A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer’s hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery (火红的) ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.
The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. “It’s getting late,” she thought, “I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am.”
She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.
It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on: it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... It all seemed deserted. She couldn’t understand what was going on.
She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said: “Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking.” Ellen was her mother but — where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents’ room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn’t slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different... she wasn’t in her mother’s room and she wasn’t wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas (睡衣).
It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, “Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared.”
小题1: The writer describes the beautiful sunset to show Jennifer’s ______.

小题3:Her father didn’t take care of the garden because ______.
A.he was busy looking for her

C.As Jennifer walked towards home, she became increasingly scared.
D.Having experienced a lot outside, Jennifer felt home was safest for her.

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireplace in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theatres, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry had a place in everyday life.
How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and they can do well without poems?
There are, I believe, three culprits (肇事者): poets, teachers and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed (背叛) us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions hostile (不利的) to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.
Poets failed the readers, so did the teachers. They want their students to know something about the craft (技巧) of a poem, and they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.
小题1: Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because _______.
A.it built a link among peopleB.it helped unite a community
C.it was a source of self-educationD.it was a source of pleasure
小题2:The underlined word “diversion” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.
A.diversityB.change C.amusementsD.happiness
小题3:In the last paragraph, the writer questions _______.
A.the difficulty in studying poems
B.the way poems are taught in school
C.students’ wrong ideas about poetry
D.the techniques used in writing poems
小题4:According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?
A.Poems have become difficult to understand.
B.Students are poorly educated in high school.
C.TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.
D.Students are becoming less interested in poetry.

Did you know that there are gifts that will multiply your happiness when you give them away? Here are five of those gifts. Giving these gifts will allow you to share with others your most unique treasure: your real self. Each gift will return to you many times.
1. Share appreciation
Tell someone how much you appreciate the faith they"ve shown in you. Thank them sincerely for being part of your life. Tell them how much they are needed.
Feeling appreciated is one of the most important needs that people have. When you share with someone your appreciation and gratitude, they will not forget you. Appreciation will return to you many times.
2. Share time
Balance your time expenditures (耗费)so you can spend time with the people that you love. Support local organizations by sharing your special talents. Volunteer time for projects that benefit others in your community, country, and world.
When we slow down and observe our thoughts closely, we will sometimes uncover gifts and talents we didn"t know we had. Sharing time and talents can result in discoveries that bring happiness beyond measure.
3. Share knowledge and ideas
Tell someone about a great book that you read so they can benefit from it too. Teach a new concept or idea that you"ve learned.
One of the best ways to strengthen new concepts in your mind is to share them with others. The more often you share what you"ve learned, the stronger that information will become in your memory. Sharing knowledge also provides solutions to problems. The more knowledge we share, the more knowledge we receive in return.
4. Share friendship
Acknowledge someone"s strengths. Let them know that you are willing to be there when they need you. Visit someone you haven"t seen for a long time. Telephone friends or relatives who live far away. Introduce two friends who don"t know each other.
Bringing one individual into another"s life can result in tremendous changes for both people, and for you. We succeed with the help of others. People grow by growing together. If you"d like to have many friends, then share friendship with others generously.
5. Share kindness
Perform a random act of kindness for someone: a smile, compliment, or a favor just for fun. These will multiply and spread very rapidly.
There is a powerful quote by Stephen Jay Gould who said, “The center of human nature is rooted in ten thousand ordinary acts of kindness that define our days.” Kindness is priceless. The love, kindnesses, and value we have given authentically to others will be our remaining treasures at the end of life.
Think about this statement by Norman MacEwan: “Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
小题1: What is the best title of this passage?
A.We want to share.B.Give your presents away.
C.We make a life by giving.D.Don’t be mean to give.
小题2: What can we learn from Stephen Jay Gould’s words?
A.We all come from a world which is in a harmonious atmosphere.
B.Everybody’s deep heart is filled with kindness at first, which decides our present life.
C.Kindness is the most important thing in our daily life.
D.We need kindness all the time.
小题3: For those who are living a life on the go, what suggestion will the writer probably give to them?

B.No one is an isolated island. We succeed with the help of others
C.The more knowledge we share, the more knowledge we receive in return.
