A.
Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there was a lot of antique（古董）shops near my home. So I left home one morning, carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop, expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man didn't even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth ---so I decided that my approach(way) must be wrong.
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair ” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir ” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that. It's nothing.”
Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it ” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I'll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean？ You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry. I'll give you twenty -seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me ’ ” “I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver(five dollars ) ” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
1. The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper ______.
A. changed his mind B. accepted the offer
C. saw the writer’s purpose D. decided to help the writer
2. How much did the writer pay for the repair
A. ￡ 5. B. ￡ 7. C. ￡ 20. D. ￡ 27.
3. From the text, we can learn that the writer was ______.
A. honest B. careful C. smart D. funny
B
Dear God,
Now that I am no longer young. I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully thanked their mothers until it was too late to tell them.
I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her devotion more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person the is. It’s sad that I am unable to say these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child For running after a toddler〔学步儿童〕, for understanding a moody teenager, and for tolerating a college student who knows everything For wailing for the day when the daughter realizes what her mother really is
How does a grown woman thank a mother for continuing to be a mother For being ready with advice when asked or remaining silent when it is needed For not saying “I told you so.〞 when she could have voiced these words dozens of times For being essentially herself－loving, thoughtful, patient and forgiving
I don’t know how to thank her, dear God, except to bless her and live up to the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine.

It was Saturday morning. I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room. I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own. I remember my own feelings when I was 13. I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, can I please have a room of my own I could use Jeff’s. He won’t mind.〞
It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a door between us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could—or should—know everything about him.
It turned out that getting Jeff’s permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.〞 Then his voice softened, “Mum, I won’t be living at home again— you know that.〞 Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no doors closed here—they had all opened up again.
As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff’s things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever. I looked at the room and, in my heart, I let it go. To hold on would be, as Jeff said, selfish. Now it was time for John, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. It was time for letting go to happen again.
8．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．John was eager to get a room of his own. B．Jeff was moving to live with his brother.
C．Jeff refused to let his brother have his room. D．Jeff volunteered to give his room to John.
9．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means “Jeff_______.〞
A．finally flew out of the house B．would have less to do with his family
C．needed his right to privacy D．got tired of those familiar stories
10．How did the author feel about his children’s sense of independence
A．Delighted. B．Confused. C．Jealous. D．Embarrassed.
11．It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A．the children did not like to live with adults
B．all her three kids made the author feel depressed
C．none of the members in the family thought the same way
D．the author loved and missed the time together with her kids
D
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind is founded in nature, such unhappy person would be the more to be pitied. the intention of criticizing (批判) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others. Nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step of speaking a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend of excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
12. People who are unhappy ________ .
A. always consider things differently from others
B. usually are affected by the results of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
13. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “________”.
A. have a good taste with social life
B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly
D. enjoy the pleasure of life
14. We can conclude from the passage that ________ .
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people can not understand happy person
15. If such unhappy person insists on keeping the habit, the author suggests people should ________ .
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

Dear Tom,
Thank you very much for your last letter which asked me something about my study and life. How’s everything going I’m now writing this letter to tell you my recent situation.
As far as I’m concerned, my school life is busy but meaningful. On the one hand, I am busy preparing for the coming exams.

In addition, my dream is to study computer science in university and become an excellent computer engineer in the future. I am sure I will realize my dream. What’s more, I just wonder if you could help me and give me some advice because I have trouble in studying English. I find it hard to study English, could you give me some advice
In a word, welcome to China and I’m glad to be your guide. I’m looking forward to receiving your letter as soon as possible.
Yours
Li Hua
