Sitting in the play area of the doctor’s office, my children, Paul, four, and Bailey, three, built a Lego tower while we waited to be called for Paul’s examination. “Good job, you guys,”I said, trying not to sound too tired. My husband was away on business, and it was difficult being alone with the kids. At times I felt like I was living in the jungle(丛林) rather than the suburbs. “Don’t put the Lego in your mouth, Bailey,”I said. Paul grabbed(抓取) it from him.“That’s not nice, Paul,”I said. He gave back the Lego. I looked around the waiting room. A woman was eating something, a couple were talking, and an old gentleman in a blue jacket was reading a magazine. I wished I could sit quietly for a while. I wanted to be able to take a rest, or go shopping alone. At once, I was ashamed of myself. What kind of mother was I? “God,”I thought, “help me to be the very best mom I can be.” The nurse came into the waiting room to get us. Just at that moment, the old gentleman in the waiting room put down his magazine and came up to me. With a smile on his face, he said, “Your children are most certainly lucky to have such a wonderful mother.”“Thank you,”I replied in a low voice and watched him walk back to his seat. We followed the nurse into the examination room. While she weighed Paul, I told her how that man had made my day. Motherhood is still a jungle sometimes, but now when I feel tired I remember the encouraging words of the old gentleman. 小题1:The writer went to the doctor’s office because .A.one of her children liked to play there | B.her son Paul needed an examination | C.she was tired and needed to see her doctor | D.she wanted to have all her children examined | 小题2:.From Paragraph 2, we know the writer felt that looking after her children alone was .A.unfair | B.happy | C.hard | D.interesting | 小题3:The writer criticized(批评) Paul when he .A.put the Lego into Bailey’s mouth | B.took away the toy from Bailey | C.made trouble in the waiting room | D.didn’t follow her advice | 小题4:What can we learn from the passage?A.The writer often went shopping alone. | B.The writer’s husband was always on business. | C.The writer doesn’t know how to be a good mother. | D.The writer was greatly encouraged by the old gentleman’s words. |

Mr Black once decided to travel by air on business because of some reason. He liked 16 beside a window when he was 17 ,so when he got onto the plane, he 18 a window seat. He 19 that all of them had already been taken 20 one, and there was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one. Mr Black was 21 that he had not taken the one by the window, but, anyhow, he at once went towards 22 . When he 23 it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it. It was written 24 ink and said,“This is reserved for proper load balance. Thank you.” Mr Black had never seen such a notice in a plane 25 ,but he thought that the plane 26 be carrying something particularly heavy in 27 baggage room which made 28 necessary to have passengers properly balanced, so he walked on and 29 another empty seat, not beside the 30 ,to sit in. Two or three other people tried 31 in the window seat beside the soldier, but they, too, 32 the notice and went on. Then, when the plane was nearly full, a very beautiful girl stepped into the plane. The soldier, who was 33 the passengers coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat beside him-and 34 that way succeeded in 35 the company of the girl during the whole of the trip.

It was a cold winter. The day my husband fell to his death, it started to snow, just 36 any November day. His 37 , when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it 38 . One morning, I walked slowly 39 and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman clearing my walk. I dropped to my knees and crawled back upstairs, 40 those good people would not see me. I was 41 . My first thought was, how would I ever 42 them? I didn’t have the 43 to brush my hair, 44 clear someone’s walk. Before Jon’s death, I felt proud that I 45 asked for favors. I identified myself by my competence(能力) and 46 . So who was I if I was no longer capable? How could I 47 myself if I just sat on the couch every day and watched the snow fall? Learning to receive the love and 48 from others wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried. Finally, my friend Kathy said, “Mary, cooking for you isn’t a 49 for me; it makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.” Over and over, I heard 50 words from the people who supported me during those 51 days. One wise man told me, “You aren’t doing nothing because being fully open to your 52 may be the hardest work you will ever do.” I am not the person I 53 was, but in many ways I have changed for the 54 . I’ve been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom coming from 55 one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.

If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival. Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but in fact eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction(反应) to fear. Finding a hiding place Unnecessary labor (劳动) will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys--- cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain. Signal(发信号) rescuers for help The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible--- it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket ( a special blanket for traveling ), build three smoky fires and put your blanket ---gold side facing out --- on the ground. Do not walk away It will make finding you more difficult , as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it. If you get frostbitten(冻伤) , do not rewarm the affected area until you are out of danger. You can walk on frostbitten(冻伤) feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued. 小题1: When lost in the mountains, you can increase your chances of survival if you _____.A.take a space blanket with you | B.do more physical labor | C.try to find a car immediately | D.walk as far as possible | 小题2: According to the passage, people most probably fail to survive if they ______A.do not take enough equipment | B.stay in the middle of the mountain | C.do not keep themselves warm | D.stay in a snow-covered area | 小题3:What can we infer from the passage?A.Don’t travel by yourself | B.Mountain traveling is dangerous | C.Don’t get frightened in danger | D.Avoid going to unfamiliar places | 小题4: Which statement is not true according to the passage?A.If lost in the mountains, you must try to find a way out quickly. | B.Stay out of the valleys when looking for a hiding place | C.The best time to signal rescuers is during the day | D.With a space blanket, you can put it on the ground---gold side facing out |

As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods. “The woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friends house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “Oh, he’s out in the woods, ” with a tone(语气) of airy acceptance. It is similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk.” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while. We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring(探索). Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Indian burial mound. Often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we visited regularly—tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in. It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us had reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence(青春期). In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria. 小题1:The author and his friends were often out in the woods to _______.A.spend their free time | B.play golf and other sports | C.avoid doing their schoolwork | D.keep away from their parents | 小题2:What can we infer from Paragraph 2 ?A.The activities in the woods were well planned. | B.Human history is not the result of exploration. | C.Exploration should be a systematic activity. | D.The author explored in the woods aimlessly. | 小题3:The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.A.calm | B.doubtful | C.serious | D.optimistic | 小题4:How does the author feel about his childhood?A.Happy but short. | B.Lonely but memorable. | C.Boring and meaningless. | D.Long and unforgettable. |

Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.I had been abroad a couple of times, 36 I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent.Moreover, my 37 of foreign languages was 38 to a little college French.

But I’ll accept anxiety as another name for 55 and I believe I can accomplish wonders.
