I can remember the day my father came home from the war. As he walked up the front path of our home, he saw Mum and me and he dropped the suitcase.I was only five years old so Dad made a fuss of me, then began making an even bigger fuss of my mother. This left me free to examine all the stuff lying around the broken suitcase, and I was quick to notice a newspaper advertisement displaying a new piano. When Dad saw me holding up the newspaper cutting, he smiled.“Yes, that’s right,” he said. “I bought your mum a piano for ten pounds down and two pounds a week.”A few moments later, a horse pulled a cart with a piano on top. Soon we all stared at it in our small lounger room. Mum had never been close to a piano before, except at the kindergarten I attended, and she used to say how wonderful it would be if the teachers could teach her to play.After tea that night, Mum began to teach herself to play. She plinked the keys for about two hours and drove everybody in the street mad, until Dad gently said, “Enough is enough.” From that day on, she would plink between doing the cooking and housework. Three months went by and Mum was now a skilled pianist, holding parties with all the neighbors gathering around to sing.Although we were poor, Mum felt like a princess and was delighted at all the attention she was receiving.At the height of Mum’s happiness, I began to notice that Dad was looking increasingly worried. It turned out that since returning from the war, he’d been unable to find a job. Then, a few weeks later, I observed two men taking Mum’s piano away. Mum sobbed in the kitchen. Suddenly, it all became clear to me: no job, no money, no piano.Dad finally got a job. Mum was happy again as if he’d just win the lottery(彩票). Dad had to study to qualify as an account. Every night after dinner he’d place a stack of books on the kitchen table and study late into the night. Mum didn’t say much but I could tell she was proud of Dad. Two years later, Dad bought Mum another piano. This time he paid cash for it.小题1:How did the author’s Dad buy the piano for his mum?A．He paid part of the bill regularly.B．He earned it by winning a bet.C．He paid cash for it.D．He bought it as a big bargain.小题2:By saying “Enough is enough”, the author’s dad meant_______.A．practice makes perfectB．it was time to stop practicingC．he couldn’t bear being troubledD．his wife played the piano well enough小题3:What happened to the author’s mum’s first piano?A．It was lost.B．It was broken by one neighbor.C．It was sold by his dad.D．It was taken away.小题4:What made the author’s mum proud of his dad?A．His dad’s willingness to help cook.B．His dad’s winning the lottery luckily.C．His dad’s loyalty to his motherland.D．His dad’s determination to rebuild his life.
小题1:A小题2:B小题3:D小题4:D试题分析：本文是篇记叙文，作者的父亲从战场上回来，为母亲按揭买了一架钢琴，后来却因为没有工作，无法继续支付钢琴的费用，导致钢琴被搬走，但父亲没有失去生活的信心，通过孜孜不倦的学习，重新获得工作，并用现金为母亲买了一架钢琴。小题1:根据I bought your mum a piano for ten pounds down and two pounds a week.可知爸爸给妈妈买这架钢琴是按揭买的，故选A。小题2:She plinked the keys for about two hours and drove everybody in the street mad, until Dad gently said, “Enough is enough.” ，故选B。小题3:根据Then, a few weeks later, I observed two men taking Mum’s piano away，可知父亲从战场上回来，由于没有工作没有钱继续为钢琴按揭，所以钢琴被人搬走了，故选D。小题4:从倒数第二自然段，可以看出父亲很有决心来改变生活，他很珍惜来之不易的工作，每天学习到很晚，故选D。点评：这篇文章非常简单，先看问题，再带着问题读短文，理解了全文内容，很容易选出正确答案。在阅读时，注意体会文章中父亲的对家庭的细腻的情感。

It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake.

It’s not uncommon in America for a person to belong to some kind of volunteer group. Donating one’s time and services is very much a part of the American way of life. Most charitable activities are organized by churches and groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government. The helping hand is extended to the poor， the homeless and the disabled. Some people work to teach youngsters how to read. Others open up soup kitchens to feed the homeless. Volunteers also take care of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages（孤儿院）to help children without parents. High school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities center around volunteer services. Students may work with disabled children during a summer program， or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meal to senior citizens who are shut-ins. With their sense of idealism（理想主义）students are often eager to donate their spare time. They see such activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adult-world. Social action for them becomes as &&important as their academic studies. In a like manner， throughout the year，fund raising drives are also conducted by schools and community groups to raise money for a worthy cause. They may respond to a recent earthquake in a foreign country， a flood somewhere within their own， or another natural disaster which has left people destitute and homeless. They may organize drives to collect food， clothing and medicines to serve an immediate need. Today even the Halloween custom of ‘trick or treat’has become an occasion to collect money for a charitable cause. The motive to help those less fortunate comes from the poor origins of the American nation. Those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden（受压迫的）became dependent on the kindness of their neighbors to make a new life for themselves.American volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries. They volunteer by serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad， which no doubt enriches both his life and those whom he serves.小题1: Which of the following charitable activities is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Some people open up soup kitchens to feed homeless people.B．Some students bring meals to old people who can’t go out easily.C．Some people collect money to help a foreign country with a recent earthquake.D．Some students donate books to children in mountainous areas.小题2: Why are American high school students eager to do voluntary work?A．Because they want to participate in some social activities.B．Because they want to go to better universities.C．Because they can get higher scores at school.D．Because they can realize their dream sooner.小题3:The underlined word “destitute” in Paragraph 4 probably means&&&&&&&&&& .A．lifelessB． pennilessC．uselessD．valueless小题4: American charitable activities started because ___________.A．Americans are always ready to share with othersB．Americans are mostly kindC．poor immigrants needed help badlyD．poor Americans couldn’t live on without help小题5: What’s the best title of the passage?A．The Call from the PoorB．Voluntary Work in the USC．Ways to help the PoorD．American Volunteers Around the World

Three boys and three girls were going to Fort Lauderdale and when they boarded the bus，they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags，dreaming of golden beaches as the gray cold of New York vanished behind them. As the bus passed through New Jersey，they began to notice Vingo, He sat in front of them，dressed in a plain，ill-fitting suit，never moving，his dusty face masking his age. He kept chewing the inside of his lip a lot，frozen into some personal cocoon of silence.Deep into the night，outside Washington，the bus pulled into Howard Johnson's，and everybody got off except Vingo. He sat rooted in his seat，and the young people began to wonder about him，trying to imagine his life：perhaps he was a sea captain，a runaway from his wife，an old soldier going home. When they went back to the bus，one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself."We're going to Florida,” she said brightly, “I hear it's really beautiful.”“It is，”he said quietly，as if remembering something he had tried to forget. "Want some wine?" she said. He smiled and took a swig.& He thanked her and once again returned to his silence. After a while，she went back to the others，and Vingo nodded in his sleep. In the morning，they awoke outside another Howard Johnson's．And this time Vingo went in.& The girl insisted that he join them.& He seemed very shy, and ordered black coffee and smoked nervously as the young people chattered about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus，the girl sat with Vingo again，and after a while, slowly and painfully，he told his story. He had been in jail in New York for the past four years，and now he was going home.“Are you married?”“I don't know.“You don’t know?” she said.“Well，when I was in jail I wrote to my wife，”he said. “I told her that I was going to be away a long time，and that if she couldn't stand it．if the kids kept asking questions，if it hurt too much，well she could just forget me, I'd understand. Get a new guy，I said she's a wonderful woman，really something and forget about me. I told her she didn't have to write me for nothing.& And she didn't.& Not for three and a half years.”"And you’re going home now，not knowing?”“Yeah，”he said shyly. “Well，last week，when I was sure the parole (假释) was coming through, I wrote her again.& We used to live in Brunswick，just before Jacksonville，and there’s a big oak (橡树) tree just as you came into town. I told her that if she'd take me back，she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree，and I'd get off and come home,& If she didn't want me, forget it, no handkerchief，and I'd go on through.” "Vow,” the girl exclaimed. "Wow.”She told the others，and noon all of them were in it, caught up in the approach of Brunswick，looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children. The woman was handsome in a plain way，the children still unformed in the much-handled snapshots. Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seat on the right side，waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. The bus acquired a dark，hushed mood，full of the silence of absence and lost years. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-con's mask, as if fortifying himself against still another disappointment.Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then，suddenly，all of the young people were up out of their seats，screaming and shouting and crying，doing small dances of joy. All except Vingo. Vingo sat there stunned，looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs，20 of them，30 of them，maybe hundreds，a tree that stood like a banner of welcome billowing in the wind. As the young people shouted，the old rose and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.小题1:Which is right about Vingo?A．He was a sea captain. B．He was a runaway from his wife,C．He was an old soldier going home. D．He was a prisoner.小题2: The underlined word "`exclaimed" probably indicates that the girl was“______”A. surprised&&&&&&& B:& angry&&&&&&&& C:& embarrassed&&&& D.& puzzled小题3: From the story，we know that A．the young people and Vingo loved New YorkB．Vingo dressed himself decentlyC．Vingo's Wife didn't write to him because she didn't miss himD．the young people were happy for Vingo because he could went home小题4:What is the best title for the story?A．An Unexpected ReturnB．Forgiving My Absence C．Going HomeD．The Old Oak Tree

Are you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that generally things turn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? If you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. You may well be successful atwork and in love.But you may be misguided because things don’t turn out for the best. You may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example，you may fail to obtain a new job，another chance will come around soon), Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams in your face. That's bitter reality.Now a book has been published which confirms what we pessimists(悲观者）have suspected all along. It's called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology professor, says, “What’s interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation’s outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better. ”So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on a date or even in a sports game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in English urging caution. For example, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” and “ Don’t count your chickens until they hatch. “ To have a confident and optimistic approach to life’s problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien，the American comedian says, ”Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”There are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don’t feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.小题1:What is the passage mainly about?A．A book that has recently been published.B．The dangers of being too optimistic.C．How to become successful in life.D．The benefits of defensive pessimism.小题2:The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science” in paragraph 4 means&&&&&.A．it is quite simple to understandB．there is no real proofC．it’s not a dangerous thing to doD．the cost is not so high小题3:The writer would probably describe himself as&&&&&&&&&&.A．an optimistB．a defeatistC．a realistD．a scientist小题4:Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe? A．“Every cloud has a silver lining.”B．“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” C．“Whatever will be, will be.”D．“The glass is half full not half empty.”
