagues B. graduates" clothes C. life memories D. decorations in the hall
4. The author wrote this passage to _____.
[ ]
A. express his devotion to being a teacher B. compare two different graduation ceremonies C. talk about the meaning of graduation D. give advice on how to be a good teacher
5. The reason why he earns less than the computer science student is that _____.
[ ]
A. he was only a young professor B. he didn"t do well in his work C. he taught his students more about life than math D. salaries for different careers are different

Many people hate the idea of having to sleep on a plane. But Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios thinks they can be persuaded otherwise and he has created a new kind of hostel to prove it. Dios says it is the world"s first jumbo jet hostel, an actual jet-plane Sweden"s main airport outside Stockholm which has been converted (改装) into a 25-room guesthouse that sleeps as many as 72 people. "I learned about this plane that was standing abandoned at Arlanda airport and I"ve been trying the concept of hostels in many different houses and buildings," he told reporters. "I thought, "Why not a plane?"" Jumbo Hostels opened for business on Thursday, giving customers the chance to check in and sleep in a room that can best be described as cozy. "The most challenging part with this project is trying to build something inside a metal hull (外壳)-it"s just really, really tight." The jet, which was originally produced for Singapore Airlines, was taken out of service in 2002. One thing the hostel has going for it is price-a room starts at 350 Swedish crowns (about $ 41), which is a lot less than hotel rooms outside of major airports. Another feature: customers can get married on the wing of the plane and live in the plane"s more luxurious honeymoon room situated in the cockpit (驾驶舱). Instead of walking down the aisle (走廊), lovebirds can take what Jumbo Hostels calls the "wing walk," where they can be joined in great joy at the wing tip. The hostel has someone ready to perform the ceremony. But in some respects, this hostel remains a plane-most customers have to share the jet"s nine bathrooms and staff only wear air steward and stewardess clothes. The only room that has its own bathroom is the honeymoon suite.
1. Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios creates a new kind of jet hostel in order to _____.
[ ]
A. make people more comfortable B. earn more money from people C. change people"s idea of not sleeping on the plane D. explore the sources of the universe
2. According to the passage the jet hostel is _____.
[ ]
A flying in the sky B. hung in the sky C. lying on the airport D. buried underground
3. The advantages of the jet hostel are the following EXCEPT _____.
[ ]
A. more comfortable B. suitable for new couples C. convenient bathroom D. cheaper
4. This abandoned plane originally belongs to _____.
[ ]
A. Stockholm Airlines B. Singapore Airlines C. Sweden Airlines D. Oscar Dios Airlines
5. Which statement of the following do you think can best describe this passage?
[ ]
A. A new fashion of wedding in the plane. B. For travelers, a new way to get a restful night. C. A new way to enjoy yourselves. D. How to change a plane into a hostel.

Maja Kazazic looked closely down into the aquarium (水族馆). For two years, she"d been watching the injured dolphin named Winter swim around the tank. From a distance, the dolphin seemed approachable enough. Still, as Kazazic prepared to jump into the water, a little panic gradually came into her excitement. The young woman eased herself into the pool. Despite her fear, she felt strong wearing her new leg. She was ready to make good on a promise from long ago. In second grade in Mostar, Yugoslavia, Kazazic"s five-year-old cousin, Jasmina, died of leukemia (白血病). Kazazic swore that she would honor the little girl by swimming with a dolphin, an anirnal they both adored. "Jasmina never got the chance to do it," says Kazazic, 32, "so I decided that someday I"d do it for her." In 1993, during the Bosnian civil war, 16-year-old Kazazic was badly injured. Her left leg was cut off just below the knee and was brought to the United States for treatment. A few months later, Kazazic received her first artificial leg. Because her right leg was also damaged, walking was still very painful. Nonetheless, she managed to graduate from a local high school. After receiving a BA in psychology, she moved to Florida"s Gulf Coast. She liked watching the dolphins play at the aquarium. A young dolphin,Winter, who had lost her tail in a crab trap, caught Kazazic s eye:"She swam more like a shrimp (虾) than a dolphin." After one doctor"s visit, trainers fit Winter with a high-tech tail. When it was done, Winter swam away fast. Kazazic was impressed. She approached the trainers, who put her in touch with the inventors. Within ten days, she had a new leg and she could walk without pain again. Eight months later, Kazazic was ready to keep the promise she had made in honor of Jasmina. "After being in a war zone, this should be a piece of cakc," Kazazic said as she lowered herself into the tank. She held out a hand to Winter, who approached cautiously, and then moved away. After a few minutes, the dolphin let Kazazic move her hand gently over her back. The two started an hour long swim around the pool. When Kazazic climbed out, her parents hugged her. She would have shouted with joy had she not been aware of dolphins" sensitivity to noise. Instead she quietly said, "I felt I owed somebody something, and now I"ve paid my debt." Out in the parking lot, she got into her car and shouted loudly and happily all the way.
