It was raining hard and nearly dusk. I was late for an appointment in the nearby city that I knew only by GPS. Now my phone had died. The usual interstate exits were closed. I couldn’t figure out how to get where I was going or how to let my appointment know I was likely not going to make it there.

I stopped at a McDonald’s in a poor part of the town and walked up to what appeared to be a mother and her teen daughter. I’m sorry, but do you mind, is it possible for me to look up a number on your phone and then call my friends and let them know I am lost?” She handed me her phone and they told me I was lucky that she had her phone. It was getting ready to be turned off because she didn't have enough money to pay the phone bill.

The young girl and mother seemed to be clinging to each other and talked together as I made my phone call, not really paying me much attention as the people at the other end of the phone told me to come on, I was not too late, and then told me how to get there As I stood to leave, suddenly, I reached into my wallet where I don't usually have cash and pulled out all. I had a $20 bill. I pressed it into the mother’s hand and then turned to leave quickly because 1 didn’t want to take the credit for it. But not before seeing that she was crying，her daughter called after me,” Thanks, sir. You have no idea how you just helped us.” And yet, they really helped me.

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.

When Doctor Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle: "No pains, no gains". He hardly watered his new trees, which greatly went against conventional (守旧的) wisdom. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things hard for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how trees, if they were not watered, would grow deep roots in search of water. So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he'd beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.

Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some twenty five years ago. They were all tall and strong.

I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb's trees in ways comfort and ease never could.

Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often hope that their lives will be easy. But lately I've been thinking that it's time to change my idea. I know my children are going to meet with hard times. There's always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to hope for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be torn apart.

1.With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often __________.

A.kept watering them every day B.paid very little attention to them

C.beat them to make them grow tall D.talked to them to get their attention

2.What does the underlined word “Adversity” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?

A.A happy moment. B.An important position.

C.A difficult situation. D.A dirty environment.

3.What does the author wish for his sons?

A.Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.

B.Have an easy, happy and comfortable life.

C.Have good luck, meeting no hardship at all.

D.Be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A.Growing Roots B.Doctor Gibbs’ Trees

C.Watering Trees D.Helping My Sons

I have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park which lies in Hawaii.

When we arrived at Haleakala National Park we were suggested to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin so we waited and waited. However another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.

Nearly another one hour later “Amazing!” a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness which is really unbelievable. Until today I dare say that it is the most impressive（印象深刻的）sunrise in my life. However waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I can not wipe out forever.

Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasingly unbelievable and satisfied. So it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.

1.When did they see the first light of the sunrise?

A.About 3 o’clock. B.About 4 o’clock.

C.Nearly 5 o’clock. D.Nearly 6 o’clock.

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “chilly” in paragraph two?

A.Total. B.Cold.

C.Terrible. D.Interesting.

3.What’s the author’s attitude towards waiting for the sunrise?

A.Excited all the time. B.Afraid all the time.

C.Firstly excited then afraid. D.Firstly excited then impatient.

4.What does the author want to tell us by this passage?

A.Sometimes it is worthwhile to wait for the best.

B.Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise.

C.I enjoyed the most flaming sunrise in my life.

D.My friends and I took a trip to Hawaii.

It was late one evening. I can’t remember what it was about, but my Dad and I had a very big argument when my mother was away. We both said things we didn’t mean, and in the end I said, “I’m leaving.” And he said, “Good. The sooner, the better.”

I threw a few things in the suitcase and closed the door violently behind me, not knowing where I was going. After walking aimlessly for 20 minutes, I stopped at a local supermarket. Then my phone rang. It was my mom calling. She said, “Hey, Mary. Where are you? Dad is worried about you.”

“How can he worry about me? I’ve been away for nearly half an hour, but he didn’t call.” I said with annoyance. My anger returned and I remembered all the hateful things he’d shouted to me. “Listen, Mom. You can tell Dad that I’m fine. I’ll call you tomorrow.” I said and hung up.

I walked around the supermarket, trying to get my thoughts together. By the time I paid for my purchases, it had been much later than I used to be out alone.

The rain was sudden and heavy on a cold night over ten years ago. Moving all the way against the heavy rain, my bus could barely stick to its normal route and was forced to stop at the station due to flash flooding.

With still two kilometers to go, time ran against me picking up my then four year old daughter from her childcare center. What waited for me was knee high water. I had no choice but to struggle through in the pouring rain to buy a cheap plastic coat in the shopping mall for my daughter.

After taking off my jacket and putting it into my bag to keep dry, I pulled up my skirt and took off my shoes, starting to run. Although I was wet through when arriving at the daycare center, I felt lucky to be only a few minutes late. Now I had to fix another problem.

All means of getting home appeared impossible to me. There were no buses with the clock striking 6 pm. I had no money to pay for a taxi. As the sky turned darker and darker, it seemed that we could never manage to get home.

The only thing we could do was to stand outside the childcare center staring at the rain pouring down. There was no sign of stopping. Lost in my own thoughts, I just hardly noticed another parent pull up and race inside to collect his child ten minutes later. I did not recognize him and my thoughts turned back to my current situation.

when I paid the bill at a checkout counter ,I found myself behind an elderly woman who seemed in no hurry when she paid for her groceries.She looked up at me and smiled.It was a nice smile –warm and friendly –and I returned her gift by smiling back.
