It was pouring outside. We all stood there  21 , some patiently, others annoyed   22  nature messed （弄糟）their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens   23  away the dirt and dust of the world.  
“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice    24   me .
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it   25 down a bit,” Mom replied.
The young girl waited about another minute and   26 : “Mom, let’s run through the
rain .”
“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No , we won’t , Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said 
as she  27     her  Mom’s arm .
“This morning?  28  did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said ,” If God can get us through this , he can get us through  29  .”
The entire crowd turned   30  . Mom paused and thought for a moment about   31 
she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being  32 . But then we heard, 
“Honey, you are   33. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,”
Mom said. Then   34 they ran.
We all stood   35 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were  36  by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the  37  to their cars. Circumstances （境況）or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your  38 . But no one can ever take away your precious  39 . So, don’t forget to make time and take the  40  to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

小題1:B。外面下雨了，人們都在躲雨，等候雨停。下文母親的話“We’ll wait until...”也給出了提示。從后半句看，一些人耐心，一些人有些惱怒，所以不能說大家都在抱怨。
小題2:C。別的人惱怒，當(dāng)然因為大自然的突然降雨打亂了他們正常的工作生活節(jié)奏。
小題3:D。雨水沖刷走了世界上的塵土和臟物。
小題4:A。catch me相當(dāng)于catch my attention，“引起了我的注意力”，因為此前我正沉醉于雨水帶來的感受中。并沒有讓我惱怒，也談不上給我留下了很深的印象。
小題5:A。slow down指雨下得緩和一點，不能說stop a bit，停止不存在程度上的一點。小題6:B。此句話和前面說的話一樣，所以是重復(fù)了一遍。
小題7:A。小孩子想讓母親一起在雨中走，而母親又沒有答應(yīng)，所以孩子要拉著母親的手往外走。
小題8:C。從女兒的回答“When you were talking ...”可知母親是問小孩自己是什么時候說那話的。
小題9:C。如果上帝能讓小孩的父親度過這一難關(guān)，則能讓他們度過任何“難關(guān)”。
小題10:B。still一動不動；silent沉默，不出聲。對于小孩的這一天真美好的愿望，大家顯然都事先沒有想到，所以都在沉默，并靜觀下面事情的發(fā)展。
小題11:A。what引導(dǎo)賓語從句，what在句中充當(dāng)say的賓語，母親在考慮要和女兒怎么說。
小題12:B。母親知道，孩子說出的話，在一些人看來肯定會是有點傻的，因為上帝是不存在的，這種愿望只是一種幻想。dishonest不誠實的，欺騙的。孩子的說法是一種美好愿望，當(dāng)然算不上是欺騙。
小題13:A。母親不愿破壞孩子的童真，所以表示贊同“你是對的”，是肯定孩子的話就是自己講過的話，而不是說孩子聰明。
小題14:A。run off跑開。此處強調(diào)off，故把這個詞提前。
小題15:D。上文的silent以及下文的smiling，laughing可以看出母女的行為已引起了人們的關(guān)注，他們都在看著母女倆在雨中跑。
小題16:A。從定語從句可知，母女的行為也感染了其他的人，又有幾個人也加入她們的行列，在雨中奔跑。follow跟著。
小題17:B。all the way一路上。way和后面的to搭配。這幾個人一邊跑一邊又叫又笑，很興奮。
小題18:C。母女的美好愿望是源于小孩的父親得癌癥了，所以說境況可以帶走人們的健康。
小題19:B。從下文“… make memories every day!”可知，自己創(chuàng)造的美好記憶是不會被帶走的。
小題20:B。take the chance / opportunities to do …抓住機會做某事，為固定搭配。該句的意思是“抓住創(chuàng)造美好記憶的機會

Its beauty touched my soul. Many times, I thought to take photos but never did. Then, I had to leave in a hurry. Later in life, it became a great regret that I had not done so.

  The whole morning we just checked our own things. We were looking for items to give away. We thought of blankets, food and clothing. Our aim was not to find things we no longer wanted, but things we use every day and would be useful to others.
We made up boxes with the things and added some small toys. Inside the boxes a simple letter was placed, reading:
“Please take these items and know that your life is important. Times are difficult but they will pass. We share what we have, believing it will matter. Use the blanket to stay warm. Be safe and know that the human spirit can overcome anything. Don’t hold your head down. Someday please do the same when you can. How you do it and when, your heart will tell you.
This kind act was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was simply because it was the right time to do. We have often seen homeless people at the park where we left the belongings. The city would say that it isn’t a problem but I see the lives walking to and from it.
I noticed that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was sure about it and she simply replied that it had a hood (風(fēng)帽). She liked the coat but knew the hood could shelter (遮擋)someone from the rain.
We don’t know where these gifts of compassion（同情）will go. We never go back and see what happens. It’s unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that counts. On the way my wife started to cry. When I asked why, she said because some things felt so right.
小題1:What can we learn from the first paragraph about the couple？
A．They had deep feelings of their work
B．They often threw the useless daily items away
C．They liked helping others by sharing their things

小題2:The couple placed the letter inside the box mainly to_______________.
A．help the poor go through the difficulties
B．let the poor know who gave away the things

小題3:The couple liked this kind act because _______.
A．they thought it was the right thing to do

When many of us take a vacation, more than anything, we seek to relax. We spend long, lazy days on a beach chair or in a hammock(吊床). But too often, we return home, tired.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
In fact active vacations are often the most relaxing of all. We don’t expect you to take up jogging(慢跑), or climbing. Rather, we ask the sedentary(久坐的) vacations among you to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking in the city street, going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.
These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health, even your spiritual health. Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.
A walk at dawn or dusk helps keep you young. Try to make this a daily habit of life when you’re away from home, and you will guarantee yourself both physical and spiritual refreshment.
Don’t allow yourself to spend all your time sitting in front of water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games, or even walking. Merely standing in waist-high water is a good workout, thanks to the action of the water. And you’ll feel so much more active!
Many of us spend a large chunk of our vacation on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations don’t happen in a car seat. Frequently get out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun. It’s important for your health and energy, and it makes traveling a lot more active and interesting
小題1: The idea in the text is mainly to _______.
A．suggest ways to make vacations relaxing
B．suggest places for relaxing vacations
C．explain the reasons for having vacations
D．explain the relationship between vacations and health
小題2: Which of the following can be considered as a form of exercise?
A．Sitting by a lake.B．Standing in water.
C．Staying in a car.D．Enjoying beautiful scenery.
小題3:In the last paragraph, the author seems to advise us to _______.
A．have vacations frequentlyB．get out of the car frequently
C．go on vacations on footD．stay in a car seat

If you are a 30-plus plain Jane, or if you are not a local fresh graduate, get ready for the embarrassment(尷尬) in the job market. And you are just one of the millions to face discrimination（歧視）.
About 85 percent of the 3,424 people covered by a survey in 10 big cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, said discrimination in work and employment（就業(yè)） did exist. Also, the survey results given on Friday showed that 58 percent thought the problem to be severe（嚴重）.
Appearance, height and gender are the most discriminative categories（范疇）, the Beijing Morning Post reported.
Some requirements could be funny. The newspaper said Beijing citizen Zhang Meng, who had more than 10 years’ driving experience, failed to get a job because his possible employers considered his name to be “unlucky”.
“Meng”, they said, literally(字面上)means “rush” in Chinese, which made him more accident prone（傾向）than others.
Employers discriminate against people from certain regions or areas, such as Central China’s Henan Province, because of the bad impression they have about them. Beijing citizens, too, have their share of bad luck because they are generally considered lazy.
Cai Dingjian, a professor from China University of Political Science and Law, who headed the survey, said such requirements, which are not connected with the job itself, violate（侵犯）people’s equal right to look for a career. “It violates basic human rights,” he said to the newspaper.
Cai said governments should pay attention to such discriminations because they exist not only in companies, but are also practiced by them. One example is that civil servants(公務(wù)員) are usually required to have a pleasant personality.
Director of the labour law committee under the All China Lawyers Association
Jiang Junlu said the lack of related laws was at the root of all discriminations.
46. Zhang Meng failed to get a job because __________.
A. he had made more mistakes than others
B. he lacked driving experience
C. he was considered to have an unlucky name
D. he couldn’t find a pleasant employer
47. What is people’s response to discrimination in job market?
A. They think it is unfair but necessary due to the large population of China.
B. It does exist in certain regions, but is not so serious.
C. Something must be done to stop it by governments.
D. It is a local problem and isn’t worth much concern.
48. What can be an effective way to fight against discrimination according to the passage?
A. To fine companies which practice discrimination.
B. To make laws related to discrimination.
C. To stop more people moving into cities.
D. To train people those who are poor in skills.
49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Discrimination not only exists in companies, but also in governments.
B. Employers nowadays concern more about appearance, height and gender.
C. People in Beijing will never worry about experiencing discrimination.
D. Requirements connected with the job itself should have been put in the first place.
