A
I spotted (发现;认出) hi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m at the checkout counter, bagging at No.14. His arms shook violently as he placed a box of eggs into a plastic bag. He wore a name card upon which he had wiritten “Jerry” in kindergarten handwriting. He looked middle-aged but his mental age must have been about 12.
Ever since I smiled a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t him the first time he bagged my groceries at my local supermarket, Jerry has followed me around like an adoring fan. His lack of boundaries makes me uncomfortable. I don’t know how to avoid being noticed by him. I don’t want to speak to the manager — my complaint could get him fired. So I started avoiding him.
I can still remember the hurt I felt when I was 10 and our neighbor Mrs. Ward didn’t respond when I said hello with David and Diane. Instead, she hurried out of the supermarket, leaving me holding my brother and sister’s hands. I realized at that moment that I hated Mrs. Ward’s reaction. Why, then, years later, was I acting as she had
I picked up a magazin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Real Simple. The beautiful photos did nothing to straighten out the guilt in me. I was being ridiculous. The last three times I have seen Jerry, I rushed. There are other stores, but I chose this one because it employs people with disabilities. I want people like my brothers to have jobs. I don’t want them to be ignored, the way I am avoiding Jerry.

C
Driving to a frien ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftop. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it is that most city people --- myself included --- usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )so seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
I know the feelin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.
Today our live ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have television, cell phones, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.
Struggling thro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ugh traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touched the moon.”
9. The best title for the passage would be _________.
A. Touched by the Moon B. Break away from Modern life
C. A Bottomless well of Silence D. The Pleasures of Modern Life
10. The writer felt sorry for himself because __________.
A. there was too mu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ch pollution. B. he failed to see the fullest moon.
C. he didn’t a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dapt to modern inventions D. there were too many accidents on the road.
11. Modern things are mentioned mainly to ___________.
A. show that the writer likes city life very much.
B. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life.
C. explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature.
D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them.
12. The author wrote the passage to __________.
A. show the l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ove for the moonlight. B. want to communicate longing for modern life.
C. advise modern peop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le to learn to live. D. express the feeling of returning to nature.
D
When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence．
People naturally have different levels of confidence．Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals．Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals．
One of the many places ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace． We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise．This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities．After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do
Even if you are not as ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )king for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success．If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do．
Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job．If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing(裁员)．After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team．
Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve．Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence．
13．What is the passage mainly about
A．The influenc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e of confidence on one's life． B．The difference of people's confidence．．
C．The judgment o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n one's confidence． D．The importance of confidence to success
14．Psychologists and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )other professionals can offer help to those ______．
A．who think their g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oals are hard to reach B．who expect to give guidance to others
C．who want to ask ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the boss for a raise D．who dream to be recognized experts
15．What does the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) underlined word "indispensable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．outgoing B．important C．attractive D．energetic

作文范文：
Recently, all the Engl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ish Club members in our school have had a heated discussion about whether pets should be allowed into parks. Opinions are divided on the question.
Some are in f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )avour of the idea. They think pets can enjoy themselves by playing happily and freely in parks and can live peacefully with human beings.
Others don’t agree. They think some pets are dangerous. And the news of dogs attacking people appears from time to time. Besides, pets may poop here and there, which may harm the environment. And some pets may even carry viruses or diseases.
In my opinio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n, pets can play in parks but only if their owners take effective measures to make sure they don’t harm others and the environment.
