A few years ago, my husband and I were on an island for a week with our two little daughters. As we talked about what to do next, our daughters jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do. We agreed.
As soon as we walked into the main area of Butterfly Museum, we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies. They all flew with their colorful wings. My girls were jumping up and down. And I knew we had made the right decision to come to the museum. They were having so much fun.
I turned to our guide and asked curiously，“How long do butterflies live?”she said, “About ten days.”
"What can butterflies do in ten days?”
The guide stopped, looked at me and said, “They make the world a more beautiful place.”
After we said goodbye, I couldn't stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something to offer the world. If we all spend time doing what we can do for others, we can make the world a better place.
1.What did the girls want to do？
A. Go to visit an island. B. Visit Butterfly Museum.
C. Listen to the guide. D. Make the world beautiful.
2.What made the writer think they had made the right decision？

Three weeks ago, we were living paycheck to paycheck. We survived on my husband’s low-paid job and my disability. We have kids. Also, I was experiencing a terrible tumor (肿瘤)on my neck, leaving me staying in bed in extreme pain, but the operation was to be $8,000, out of pocket, because Medicare only covers 80%.
To take me to the hospital, my husband took a day off work. At 7 am, his boss called. He was being placed on paid leaving, waiting for an investigation into a mistake he had made at work.
We both panicked. Having slowly worked our way out of poverty (贫穷) for 8 years, we were so close to being OK and it was ail falling away. As my husband was a great worker, we decided to stay positive and hope for the best. However, two days later he received the official phone call-he was fired.
Having no savings to pay bills, we cried hopelessly. We went to the welfare office only to be told that he couldn’t collect unemployment for 8 weeks, meaning he had the possibility of having $0 income for two months. It was terrifying.
With only enough food to last for about a week, we applied for food stamps and Medicaid. Then we worked together- diving into job applications. After sending out resumes (简历)to everywhere in the field, he came across some promising companies. We kept our fingers crossed. Hopefully, we could get out of trouble as early as possible.
Soon I got a phone call-my neck operation was going to be free now that we were poor again. And my husband got an email invitation for a video interview and it went great. He would be paid $3 more an hour than his last job. What a roller coaster ride!
1.What was the family like before the husband got fired?
A.They showed little concern for each other.
B.They lived in an extremely poor area.
C.They could hardly make ends meet.
D.They led a rich and comfortable life.
2.Why did the boss call the husband?
A.To ask him about the truth. B.To tell him about a decision.
C.To persuade him to quit his job. D.To warn him to mind his work attitude.
3.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A.We were uncertain about our future. B.We waited hopelessly.
C.We felt more and more nervous. D.We wished ourselves good luck
4.What life lesson has the author learned from her experience?
A.Many hands make light work.
B.Actions speak louder than words.
C.When one door shuts, another opens.
D.One false step makes a great difference.

We were moving to a new state after my husband had been out of work for many months and we had no money. In fact, we had to borrow money to reach our destination town. Anyway, it was my husband, two boys aged four and two, and myself, seven months pregnant (怀孕), in an old Volvo station wagon. We had been driving for two days in the middle of winter (that car’s heater didn’t work), and we had taken a route that was very desolate. There was nothing around for miles－no cars, buildings or signs of civilization. Suddenly, our car started losing power and the gauges(汽油表) went all out of order. We saw a light in the distance and managed to roll to a stop in front of this property that looked like a small simple house. Our cell phones had not gotten reception for many miles, and it was freezing outside, so I didn’t know if we were going to make it out of this situation alive. My husband got out of the car to see if there was something he could do to get us rolling again, but it was not looking good. A short while later, a man came out of the house and spoke with my husband a bit before inviting us all into his home. He and his wife took us in, fed us, and made us feel at home as we struggled to find some way to get to our destination, which was still a few hours’ drive away. We were able to call a friend and get a ride, leaving our broken car behind, but not before the couple gave us food and water for our journey. One week later, this dear sweet couple pulled our car all the way to our place and refused to take anything in return, except for us to pay it forward－and we have, and will continue to do it forever.

I want to let you know about an event that changed my life many years ago. We were living in College Station, Texas and my wife and I were on our way home from Houston, Texas one Sunday morning. We decided to stop at a local gas station to get something to eat since we had enough time.
When we finished, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a homeless man standing in front of the building. His clothes were worn and it looked as if he didn’t have any money. It was cold and I was sure he wanted something to drink. However, it was not this that moved(感动) me.
A dog was also walking up to the front of the building. Being a dog lover, I noticed that the dog was a mother and that she had just had some puppies(小狗). She was hungry and weak and I felt so bad for her. I knew if she didn’t eat soon, she and her puppies would not live on.
People walking by didn’t even notice her. She might not have been as pretty and clean as most, but she still deserved(值得) better. But we still did not do anything, someone else did. The homeless man, who I thought could not afford anything to eat, went back into a store and bought dog food with all the money he had.
I know that this story isn’t as inspirational as most stories, but it plays a great part in our lives. You see, that was Mother’s Day weekend. And a lot of people forget that some animals are parents too.

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.

We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago，when right outside of the city, we got pulled over(被迫停车). A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. He said, “ You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?” Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. Then his way towards us totally changed. He asked, “Oh, so you boys are in a band(乐队)?” We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played and how long we had been at it.
Suddenly, he stopped and said, “Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don’t you?” Tim said, “Yes.” So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn’t know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Then the policeman put Tim in the back of the police car and threw the car into reverse(倒车), stopping a few feet in back of our car.
Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn’t know if we were all going to prison. Suddenly, the policeman’s voice came over in a loudspeaker. He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” Later we knew, the policeman had told Tim that if he sang one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car, we would get out of the ticket. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket.
1.Why did the policeman stop the boys?
A. Because they drove too fast.
B. Because they were late for their show.
C. Because they didn’t see the policeman.
D. Because they had to answer the band questions.
2.The policeman became friendly to the boys when he knew they __________.
A. were famous singers B. were driving for a show
C. didn’t break the traffic rules D. promised him a performance
3.The underlined word “ticket” in paragraph 2 means “a piece of paper that __________.”
