It was a bright Saturday morning. I stopped at a café to enjoy a cup of coffee and read the morning newspaper. Suddenly, I felt a hand on the back of my jacket and heard someone say, “Hey Steve! How are you doing?”
Looking back, I saw a man. He looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember where we had met.
The young man also held a cup of coffee, so I asked him to join me. Very soon, his story began to thaw out my memory.
Five years earlier, Johnson was traveling home late on a February night. A heavy snow had arrived that afternoon, and by midnight, the snowdrifts(雪堆)were getting deep. His car was stuck in a snowdrift just down the road from my house.
He walked to my house for help. I helped him pull his car out of the snowdrift and up to the street where the snow had been cleaned away.
This was a normal happening here during the winter. I couldn’t count the times someone has helped me to pull my car from a snowdrift. However, it was an unforgettable experience for him. He was only eighteen at that time, and he said he was very afraid. No one wants to be stuck in a snowdrift at night.
Sometimes, one simple kindness at the right moment can change the direction of a life. So, be kind and helpful.
1.Where did Steve meet Johnson for the first time?
A. At a café. B. At Steve’s house. C. At a bus station. D. On a street.
2.The underlined phrase “thaw out” in Paragraph 3 means “_______” in Chinese.
A. 打断 B. 珍藏 C. 增强 D. 唤起
3.Johnson asked Steve for help one night because_______.
A. he lost his way home
B. his friend was injured
C. he was caught in a heavy snow
D. his car broke down on the way
4.According to Steve, helping Johnson was_______.
A. a normal thing
B. a strange thing
C. an unusual behavior
D. an unforgettable experience
5.The writer’s purpose of writing the passage is to tell us_______.
A. friendship is very important
B. even a simple kindness matters
C. meeting an old friend is a pleasure
D. it is better not to drive in a snowy night

One morning it was shining brightly when I woke up. I looked at the alarm clock. It said 3:45! It had stopped! What time was it? I climbed out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. The kitchen clock said 8:30—I was late! My parents were away. My aunt had gone to work without checking if I was up. The school bus went at 8:00. I had missed it. I rang my friend Tony on his mobile phone.
“Tell the teacher I’ll be in as soon as I can!” I said.
“Come on your rollerblades,” Tony said. “It will be faster than the bus.”
I washed and dressed in a hurry. I grabbed an apple to eat on the way. That was my breakfast! Then I put on my rollerblades and set off for school. It took half an hour to get to the school. I took all the shortcuts I knew. I went across the park — even through some backyards! When I got to school, I was very hot and my legs ached. I had missed math, our first lesson of the morning. But I made it just in time for history, our second lesson. I was very happy because history is my favorite subject.
1.The boy woke up at __________ that morning.
A. 3:45 B. 7:30 C. 8:00 D. 8:30
2.The boy got up late mainly because __________.
A. his alarm clock had stopped
B. his parents were away
C. his aunt had gone to work
D. he had missed the school bus
3.The boy got to school __________ that morning.
A. by bus B. by skating C. by running D. by bike
4.The boy took all the shortcuts in order to __________.
A. have breakfast on the way
B. meet his friend
C. get to school as soon as he could
D. have his favorite lesson

Saturday morning was bright and fresh. There was a song in every heart, cheer on every face, and a spring in every step.
Tom appeared with a bucket（桶）of white paint in one hand and a brush in the other. His Aunt Polly told him to paint the fence（篱笆）around the garden. It was ninety feet long and nine feet high. He felt very blue.
Then he had a wonderful idea. He picked up his brush and started to work.
Soon Ben came along the road. He was happily eating an apple. He stopped to look at Tom. Tom went on painting and pretended（假装）not to see Ben.
“I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to go swimming, Tom? But I guess you can’t. You have to stay and work, don’t you?”
“Work?” Tom said. “This isn’t work. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?”
Ben thought about this. Tom continued painting carefully. Sometimes he stopped, stood back to look at the fence like an artist, and then added（增加）a bit more paint in just the right place. Ben was watching Tom paint with great interest. He was getting more and more eager（渴望的）to have a try himself.
After a while, Ben asked Tom if he would let him paint a little. Tom thought about it, and said, “No, Ben, I can’t. You see. Aunt Polly wants it to be done well. Aunt Polly said that I must paint it with great care.”
“Oh, please, Tom,” begged Ben. “I can do it. I’ll be really careful. Just let me try. I’ll give you half of my apple. Well, I’ll give you all of it!”
“Well, all right, Ben,” said Tom. “You must be very careful.”
He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He sat down under the tree, and started to eat Ben’s apple. All day, boys came to make fun of Tom, but they ended up staying to paint. When Ben got tired, Billy was waiting. He gave Tom a kite for a chance to paint. Then Johnny offered him a basketball, and so on.
By late afternoon Tom had got all kinds of toys, and the fence had got three coats of paint. Later Aunt Polly came to look at the painted fence. She was so pleased with Tom’s work that she gave Tom a large cake!
1.Why did Tom pretend not to see Ben when he came and watched him painting?
A. He saw Ben eating an apple happily.
B. He tried to make Ben interested in it.
C. He didn’t want to go swimming with Ben at all.
D. He didn’t want Ben to share the chance to paint the fence.
2.What does the underlined word “spring” probably mean in Chinese?
A. 春天 B. 弹簧 C. 泉 D. 活力
3.What do you think of Tom?
A. Honest. B. Smart. C. Shy. D. Stubborn.

It was Saturday morning and I asked seven-year-old Kelley to let her daddy take her to gym class. But she didn’t agree. I explained that some friends would visit our house that day and I had to clean the house. But the truth was, I had spent 20 years watching Kelley’s five elder brothers and sisters take lessons and I just wanted to get out of it. However, seeing Kelley was going to cry, I decided to do this once more.
Looking through the door, I watched as the teacher led the students to a rope (绳索) hanging in the corner of the gym. One after another, each child in line climbed up the thick rope while the teacher held it at the bottom. Then it was Kelley’s turn — the youngest in the class. With a big smile, she climbed higher and higher. Then it happened. About halfway up, the teacher loudly warned, “Don’t go up any farther than you’re able to come down.”
Kelley halted... Then slowly moved down all the way to the floor. I knew she was heading to the top of that rope and was perfectly capable (能胜任的) of reaching it. Why did she stop? I questioned her on the way home.
“Kelley, could you have climbed all the way to the top?”
“Yes,” she quietly replied.
“Then why didn’t you keep going?”
Silence.
“Was it because of what the teacher said?” I asked.
She nodded.
I knew it was time to teach.
“Kelley, don’t let anybody make you doubt yourself. Don’t ever let anyone keep you from knowing what you can do... Even though they seem bigger, or smarter or older. Will you remember that?” I said.
“Yes!” She answered quickly.
I was glad I chose to take Kelley to the class and got the chance to teach her an important lesson.
1.The writer did NOT want to take Kelley to gym class at first because she _____.
A.became very tired of it. B.needed to visit some friends
C.had so much housework to do D.had to take lessons herself
2.Seeing Kelley climbing higher and higher, the teacher felt _____.
A.angry B.worried C.proud D.pleased
3.The underlined word “halted” in paragraph 3 means _____.
A.smiled B.stopped C.remembered D.counted
4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.The writer has six children to look after.
B.Kelley would like her father to take her to gymnastics class.
C.The other children in gymnastic class are younger than Kelley.
D.Kelley was very frightened before the teacher’s warning.
5.What did the writer expect Kelley to do?
A.To take care of her safety. B.To follow the teacher’s advice.
C.To do as other students do. D.To have confidence in herself.
