Whenever we do something wrong, Jesus Christ sees it. He loves us and doesn’t say it. Perhaps he’s wondering how long we’ll keep our mind suffering. A little boy named Johnny was visiting his grandparents on their farm and he was given a slingshot(彈弓) to play with out in the woods. He  36  for some time but he could never hit the target he had set for himself. Getting a little  37 , he walked back to the farmhouse for dinner. As he was _   38 back, he saw Grandpa’s pet duck. Just out of   39 , he let the slingshot fly , hitting it in the head ,and killed it. In a panic, he    40 the dead duck in the woodpile, only to see his sister Sally   41  be watching him. Sally had seen all this, but she said _42 . After lunch that day Grandma said, “Sally, it’s your turn to wash the dishes.” But Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.” And then she spoke _43 to him, “Remember the duck?” So Johnny did the dishes. Later that day, Grandpa asked if  44  wanted to go fishing, but Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Sally to help me make supper.” But Sally just smiled and said, “Well, that’s all right because Johnny told me he was too   45 to help you. And she whispered again, “Remember the duck?” So Sally went fishing and Johnny  46 to help make supper. After several days of doing both his 47 and Sally’s, Johnny finally couldn’t 48 it any longer. He came to his Grandma and told her that he had killed the duck .Grandma smiled and gave him a big 49 . “Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was watering the flowers at the window   50  I saw you shoot my duck with the slingshot, and I saw the whole thing. But because I love you, I  51 you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally  52_ of you.”
In reality, no matter how  53__or how uncomfortable it is to admit our wrongdoing, we should always choose to  54 it and work it through instead of running away from it. Hard as it is, it  55  us and makes us who we are.

Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲豹)saw Jeb and his son, Tom, before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.
Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.
“Tom, no!” shouted his father.
But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.
Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws(爪子)got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled(吼叫)and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
“Knife, Tom” shouted Jeb.
The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb stated shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.
The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.
小題1:Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?
A.To get ready to fightB.To frighten it away
C.To protect the boyD.To cool down
小題2:What do we know about cougars?
A.They are afraid of noises
B.They hesitate before they hit
C.They are bigger than we think
D.They like to attack running people
小題3:How did Jeb try to hold the cougar’s attention?
A.By keeping shouting and hitting
B.By making a wall out of his arms
C.By throwing himself on the cougar
D.By swinging his fists at the cougar’s eyes
小題4:Which of the following happened first?
A.The cougar jumped from the rock
B.Tom struggled free of his father

When I was seven years old my mom was diagnosed(診斷) with cancer. For this type of cancer the survival rate was low. My family was extremely upset and shocked. I was too young to understand. I had no idea that everyday with my mom had to be the absolute best because we didn’t know if it would be our last. I didn’t understand why everyone was suddenly taking time out of their busy lives to come over and sit on our couch.
The doctors told us my mom might survive with surgery(外科手術(shù)). But it could also kill her. She agreed to have it. The surgery was scheduled for the day after the Columbus Day. The day before the surgery I had off from school, and my mom planned the best day of my life. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was happy. Really happy.
The day passed and the next day, it was time for the surgery. There were no tears; I think I understood that I could lose my mom, because they did tell me she could die. We waited all day for news from the doctor. Everyone jumped when a door opened or anyone walked into the waiting room. Finally the doctor came in, and the news was what we had prayed (祈禱) for.
The experience that my family went through was truly a roller coaster. I will never forget that day together, and how her illness pulled our family closer. I understand now how lucky we were. I truly appreciate life and honor my mom for being so strong.

Connie Lau hates smoking. “It smells awful, and it’s so bad for you. It breaks my heart to see my friends smoking. I try to get them to give up smoking.” She says.
So why does Connie walk into convenience stores and try to buy cigarettes? She is testing to see if stores will sell cigarettes to a kid who is younger than 18. “You have to be 18 to purchase cigarettes, and I’m 16, so if they sell to me, they’re breaking the law,” Connie says.
Connie isn’t a vigilante (治安隊(duì)員); She works with local police in her town of Castro Valley, California. Officers drive her to stores, and she goes in alone to try to buy cigarettes. If the person behind the counter sells her a pack, an officer comes in and writes the business a ticket for breaking the law.
Most stores obey the law and don’t sell her cigarettes. The law requires that customers show ID if store employees ask them to. “When they ask your age, you can’t lie,” Connie says. “Most stores don’t sell to me. In a year, we’ve visited almost 150 stores and had only 15 sales.”
Working undercover can be scary, even with police nearby. Connie said one cashier refused to sell her cigarettes and then got angry when he found out her age. He threatened to call the authorities. “To calm him down, the police went in to explain that I was undercover,” she says.
Most teens wouldn’t think of going undercover for the police. What’s Connie’s motivation (動(dòng)機(jī))? For starters, she can’t stand smoking. But she also believes it’s important for young people like her to try to make a real impact in their communities. In her view, teens can do more than get good grades in school, do chores at home, and do well in out-of-class activities.
Every time she stops the sale of cigarettes to children, she’s helping to uphold the law. “A single teenager can make a big difference,” Connie says. “For the most part, when stores get caught, they learn their lesson and don’t do it again.”
小題1:According to the law what age of person can the store be allowed to sell cigarettes to?
A.Under 18.B.More than 18.C.16.D.More than 16.
小題2:Connie goes to convenience stores to ________.
A.discover whether stores can sell cigarettes to kids
B.see which stores can sell cigarettes to her friends
C.look for her friends
D.a(chǎn)rrest the smokers
小題3:What would happen if an owner sells cigarettes to kids?
A.The owner would be arrested.B.The owner would be fined.
C.The kids would be punished.D.The kids would be removed from school.

A.she wants more smokers to quit smoking
B.she wants to get good grades in school
C.she hopes to make a difference in the area
D.she hopes to be excellent in out-of-class activities
小題5:Which of the following might be the main idea of the text?
A.Smoking can be forbidden with the help of a girl.
