In 1992, when Xi Jinping worked in Fuzhou, he came across a newspaper report about “My Guling,” written by a Chinese student studying in the United States.

The report described an American couple who tried in vain to revisit a southern Chinese town called Guling, where the husband, Milton Gardner, had spent 10 years of his childhood before moving back to the united States in 1911.

Gardner, who later became a professor of physics at the University of California, had been longing to revisit Guling since 1979 when the diplomatic ties between China and the US were set up. But he had never made the trip due to his failing health.

According to the newspaper, Gardner kept uttering（叨念） “Kuling, Kuling” in the final hours of his life.

After he passed away, his wife Elizabeth Gardner decided to carry out the dying wish of her husband and since then made several trips to China in an attempt to find the small town that her husband had so much affection about. Her efforts ended in vain as she had few clues（线索）about the exact spot of the town. But a Chinese student lodging（寄宿）at the Gardners’ recognized the small town as Guling near Fuzhou City from postmarks on some old mails of late Mr. Gardner. The student wrote an article about Gardners’ story and sent it to the People’s Daily, one of the major newspapers in China.

“After I read the story, I immediately contacted Mrs. Gardner through the departments concerned and invited her to visit Guling,” Xi told the media. Thanks to Xi’s arrangement, Mrs. Gardner finally arrived at Guling in August 1992. She met there with nine childhood friends of her husband, all of whom were over 90 years old at that time.

It was a happy occasion for Mrs. Gardner, who was later awarded the honorary citizenship of Fuzhou City, Xi recalled.

“She said that she would value this bond（纽带）of friendship between her husband and the people of China, because after seeing for herself the beautiful Guling and the warmth and goodwill of the Chinese people, she now understood why her husband had been so deeply attached to China.”

“I believe there are many such touching stories between our two peoples,” said Xi.

1. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner were brought up in a southern Chinese town.

B. The name of the town changed shortly after Milton Gardner left.

C. Guling might have originally been pronounced as Kuling in English.

D. Mrs. Gardner knew exactly where the small town lay in south China.

2.According to the passage, Mr. Gardner_________.

A. lived and worked in Guling for ten years

B. had few memories about the small Chinese town

C. kept in touch with his childhood playmates until he passed away

D. was deeply impressed by Guling’s people and environment

3.What played the most important part in making Milton Gardner’s wish come true?

A. The help from newspapers.

B. Mrs. Gardner’s hard efforts.

C. Mr. Xi’s concern and arrangement.

D. The Chinese student’s letter to Mr. Xi.

4.From the passage we can learn that_____.

A. the Gardners’ story is a moving one with a happy ending

B. the Chinese student studying in the US must be from Fuzhou

C. the mails which became clues of Guling were sent by Gardner

Papa was a ranger.He worked with horses.He always wore clean clothes with a hat even when he worked.His hat was always the same kind of a cowboy hat—large black hat of heavy wool.He wore his hat full and high.I think he wanted to look taller than he really was.

Mama was proud of the way he looked when he wore his hat and his best clothes.But in some way she got the idea that papa would lose his hair if he kept wearing a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather.She began to talk about his hat.

"Papa,"she said one day,"why don't you get a nice cool straw hat?That heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!"Papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldn't recognize him if he changed the hat.But she didn't believe him.

Mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long.At last papa answered,a little angry,"It would not the cowboy hat but a wife's talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair."

Mama had a very serious look on her face.She went straight out and later came home with a straw hat.It was a bad year for ranger and we didn't have much money.She thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat,papa would wear it.When papa saw the hat,his face got red.Without a word,he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses.

He was a good ranger and gentle to his horses.But as papa got close to the horses this time,they jumped high into the air,raising their front feet.All of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn.Papa began to shout "Woo boys.Steady boys,steady." But there was nothing equal to.

Papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen,pushed the straw hat deep down into the fire then turned to mama,in a way that even frightened me."Now listen to me,mama.Understand this I will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like."Then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house.

I never heard mama talk any more about hats.Perhaps,that is why when papa died many years later,there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair.

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

My father always told me: “All work is noble.” He wasn’t wealthy, but he earned a reasonable living. Thanks to his effort, I was able to go to an art college. I, however, wanted to do something different, something more interesting — I was special!

After graduation, I moved to New York in search of a graphic designer job. It was winter and I only brought money to support myself for about a month. I wasn’t worried — I was sure I’d find a fantastic job immediately.

Within a few weeks, though, I found myself wandering around the streets having been rejected by every design office in town. My hostel rent was almost gone and I hadn’t eaten for days. “How had I reached this point?” I wondered as I trembled in my thin jacket.

I was just about to give up when my dad called. He suggested I get a job in a restaurant until something else came along. At first, pride made me hesitate but I was cold, hungry, and unwilling to go home feeling ashamed and defeated.

I entered a café near one of the design offices that had turned me away and asked the manager if they were hiring. She said they were shorthanded, and offered me a job right away. Surprisingly, I found that I really enjoyed serving people. I started making big tips right away. Later, the manager learned that I had a design background and asked me to design the café menus. That led to a part-time job at an advertising company.

Previously, I had never considered being a waiter, but there I was. I eventually got my dream design job, but that winter I learned not to make assumptions(假定、设想) about work.

1.Why did the author go to New York after graduation? (No more than 10 words)

2.What does the underlined word “trembled” mean? (No more than 3 words)

3.Where did the author get a job to support his life after calling his father?(No more than 10 words)

4.How did the author find his job as a waiter? (No more than 5 words)

5.What can we learn from the article? (No more than 25 words)

I shall never forget the day when the earthquake took place. The time was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and I was driving along the road to take my daughter from school. Our plan was to go swimming together. I finished my work at 4 o’clock and then went to the post office. Then I stopped off at a shop in order to get some fresh fruit. We’d like to have some fruit after swimming.

I was driving along a high road on my way to my daughter’s school. Over my road was another road, which was built like a bridge for cars coming to the other way. I was hungry so I put the bag of apples in the seat beside me and started to eat one.

Suddenly I saw the cars in front of me start to move from side to side. Then my car started to shake! I didn't know what was happening. Perhaps something had gone wrong with my car. I drove more slowly and then I stopped the car and at the same moment the road fell onto the cars in front of me.

I found myself in the dark. I couldn't move. The bottom parts of both of my legs and my feet were hurting badly and I couldn't move them. All around me was quiet. But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I memorized what had happened. I had been in an earthquake.

For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of apples, so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I heard people climbing towards me. A team of people had come to see if anyone was under the broken road. I called out, “I’m here!” when I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to the side of the road near my car. “How are you doing?” he asked. “Not too bad, ”I said. “But my feet and legs feel as if they’re broken.”“We’ll have you out of there just as soon as we can.” They didn't get me out until the next morning. I had been in my car for fourteen hours.

1.When the earthquake took place, the writer was ________.

2.The writer’s car began to move from side to side because________.
