One Saturday afternoon, my daughter Alice asked me, “Are all people the same even if they are different in color?”
I thought for a minute, and then I said, “I’ll explain, 1 you can just wait until we make a quick 2 at the grocery store(雜貨店). I have something 3 to show you. ”
At the grocery store, we4 some apples --- red, green and yellow ones. Back home, I told Alice, “It’s time to 5 your question.” I put one apple of each 6on the table. Then I looked at Alice, who had a 7 look on her face.
“People are like apples. They come in all 8colors, shapes and sizes. On the 9, some of the apples may not 10 look as the others. ” As I was talking, Alice was 11 each one carefully.
Then, I took each of the apples and peeled(削皮)them, 12 them back on the table, but 13
“Okay, Alice, tell me which is which.”
She said, “I 14 tell. They all look the same now. ” “Take a bite of 15. See if that helps you 16 which one is which. ”
She took 17, and then a huge smile came across her face. “People are 18 like apples! They are all different, but once you 19 the outside, they’re pretty much the same on the inside. ”
She totally 20 it. I didn’t need to say or do anything else.

Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.
“I don’t often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Fox’s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.”
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October.
And probably Fox’s Shadow was one of them. “I log in on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting online every week,” she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.”
Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. “You don’t know who you’re talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe in online.”
Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have known someone very well. Fox’s Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together.
A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things,” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because I’ve got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore,” he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money.
“If you are really addicted to it, sometimes you can’t give your mind to your lessons,” he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.”
【小題1】From the passage, we know“…they are all just a few clicks away” means“    ”.

A.it is wonderful to see your friends by clicking
B.it is popular to make friends online
C.it is possible to live much closer to your friends
D.it is easy and fast to get in touch with your friends
【小題2】Fox’s Shadow thinks QQ is     .
A.a(chǎn) good place to spend her time when bored
B.the biggest messaging service in China
C.a(chǎn) safe place to chat with strangers
D.the best place to make friends
【小題3】Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?
A.All the people on QQ are talking about foolish things.
B.We should think more of our friends in real life.
C.We should be careful about boys or men online.
D.Chatting online is a waste of time and money.
【小題4】The underlined phrase means     .

I want to tell you a story that changed my life many years ago. We were living in College Station, Texas and my wife and I were on our way home from Houston, Texas one Saturday morning. We decided to stop at a local restaurant to get something to eat since we had enough time. When we finished, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a homeless man standing in front of the building. His clothes were worn and it looked as though he didn’t have any money. It was cold and I was sure he wanted something warm to drink; however, it was not this that I remember, because that is not what "moved" me. A dog was also walking up to the front of the building. Being a dog owner, I knew that the dog was a mother, and that she had just had some pups (小狗). She was hungry and weak and I felt bad for her. I knew if she didn’t eat soon, she and her pups would not live. People walking by didn’t even notice her. She was not as pretty and clean as most dogs, but she still deserved (值得) better. We still did not do anything, but someone else did. The homeless man, who I thought could not afford anything to eat, went into the store and bought dog food with all the money he had.

1.Where did the story happen?

A.In front of the local restaurant.

B.In front of a building.

C.In the car parking lot.

A.The author wanted to help the dog, but he was un-able to.

B.The dog and her pups were in danger of dying from hunger.

C.The dog was not cute enough to be loved.

D.The author didn’t like dogs.

3.Which of the following moved the author?

A.The homeless man had no money to buy food for himself.

B.The homeless man wore worn clothes on cold days.

C.The homeless man bought food for a dog with all his money.

D.Most people walking by the dog didn’t notice her.

4.What can we conclude(得出結(jié)論) from the passage?

A.The author was so hungry that he went into the local restaurant to eat.

B.The author didn’t understand what the homeless man did.

C.The dog shouldn’t be taken care of carefully because it looked ugly.

D.Things are not always what they seem.
