My wife passed away seven and a half years ago, and I went through a huge depression (消沉), the worst time in my life. I even wanted to end my life. I continued to work as a small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Kilauea, Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. On a family trip, we turned on the TV and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. I said to my kids, “I’m going to Afghanistan.” International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in some provinces where people had no health care. Eventually, the clinics were serving 27,000 patients a month. I had such a sense of accomplishment, a sense of purpose. My depression went completely away.

I go wherever disasters strike: Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquake. I was just in Kenya.

I've always loved pigeons(鸽子). Some years ago I managed to persuade my wife to let me buy a few and start 16  them myself. They cost a lot of money and so it spoilt(破坏) our 17 a bit, but my wife never actually stopped me so I 18 carried on. I learnt so much about them that I could19a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of 20 .

You see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they get to know that your pigeons are 21big prizes.

My wife had been changing her 22  to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite 23  of all the prizes we’d won. Then there was the travelling, which she liked. You see some one has to take the pigeons a 24  way off and set them free. Some of the 25  were really nice. I never travelled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They’ve got this wonderful sense of 26 , which can bring them back home so quickly. They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes 27  storms or against strong winds. And there they’d come, tiny white birds against the great 28 . Then I'd watch them 29  round and come down onto the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch and think, “My goodness, that’s a good 30 . ”And I'd take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to 31  what time he’d arrived. Then my wife would32 up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we’d won 33 .

Then last year we had a 34 ! All of them got some sort of flu and 35. It was terrible. I had to burn them all. We lost a fortune, of course.

My wife and I spent two weeks in London last year. We went there in the autumn. We think it is the best season to visit England. The weather is usually good and there aren’t too many tourists in October.

We stayed in a small hotel in the West End. It was convenient as we did most of our sightseeing on foot. Taxis were too expensive, we couldn’t understand the bus routes, and my wife didn’t like traveling under the ground. She said it made her feel sick.

We went to look at the places which all tourists visit. We saw Buckingham Palace. We went shopping in Oxford Street and spent too much money. What we liked most, though, was going to the theatre. We didn’t have the chance to see such wonderful plays at home. A lot of people say English food is bad. We didn’t think so. It is true that most of the restaurants are French or Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals.

In fact, we enjoyed our holiday so much that we have already booked again for this year. We are going to take our umbrellas, though. I’m sure we’ll need them sometimes.

1.The couple chose a small hotel in the West End to stay in because _________.

2.The couple had some difficulty in ________.

3.Generally speaking, the couple _________the trip to London.

4.What did the couple think of English food?

5.Which of the following is NOT true about the couple?

It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a non-English speaking home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play. If I tried to talk to him, he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.

After a day or two of this, I decided to seek the help of one of my outgoing and friendly little girls. I called her over and she ran to me, ready to help.

I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her. I asked her if she would try to get him to play, and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. I explained she could do this, she could do that, she could try this idea, she could try that idea. She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a six-year-old can, and said, “Don’t worry. I speak kid.” And she ran off.

I stood there all alone, silently watching her. It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off, hand in hand, happily joining a game of tag(捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.

I often think of that small moment, about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid—big kid, little kid and middle kid. I knew my focus must be on teaching students how to think, how to approach problems, and how to figure out solutions and never take the opportunity away. We must be ready to learn from our students because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us, the teachers, as well as our kids.

1..

Why did the author worry about the boy?

A. He didn’t dare to look the author in the eye.

B. He couldn’t speak English as well as other students.

C. He failed to understand what the author taught.

D. He was unwilling to communicate with others.

2..

After the girl agreed to help, the author________.

A. taught her what to do in detail          B. thanked her for her willingness to help

C. sent her to make friends with the boy at once

D. reminded her of what she should be careful about

3..

By saying “I speak kid”, the girl meant that she could________.

A. speak the language that kids understand  B. speak the boy’s native language

C. understand what kids are thinking        D. speak well like a little kid

4..

The underlined words “the opportunity” refer to the chance to ________.

A. play at break time                       B. learn from students

C. solve problems                       D. speak kid

A year ago, my friend and I went to a nearby town to attend a wedding. After the reception, we were waiting for a public transport bus to go back home. It was nine o’clock at night, and although many buses passed, none stopped.

　　　 We waited for an hour and were getting forlorn. We wouldn’t be able to stay overnight because it was weekday, and we both needed to work the next day. It was almost 10 p.m. when a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. Probably sensing that we were waiting for some means of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift.

I was so touched by their kindness, and I expressed my thanks to them. When we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared taxi to get back to the spot where we had parked our bike. On the way, a laborer stopped the taxi. The driver saw his clothes and asked him whether he had money to pay the fare.

The laborer shook his head and said, “No.” On hearing this, the driver refused to take him. I remembered my own dilemma a few minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him to sit with us, as I would pay his fare. What an immediate opportunity to pass on the family’s act of kindness!

That night, I felt lightness in my heart, and I went to sleep happily and filled with joy about what I had gotten to do. How I wish this chain of kindness could continue all over the world with your help! That is why today I specially share my story with you again!

1.The reason why the driver permitted the laborer to get in is that __________.

A.the driver showed mercy on the laborer

B.the author promised to pay the laborer’s fare

C.the laborer finally agreed to pay his own fare

D.the driver wanted to share stories with the laborer

2.What does the underlined “forlorn” in the second paragraph mean?

A.Hopeless. B.Excited.

C.Happy. D.Calm.

3.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.A poor laborer. B.A terrible trip.

C.Magic chain of kindness. D.The power of friendship.

A few days ago my wife sent me out to buy something. When I came home, I handed her a paper bag and said, “Here are the apples you wanted.” She looked in the bag, and then she looked at me. “I told you,” she said slowly, “to buy some eggs.”

I felt worried about my absent-mindedness (心不在焉，健忘) , so I went to see a doctor. He was a very kind man. “I have seen many people like you. It’s nothing to worry about,” he said. “If you know you are absent-minded, you are all right. But if you do not know you’re absent-minded, you may be really in trouble.”

“Many famous people were absent-minded,” the doctor told me. “Thomas Edison was standing in line one day to pay his taxes. When he arrived at the window, he found that he had forgotten his own name. He had to ask the man who was behind him to tell him who he was.”

I felt much better and got up to leave. “Thank you, doctor,” I said. “How much do I have to pay you?”

“Ten dollars for the check-up ,” the doctor said.

“But doctor, I did not have a check-up!”

For a moment the doctor looked puzzled. Then he said, “Oh, yes, it was the patient before you who had a check-up. How absent-minded I am!”

1.It can be inferred (推断) from the first paragraph that when the author’s wife heard what her husband told her, she was ______.

A. excited　　 B. surprised

C. sad　　 D. proud

2.The doctor took Edison’s story for example ______.

A. to make fun of Edison

B. because he liked telling stories
