小題1:考查名詞。Jobs工作；homes家；buses公共汽車；offices辦公室。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知人們正在上班的路上，但上班的人并不是都坐辦公室。heading towards的意思是“（向特定的方向）出發(fā)；動(dòng)身”。故選A。

Jerry was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live life.” I reflected on what Jerry said. Later, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life.
Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, he forgot the password, nervous. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments（碎片） of the bullets still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, “The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.” “Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?” I asked. Jerry continued, “The doctors and nurses were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. I knew I needed to take action.”
“What did you do?” I asked. “Well, there was a big, strong nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic (過敏的)to anything. “Yes,” I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, “Bullets!” Over their laughter, I told them. “I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.”
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
小題1:The author left Jerry’s restaurant because he___________.
A．wanted to start business on his own
B．was afraid of another robbery later
C．was not equal to the job any longer
D．didn’t get along well with others
小題2:Why was Jerry shot?

A．The doctors and nurses gave him up.
B．He decided to take action to live again.

A．no longer positive to his life after the operation
B．optimistic even when things were at their worst
C．Jerry influenced all his colleges in many ways
D．badly injured and stayed in hospital for six months

Since I was a child, I called my father my Kong, after King Kong. I believed that he was just as strong as the giant ape(猿猴). As he faced death, I did my best to help release him to the next life.
Two months after he passed away, my sister called to ask if I would like to go see Lisa Williams, a well-known witch（巫婆）. I was familiar with Lisa from her show on Lifetime, and since I was eager to get a sign from my father, I agreed to go.
I took my father’s gold watch and listened as Lisa helped audience members communicate with their loved ones. “I have a grandfather-like figure with me and he is speaking about his granddaughter Jilly,” she announced. The audience was quiet; no one raised a hand. I nudged（用肘輕推） my sister and whispered to her that this was Dad ,for my third child and my father had a deep bond(關(guān)系，紐帶) and he called her Jilly.
Although I sensed his presence, I wasn’t confident enough to raise my hand. I needed something a bit more concrete, something undoubted.
“This man is letting me know he had cancer,” she continued. I nudged my sister harder and assured her this was our father. Lisa went on to say that this person died in June (my father had died June 8th). There was swelling of the legs.
“Important information,” she called out. My heart beat fast . I jumped up when she asked, “Who is holding his watch?” I waved the watch in the air.
“He wishes you congratulations.” My fourth child was born three weeks after my father died. I was in shock and could not believe I was getting a chance to hear from him, yet I knew our bond was strong enough that he could come to the world. She banged on her chest like an ape and apologized, saying, “I don’t know why but he wants me to do this like Tarzan.” It didn’t resonate（共鳴） with me until my sister called out “King Kong!” I was convinced. No way could this woman have ever known a detail unless Dad was communicating through her.
Each bit of information she gave us was just as meaningful. She ended our session by informing us that he would send us coins. The very next day I found six coins in various places; they seemed to have come out of nowhere. Even in death he is my Kong, and he remains important in my life.
小題1:What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Information from Lisa Williams
B．Miraculous Messages from Heaven
C．Strange Things in the Party.
D．Unforgettable memories
小題2:What’s the meaning of underlined sentence?
A．I tried my best to make my father feel relieved in another world .
B．I wanted to help my father live a better life in future.
C．I tried to set my father free next time.
D．I wanted to help my father in everything.
小題3:What do we know about Lisa Williams? 
A．She may be a learned teacher.
B．She may be a woman knowing witchcraft
C．She may be is a scientist researching Lifetime.

One spring，when 1 was 1 0，during one of my father’s layoffs，I could tell my mother was unhappy．I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother’s Day gift．
One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins，which，I learned years later，was known for its high-end fashions and style．I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins，telling her I was looking for a Mother’s Day present．
“Do you think she’d like a purse ?”she asked．“I think she might．”I told her．
She took out an Italian purse made of leather．She asked me what I thought，and I told her that my mom would like it．
“How much money do you have?’’she asked．
“Twelve dollars，”I said．
“You’re in luck，”she told me．“It’s only $11．You have a dollar left over for the card．” She wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business，and I rode off home with the package under my arm．
When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning，she asked in an accusing tone，“Where did you get this?”
“I bought it at the Agins．It cost me$1 1．’’I said．
My mother was shocked into silence．
It wasn’t until many years 1ater，when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars，that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me．I always felt regretful  that I never had a chance to properly thank her．
‘‘You know，my son，what really amazes me to this day，”my mother said．‘‘Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough．But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that 9 11 never forget.”

Chuck，unlike other frogs，didn't like catching flies himself. But he did love eating them.

Some frogs thought Chuck was lazy. Some believed he must think he was too good for them. Some thought Chuck was the strangest frog ever.
That didn't matter to Chuck. Each morning，Chuck jumped over and sat under the spider's web. Then when Lady Eightlegs went off to dip (浸) her feet in the pond，Chuck ate flies from her web.
One morning while Chuck was enjoying his fly breakfast，Lady Eightlegs returned and caught him.
“You're the one who keeps eating my flies！”she cried.
Chuck jumped away and into the pond. Now there was an idea！Why not spin (結(jié)) his own web?
He collected some vines (葡萄藤) from a nearby farm. Then he began to spin his web. He worked on his web for hours，until very late at night. And then he fell asleep.
When he woke up the next morning，he found that he got caught by the vines.
“Help！”he shouted.
Lady Eightlegs looked up from the edge of the pond. She hurried up to help Chuck out of the vine web.
“No matter how hard I try，I can't spin a spider's web，”Chuck said.
“Of course not，”Lady Eightlegs said. “You're a frog. Frogs can't spin spider's webs any better than spiders can swim，I guess.”
“But I always see you in the water，”Chuck said.
“I only wade in (蹚水) up to my knees，”Lady Eightlegs sighed. “How wonderful it would be to swim in the middle of the pond and float (漂浮) peacefully under the sun.”
Chuck smiled，“I have an idea.”
From that day forward，Chuck carried Lady Eightlegs out to the middle of the pond，where they floated and played together. When they returned to land，they shared a breakfast of flies from her spider's web.
It wasn't exactly an ordinary friendship. But Chuck was not an ordinary frog.
