“If someday I am dead, please bury me in the spring," they sing. Wang's penetrating chorus,delivered with his eyes closed, has moved thousands to tears.
Wang and Liu consider the song a true portrait of lower-class groups like themselves."With no credit card, no girlfriend, or a home with hot water, but only a guitar, I am singinghappily, on streets, under bridges or in wild country, though nobody pays attention to themusic," they sing.

“You will never walk again．You will have to use a wheelchair．” I heard his   36  fall heavily on my ears, numbing my soul．If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then．
The car accident has left me unconscious．When   37  , I found both legs in casts（石膏）．While I had other serious injuries, my    38  were my first concern．Working as a special needs teacher and busy and active by nature, I couldn’t imagine being   39  in a wheelchair．
Lying in my bed, I wondered how I   40  give my ten-year-old son hope that mom would  41 ．He’d been cheerful on every visit, but I saw    42  in his eyes． He needed the ray of hope that I would not be in a wheelchair forever．
Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach him what to do when misfortune   43 ．
It didn’t take me long to become  44 with my limited movements and even with the pace the doctors were willing to go with me．I was determined to learn everything they showed me．
Every night in my private room, as soon as I knew I wouldn’t be   45 or discovered, I would move myself from the bed to the floor,  46  on to the bed rail（床欄桿） for dear life, and slowly putting my weight   47  my feet．After several weeks of such difficult   48 , my strength and confidence continued to    49  ．
It came the time to share my accomplishments with the person most    50   to me．One night, when I heard my son greet the nurses at the station, I    51  myself up．As he opened the door, I took a few small steps．   52  , he could only watch as I turned and started back to bed．All of the pain, the fear, and the struggle   53 as I heard the words I had longed to hear, “Mommy, you can walk!”
I am now able to walk alone, sometimes using a stick．I am able to take public transportation to shop and visit friends．My life has been blessed with many   54 of which I am proud．But none has ever brought me the satisfaction and joy   55  by those four little words of my son．

When a person is curious about something, it means he is interested in it and wishes to know something about it. There is   16  wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad   17  on what people are curious about.
Curiosity  18  can be foolish or wrong. Some people with nothing to do are  19  of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing. They have a strong wish to know what they are   20  home or taking outside, or why they have come home so 21 or late.

For most probably, it may lead to a small talk  24  often brings harm, loss of honor or disrespect to others, and thus  25 their feelings.
On the other hand, there is a  26 curiosity- the curiosity of wise men, who  27  at all the great things and try to find out all they  28 learn about them. Columbus could  29 have found America if he had not been 30 . James Walt would not have made the steam engine  31  his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid. All the  32  in human history have been made as a  33  of curiosity, 34  the clever curiosity is never about unimportant things which have  35  or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.

（2010?冀州二模）
“A very disruptive(擾亂型的) six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand，”said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs，”said another. Many people have heard stories like this.  But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.
Every child , regardless of the circumstances into which they are born，has the right to achieve their potential，regardless of their parents’ wealth and class.  And we recognize that, as a nation，it is a long way to achieve this goal.But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.
Far too many children are behaving badly at school，even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the lavatory properly.  
We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep，has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.         
Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources—time—so that children come to school ready and are willing to learn.
小題1:In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?
A．The school violence.
B．The pressure of students’ learning.
C．The right to achieve students potential.
D．the responsibilities of the students.
小題2:The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________.
A．dissatisfiedB．unconcernC．understandingD．tolerance
小題3: The underlined part in Para. 4 may means__________.
A．parents and children live in their separate rooms
B．parents care little about children’s life at home
C．children don’t live with their parents in the same room
D．a(chǎn)t home children live a different life from that of parents
小題4:What might be most suitable title for the passage?
A．Children’s behavior at school is worrying people
B．Parents expect schools to correct their children’s bad habits
C．There is no point in parents’ teaching children at home
D．Don’t blame teachers when it’s parents who are failing

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”
“No, sir,” the men answered.
The director was angry. “Why not?”  he asked.
“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”
“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”
But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”
“That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”
The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”

John and Bobby joined a wholesale company together just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss promoted Bobby to the position of manager but John remained an ordinary employee. John could not take it any more, tendered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not know how to delegate and did not value hard-working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.
The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought a moment and said, “Thank you for your criticism, but I have a request. I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your decision and take back your resignation.”
John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found out a man selling watermelon. The boss asked how much per kg. John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to inform the boss $1.2 per kg.
Boss told John to wait a second, and he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to go and find anyone selling watermelon in the market. Bobby went, returned and said, “Boss, only one person selling watermelon. $1.2 per kg, $10 for 10kg, he has inventory (清單) of 340 melons. On the table 58 melons, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red, good quality.”
John was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided not to resign but to learn from Bobby.
Chances exist in the daily details. For the same matter, a more successful person sees more and farther so that he can find out an opportunity and catch it to realize his aim. If a person sees one year ahead, while another sees only tomorrow. Then the difference between a year and a day is 365 times!
小題1:Why did John decide to hand in his resignation to the boss?
A．Because he couldn’t stand being an ordinary employee.
B．Because Bobby would take John’s former position.
