Until I took Dr. Offutt’s class in DeMatha High school, I was an underachieving student, but I left that class determined never to underachieve again. He not only taught me to think, he convinced me, as much by example as words that it was my duty to achieve and to serve others.
Neither of us could know how our relationship would develop over the years. When I came back to DeMatha to teach English, I worked for Dr. Offutt, the department chair. My discussions with him were like graduate seminars(研究生討論課) in adolescent development, classroom management and school leadership.
After several years, I was named department chair, and our relationship shifted(變化) again. I thought that it might be terrible chairing the department, since all of my former English teachers were still there, but Dr. Offutt supported me through. He knew when to give me advice about curriculum(課程), texts and personnel(人事), and when to let me plan my own course.
In 1997, I needed his opinion about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school. If he had asked me to stay at DeMatha, I might have. Instead, he encouraged me to catch the chance.
Five years ago, I became the principal(校長) of DeMatha. Once again, Dr Offutt was there for me, letting me know that I could depend on him. I have learned from him that great teachers have an inexhaustible wealth of lessons to teach.

Three high students become heroes after their act of saving a baby’s life.
Andrew Willis, 15, his brother Chris, 13, and friend Reece Galea, 14, were walking along Swallow Drive on their way to school on May 23, when Nicholle Price ran out of her house, shouting for help. Her six-month-old son Corey had swallowed (吞下) an earring （耳環(huán)） and the young mother couldn’t ring for help because something was wrong with her phone. The three teenagers rushed to the aid of Ms Price, called an ambulance (救護車), calmed her down and waited with her until the ambulance arrived before heading to school.
Ms Price, Corey and his grandmother Joyce Finnie visited the school last Thursday to thank the boys for their kind action. “It’s good to know that there are still some good people who will stop and help,” Ms Price said. “While I was shouting for help, a woman walking her dog went straight past, without stopping. I don’t know what would have happened if these boys had not stopped.”
The teenagers were shocked at the attention they received at school for their heroic act but admitted that the incident was nerve-racking(刺激神經(jīng)的). “We heard her shouting so we knew something wasn’t right,” Andrew said. “We thought someone had died. It was scary （驚慌的） but we just did what we had to do.”
Just as proud as the boys’ parents is their principal, Tim McCallum.
After two days in hospital, Corey has now fully recovered. “He’s got two new teeth to show,” Ms Price said. “I have to keep a closer eye on him. He’s into everything now and grabs whatever he finds to put it straight into his mouth.”
小題1:The three high students were _____ when a woman ran out of her house shouting for help.
A．playing near the house
B．on their way to school

D．on their way back from school
小題2:Ms Price spoke of a woman walking her dog without stopping to show _____.
A．how dangerous the case was
B．how brave the three boys were
C．why the three teenagers’ action was heroic
D．how clever the three boys were
小題3:The underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph probably means “_____”.
A．they didn’t expect they would be given so much praise
B．they felt excited to have become so famous after the incident
C．they were supposed to receive so many prizes for their good deed
D．they were proud of the attention they received at school for their heroic deed
小題4: Which would be the best title for this passage?

Christmas Eve was tomorrow. I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree. It was the only thing I wanted. I had been dropping hints to my parents. I love taking photos. My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom’s old camera. I’m always trying to capture (捕捉) those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene, but my camera has always seemed to fall short.
I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning, so I went on a hunt in my mom’s room. I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor — a big pink cat. I felt so disappointed.
Mom seemed to notice that, and she tried to cheer me up. “Stacy, I got your present today. I am so excited to surprise you!” “I can’t wait,” I said.
The next day I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to tell her.
“Mom, may I talk to you for a second?”
“Sure, dear. What do you need to talk about?” she asked.
And so it came — how upset I was that I was getting a cat.
“Stacy, that cat is for your sister Julia!” she said with a smile.
“Then what am I getting?” I asked.
She just smiled. “You’ll have to wait and see.”
Next morning, I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree. I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find ...
My camera! “Thank you!” I said to both Dad and Mom.
Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. Just on that Christmas morning, I took lots of photos with my camera — my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile — and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: love.
小題1:The underlined phrase “dropping hints” in Para-graph 1 means _____.
A．talking oftenB．suggesting indirectly
C．sending presents D．taking pictures
小題2:Why did Stacy feel disappointed at first?
A．Her mother couldn’t understand her at all.
B．Her mother didn’t buy her any Christmas gift.
C．She mistook her sister’s Christmas gift for hers.
D．She didn’t find her present in her mom’s room.
小題3:We can learn from the passage that _____.
A．her mother bought Stacy a camera after discovering her disappointment
B．her mother knew what gift Stacy wanted for Christmas
C．Stacy thought it’s OK to have an old camera
D．Stacy finally got her gift on Christmas Eve
小題4:What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The family happiness captured by the camera.
B．The nice Christmas that Stacy spent.
C．The beautiful pictures that Stacy took.
D．The true love that Stacy got from her parents.
小題5:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．A Christmas gift as wished
B．Love is more important than gifts
C．A wonderful Christmas
D．Love can not be bought

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic    36 ; in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe(假裝) little friend and I’ll never forget the words she said, even though it was imagined.
She said, “Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very   37 . She didn’t listen to a   38  I said or do the things she should.” In the   39  I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was   40  she’d been put to sit alone and   41 .

All police officers should be made to take a fitness test every year，with a pay cut for those who repeatedly fail，a review said.
In the Metropolitan Police，more than half（52 percent）of its men officers are over- weight, a fifth (22 percent) are obese, and one in 100 are“morbidly（病態(tài)地）obese"．For women officers in the Met，a third（32 percent) are overweight，16 percent are obese and 2 per-cent are morbidly obese.
Tom Winsor，who has carried out the widest-ranging research of police pay and conditions in more than 30 years，said those who fail the test three times should face a pay cut. Chief constables(郡警察局局長）should be able to fire any officer as part of budget cuts， ending a job for life. It also recommended that applicants should be able to enter the police service directly at inspector rank，and，"after strict testing"，at superintendent(主管）rank.
Mr Winsor said：“I think the public will be surprised that after passing a fitness test when they join the police，physical fitness is not tested again in a 30，35-year career.＂
An initial(最初的）yearly test requiring officers to reach level 5’4 on the bleep test should be brought in by September next year. This is equal to an average speed of 8. 8kph（5．5mph) for three minutes 35 seconds，he said. But this should get tougher by September 2018，along similar lines to the test currently used in Northern Ireland. This includes climbing over walls and pulling bodies and was designed to reflect situations which“police officers do and can become involved in"．
Mr Winsor expected that many officers would welcome the proposals，saying they would see it“as a necessary protection for themselves and the public"．
小題1:According to the passage，most of the police officers      ．
A．do their work wellB．a(chǎn)re out of shape
C．a(chǎn)re relatively healthyD．take regular exercise
小題2:It is suggested that if they fail the fitness test three times．they should      
A．have their pay reducedB．have to be fired
C．have to do other jobsD．pay money as a guarantee
小題3:In order to cut the budget，Chief constables      ．
A．try their best to make policeman a life-long career
B．must hire policemen after strict testing
C．have the right to fire those who are unfit for the job
D．recommend applicants become police directly at inspector rank
小題4:It is predicted that many officers would like the yearly test because      ·
A．they would get healthier after the test
B．they could protect themselves and others
C．they would be able to get higher pay
D．they could practise rock climbing
