It was an extremely cold December night, and I had just settled into the living room sofa with a book when I heard a sharp knocking on the front door. The sound frightened me, mainly because it was 8:45 PM, quite dark outside, and I was alone. My husband had left two days before for a meeting.

I sat thinking for a moment about who could be at my door at that hour. I live on a really quiet street on the North Shore about a block off the main road. Hours can go by without a car or pedestrian(行人)passing in front of my home, a small house that's more than 100 years old.

Another moment passed. More sharp knocking. And then a face pressed against the square window in my front door, with which I made eye contact(接触). A woman's face. She was saying something, but I couldn't make it out.

I wish I could say that the first thing I wanted to do was to jump off the sofa to help this woman, but I hesitated(犹豫)because of all the bad stories about women who open their doors to strangers. What went through my mind was this: What if I open the door and she isn't alone but has an accomplice(同伙)hiding behind that big plant, and then they both come in and kill me?

Still, I opened the door. If I was killed, I had had a good life. She ran into my living room "Gracias. My phone---is dead." Speaking mostly Spanish, but intermixed with bits of English, the woman indicated(暗示)that she was lost, that her phone was dead and that she needed to call her sister who was supposed to have picked her up at the train station but hadn't. So she had decided to try and walk to her sister's but had gotten completely lost in the dark.

I offered to make her some tea while we waited for her phone to charge enough so that she could show me her sister's address.

1.Why does the author mention her surroundings in Paragraph 2?

A.To show off her wealth and social position.

B.To stress her house can seldom be visited.

C.To express her satisfaction with her life.

D.To explain how to find her house easily.

2.How did the author react to the knocking?

A.She turned a deaf ear to it.

B.She answered it immediately.

C.She asked her husband for advice.

D.She thought twice before opening the door.

3.What can we learn about the stranger?

A.She mistook her sister's address.

B.She was a native English speaker.

C.She meant to turn to the author for help.

D.She got in touch with her sister just recently.

4.Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?

A.Unusual. B.Relaxing.

C.Frightening. D.Painful.

It was a cold December day． After saying goodbye to his neighbor， David， Tom set out for a run with his dog， Taz．As a professional athlete， Tom often went for training runs by himself， and had done this particular route many times before， but that day something unusual happened to him．

About an hour later， Tom hit some black ice． He found himself slipping down the rock face， which became steeper and steeper （陡峭的）until suddenly he was in free fall． He fell 60 feet into the canyon （峡谷），landing on grass and dry branches． If he'd missed them， there was no way he would have survived． He could feel his legs，so he knew he wasn't paralyzed （瘫痪的），but he was in great pain． Taz had managed to find his way back to Tom， so Tom knew there must be a way out of the canyon， but he couldn't stand or even crawl （爬行）． He later learned that he had broken his pelvis （骨盆）．

Tom shouted for help， and tried to pull himself forward． Every inch was an effort． It took him five hours to go a quarter of a mile． Eventually it got so dark that he couldn't see where he was going． He decided to stay next to a river which he could drink some water from． All he had on him were his jogging clothes， a water bottle， two boxes of medicine， a bar of chocolate， and a shower cap which adventure racers often wear to prevent heat loss．

At night， the temperature dropped below freezing． Tom couldn't go to sleep or he would die， so he stayed awake lifting his head a few inches，over and over． Throughout the night，Taz curled up next to him and kept him company． The next morning， he couldn't move any more． He tried to stay positive． He was sure somebody would find he was missing or hear him screaming for help． But there was nobody around．

It was a cold winter morning and I was waiting in line to see Jack Canfield, one of the authors of the best selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.

During his presentation, Jack pulled out a one-hundred-dollar bill and asked “Who wants this?” Hands shot up in the audience and many people leaned forward to see who Jack would choose. But I ran up to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply act and create what we want!”

After the talk, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mails sharing my views and dream. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragements such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mailing Jack.

A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had the idea that I would get in touch with Jack again. I e-mailed him several times but got no response. As I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: what was I doing? Was I waiting for the prize of life? I knew I need to do something about all this waiting. I was going to write a book, which I would call Waiting for Jack.

It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. Then I wrote and rewrote. Even though I had great difficulty, I did it anyway. Fortunately, three years later, Waiting for Jack turned out a best-seller on Amazon!

We all have a “Jack”---whether it’s person, a place, a time or some certain thing. Now I would like to ask you: what are you waiting for?

1.From the first paragraph we can learn that the author________.

A. wanted Jack to autograph her book

B. wanted to be as successful as Jack

C. wanted to make friends with Jack

D. wanted to get help from Jack

2.It can be inferred form the passage that Jack Canfield is probably a person who________.

A. never replies e-mail

It was a rainy day and I was walking down the street feeling comfortable and happy. I wanted to do something kind for someone else without any reason and purpose, almost as if I was just trying to spread the abundance (充足) of love I was receiving. It was then that I saw a teenage girl dressed in tattered clothes, getting soaked(湿透). She wasn't wearing any shoes or socks. The rain wet her skin through the holes in her clothes and she was making her way through the garbage, trying to find something that would be of use to her.

I walked towards her and told her to wait for me there while I ran home to get her something. On getting home, I took off my shoes, which I really loved, wrapped them up in a plastic cover and ran to give them to the teenage girl on the street.

The girl looked surprised as if she was not used to this kind of kindness. She thanked me in a trembling (颤抖的) voice.

A famous musician who lives down the street corner stopped his car and smiled when he saw what happened. The two watchmen who saw me do this talked and gave me friendly looks.

Although I had to wear my dad's shoes, I was satisfied even if they were a bit large for my feet, because I knew the girl would walk comfortably wearing the shoes. That day I learned that letting go off the little things we own can be a big help to others.

1.What does the underlined word ''tattered'' in the first paragraph probably mean?

A.Old and torn. B.Large and new.

C.Colorless and small. D.Thick and old.

2.In the passage, we are told that _______.

A.the author liked going down streets on rainy days

B.the author liked walking in her father's shoes

C.nobody wanted to help the poor girl

D.the author was very kind-hearted

A.They were laughing at the author. B.They thought what the author did was right.

C.They also wanted to help the poor girl. D.They were curious about what the author did.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.It is important to get others' praise. B.It is no use giving things to others.

With my seat belt undone, Jared then hit open the driver’s window to drag me out as I had still not regained consciousness (意识). He bravely did this while my car and the tree were burning. Woken by the crash, the homeowners came out to investigate. Jared told them to ring emergency services. I was rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a serious condition. I eventually woke up a day later.

I owe my life to Jared and I consider him a friend due to the special bound. Jared says that although the events of that night initially shocked him, he never once hesitated to help. In addition, he doesn’t believe that he did anything special.
