When I was walking back home at around 12:15 pm during my lunch break one day, an apple came flying toward me. It landed just before my feet. I was surprised and thought I was very lucky not to get hit by it.
The apple was thrown over the fence by a school student. I live opposite a school. A wall separates my apartment building from the school.
Thinking it was a one﹣off experience, I told my friends, and we laughed about it.
Then, the week after, I was walking along exactly the same spot at exactly the same time and bam!Another apple came over. This time it landed on the roof of a shed(棚屋)
“Is it my destiny(命运) to get hit by an apple? ”
Last week I was walking back home. I checked my phone. It was 12:15 pm. I kept thinking about those two times before when I’d seen an apple thrown over the wall. But suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by ANOTHER flying apple!This one was a big one. Only one bite(一口) had been taken out of it
Enough was enough. Someone could be really hurt by these apples. Did the student(s)not realize that people live across the wall? Or do they not care?
I told my friend about it. ”You should just throw the apple back over the wall. That will teach them, ”my friend suggested. But I don’t want to play that “game”. As they say, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. Besides, I might end up hurting someone when I throw it back.

One day, Kelly’s father invited her to visit a marine park with him. When they entered the ocean, the beauty of the underwater world surprised Kelly. Hundreds of kinds of colourful fishes were swimming around her.
Kelly saw how the plants and animals of the coral reef (珊瑚礁) lived together perfectly. She took many pictures with her father’s underwater camera. It was the most exciting experience of her life.
As they left the water, Kelly and her father heard a loud noise. They turned around and saw several speedboats filled with tourists racing towards the reef area.

When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase (行李箱) packed and some sandwiches in a bag. I started for the front door.
My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.
“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.
“Some clothes and food,” I replied.
“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”
I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”
This made me infuriated. I took my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all and shouted, “Can I go now?”
“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out or my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbour girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches. A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.
After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.
“It’s Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”
Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”
The door opened and mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.
“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.

“BANG!” the door was shut loudly. It was just standing there, with my father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” my father said angrily. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
I didn’t know whether it was because I had grown up or because my dad was getting old. He always put his opinions on me. We were just like two people in two different worlds. It felt like there was an iron door between us that could never be opened.
My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached my house, I saw that the light was still on.
“Perhaps my dad is throwing away some of his old stamps,” I thought. “Perhaps he thinks they are useless.” I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.
All the lights were off except my father’s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me he never showed any moments of regret. This was how he always was. He had been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do had become his second nature.
The light was still on. With the key in hand, I opened the door nervously. When I opened the door, tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist(存在).

There was a young man who was in trouble. He went bankrupt and his wife went away from him. From then on, failure was all that he had seen. Struggling with this, he went into the forest alone. There, he met an old man who had lived there for a long time. He shared his story with the old man and asked, “Can you give me one good reason not to give up?”
“Look,” the old man said, “Do you see that fern (蕨类植物) and bamboo there?”
“Yes.” the man answered.
“When I planted the fern and bamboo seeds, I watered them carefully. Within a few days, the fern quickly grew from the land,” the old man went on.

He was there every morning, sitting still on the front steps of his house. In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched (蚀刻) deep within the lines around his eyes.
Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her school. We were new to the neighborhood so I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm (热情). But her cheerfulness soonfadedwhen the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.
As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” Later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.
A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi, Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t answer. But then she ran onto his front garden and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.
As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he made a reply. In a soft gentle voice, he thanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”
From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greetings each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But, the sweetest day was when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift—a book on recognizing various plants and trees. There, collected in the pages that described an oak tree, was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr. Man when they met. He had dried and pressed it and kept it all these years.

He heard Mama coming down the hall.
“Did you do this?” his mother asked. Calvin looked out from under the covers. His mother stood over him, holding a rubber spider.

Twelve Dancing Princesses is a German fairy tale. It is included in the Children’s and Household Tales (《格林童话》) by the Grimm brothers.
Tramper could feel the stony road through the holes in his boots. A newspaper blew by. Tramper picked it up and sat down to cover the holes in his boots with the paper.
A weak old lady stared at him.
“You think you have shoe troubles!” she said. “The King has twelve girls and all of them have holes in their slippers!”
The old lady’s feet were bare (光脚的), cut and purple from the cold. Tramper felt sorry for her, so he gave her his shabby boots. To thank him, she gave Tramper her dirty cloak (斗篷). As she walked away down the road, she called, “Stay awake. Drink no drop. Taste no cup.”
“A strange way to say goodbye,” thought Tramper.

PALACE NOTICE
WANTED: Answer to the Mystery of the Worn Slippers.
REWARD: Princess’ hand in marriage.

“Well, we could use some hot dogs.” I was at the local charity food pantry (慈善食品分发处). They had a thrift shop (旧货商店) connected to it where I would sometimes stop to pick up sweatshirts or books for my sons. Sometimes I would also step back into the food pantry and ask if they needed anything. I got help from food pantries when I was a young father with a hungry family. Now, I like to give back.
This time I could see that most of the shelves were stocked with boxes and cans given by stores. One thing they said they needed was meat, however. Hot dogs were cheap and I didn’t mind getting some. I soon went to the local store and filled my cart (购物车) with all the hot dogs I could afford.
As I was paying for them, I thought of my own childhood. I could see my mum boiling two hot dogs in a pot. Next she put each one on a slice of white bread with a piece of cheese. To top it off, she would add a little tomato sauce (酱). It didn’t cost much, but to me it was a big meal, cooked with love, eaten with joy.
That memory warmed my heart as I dropped off the hot dogs at the food pantry. It felt good knowing that some other little boy or girl out there would soon be having a happy lunch. I left the pantry with a smile on my face. And as I walked to my car, I could feel my mum smiling down on me from heaven (天堂).
The truth is that, when done with love, giving and receiving are the same thing. It all comes back around again.

Several times my daughter had telephoned to ask me to see the daffodils before they are over. I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead.
After her third call, I promised to drive to my daughter’s house. When I finally arrived at her home and hugged my grandchildren, I said, “Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is in the clouds and fogs, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!” My daughter smiled calmly and said, “I was hoping you’d take me over to the garage (修车厂) to pick up my car. I’ll drive. I’m used to this.”
After several minutes, I found that wasn’t the way to the garage! Carolyn smiled, “We are going to the garage the long way. It’s by way of the daffodils.” Hearing that, l got angry and asked her to turn around. “It’s all right, mother. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience,” my daughter said.
After 20 minutes, we turned onto a small path and I saw a hand-lettered sign that read “Daffodil Garden”. We got out of the car and each took a child’s hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned to a corner of the path. Before me lay the most glorious sight. There were five acres (亩) of flowers!
“But who has done this?” I asked Carolyn.
Carolyn pointed to a well-kept house. We walked up to the house where we saw a poster.
“Answers to the Questions I know You Are Asking” was the headline.
The first answer was a simple one. “50,000 bulbs,” it read.
The second answer was, “One at a time, by one woman, two hands.”
The third answer was, “Began in 1958.”
For me, that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than 35 years before, had begun—one bulb at a time, year after year—to bring her vision of beauty and joy to a mountain top. She had forever changed the world in which she lived and created beauty and inspiration.
It made me sad in a way. I admitted to Carolyn. “What might I have if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty-five or forty years ago?” My daughter answered in her usual direct way. “Start tomorrow,” she said.

“Amy! Milk!” Mama called.
Milk. It was Amy’s turn to get it. Amy sighed and shut her first-aid(急救) book.
Amy tied the cow close to a tree. Somewhere down the mountain, some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses. Amy heard Betty drive off hours ago. “She should have taken me with her. She thinks I’m too young,” Amy thought. “But she’s wrong. I am already 15!”
Amy carried the milk back to Mama, and then wandered up the road. Roy, a village boy, was trying to stand on a horse’s back. “No wonder they don’t trust kids with anything important,” Amy thought.
She had just turned away when she heard a heavy fall and a few cries. Roy was on the ground. “Roy!” The kids nearby ran towards him. “Get Betty,” one said. Amy shook her head. “Betty’s gone to the city.”
The kids didn’t know what to do. Amy ran to Roy and saw one of his legs out of shape. A broken leg! She remembered what the first-aid book said about it.
“Victor!” Amy called to one of the boys. “Go get Roy’s mama and find someone with a truck.” She turned to the others. “Give me your shirts. We need something to tie his leg with.”
Amy then found a strong, straight stick. She carefully wrapped the shirts around Roy’s leg and the stick. Roy cried out in pain. “I know it hurts,” Amy said softly. “But this will hold it still until you get to the hospital.”
When Amy was done, she looked up and saw Roy’s mama and a man watching beside a truck. “Thank you, Amy,” Roy’s mama said. Amy helped them lift Roy into the truck, and then they drove down the hillside towards the hospital.
The next day, Betty came to Amy’s home. “I heard what you did,” Betty said. “You kept your head in an emergency. That’s an important skill.”
Amy’s face turned red. “I was afraid...”
Betty shook her head. “It’s OK for a nurse to be afraid, as long as she has a clear head. The volunteer doctors are coming tomorrow with vaccines(疫苗). We need some more hands. Can you help?”
“I’d love to,” Amy replied at once.
“Come early then. There is a lot to learn.” Amy smiled. “I’ll bring my first-aid book.”

One day when I was 5, my mother scolded me for not finishing my breakfast and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my breakfast. When angrily opening the screen door with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. My parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defense against unwanted insects.
For years, every time I saw that comer of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all.

When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.
My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.
“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.
“Some clothes and food,” I replied.
“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”
I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”
This made me infuriated. I took my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all and shouted, “Can I go now?”
“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed two neighbour girls walking towards our house down the street. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches. A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.
After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.
“It’s Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”
Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”
The door opened and mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.
“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.

Jake and Max are twin brothers who have passion for volunteering. Their family has always done community services, and at a young age, they asked guests to donate money towards a charity. Jake and Max have chosen Cookies for Kids Cancer and the American Heart Association, as well as donations (捐赠) to several local places. They came up with some really creative ways to help their community, such as donating a guide dog to the blind.
When they were seven, Jake and Max were interested in volunteering with a family friend at the local homeless shelter to help to cook. Unfortunately, he turned them down because they were too young and had to be fourteen to cook.

Kids That Do Good even has two student board of directors, Steven and Jordan, who are also active in community service, as well as a group of adult advisers.
Jake and Max are busy with school and after-class activities and other community service promises. Kids That Do Good has blog posts that advise kids on building their own charitable event.

After saying goodbye to Captain Black-eye Jack and One-legged Rosie, Jessica decided it would be a good idea to paint some pictures to help her remember them.
While the paintings dried, Jessica noticed a long line of trucks driving into the park and stopped in a large playing field. “Vanessa Feather’s Famous Flying Circus,” Jessica read out.
“If we joined the circus, we would be able to travel around and have adventures,” with the thought, Jessica marched up to the two children, a boy and a girl who were practising.
“Hello,” she said. “My name’s Jessica and this is Zebedee. We thought your act was fantastic and we’d like to join your circus to be acrobats.”
“Hi, I’m Shula,” said the girl. “Mum’s the ringmaster. You’ll have to talk to her if you want to join us.”
“Well,” Vanessa said after listening to Jessica, “we’d be happy to teach you to be an acrobat if you seem good at it. Why don’t you have a go on the swing now?”
Jessica reached the top of the pole, took hold of the swing, sat down and pushed off. However, she was so afraid that she was stuck.
Vanessa helped her down kindly. “I’m so sorry,” said Jessica, when she had stopped shaking.
“Now, don’t worry, you never know if you can do something until you try,” said Vanessa. “Stay with us for a while. There are plenty of things to do on the ground.”
During her stay with the circus, Jessica painted pictures of her new friends.
When it was time for the circus to leave, Jessica and Zebedee felt very sad. They watched the truck disappear.
As it was raining, Jessica decided to go into the shopping mall. They sat down on a bench, and Jessica took out her paintings to remind them of the friends they had made.
“Zebedee, how are we going to make our way in the world?” As they sat lost in thought, a crowd came around the pictures.
“I’ll have that one, dearie,” a voice said. “The one of the man with the patch. He reminds me of my brother Jake. How much?”
“Oh it isn’t for…” began Jessica, and then she noticed the crowd. Suddenly she had a wonderful idea.
“£10,” she said loudly.
“I’ll take it,” said the woman.
It seemed everyone wanted a picture. Lots of children had been to the circus and wanted a picture of their favourite act. An old lady took two portraits of Zebedee. A young man wanted the portraits of One-legged Rosie.
Soon Jessica had no pictures left, but she did have quite a lot of money.
“Look at this,” she cried. “We can make our way in the world and have adventures after all.”

At noon that day, I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was the sound of my favorite violin.
“Thief!”
I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.
Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile. I asked, “Are you Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael? I’m his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. You’re really like him!”
Hearing my words, the boy was first astonished but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gone out? I think I’d better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while.”
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much?”
“Yes, but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it,” the boy replied.
“Then I give this violin to you.” The boy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back.
I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper’s photo.
A few years later, at a music competition of senior high school students in Melbourne, I was invited to judge the final. Finally, a violin player called Merritt won the first prize with his strength!
After the award, Merritt ran to me holding a violin box, excited, asked,“Mr. Brian, do you still know me? You have given me a violin which I have been treasuring until today! Today, I can give back this violin to you without regret...” It turned out that he was “Mr. Ram’s nephew Michael”!
Tears welled up in my eyes.
60. Who is the author?
A. The house owner. B. The housekeeper.
C. The boy’s uncle. D. The boy's teacher.
61. Why did the author address the boy “Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael”?
A. Because Michael is the boy’s name.
B. Because he mistook the boy for Michael.
C. Because he wanted to protect the boy’s self-respect.
D. Because he would like to make friends with the boy.
62. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. The boy became a senior high school student.
B. The writer knew the boy would win the competition.
C. The boy had taken good care of the violin for many years.
D. The writer knew the boy really like the violin very much.
63. What message does the story tell?

Huckleberry Finn’s father treated him very badly, so he faked (伪造) his own death and ran away. He met Miss Watson’s black slave Jim who also ran away and they became good friends. While they were travelling together, Huck found out that Jim was now owned by the Phelps, who happened to be the aunt and uncle of Tom Sawyer. He planned to save Jim disguised as Tom. It was easy for him to be Tom Sawyer because Tom was Huck’s best friend.
Huck went to see the Phelps and talked with them about the Sawyer family happily. Suddenly he heard a boat on the river. “Tom could be on the boat,” he thought, “and he’s going to walk in here and call out my name before I can stop him. I’ve got to go and meet him.”
So, he told Phelps that he would go into town to get his bags, which were at the boat station. On his halfway to town,his mouth fell open and he looked a bit white in the face.
“Aren’t you dead?” Tom said. “Everybody said that you were murdered!”
“I’m not dead yet,” Huck said, “but listen…” Huck told Tom about his adventures and Tom loved all that.
Tom thought for a bit, and then he said, “I know. You take my bags and say they’re yours. I’ll come to the house in about half an hour.”
“All right,” Huck said, “but there’s another thing. You know old Miss Watson’s slave Jim, he’s a prisoner there, and I’m going to help him escape.”
“Jim?” Tom asked. “But he’s…” Then he stopped and thought. “Right. I’ll help, too. I’ll make a good plan.” He looked very excited.
Huck went back to the house with the bags, and Tom came along half an hour later. Tom told Aunt Polly that he was Sid, Tom’s brother. Aunt Polly was very pleased to see Tom and Sid. Later Jim was held in a shed and Tom had a risky escape plan. As they carried out their plan, a group of farmers came chasing them. Tom was shot in the leg. Jim was recaptured when Tom passed out.
When Tom woke up, he revealed (透露) that Jim had been free for weeks after his owner Miss Watson died two months ago. He did not tell Huck because he wanted a risky plan to rescue Jim.

When I was walking back home at around 12:15 pm during my lunch break one day, an apple came flying toward me. It landed just before my feet. I was surprised and thought I was very lucky not to get hit by it.
The apple was thrown over the fence by a school student. I live opposite a school. A wall separates my apartment building from the school.
Thinking it was a one﹣off experience, I told my friends, and we laughed about it.
Then, the week after, I was walking along exactly the same spot at exactly the same time and bam!Another apple came over. This time it landed on the roof of a shed(棚屋)
“Is it my destiny(命运) to get hit by an apple? ”
Last week I was walking back home. I checked my phone. It was 12:15 pm. I kept thinking about those two times before when I’d seen an apple thrown over the wall. But suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by ANOTHER flying apple!This one was a big one. Only one bite(一口) had been taken out of it
Enough was enough. Someone could be really hurt by these apples. Did the student(s)not realize that people live across the wall? Or do they not care?
I told my friend about it. ”You should just throw the apple back over the wall. That will teach them, ”my friend suggested. But I don’t want to play that “game”. As they say, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. Besides, I might end up hurting someone when I throw it back.

When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase (行李箱) packed and some sandwiches in a bag. I started for the front door.
My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.
“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.
“Some clothes and food,” I replied.
“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”
I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”

“BANG!” the door was shut loudly. It was just standing there, with my father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” my father said angrily. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
I didn’t know whether it was because I had grown up or because my dad was getting old. He always put his opinions on me. We were just like two people in two different worlds. It felt like there was an iron door between us that could never be opened.
My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached my house, I saw that the light was still on.
“Perhaps my dad is throwing away some of his old stamps,” I thought. “Perhaps he thinks they are useless.” I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.
All the lights were off except my father’s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me he never showed any moments of regret. This was how he always was. He had been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do had become his second nature.
The light was still on. With the key in hand, I opened the door nervously. When I opened the door, tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist(存在).
13. Why did the writer run out and walk alone on the street?

There was a young man who was in trouble. He went bankrupt and his wife went away from him. From then on, failure was all that he had seen. Struggling with this, he went into the forest alone. There, he met an old man who had lived there for a long time. He shared his story with the old man and asked, “Can you give me one good reason not to give up?”
“Look,” the old man said, “Do you see that fern (蕨类植物) and bamboo there?”
“Yes.” the man answered.
“When I planted the fern and bamboo seeds, I watered them carefully. Within a few days, the fern quickly grew from the land,” the old man went on.
“However, I watered the bamboo seed for years, it still didn’t sprout. But I didn’t give up and continued looking after it. In the fifth year, a small sprout came out of the land. Within six months, the tree grew a hundred feet tall.”
“The little bamboo tree had been growing underground in the past four years, developing a root strong enough for its ground growth in the fifth year. If it hadn’t done this, it would not be so strong. So you know, all the time you were struggling, you were actually growing strong roots.” the old man said.

He was there every morning, sitting still on the front steps of his house. In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched (蚀刻) deep within the lines around his eyes.
Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her school. We were new to the neighborhood so I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm (热情). But her cheerfulness soonfadedwhen the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.
As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” Later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.
A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi, Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t answer. But then she ran onto his front garden and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.
As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he made a reply. In a soft gentle voice, he thanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”
From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greetings each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But, the sweetest day was when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift—a book on recognizing various plants and trees. There, collected in the pages that described an oak tree, was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr. Man when they met. He had dried and pressed it and kept it all these years.
21. What puzzled the girl?
A. The cause of the man’s sadness. B. The shadows in the man’s eyes.
C. The man’s sitting still on the steps. D. The man’s not answering her greeting.
22. The underlined word “faded” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. continued B. improved C. increased D. disappeared

A. She was nervous about what would go on. B. She was proud of her daughter.
C. She felt happy to see the changes of the man. D. She felt it strange to do so.
24. Why did Bob keep that little red leaf?

C. It was care and kindness from the girl. D. It showed his rich knowledge of trees.

Calvin waited outside Trudy’s bedroom. Then it happened——a scream, a very loud scream. Calvin ran to his room and dived into bed.
He heard Mama coming down the hall.
“Did you do this?” his mother asked. Calvin looked out from under the covers. His mother stood over him, holding a rubber spider.
“Do what?” he asked.
“You put that thing in my bed,” Trudy told him, stepping out from behind Mama.
“Don’t think that just because it’s your birthday you can get away with something like this,” Mama scolded (责骂).

Twelve Dancing Princesses is a German fairy tale. It is included in the Children’s and Household Tales (《格林童话》) by the Grimm brothers.
Tramper could feel the stony road through the holes in his boots. A newspaper blew by. Tramper picked it up and sat down to cover the holes in his boots with the paper.
A weak old lady stared at him.
“You think you have shoe troubles!” she said. “The King has twelve girls and all of them have holes in their slippers!”
The old lady’s feet were bare (光脚的), cut and purple from the cold. Tramper felt sorry for her, so he gave her his shabby boots. To thank him, she gave Tramper her dirty cloak (斗篷). As she walked away down the road, she called, “Stay awake. Drink no drop. Taste no cup.”
“A strange way to say goodbye,” thought Tramper.
It rained. Tramper put on the cloak and tried to read what was left of the wet newspaper. As it fell apart in his hands he read:
PALACE NOTICE
WANTED: Answer to the Mystery of the Worn Slippers.
REWARD: Princess’ hand in marriage.
WARNING: All those who fail will be locked up.
“Why not?” thought Tramper. “I bet I could solve the mystery. I’ve got nothing to lose. I don’t even have any boots.” And when he looked down, his feet were gone too. His feet, legs and body had gone. He was invisible. “The cloak is magic!” he said.
The king’s twelve daughters were a mystery. Each night they took off their silk slippers and went to bed. But each morning their silk slippers were full of holes, and the girls were tired out.
How could it happen? The girls’ bedroom door was locked, so they could not get out. How could it go on? (to be continued...)

“Well, we could use some hot dogs.” I was at the local charity food pantry (慈善食品分发处). They had a thrift shop (旧货商店) connected to it where I would sometimes stop to pick up sweatshirts or books for my sons. Sometimes I would also step back into the food pantry and ask if they needed anything. I got help from food pantries when I was a young father with a hungry family. Now, I like to give back.
This time I could see that most of the shelves were stocked with boxes and cans given by stores. One thing they said they needed was meat, however. Hot dogs were cheap and I didn’t mind getting some. I soon went to the local store and filled my cart (购物车) with all the hot dogs I could afford.
As I was paying for them, I thought of my own childhood. I could see my mum boiling two hot dogs in a pot. Next she put each one on a slice of white bread with a piece of cheese. To top it off, she would add a little tomato sauce (酱). It didn’t cost much, but to me it was a big meal, cooked with love, eaten with joy.
That memory warmed my heart as I dropped off the hot dogs at the food pantry. It felt good knowing that some other little boy or girl out there would soon be having a happy lunch. I left the pantry with a smile on my face. And as I walked to my car, I could feel my mum smiling down on me from heaven (天堂).
The truth is that, when done with love, giving and receiving are the same thing. It all comes back around again.

Several times my daughter had telephoned to ask me to see the daffodils before they are over. I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead.
After her third call, I promised to drive to my daughter’s house. When I finally arrived at her home and hugged my grandchildren, I said, “Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is in the clouds and fogs, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!” My daughter smiled calmly and said, “I was hoping you’d take me over to the garage (修车厂) to pick up my car. I’ll drive. I’m used to this.”
After several minutes, I found that wasn’t the way to the garage! Carolyn smiled, “We are going to the garage the long way. It’s by way of the daffodils.” Hearing that, l got angry and asked her to turn around. “It’s all right, mother. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience,” my daughter said.
After 20 minutes, we turned onto a small path and I saw a hand-lettered sign that read “Daffodil Garden”. We got out of the car and each took a child’s hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned to a corner of the path. Before me lay the most glorious sight. There were five acres (亩) of flowers!
“But who has done this?” I asked Carolyn.
Carolyn pointed to a well-kept house. We walked up to the house where we saw a poster.
“Answers to the Questions I know You Are Asking” was the headline.
The first answer was a simple one. “50,000 bulbs,” it read.
The second answer was, “One at a time, by one woman, two hands.”
The third answer was, “Began in 1958.”
For me, that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than 35 years before, had begun—one bulb at a time, year after year—to bring her vision of beauty and joy to a mountain top. She had forever changed the world in which she lived and created beauty and inspiration.
It made me sad in a way. I admitted to Carolyn. “What might I have if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty-five or forty years ago?” My daughter answered in her usual direct way. “Start tomorrow,” she said.
36. Why didn’t the woman want to see the daffodils at first?
A. Because her daughter’s car was broken. B. Because she got angry with her daughter.
C. Because it was too far for her to drive there. D. Because her grandchildren refused to go there.
37. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Pointing to a well-kept house. B. Growing five acres of flowers.
C. Seeing the five acres of flowers. D. Taking the writer to see the daffodils.
38. What is the writer’s attitude towards the woman who grew daffodils?
A. Doubtful. B. Hope. C. Worried. D. Respectful.
39. What can we learn from the story?
A. Seeing is believing. B. Out of sight, out of mind.
C. Rome was not built in a day. D. Failure is the mother of success.

“Amy! Milk!” Mama called.
Milk. It was Amy’s turn to get it. Amy sighed and shut her first-aid(急救) book.
Amy tied the cow close to a tree. Somewhere down the mountain, some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses. Amy heard Betty drive off hours ago. “She should have taken me with her. She thinks I’m too young,” Amy thought. “But she’s wrong. I am already 15!”
Amy carried the milk back to Mama, and then wandered up the road. Roy, a village boy, was trying to stand on a horse’s back. “No wonder they don’t trust kids with anything important,” Amy thought.
She had just turned away when she heard a heavy fall and a few cries. Roy was on the ground. “Roy!” The kids nearby ran towards him. “Get Betty,” one said. Amy shook her head. “Betty’s gone to the city.”
The kids didn’t know what to do. Amy ran to Roy and saw one of his legs out of shape. A broken leg! She remembered what the first-aid book said about it.
“Victor!” Amy called to one of the boys. “Go get Roy’s mama and find someone with a truck.” She turned to the others. “Give me your shirts. We need something to tie his leg with.”
Amy then found a strong, straight stick. She carefully wrapped the shirts around Roy’s leg and the stick. Roy cried out in pain. “I know it hurts,” Amy said softly. “But this will hold it still until you get to the hospital.”
When Amy was done, she looked up and saw Roy’s mama and a man watching beside a truck. “Thank you, Amy,” Roy’s mama said. Amy helped them lift Roy into the truck, and then they drove down the hillside towards the hospital.
The next day, Betty came to Amy’s home. “I heard what you did,” Betty said. “You kept your head in an emergency. That’s an important skill.”
Amy’s face turned red. “I was afraid...”
Betty shook her head. “It’s OK for a nurse to be afraid, as long as she has a clear head. The volunteer doctors are coming tomorrow with vaccines(疫苗). We need some more hands. Can you help?”
“I’d love to,” Amy replied at once.
“Come early then. There is a lot to learn.” Amy smiled. “I’ll bring my first-aid book.”
40. Why didn’t Betty take Amy with her to the medical training?
A. Amy was busy reading. B. Amy had to milk the cow.
C. Betty thought Amy wasn’t old enough. D. Betty left too early in the morning.
41. What happened to Roy?
A. He fell off the horseback. B. He was kicked by the horse.
C. He successfully stood on the horseback. D. He was pulled off the horseback by the kids.
42. Why did Betty invite Amy to help the doctors in the end?
A. Amy had a lot of experiences before.
B. Amy was cool-headed when giving first-aid.
C. Betty regretted not taking Amy to the training.
D. Betty realized that Amy had become a good doctor.
43. What lesson can we learn from the story?

B. Knowledge from books can help solve real-life problems.
C. Children need enough practice before they can be helpful.
D. Helping with housework is important to children’s health.

One day when I was 5, my mother scolded me for not finishing my breakfast and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my breakfast. When angrily opening the screen door with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. My parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defense against unwanted insects.
For years, every time I saw that comer of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or strict words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred strict messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.
44. The underlined word “remorse” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ________.
A. regret B. joy C. anger D. notice
45. When the author damaged the door, his parents ________.
A. gave him a spanking B. left the door unrepaired
C. scolded him for what he had done D. told him how expensive it was
46. The experience may cause the author ________.
A. to hide his anger away from others B. not to go against his parents’ will
C. to have a better control of himself D. not to make mistakes in the future
47. What is the main idea of this text?
A. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.
B. Parents are the best teachers of their children.
C. One learns most when shown the result of his/her action.
D. Silence sometimes helps kids learn more.

When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.
My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.
“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.
“Some clothes and food,” I replied.
“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”
I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”
This made me infuriated. I took my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all and shouted, “Can I go now?”
“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed two neighbour girls walking towards our house down the street. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches. A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.
After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.
“It’s Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”
Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”
The door opened and mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.
“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.

Jake and Max are twin brothers who have passion for volunteering. Their family has always done community services, and at a young age, they asked guests to donate money towards a charity. Jake and Max have chosen Cookies for Kids Cancer and the American Heart Association, as well as donations (捐赠) to several local places. They came up with some really creative ways to help their community, such as donating a guide dog to the blind.
When they were seven, Jake and Max were interested in volunteering with a family friend at the local homeless shelter to help to cook. Unfortunately, he turned them down because they were too young and had to be fourteen to cook. This led them on an endless task to come up with a way to help other kids who were also facing a similar challenge: wanting to help but being turned down because of their age.
So, Kids That Do Good was created to “show ways to kids or adults, at any age, they could take part in the community and make a difference.”
The small project that started with the twin brothers has grown into a large website that brings thousands of interested visitors each year. Jake and Max say that their website brings 35,000 unique viewers, and of those viewers, Kids That Do Good has connected kids to 16,000 organizations.
Kids That Do Good even has two student board of directors, Steven and Jordan, who are also active in community service, as well as a group of adult advisers.
Jake and Max are busy with school and after-class activities and other community service promises. Kids That Do Good has blog posts that advise kids on building their own charitable event.
52. According to the passage, Kids That Do Good is ________.
A. a school B. a website C. a homeless shelter D. a hospital
53. Why did the twins create Kids That Do Good?
A. To help people create charity organizations. B. To help kids go back to school.
C. To help people take part in voluntary work. D. To help the homeless kids and adults.
54. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Being refused to help to cook. B. A visit to the local homeless shelter.
C. Doing volunteering work. D. Helping to cook.
55. What is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The twins began to do volunteering work at school age.
B. At a young age, the twins wanted the guests to donate money to Kids That Do Good.

After saying goodbye to Captain Black-eye Jack and One-legged Rosie, Jessica decided it would be a good idea to paint some pictures to help her remember them.
While the paintings dried, Jessica noticed a long line of trucks driving into the park and stopped in a large playing field. “Vanessa Feather’s Famous Flying Circus,” Jessica read out.
“If we joined the circus, we would be able to travel around and have adventures,” with the thought, Jessica marched up to the two children, a boy and a girl who were practising.
“Hello,” she said. “My name’s Jessica and this is Zebedee. We thought your act was fantastic and we’d like to join your circus to be acrobats.”
“Hi, I’m Shula,” said the girl. “Mum’s the ringmaster. You’ll have to talk to her if you want to join us.”
“Well,” Vanessa said after listening to Jessica, “we’d be happy to teach you to be an acrobat if you seem good at it. Why don’t you have a go on the swing now?”
Jessica reached the top of the pole, took hold of the swing, sat down and pushed off. However, she was so afraid that she was stuck.
Vanessa helped her down kindly. “I’m so sorry,” said Jessica, when she had stopped shaking.
“Now, don’t worry, you never know if you can do something until you try,” said Vanessa. “Stay with us for a while. There are plenty of things to do on the ground.”
During her stay with the circus, Jessica painted pictures of her new friends.
When it was time for the circus to leave, Jessica and Zebedee felt very sad. They watched the truck disappear.
As it was raining, Jessica decided to go into the shopping mall. They sat down on a bench, and Jessica took out her paintings to remind them of the friends they had made.
“Zebedee, how are we going to make our way in the world?” As they sat lost in thought, a crowd came around the pictures.
“I’ll have that one, dearie,” a voice said. “The one of the man with the patch. He reminds me of my brother Jake. How much?”
“Oh it isn’t for…” began Jessica, and then she noticed the crowd. Suddenly she had a wonderful idea.
“£10,” she said loudly.
“I’ll take it,” said the woman.
It seemed everyone wanted a picture. Lots of children had been to the circus and wanted a picture of their favourite act. An old lady took two portraits of Zebedee. A young man wanted the portraits of One-legged Rosie.
Soon Jessica had no pictures left, but she did have quite a lot of money.
“Look at this,” she cried. “We can make our way in the world and have adventures after all.”
56. Why did Jessica keep painting her friends she had made?
A. She wanted to make money. B. She didn’t want to forget them.
C. She kept practising her skills. D. She planned to send them as gifts.
57. Which shows the correct order of Jessica’s experiences?

d. She hoped to join the circus to be an acrobat.

A. a-e-b-c-d B. c-d-b-a-e C. a-e-c-b-d D. c-d-a-e-b
58. How may Jessica feel at the end of the story?

At noon that day, I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was the sound of my favorite violin.
“Thief!”
I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.
Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile. I asked, “Are you Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael? I’m his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. You’re really like him!”
Hearing my words, the boy was first astonished but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gone out? I think I’d better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while.”
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much?”
“Yes, but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it,” the boy replied.
“Then I give this violin to you.” The boy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back.
I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper’s photo.
A few years later, at a music competition of senior high school students in Melbourne, I was invited to judge the final. Finally, a violin player called Merritt won the first prize with his strength!
After the award, Merritt ran to me holding a violin box, excited, asked,“Mr. Brian, do you still know me? You have given me a violin which I have been treasuring until today! Today, I can give back this violin to you without regret...” It turned out that he was “Mr. Ram’s nephew Michael”!
Tears welled up in my eyes.
60. Who is the author?
A. The house owner. B. The housekeeper.
C. The boy’s uncle. D. The boy's teacher.
61. Why did the author address the boy “Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael”?
A. Because Michael is the boy’s name.
B. Because he mistook the boy for Michael.
C. Because he wanted to protect the boy’s self-respect.
D. Because he would like to make friends with the boy.
62. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. The boy became a senior high school student.
B. The writer knew the boy would win the competition.
C. The boy had taken good care of the violin for many years.
D. The writer knew the boy really like the violin very much.
63. What message does the story tell?
A. Music has strong power. B. Being kind can get rewarded.
C. Practice makes a good musician. D. Small kindness can be meaningful.

While they were travelling together, Huck found out that Jim was now owned by the Phelps, who happened to be the aunt and uncle of Tom Sawyer. He planned to save Jim disguised as Tom. It was easy for him to be Tom Sawyer because Tom was Huck’s best friend.
Huck went to see the Phelps and talked with them about the Sawyer family happily. Suddenly he heard a boat on the river. “Tom could be on the boat,” he thought, “and he’s going to walk in here and call out my name before I can stop him. I’ve got to go and meet him.”
So, he told Phelps that he would go into town to get his bags, which were at the boat station. On his halfway to town,his mouth fell open and he looked a bit white in the face.
“Aren’t you dead?” Tom said. “Everybody said that you were murdered!”
“I’m not dead yet,” Huck said, “but listen…” Huck told Tom about his adventures and Tom loved all that.
Tom thought for a bit, and then he said, “I know. You take my bags and say they’re yours. I’ll come to the house in about half an hour.”
“All right,” Huck said, “but there’s another thing. You know old Miss Watson’s slave Jim, he’s a prisoner there, and I’m going to help him escape.”
“Jim?” Tom asked. “But he’s…” Then he stopped and thought. “Right. I’ll help, too. I’ll make a good plan.” He looked very excited.
Huck went back to the house with the bags, and Tom came along half an hour later. Tom told Aunt Polly that he was Sid, Tom’s brother. Aunt Polly was very pleased to see Tom and Sid. Later Jim was held in a shed and Tom had a risky escape plan. As they carried out their plan, a group of farmers came chasing them. Tom was shot in the leg. Jim was recaptured when Tom passed out.
