Tess was a precocious(早熟) eight-year-old girl when she heard her Mom and Dad taling about her little brother,Andrew.____ __she knw was that he was very sick and they were completely _____money. They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn’t have the money for the doctor’s bills and their house .Only a(n) _____could save him now.
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly(果冻) jar from its hiding place. She poured all the out on the floor and counted carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be absolutely exact. No here for mistakes. After carefully placing the coins back in the jar, she slipped out of the back door, and her way six blocks to a chemist’s.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some ,but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a noise. Nothing. She cleared her with the most awful sound she could muster. No good.
Finally the pharmacist asked in an tone of voice, “What do you want? I’m talking to my brother from Chicago I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “His name is Andrew and he has something bad inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry, I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, his voice a little.
There was a man there whose clothes were admirable. He asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know” Tess replied with tears in her eyes. “I just know he's sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay it, so I want to use my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered.
“A dollar and eleven cents ― the price of a miracle for your little brother,” smiled the man, “Take me to you live. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery (神经外科). The operation was completely charge and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again and did well.
Mom and Dad were happy but they wonder how much the operation would have . Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost…one dollar and eleven cents…plus the of a little child.

Twelve years ago, when I was 50,I wondered what 60 or 70 would be like? I looked around and saw only one style of living. It’s not fair, I thought. Young people have so many styles to choose from, but older people have just one choice. So I decide to do something about it , something practical.
I worked on my fitness by joining exercise classes in town. A few years later, my husband and I moved to a retirement community, and I wanted to teach aerobic（有氧运动的）classes. The community center wouldn’t give me a room to teach in, so I had to walk around and find any available empty room.
One day, the community center staff came to me and asked if I would help with the entertainment for a Hawaiian luau（夏威夷式宴会）they were putting on. I said yes. Then I talked five other ladies into dancing with me. We performed the hula（呼啦舞）and a war chant and brought the house down. Someone had a camera and took pictures, and then sent them to our local paper. We got requests for more engagements, which in turn led to more publicity and yet more engagements. Soon we had invitations from all over the country. The Dancing Grannies were born!
I think the real secret of the Dancing Grannies is out attitude. I was raised extremely poor ---no-food poor. If we wanted toys we had to make things up to play with ,so I learned early to be very creative. And you know,I think being poor was one of the best things that ever happened to me because I learned to look for treasures.
That’s what I’m still doing today—looking for the treasure in growing old. I’m getting better and better.
It’s true that antiques have to be treated a bit differently, with a little care, but they still have a beauty of their own.
1.What did the writer think of the living style of the older people when she was 50?
A. Unsatisfying B. Favorable C. Pleasant D. Practical
2.Why did the writer have to walk around and find an empty room?
A. Because she couldn’t offer an expensive room.
B. Because she wasn’t given a room to teach in by the community center.
C. Because she wanted to find a better one.
D. Because she wanted to keep fit by walking.
3.What can we infer from the writer’s performance?
A. It was just so-so. B. It was a failure.
C. It was average. D. It was a success.
4.What made the writer learn to look for treasures?
A. Being active B. Being creative
C. Being rich D. Being poor
5.What does the underlined word “antiques” (in the last paragraph) refer to?
A. Ancient treasures B. Poor children
C. Old people D. The Dancing Grannies

The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound(白蚁堆).
Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The building—the country’s largest commercial and shopping complex—uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didn’t have to be imported.
The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.
During summer’s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.
This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings—days as warm as 31℃ commonly drop to 14℃ at night. “You couldn’t do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.
The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh—far more so than in air-conditioned building, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.
1.What’s the meaning of “complex” in the second paragraph?
A. Something that is difficult to understand.
B. A group of buildings together in one place.
C. A group of things that are connected.
D. A mental state that is not normal.
2.How is fresh air from outside drawn out?
A. By fans. B. Via ceiling vents.
C. Through chimneys. D. Via ceiling vents and through chimneys.
3.What is NOT the factor that makes Eastgate Building work well?
A. Skies without clouds.
B. Little dampness.
C. Daily rapid temperature changes
D. Seasonal rapid temperature changes.
4.In general, how is the daily temperature of the building?
A. It changes in a certain range with some exception.
B. It changes from one extreme to another.
C. It remains the same without any exception.
D. It is hard to endure.
5.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners.
B. How air-conditioning works.
C. Fans make Eastgate Building’s temperature comfortable.
D. How Eastgate Building’s temperature control system works.

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool－headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves to a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
1. According to the passage, where is it that the nicest men would become short-tempered?
A. Beside the wheel. B. Before the wheel.
C. In a cage. D. In the driver’s seat.
2.Which of the following is proper when drivers are forced to face rude driving?
A. Fighting and quarreling.
B. Showing great patience.
C. Calling back.
D. Beating back
3.What can be dangerous from the passage?
A. Road politeness. B. Road sense.
C. Inappropriate politeness. D. Traffic jams.
4.The following statements are right EXCEPT that________.
A. Modern drivers are good at driving
B. Blockages can cause unpleasant feelings.
C. Modern drivers can’t master the roadmanship.
D. All road users should understand the meaning of “give-and-take”.
5.Which section of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from?
A. Health and life. B. Health and society.
C. Human and society. D. Human and environment.

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。（注意问题后的字数要求）
【1】 One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime(10分硬币) left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
【2】 However, he lost his courage when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
【3】 “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.
【4】 Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town __________, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
【5】Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.
【6】After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words…
“Paid in full with a glass of milk”
(Signed) Dr Howard Kelly
【7】Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently, “Thank you, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.”
