It was my first year teaching in a special needs class, and I wasn’t sure what to expect at our yearly Special Olympics sports meeting. My   36  had some challenges, from learning disabilities to cerebral palsy（大腦性麻痹）.
Mark was one with the latter. Restricted to a   37 , he had to fight his spasms （抽筋） just to control his movements.   38 , he always had a positive attitude and greeted everyone with a huge smile.
His classmates   39  him and always took the time to make sure he was included in group activities, especially Mike, Andy and Lucas, three boys who were good at   40 . Obviously, Mark wanted to be like them, unrestricted by the limitation of his   41  and watching them moving on the playing field seemed to fill him with   42 .
When the day came, Mike, Andy and Lucas   43  well in their sports events, and gave the normally calm audience something to cheer about. Mark sat in his wheelchair on the sidelines,    44  them on.
The final event of the day was the 400 meter race.   45  was invited to either walk or run, according to their ability, around the   46  length of the track.
When Mike, Andy and Lucas reached the finish line, they   47  and turned to look behind them. At the   48  of the crowd, determined not to be left behind, was Mark. All his classmates had   49  him. He was alone on the track with over half the distance left to   50 .
Mike, Andy and Lucas looked at each other, and a silent   51  passed between them. Slowly, they jogged   52  towards their friend, cheering him on   53  he had done for them moments before.
The progress was   54 , but in the end the three star runners and Mark crossed the finish line together to the enthusiastic cries of their teachers and classmates. Seeing the look on Mark’s face as he crossed the finish line, hands upraised and laughing, I came to understand what   55  the Special Olympics, and the determined athletes who compete, so extraordinary.
Years later, I’m still cheering them on.

It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas; and as the newest doctor in our office, I had to work. The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating — a dozen long-stemmed red roses.
As I was cleaning my office,  I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me. As I stepped out, I noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. Nervously, she explained that her husband — a prisoner in a nearby prison — was my next patient. She told me she wasn’t allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. Her request was for me to let the boy’s father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment. Since my schedule wasn’t full, I agreed. After all, it was Christmas Eve.
A short time later, her husband arrived — with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards. The woman’s tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. I kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. After almost an hour, I called the prisoner back to my office. The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. I tried to make him as comfortable as possible.
At the end of the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison. He smiled and thanked me. He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn’t been able to get his wife anything for Christmas. On hearing this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea.
I’ll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses. I’m not sure who experienced the most joy — the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment.
小題1:What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A．The writer was a newcomer to her office.
B．A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present.
C．She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas.
D．She was at work with a light heart.
小題2:The young woman came to the writer’s office for the purpose of         .
A．having her baby examined
B．giving her husband a chance to make his escape
C．having her husband examined
D．getting a chance for her family to get together
小題3:The underlined part in paragraph 3 most probably means “        ”
A．to be sent to hospitalB．to be separated from his family
C．to be comfortableD．to become a prisoner
小題4:What does the writer learn from the story?
A．The wife experienced the most joy in receiving
B．An act of kindness can mean a lot
C．The prisoner was treated with mercy
D．Whoever breaks the law should be punished

Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you're a thin 14-year-old.That was me in 1940-the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City's Pennsyl-vania Railway Station.
After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I'd like to join them, thinking, "Everyone else is doing it."
When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do." You give an honest day's work," he said, looking at me straight in the eye."  They're paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that."
I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.
Of all the jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone.
Whether you're on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can't trust one another, there's going to be trouble. 
小題1:What can be inferred about the baggage boys? 
A．They could earn much, but they had to work hard.
B．Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.
C．They were all from poor families.
D．They were all thin, young boys.
小題2:What does the father's advice imply?
A．It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers.
B．Don't believe them if they are paying you more.
C．Don't follow others to overcharge the passengers.
D．It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.
小題3:The writer can't put up with stealing because he thinks that ______. 
A．it is a totally shared experience
B．it is considered as the most dangerous
C．it does great harm to human relationship
D．it may lead to the loss of his sports team
小題4:It can be concluded from the text that ______. 
A．his father's advice helped him to decide which job to take up
B．working in the sports team was his most important experience
C．he learnt much from his shared experience with his team members
D．his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his later life

I remember one Thanksgiving when our family had no money and no food, and someone came knocking on our door. A man was ___36____ there with a huge box of food, a giant turkey and even some ___37____ to cook it in. I couldn’t ___38___ it. My dad demanded, “Who are you? Where are you from?”

Embroidering(刺繡)
When I was a little boy living in New York, my mother used to embroider a great deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the    36    and ask what she was doing. She   37  me that she was embroidering. I told her that it looked like a mess from where I was. As from the underside I watched her work within the    38  of the little round hoop（鐵環(huán)）that she held in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked   39   from where I sat.
She would smile at me, look down and  40   say, "My son, you go about your    41   for a while, and when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on my    42   and let you see it from my side."
I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the    43   ones and why they seemed so jumbled（混亂的）from my   44  . A few minutes would pass and then I would hear Mother's voice say, " Son, come and sit on my knee." This I did only to be  surprised and    45  to see a beautiful flower or a sunset. I could not    46  it, because from underneath it looked so messy.
Then mother would    47   to me, "My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you did not realize that there was a   48  plan on the top. It was a    49   . I was only following it. Now look at it from my side    50   you will see what I was doing."
Many    51    through the years, I have    52   up to my Heavenly Father and said, “ Father, what are You doing? ” He    53   , “ I am embroidering your    54  . ”I say, " But it looks like a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can't they all be bright ? " The Father seems to tell me, " My child, you go about your business of doing My business, and one day I will bring you to    55   and put you on my knee and you will see the plan from My side. "

A man claiming to be a pastor(牧師) apparently tried to stiff a waiter on a tip, explaining that his work for God allowed him not to leave one.
A photo of the receipt, posted to Reddit.com, shows a bill for $34.93 with an automatic 18 percent gratuity(小費) (or $6.29) added above a blank space for an additional tip.
“I give God 10%,” the diner wrote on the receipt, scratching out the automatic tip. “Why do you get 18?” He then wrote “Pastor” above his signature, and an emphatic “0” where the additional tip would be. (The automatic gratuity, however, had already been added to the total.)
The Reddit user who submitted the image explained in the comments section that the receipt was part of a total bill for a party of 20, which is why the gratuity was automatically added.
“Parties up to eight ... may tip whatever they’d like, but larger parties receive an automatic gratuity," the server wrote. "It’s in the computer; it’s not something I do.”
The server added: “They had no problem with my service, and told me I was great. They just didn’t want to pay when the time came.”
Scribbling(亂涂) notes on receipts has become something of a trend. Earlier this month, the manager of a North Carolina Red Robin surprised an overdue pregnant woman by comping her meal.
“Once seated, a manager came up to us and started talking,” the woman's husband told Consumerist. “He was extremely friendly and jokingly asked my wife if this was her last meal before heading to the hospital.”
When the check came, a note from the manager next to her portion of the bill read: “MOM 2 BEE GOOD LUC.”
“It was a pleasant surprise and made my tired-of-being-pregnant wife a little more cheery,” the man said.
小題1:What did the pastor mean by saying, “I give God 10%. Why do you get 18?”
A．He was bargaining with the waiter.
B．He didn’t mean to pay the gratuity at all.
C．God gave him the privilege not to pay a gratuity.
D．The gratuity had already been paid by his friends.
小題2:What do you learn from the article?
A．The pastor paid ten percent gratuity of the meal to God.
B．A party of six diners can choose whatever gratuity they want to pay.
C．According to the husband, the wife enjoyed the process of being pregnant.
D．The pastor paid $34.93 in total for the meal.
小題3:What does the underlined word “stiff” mean?
A．a(chǎn)museB．a(chǎn)buseC．persuadeD．fail to pay
