We were on our way home from Houston one Saturday morning. We decided to stop at a local gas station to get coffee and something to snack on since it was a good hour and a half before we got home.
When we were done, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a man standing outside in front of the building. He was a homeless man with worn clothes and it looked like he had gone in and gotten himself some coffee or something warm to drink since it was cold this time of the year. He must have not had enough money to get something to eat.
Then a dog walked up to the front of the building. I could tell she was a “she”, because you could tell that she had baby dogs. She was terribly in need of something to eat and I felt so bad for her. I knew if she didn’t eat soon, she and her baby dogs would not make it.
I and my wife sat there and looked at her. We noticed that people walked by and didn’t even pet her, like most people do when they walk by an animal in front of a store. We still did not do anything. But the homeless man, who I thought did not buy himself anything to eat, went back into the store. And what he did brought tears to me and my wife. He had gone into the store and with what money he may have had, bought a can of dog food and fed that dog.
This story plays a great part in our lives. You see, that was Mother’s Day weekend. And a lot of people forget that some animals are parents too.
It took a homeless man, to show me what I should have done. He make me a better man that day.
小題1: The homeless man only had something to drink because _______.
A．he didn’t have enough money for foodB．he was thirsty only
C．the store only provided drinksD．he felt cold that day
小題2: Seeing what the poor man did for the dog, the author and his wife ________.
A．were puzzledB．were greatly moved
C．regretted they hadn’t done anything D．were indifferent
小題3: If the homeless man hadn’t given the dog food to eat, she and her babies would ________.
A．not surviveB．have to attack people
C．not have to dieD．lose their homes
小題4:Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?
A．A kind Homeless ManB．A Lucky Mother Dog
C．Mother Day’s WeekendD．Animals Are Parents Too

It dawned on me what he had done. Then a nearby student said that he just pulled that off his own tree. I tried to keep my   53  back.
　Later that day, I sat   54  the ornament in my hands. Was I really so important to this child that he had searched for something to give me? Now every year as I   55  pull a green Christmas ball from my ornament box, I remember the deep influence my students have on me.

Dear Editor,
I’m now busy in preparing for the Postgraduate (研究生) Entrance Exam. A few days ago, I happened to see some new guidebooks for those who want to take next year’s exam. With too many hopes and without taking it into too much consideration, I bought several that were written by some known for helping candidates (應(yīng)試者) for master’s degrees.
What made me really angry was the starting discovery that the contents of those books were almost exactly the same as some I had bought before. There were only superficial (外表的) changes in their covers, with more attractive new titles and better designs. The contents were the same.
People say that the publishing industry is in a state of chaos (混亂) these days but I used to be doubtful abut that. I was of the opinion that only people of noble character, prestige (威望), and exceptional talent would produce books for higher education. But these editors are caring little about their readers.
I hope that authors and publishing houses will be more responsible for their readers. Don’t destroy the image that you have with your readers.
小題1:The writer bought some guidebooks in order to ___________________________.
A．write an essay on guidebooksB．prepare for the entrance exam
C．give his students a lectureD．send them to his good friends
小題2:The writer was angry because _________________________________________.
A．there were a lot of printing mistakes in the books that he had bought
B．the books were so expensive that he couldn’t afford any of them
C．he found the books he had bought were thin but of poor quality
D．the books had the same contents as what he had bought before
小題3: In the writer’s opinion, publishers should be _____________________________.
A．responsibleB．kind-heartedC．hard-workingD．creative

At the end of eight grade, our class went to Washington, D.C. For a group of 14-year-olds, this was a big deal!
The first day was so tiring; we could hardly remember where we were and what we were seeing. The next morning, we were off to see monuments (紀念碑)，starting with Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson. We walked along the paths through trees. Then the Wall came into view—the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
As I moved slowly closer to the Wall, I heard a bagpipe（風(fēng)笛）in the distance, which seemed to show respect to the lives lost in the jungles of Vietnam .
We continued walking and felt surprised at the number of names carved in the black stone. I was determined to find a soldier with my last name, but my hunt was stopped when a man caught my eyes. He was kneeling(跪著) at the Wall, a single rose at his feet. His head was bowed and he was rubbing his fingers over one name. I thought how sad he was, and then moved on .
After a few minutes I found one with my last name, but my eyes returned to the kneeling man. He was still rubbing his fingers over the same name. He never knew I was watching him, lost in deep sorrow. It was time for me to leave the kneeling man and the Wall. On the way home, I couldn’t help thinking of the kneeling man and his sad face. I wasn’t sure of the effects of war before, but at that moment I realized how much that man suffered from losing his loved one. Maybe he was the only one of so many families who experienced the same .
I never knew the full effects of war until I saw that man. I only know about war from history classes. The kneeling man taught me more about war and the effects it has on people than any history book .
小題1:Which of the following makes the author feel the suffering that war brings to human beings?
A．The kneeling man.B．The sound of a bagpipe.
C．The number of names carved in the stone. D．The jungles of Vietnam.
小題2:The man continued to rub his fingers over the name probably because_____.
A．he found it covered with dustB．he missed the loved one who died in a war
C．he intended to remove it completelyD．he recalled the fierce war he fought in
小題3:What did the author learn from the trip?
A．How fierce war is in history.B．How people remember those who died in wars.
C．What bad effects war had on many families.D．What we should do to prevent war.
小題4:According to the last paragraph, the author probably thinks that _____.
A．he should have studied history hard in class
B．history books don’t tell readers the truth
C．there is more in history than books tell us
D．the kneeling man should be a history teacher
