A
Henry and I were shopping in a neighborhood market. Henry was busy weighing each new bag of vegetables I selected. I gave him a bag of potatoes and he walked over to the scale and waited in line. Suddenly, a man rushed over from behind, and stepped before him, hitting him out of the way. Henry looked shocked and scared. Seeing this I left my shopping cart and walked over to Henry, saying loudly, “Are you OK, honey? I saw what that man did to you. That was very, very wrong.”
When the man finished weighing his bag, his sudden turning around made all his onions fall to the ground. The three of us stood there, frozen for a moment. And then I bent down on my hands and knees and started collecting onions. After I handed the onions to the man, he accepted them and put them into his bag. After Henry and I picked up all the onions, the man walked away without saying anything. We didn’t discuss the event until we got back in the car.
On the way back home, Henry said through tears, “Mommy, I’ve a frustrating day. That man cut right in front of me. And we had to help him pick up his onions! Why did we do that? That didn’t make any sense!”
I took a deep breath and said, “Henry, that man seemed to have a very bad mood today. We should forgive him. I was also angry with the man for treating you rudely. I really wanted to kick him. But doing that doesn’t make any sense. If we hadn’t helped him, we might have felt good for a moment, but then I bet we would have felt really sorry for a long time. You and I have a lot of love to share. Maybe that man doesn’t have much. People who behave badly still need love.”
A cheerful smile appeared on Henry’s face. It was a smile of promise kept. It was the best smile I had ever seen. It was a good moment. It may have been my best mommy moment ever.
1. What did the man do?
A. He cut in the line. B. He hit Henry on the head.
C. He hurried away without paying. D. He ran into Henry suddenly.
2. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The author was not angry at all with what the man had done.
B. The man was very sorry for what he had done to Henry.
C. At last, Henry learned a very valuable life lesson from the event.
D. Henry didn’t help the author pick up the onions for the man.
3. Which of the following word can best describe the author?
A. Narrow-minded. B. Broad-minded.

If Confucius(孔子) were alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But that doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
4. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _______.
A. attract the readers’ interest in the subject
B. provide some key facts about Confucius
C. show great respect for the ancient thinker
D. prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
5. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students _______.
A. take an active part in Chinese competitions
B. try to get high scores in Chinese exams
C. fight for a chance to learn Chinese
D. have a great interest in studying Chinese
6. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Forgoten Wisdom int America.
B. Huge Fans of the Chinese Language.
C. Old Thinker with a Big Future.
D. Chinese Culture for Westerners.
7. The passage is likely to appear in ______.
A. a biography B. a history paper
C. a newspaper D. a philosophy textbook

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills began to be used in the ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radios. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.
12. From the text we know that windmills _______.
A. were invented by European armies
B. have a history of more than 2,800 years
C. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered
D. used to supply power to radio in remote area
13. The underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably means________.
A. making something cleaner
B. making something flow freely
C. making something flow in a particular direction
D. making something into small parts
14. One of the reasons wind was discovered in the 1970s is that_______.
A. it is one of the oldest power sources
B. wind power is cleaner
C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D. coal and gas failed to meet the needs
15. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. The global trend towards producing power from wind.
B. The design of wind power plants.
C. The worldwide movement to save energy.
D. The advantages of wind power.

When he was a little boy, Christopher Cockerell once noticed his mother turning the wheel of her sewing machine with her hand. “Won’t it work quickly if a machine 41 (turn) the wheel for you?” he asked. “I suppose it will.” said his mother, without paying any attention to him. Christopher knew she always had a lot of work and that she was 42 stubborn that he could hardly do anything to change 43 mind. But he wanted to help. In his bedroom there was a toy steam engine 44 (buy) by his father as a gift to him. “I will make better use of it,” little Christopher said to himself. So, when his mother was not using her sewing machine, he decided to fix the toy steam engine onto it. When he finished 45 (do) it, he was quite pleased, thinking his mother would like it. “Very clever,” his mother said when she saw it. But then she sat down and went on turning the wheel 46 hand. “I 47 (work) like this for too many years,” she explained. Christopher felt very 48 (disappoint). He couldn’t understand his mother’s 49 (behave).
This teaches Christopher a lesson that anyone 50 tries to improve anything has to learn: many people don’t like new ideas.

During the weekend, I travelled on a plane the first time in my life. I generally travel by train and bus, which is both very cheaper and safer. But that was a long journey, about hundreds of kilometers far away from our city. In the beginning, I didn’t feel very happy, and this feeling didn’t last long. The ride on the plane then is of great excitement. I was soon highly up in the air among the cloud. The views of mountains, fields and rivers were very amazed. I enjoyed my comfortable journey a lot. This experience has shown that travelling in air is actually the safest way of make journeys.

We're throwing a surprise party for Xiaoming's birthday. We'd like to invite you to the party. We want to give him a surprise, so please keep quiet about it. We'll gather at the Students' Club at 8 pm this Friday, after the evening classes. And it's going to last about an hour. We each will prepare a little present.
