第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
On Thursday night my two adult children took us out to dinner as our daughter lives in Bathurst and she will be there for Father’s Day with her husband’s side of the family.Two of our grandchildren were able to join us.
Having pre-celebrated my Father’s Day and it being on our minds,my wife asked this question only this morning:
“Do you remember anything about your father ”
While this subject had come up before,however,the question had not been put so bluntly(直率地).I answered “No.My only memory is of the few photos outside.” You see,my father died when I was only four years old.
Many people have lost their father early in life and it is easy to feel somewhat sorry for having to deal with such a situation,especially when the death has occurred when you are at an early age.On reflection,I think I do not remember anything because he passed away when he was a member of the Royal Australian Air Force.He was a Corporal(下士) doing land based duties,however,a medical condition took his life.It was 1942.
The 2nd World War was in full battle and Australia was being attacked.My mum and I with my younger brother,were living with my grandparents and I can only imagine the emotional circumstances that existed in the household at that time.Probably not something that would leave a memory.
What I would like to say at this time,as the question is often asked,“What did you learn from your father ” The thing I learnt from his passing,at the age of 28,is a love of life.What I do remember is growing up wondering if I would live to his age,and after I did,thinking each year the bonus(津贴) of life I had been blessed with when compared to my father.
I have sometimes felt disappointment in not knowing my father but life has moved on.However,can I say to those who do have fathers,celebrate today with him and return him all the love and happiness he has given to you.

Amelia Earhart was born on July 24,1897,in Atchison,Kansas.She was the elder of Edwin Stanton and Amy Otis Earhart’s two daughters.Childhood was not happy for the two bright sisters.Their father was an alcoholic(酒鬼) and lost jobs often.The family traveled a great deal.
The girls often recited poetry while doing their chores but also loved sports,including basketball and tennis.Their parents encouraged them to try new things.
During the war Amelia worked as a military nurse in Canada and later she became a social worker and taught English to immigrant children.Besides work,Amelia had one hobby.She enjoyed watching airplane stunt(特技) shows,which were popular in the 1920s.Then one day she took a 10-minute plane ride and knew what her vocation would be.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all have days,or even weeks,on the job when our productivity declines.But if your output has been steadily decreasing,it could be because you’re wasting time rather than focusing on key tasks at hand.　1　
Turn off your cellphone
If you’re eager to stop wasting time at the office,silence your cellphone.　2　Turn on your phone only during breaks.
Organize your calendar
It’s easy to waste time when you don’t have a preset schedule outlining your days at work.But if you’re guilty of not maximizing your time at the office,it’ll help to create a daily calendar with blocks of time for various tasks.
Organize your space
　3　If your desk is in a mess,carve out some time to get it organized.Throw away papers you don’t need,file essential documents in some sort of order,and make your supplies more accessible.
Build in breaks
Sometimes we waste time at work by talking to colleagues,checking text messages,or surfing the Internet because our minds need a break from the constant work.If that sounds like you,then you’d better schedule some breaks during the day.　4　
The more time you waste at work,the more your manager and peers are likely to take notice—and that’s a good way to hurt your reputation and put your job at risk.　5　Doing so might save you from a busy night.
A.Ask your manager for permission to use his office.
B.Here are a few steps you can take to stop wasting time at work.
C.Instead,clean up your act and keep searching for ways to be more efficient.

Why We Should Be Thankful
Not everyone gets to have the same things that we have.In fact,people all around the world don’t have the means to celebrate any holidays,with much less food to feast on.Everyone should be happy for everything they get.Most people are thankful...but notice why I say most.
The one person who wants more and more is little Ricky.He’s never understood what it is to share.Let’s pay him a visit,shall we,as we make our way to little old Canada—all the way down to Maple Street and to the nice house that little Ricky lives in.As we move closer,you can hear the yells and screams of little Ricky not getting what he wants.
“But Mommy,I want the new robot toy!I want it,I want it!”Ricky yelled.A television commercial was on,showing the“MR DESTRUCTOR $500”with its all new talking features.He wanted it,he had to have it,and he would.
“Ricky,no,”said his mom.“You already have enough toys...but tell you how.If you can donate some of your toys to the less fortunate kids,then you can get a new toy,okay ”Ricky’s mom was always worried about her son’s greed.
Little Ricky was confused—he didn’t understand what his mommy was saying.
“Mommy,what is donation ”Ricky had never heard about that.
“Well,it’s when we gather up all of the toys that you don’t want anymore,and we go to a homeless shelter or an orphanage and give the little boys and girls the toys.We share with them because they don’t have enough money.”Ricky’s mom sure did hope that her son understood what she was telling him.
But little Ricky was still confused.Why didn’t the little boys and girls have all the stuff he had Ricky smiled at his mom and went running to his toy room.He began to sort through all of his old toys until he had a big stack.
Paragraph 1:
“Mommy,mommy!Come on,let’s go to give all the kids my toys!”Ricky was excited.
Paragraph 2:
On the way home,Ricky started to cry.

Paragraph 1:
“Mommy,mommy!Come on,let’s go to give all the kids my toys!”Ricky was excited.
They arrived at a homeless shelter.As Ricky stepped inside,he was heart-broken.What he saw were crowds of little boys and girls getting food,but only little of it.Ricky thought of the food that he threw away during dinner.Ricky helped mommy give out his toys to these less fortunate kids,who said,“Thank you.”when receiving toys.
Paragraph 2:
On the way home,Ricky started to cry.“Ricky,what’s wrong ”his mom asked,“Why are you crying ”“Mommy,I felt bad because these kids don’t have everything I have.I can get what I want,but they are poor and have no money.”Mommy was happy that Ricky understood what it felt like to give to others and the meaning of donation,especially that it is not good to want everything and then just throw them away.Ricky learned that we should be thankful for what we have already had.
