coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started
to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired-maybe it hadn"t
been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the
tracks.
Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the
train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, "Oh, my God, she fell in!" Frank didn"t
hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. "No! Not
you!" his girlfriend screamed after him.
She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see
the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that
bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained
consciousness (知觉), felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she"d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood
pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn"t, and that was when she realized how much pain
she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was
calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown-just as he had been seconds after the rescue, which made her
think about her reaction at the time. "I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die," she
explained.
B. She felt hot in the subway.
C. She had done a lot of work.
D. She had given blood the night before.
B. Because he didn"t see the train coming.
C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.
D. Because she was afraid the train would kill him.
B. After she was back on the platform.
C. After the police and fire officials came.
D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.
B. show us how to save people in the subway
C. tell us about a subway rescue
D. report a traffic accident

paper said that you could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 am
and 4:00 pm. Since I work from 9 o"clock to 5:30 pm, the only time I could go to the theater was during
my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service
between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip
in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I
saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip-so I gave up and went
back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck
changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there,
however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for
over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back
across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt
it would be worth hearing the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me.
When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly
discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.
B. a college teacher
C. manager of a company
D. a clerk
B. from one of his colleagues
C. over the radio
D. from the newspaper
B. both before and after work hours
C. only during lunch time
D. on Saturday and Sunday
B. pleased
C. puzzled
D. sorry
B. someone enjoying a good concert
C. someone trying to buy concert tickets for his friends
D. someone"s disappointment at not being able to go to the concert
that bus. Some of the girls work as maids. They get off at each stop in ones, twos or threes.
But at one corner something wonderful happens. Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest
house. He doesn"t look at two of the maids who get off. But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!". From head
to tail, his little body wags his happiness. Everyone on the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the
house.
One day not long ago, the maid wasn"t on the bus. I wondered if the dog would be waiting for her. Sure
enough, he was!
He stood at the back door of the bus for a minute. I could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful
worry. Where was she?
The driver closed the back door. The dog raced to the front door. It, too, shut in his face. Everyone on the
bus felt sad. Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there! The driver couldn"t stand it. He opened the
door and looked down at the dog. "She didn"t come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice.
A man in a front seat leaned forward. "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called.
The dog wagged his tail as if to say "thank you." He watched the bus as we pulled away. Then he turned to
trot home-alone.
The next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again. Yes, the dog was waiting for her.
The welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual. We all smiled at one another.
How bright and good the morning suddenly seemed to us!
B. Two maids get off the moment the bus stops.
C. A dog waiting for someone.
D. A dog greets a maid merrily and follows her into a house.

C. very bored
D. much exited
B. she would not take the same bus
C. she was not on their bus
D. she was waiting for an empty bus to come
B. a young maid that has magic powers
C. a bus that can produce magical results

outside-class activities, I hadn"t taken any official leadership position.
This 2 changed when I received an e-mail from Ms Griffith, my cluster (一组, 一群) dean (主任), 3
that a new female DC Rep was needed. DC Rep 4 Discipline Committee Representative. 5 boarding
school (寄宿学校) students break serious rules, like using 6 , getting drunk or cheating in their studies. The
punishments given to such students are 7 by a DC Rep, a house adviser, two student representatives, the
cluster president and the cluster dean. I was interested in becoming a DC Rep for my cluster, Pine Knoll, 8
so were other students. We had to hold an election and Ms Griffith asked us to write 9 to be sent to
everyone in Pine Knoll.
I thought hard about what to write. I didn"t want to make any 10 , because they are difficult to keep. So I
started my speech by explaining 11 I wanted to become a DC Rep. "I want to serve Pine Knoll and also learn
how American boarding schools carry out discipline," I wrote 12 .
I made three 13 that said, "Vote For Teresa" and put them on every exit of my dorm (宿舍) so that people
would 14 my name when they went to vote.
Although I tried hard, I didn"t win the election. I was 15 , but my positive (乐观的) nature did not allow me
to 16 for very long. I actually 17 when my friends tried to 18 me, "Teresa, I am sorry."
"Don"t be sorry for me. I"m very happy to have taken part in the election," I said.
It is true that the process is much more important than the 19 . I am surprised and happy to 20 my
hidden courage.

| Sometimes you make a wish, but when it comes, you decide you don"t want it. That"s what happened with Micky"s "birthday wish". Our family tradition is that you make a wish before you blow out the birthday candle. After he blew out the candle, Micky told us that his wish was to win a prize in the Pine Ridge-match. We quickly told Micky, "If you tell people your wish, your wish won"t come true." So we lit the candle again, and he made another wish. Micky and Paul were both supposed to start playing at 5:30. When Micky reported to the check-in table, the game organizers told him his opponent (对手) had phoned and said he was coming late. The officials told Micky he could choose not to play and be declared the victor of the first round of competition. But Micky said he didn"t want to win by not playing. He wanted the experience of playing a great player. Finally, the beast showed up. He was tall, smiling and relaxed. His serve (发球) was like lightning. Micky had some good returns, but he lost quickly, 6-1, 6-0. We congratulated Micky on having some good returns and a few great serves. And we noted that he had won the first game. "I didn"t win that game," Micky said. "I think he just gave it to me at the beginning because he arrived late." "It was a birthday present." I said, smiling. "No, I refused my birthday present," Micky said. In his eyes, his "birthday present" had been the chance to win by his opponent"s being late. Micky ended up winning the "consolation prize (鼓励奖)" a small prize that we didn"t know existed until Micky earned it by being undefeated in the consolation bracket (档次). We"ll" never know what Micky"s second wish was-the wish he didn"t share with us. It seems to me that no matter how many birthdays you celebrate, as long as you enjoy challenges, you will never be "old". | |||
| 1. What kind of person is Micky? | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. A person who always gives up. B. A person who is afraid of challenges. C. One who enjoys challenges. D. One who is selfish. | |||
| 2. Why did Micky lose the match? | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. Because he gave up a good chance. B. Because he let the others know his birthday wish. C. Because he was proud of himself. D. Because his opponent played much better than him | |||
| 3. The prize Micky won was _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. one he had expected B. not a well-known one C. a famous one D. one he thought meaningless | |||
| 4. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. enjoying challenges is helpful for one to keep "young" B. one will become old as he celebrates his birthdays C. one will stay young by continuously celebrating his birthdays D. challenges can make one never get old | |||

| Teaching second grade is always a challenge. Each student arrives at school with his own needs and difficulties. One year, a student called Billy 1 me with his behavior as well as his academic requirements. He struggled daily with his 2 emotions and often became angry or violent. I knew that, to make 3 progress, his emotions needed controlling. One 4 I tried to help Billy was to have him come directly into the classroom when he arrived at school. Billy"s mom would 5 me to alert (警告) me to a particularly emotional morning at home. Then, I would focus on 6 his anger and calming him down before the other students arrived. One week our class was studying 7 . I thought one way to bring learning into the classroom was to bring my dog Rocky to school for the day. That day began as normal. I was preparing activities focused on dog themes 8 I was told that Billy had a 9 morning at home and I might need to get him 10 . As I was talking to his mom, Billy 11 into the classroom. To Billy"s 12 , Rocky immediately ran up to his new 13 , wagging his tail and licking Billy"s face with doggy affection. Billy couldn"t 14 Rocky"s charm (魅力) and began laughing as his anger melted away. Throughout the day, Billy never left Rocky"s side, feeding him, being gentle with him and even 15 the other students while Rocky was sleeping. Billy was known for doing anything he could to avoid 16 , but on this day he found a good dog story, "Clifford"s Puppy Days," and read it to Rocky. How 17 I was at the sight of Billy reading happily! My little dog was able to 18 Billy"s day from one of anger and frustration to one of laughter, gentleness and 19 . That day Rocky more than helped me with my 20 ; he helped to change the life of a child! After that Billy"s behavior definitely improved. | |||
