One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?”  Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug in his ear —maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”
Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.
When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”
小题1:The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of_________.
A.a friend who is illB.a man working at his desk
C.a person having lost a close friendD.a stranger who looks somewhat worried
小题2:George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his________.
A.cheerfulnessB.clevernessC.abilityD.politeness
小题3:The underlined ‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’ in the 1st paragraph means that you’ve _____.
A.made him laugh B.shown concern for him
C.made fun of himD.given him some kind of warning

The rumors had been spreading for months but it still came as a shock when the hospital would be closing. It had served this poor neighborhood for nearly 100 years but it would close because of the health care crisis.
The day after the announcement co-workers found out that pretzels(椒盐饼干) had been eliminated. Soft pretzels are the lifeblood of this city. So losing access to soft pretzels is no small matter.
I said, “I only have $6. I’m not sure how many pretzels I need. You see, I work at a hospital and it’s closing and they stopped selling pretzels.” The man’s smile disappeared. “What hospital?” “Oh, Northeastern Hospital.”
The guy looked deeply shocked. “I used to sell medical supplies and that was one of my hospitals.” Then he turned around and grabbed a box of 25 pretzels and slid them across the counter.
I was surprised by his generosity and started to reach for my wallet, “Oh I can pay. Please let me …” The guy smiled, “Just tell them Joe Sullivan said to do something nice for someone else.”
And so that day everyone in medical records was treated to a soft pretzel. Word spread fast as people came asking, “Is it really true?” It was as if I’d carried in a box of gold. It mattered to them that a stranger cared.

American author Mark Twain once noted that “life would be surely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.” Twain’s words were only one of many complaints about aging. The ancient Greek poet Homer called old age “hateful”, and William Shakespeare termed it “terrible winter”.
Alexander the Great, who conquered most of the known world before he died around 323 B.C., may have been looking for a river that healed the ravages of age. During the 12th century A.D., a king called Prester John ruled a land that had a river of gold and a fountain of youth.
But the name linked most closely to the search for a fountain of youth is 16th-century Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon. He thought it would be found in Florida. In St. Augustine, the oldest city in the U.S., there’s a tourist attraction. It is said to be the fountain of youth that Ponce de Leon discovered soon after he arrived in what is now Florida in 1513. However, elderly visitors who drink the spring’s water don’t turn into teenagers.
But the tale of the search for a fountain of youth is so appealing(有吸引力的) that it survives anyway, says Ryan K. Smith, a professor of history. “People are more attracted by the story of looking and not finding than they are by the idea that the fountain might be out there somewhere.”
Still, a few grains of truth have helped to support the story. Kathleen Deagan, a professor of archaeology, says a graveyard and the remains of a Spanish mission dating back to St. Augustine’s founding in 1565 have been discovered near the so-called fountain of youth. Michelle Reyna, a spokesperson for the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine, says the fountain has been a tourist attraction since at least 1901 and may have been attracting visitors since 1860.
小题1:According to the passage, who searched for a fountain of youth?
A.Ponce de LeonB.William Shakespeare.C.Kathleen DeaganD.Michelle Reyna
小题2:What does the underlined word “ravages” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A.Growth.B.Limits. C.Damages. D.Benefits.
小题3:What is the attitude of people towards the fountain of youth?
A.People find much pleasure in looking for it.
B.People believe the existence of it somewhere.
C.People have no interest in searching for it.
D.People consider the idea of the fountain of youth absurd(荒谬的).
小题4:The passage mainly tells us _____.
A.how the fountain of youth came into being
B.why some famous people hate becoming old
C.how to remain young forever
D.whether the fountain of youth exists
小题5:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The underlined words “the story” refers to Alexander the Great ruling a land that had a river of gold and a fountain of youth.
B.Augustine, which is the oldest city in the U.S, lies in Florida.
C.Some elderly visitors find themselves younger after drinking the water from the fountain of youth.
D.Kathleen Deagan is the spokesperson for the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park.

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their ears, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货) saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that,several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced (影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
小题1:Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A.The man’s job was bike racing.B.It was their only possession.
C.It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D.They used it for work and daily life
小题2:We can infer from the text that ________
A.The couple worked 60 hours a weekB.people were busy before Christmas
C.the stranger brought over the bikeD.life was hard for the young family
小题3:How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A.From radio broadcasts.B.From a newspaper.
C.From TV news.D.From a stranger.
小题4:What does the couple learn from their experience?
A.Strangers are usually of little help.B.One should take care of their bike.
C.News reports make people famous.D.An act of kindness can mean a lot.
