For a couple of weeks we went back to find dead crickets in the laundry. He suggested that we’d all be better off to hide as many as we could from Mamma. I fed a few dozen to the cat who I didn’t like because he scratched for no reason.
However, soon live crickets started showing up in the kitchen and bathroom. Mamma was upset because she thought they were the dead crickets coming back, but Dad said these were certainly new ones. He fetched his jug of poison and sprayed all over until the whole house smelled of poison, and then he sprayed the basement again.
A couple of weeks later, when both live and dead crickets kept turning up, Dad emptied the basement of junk. Then he burned a lot of old newspapers and magazines which he said the crickets had turned into nests.
While we ate supper that evening, the wind lifted some flames onto the wood pile. The only gasoline was in the lawn mower’s(割草机) fuel tank but that was enough to create an explosion big enough to reach the house. Once the roof caught, there wasn’t much anyone could do.
After the fire trucks left, Mamma took the others to Aunt Gail’s. I helped Dad and Uncle Burt carry things out of the house and pile them by the road. We worked into the night and we didn’t talk much, while all around the noise of crickets broke our silence.

试题分析:本文讲述了作者妈妈不能忍受蟋蟀的叫声,父亲用毒药毒死蟋蟀后再焚烧它们的身体时不小心引着了木堆,割草机油箱中的汽油发生爆炸并波及到房屋,作者的妈妈带着其他人去了Gail婶婶家,作者和爸爸还有Burt叔叔把房屋中的东西搬出去后堆放在路边,并一直忙到晚上,此时打破他们之间沉默的还是蟋蟀的叫声这一故事。
小题1:推理题,第一段中提到作者的爸爸能够容忍在地下室中有几只昆虫,而作者的妈妈在城市中长大,说蟋蟀太吵了,为了证明这一点,她不肯睡觉,喝咖啡,吸烟,甚至要威胁离开,由此可知她根本不喜欢昆虫。故选A。
小题2:细节题,根据第一段中“Next morning she threatened to pack up and leave, so Dad drove to the store and hurried back. He sprayed poison from a jug.”内容可知,在作者的妈妈的一番折腾后,作者的爸爸开车去商店买回了一些毒药。故选B。
小题3:细节题。根据第四段最后一句“Then he burned a lot of old newspapers and magazines which he said the crickets had turned into nests. ”爸爸焚烧了大量旧报纸和旧杂志,说蟋蟀已经把报纸和杂志变成了窝。故选C。
小题4:推理题,作者的爸爸用毒药***死一些蟋蟀,之后木堆起火,割草机油箱中的汽油发生爆炸并波及到房屋,作者的妈妈带着其他人去了Gail婶婶家,作者和爸爸还有Burt叔叔把房屋中的东西搬出去后堆放在路边,并一直忙到晚上,此时打破他们之间沉默的还是蟋蟀的叫声,由此可推断在与蟋蟀的战争中,作者一家失败了。故选A。

Tiffany’s mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn’t give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.
Whenever I didn’t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany’s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”. I couldn’t understand her. “She shouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!” I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”
One day, I couldn’t help saying to Mom, “Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?” I burst out crying.
My mom sat down next to me and said softly. “Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”
I looked up at her. “What are you talking about?”
Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something. Maybe she’ll find out that she can’t have it. Her mother won’t always be around to give her money, and what’s more, money can’t buy everything.”
It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom’s words. Now I am a happy and successful woman.

Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don"t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague(同事) fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don"t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
小题1:According to the passage, winners_______________.
A.deal with problems rather than blame others |
B.meet with fewer difficulties in their eyes |
C.have responsible and able colleagues |
D.blame themselves rather than others |

C.improve | D.consider |
A.find a better way to deal with the problem |
B.blame him for his lack of responsibility |
C.tell him to find the cause of the problem |
D.ask a more able colleague for help |
A.A Winner"s Achievement. | B.A Winner"s Problem. |
C.A Winner"s Opportunity. | D.A Winner"s Secret. |
Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions (feelings), our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We, too.get ready to defend ourselves or run.
Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger —or hit somebody—and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?
It isn"t always clever to express your feelings freely.
Does this mean that it"s smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop.It can actually be bad for your health.(It isn"t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.)
Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don"t just go away.It"s as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them.but before long you" d smell them.And if you opened the cupboard, chances are that you"d see little fruit flies flying all over them.They"d be rotten.
You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don"t exist, but they"ll still be around.And at last you"ll have to deal with them.just like those bananas.

C.have more problems than animals |
D.have cleverer problems than animals |

B.they won"t exist any more |
C.they will fly all over |
D.your body stays tense |
A.tell us that it isn"t good to keep feelings inside |
B.give us some advice on how to express our feelings |
C.make us face the problem that we have to deal with feelings |
D.make us know that it isn"t always wise to express our feelings freely |
As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him. He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity. His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him.
During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice (安养院) came to the home to regulate his medication and provide any other needed support. He didn"t complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him.
Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others. You often can"t learn these important attributes in the lap of luxury, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind.

D.Getting comfort from God. |
