In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.1. The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because

试题分析：作者在本文中叙述了Gordon帮助我搭便车，多年以后我也想用同样的方法帮助别人，结果发现自己帮助的人正是Gordon。作者想把这个世界上的美好传递下去。告诉我们有时候奉献爱心会产生很好的结果。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多途选项。Three Critical Truths We Forget All Too SoonSo much happens in our lives every day that we often forget what we have learned. In effect, the only thing faster than the speed of our thoughts is the speed of our forgetfulness. 1.●Small steps get you to big places.The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing simply because you can only do a little. In fact, it is far more productive to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a giant leap.
2.Figure out where you want to go, take a step, and keep on stepping. Diligence and persistence will get you there.●
3.Two people can be affected by the same circumstance but respond in completely different ways. The reason is that it just depends on their attitudes. When you expect life to be unkind, it will always live up to your expectations. On the other hand, when you consider yourself to be in a fortunate situation, you will find yourself in many more. 4.●You can only change yourself.Don't wait for someone who hurt you to make it up to
this kind of thinking only keeps your old wounds from healing.
5. You have no control over them, and they may never change. Inner peace is found by changing your thinking, not the people who hurt you. So forgive those who have hurt you in the past, and even more importantly, forgive yourself for allowing them to hurt you. Then smile like you've never cried re-open your heart and mind like you've never been hurt, and live the rest of your life like you're running out of time.A. Fear always exists.B. Attitude makes all the difference.C. The path to every goal requires a hundred small steps--one after the other.D. Here are some important reminders to jog your memory.(唤起记忆)E. Waiting for them to change is not the answer.F. In the end, we learn even more from our failures than we do from our successes.G. It’s important to remember that there is value in every situation and circumstance. 
Peter, a high school student, was pretty busy with school, and he was on the soccer team. High school was hard, because everyone wanted to have nice clothes, hang out, drive cars, and all these cost money. Peter’s father was the sort of guy that believed you had to earn whatever you got, so he wasn’t just about to hand over lots of money for Peter to use to have fun. So, he had to get a job.During his freshman year summer vacation, his classmate got him a job working on a hay (干草) farm. He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields, and then they stacked (剁起) it in the hot barn.（干草棚） It was a hot, low paying job.He once worked a few nights a week at a grocery store. He put things on the shelf. It was a lot of lifting and carrying, and his arms were strong from this and the previous job. It was dull and didn’t pay much.He took some time off when soccer got serious, but the following summer he tried working at a lumber（废旧家具）yard. It was hot outside, but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and drywall. He also learned a lot about building supplies. It still didn’t pay well.From there, he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family, but that was piecemeal. His first real job came the last year at school, when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store. It was his favorite job yet, but it still didn’t pay well.What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job! The only way to get that was to get trained or educated. He could go to school and get a 2-year degree in an office or technical position. His other choices were going to a 4-year college or joining the army. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet, but he knew he had to do something. Jobs were a lot of work, money was hard to earn, but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things. Peter wanted the most out of life, and that meant education.1.How many jobs had Peter taken?A. Three
D. Six2.All the jobs Peter had taken had one thing in common:________.A. They were done during his vacation B. They were dull and tiresomeC. They needed hard labourD. They didn’t pay well3.________was the most important for Peter if he wanted a good job.A. Confidence
B. Education
C. Opportunity
D. Wisdom4.We can learn from the text that________.A. Peter knew what to do for his futureB. Peter’s father didn’t care about himC. it was very hard for Peter to make his choicesD. Peter was determined to do whatever he liked 
More than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed across the globe each day, and it’s likely that many taste bitter.Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink taste sweeter by simply changing the colour of their cups.Scientists claim that blue and glass mugs, which are popular in some coffee shops, can reduce coffee’s bitterness, without any need for sugar, and that coffee drunk from white cups tastes the bitterest.To prove their claims, the researchers invited 36 volunteers and used three different colored cups -- blue, white and transparent glass -- to do an experiment.In the experiment, coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other two colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.The scientists believe that the colour brown may be associated with coffee’s bitterness because coffee in a white cup appears the brownest and tastes the bitterest.“Our study clearly shows that the colour of a coffee cup does influence the perceived (感受到的) taste and flavor of coffee,” said Dr George Doorn of Federation University Australia, “but the potential effects may be different between a one-time purchase and a return customer.”“Anyhow, the effect of the colour of the cup on the flavor of the coffee suggests that café owners, baristas (服务员), as well as coffee cup manufacturers should carefully consider the colour of their cups, ” he added.However, the idea that colour can alter the taste of food and drink is not new.A study published last year revealed that red, strawberry-flavored mousse (慕斯蛋糕) served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter and 15 percent more flavorous than the same food presented on a black plate.1.What color of the cup can best reduce coffee’s bitterness without adding sugar?A. Blue.
D. Transparent.2.The scientists used ________ to do the experiment to prove their claims.① different brands of coffee② different colored coffee cups③ several volunteers④ several manufacturesA. ① ②
D. ③ ④3.Why does coffee in white cups taste the least sweet?A. Because white cups are not as beautiful as other cups.B. Because white cups make coffee appear the brownest.C. Because white cups reduce the sugar in them.D. Because white cups are better used to serve cakes.4.According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Black plates increase the sweetness of food and drink.B. Strawberry-flavored mousse is 10 percent sweeter than coffee.C. People consume more than 2.5 billion cups of coffee across the globe every year.D. People can make coffee taste sweeter by changing the color of their coffee cups. 
An African proverb says that a single hand cannot tie a bundle. Everyone needs companions to help them sail through the rough seas of life. Even the strongest and richest person still needs friends. Our money and strength would have no value if we had no friends to share with us. The best friendship is a give-and-take relationship. We need the support of our family, friends and the community. In turn we also give support to the society, our friends and our family.The word “friend” has many meanings. It could be the bus driver who takes you to and from work every day. It could be a parent, a colleague, a wife or husband, a brother or sister, or even the unknown person who helped you just once when you could not find your way. Real friends share not only our happiness but our sorrows as well. This may explain why we have the expression “a friend in need is a friend indeed”.Friendship is like the sunshine that keeps us warm. It is like the refreshing raindrops on the fields that give the farmers hope of a good planting season. Without friends our life would be like a desert where our only friend would be loneliness and sadness. The most fortunate person is the one who has friends from all levels in the society. A driver might find friends not only among his colleagues but among farmers, bankers, traders, students, politicians or teachers. We should never forget our old friends when we make new ones. We should treasure each of our friends whether poor or rich, beautiful or not. Each friend is unique in his or her own way. And all together, they enrich life and make it very colourful.1.What is the main topic of the passage?A. How to sail through the sea of life.B. Friends and friendship.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. Never forget old friends when making new ones.2.What is the correct understanding of friends according to the writer?A. Friends who share our happiness are not real friends.B. Friends will take us through rough seas.C. Friends never expect anything from others.D. Friends can be different people around us.3.An unknown person can be a friend as well when
.A. he helps you with what you needB. he is told how to find his wayC. he becomes one of your familyD. he is a driver taking you from and to work4.The underlined word “unique” in the last paragraph most probably means “
”.A. special
D. valuable
