We thought we had it all---a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment---and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband’s job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren’t any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn’t felt in years.

That’s why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.

Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children and each other. That’s what’s important. That makes you a rich man.”

“ But what if we lose the house? They’ll hate me—you’ll hate me,” he replied.

I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will be happy –as long as I have you.” I smiled again. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”.

  I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn’t for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.

We are still struggling for out better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can’t buy and no one can take away from us.

The underlined sentence in the second paragraph means that________.

       A．they became closer as they struggled together    

B．they hoped to find jobs in the same company

       C．neither of them had the courage to ace difficulty

       D．they were trying to make their relationship closer

We can learn from the passage that________.

       A．they both found good jobs at last.

       B．both of them were worried about joblessness.

       C．her husband was to blame for the unemployment

       D．they didn’t love each other when they got married

Which of the following can best describe their present life?

       A．Bitter but easy.         B．Comfortable and happy.

       C．Hard but warm.          D．Well-off and relaxing.

The best title of the passage might be________         .

       A．We Have It All            B．We Find It Again

       C．A Perfect Couple            D．A Hard Time

My husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five-day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.

One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.

Holding my daughter, I turned around and said to the gentleman, “Sir. Are you hungry?” He said, “Yes.” I then asked, “May we buy you something to eat?” He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself.”

My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order to our bill.” The manager said with a frown(皺眉), “Okay.” We turned to our table and the gentleman said, loudly and quickly, “Thank You!” We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered. One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.

When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn’t see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.

1.From the appearance of the gentleman, we can guess he was probably a(n) _____.

A．waiter            B．a(chǎn)ctor             C．beggar            D．worker

2.The manager of the restaurant looked frightened because _____.

A．the man was not friendly

B．he had fired the man before

C．the man had stolen something from the restaurant

D．he was afraid the man wouldn’t afford to pay the food

3.From the passage, we can infer the man _____.

A．was thankful for their kind act

B．felt ashamed and slipped away

C．was hungry and ate a lot of food

D．was too proud to accept their offer

4.The phrase “made my day” in the last paragraph probably means ______.

A．wasted my money                       B．moved me deeply

C．made me feel sorry                      D．made me very happy

When the shooting of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was complete, it was much more than a movie wrap-up (結(jié)束).

   Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, told The Sunday Times that he’s happy to have the time for romance now filming is over. Emma Watson, who is Hermione Granger in the movies, said she looked forward to “finally being free, being my own person” – a change signaled by her new haircut.

   Daniel Radcliffe, who has been the face of the boy wizard since 2001, said that he “did cry like a little girl” when the last movie finished.

   “It’s like the ending of a relationship,” he told The Vancouver Sun. “There’s a sense of, ‘God, what am I going to do now?’” He said he was eager to see “what life holds for him beyond Hogwarts”.

   Along with the three actors, Harry Potter fans, now in their late teens, came of age with J.K. Rowling’s characters. For them, the last film isn’t just a goodbye to a decade of magic, but the close of their childhoods.

   “We are the Harry Potter generation,” Canadian Andrea Hill, 19, told The Vancouver Sun. “We started in elementary school, reading about a boy our age who was going through the same things we were going through. We grew up, so did he.”

   For Emily Chahal, an 18-year-old student, the series has been an inspiring journey. “That first book was what started my love of literature. It was the inspiration for everything – really teaching me to appreciate my friends, and to face difficulties with a sense of courage,” she said. “I have a sense of sadness. The end of the movies is kind of the end of my childhood, too.”

   Fortunately, to the delight of die-hard fans, there are many things that keep the boy wizard alive. For example, in June this year, a Harry Potter theme park opened in Florida, US.

   Some schools in the US and UK also have Quidditch teams – players ride broomsticks. “We’re not waiting anymore to see what happens to Harry next,” Hill told The Vancouver Sun. She founded a Quidditch club at Carleton University in Canada. “We’re still engaged in that magical world.”

1..

 How did Emma Watson feel when she finished the shooting of the Harry Potter series?

A. She cried like a little girl.

B. She was ready to move onto something new.

C. She was happy to have the time for romance.

D. She felt it was like the end of a relationship.

2..

. What did Daniel Radcliffe mean by saying he was eager to see “what life holds for him beyond Hogwarts”?

A. He was bored with life in Hogwarts.

B. He couldn’t wait to graduate from Hogwarts.

C. He missed life in Hogwarts now he had left.

D. He was looking forward to new life out of Hogwarts.

3..

. The series has brought Emily Chahal all the following EXCEPT _______.

A. the chance to live in a magical world

B. the courage to face difficulties

C. the appreciation of her friends

D. encouragement to love literature

4..

 What is the main focus of the article?

A. Celebration of the close of childhood.

B. Fans’ love for the Harry Potter series.

C. Mixed feelings about the end of the series.

D. Excited anticipation of the opening of the Harry Potter theme park.
