Before I knew it, the  6 was full of people. I moved slowly,   7 every step. I remember how  8  I was when I saw the tray stand near the tables, it looked different from the one I was  9  on. It had nice handles (手柄)，which made it  10   to move around. I was pleased with everything and began to  11  I was a natural at this job.

At first his   16 did not get across. “What was he talking about!” Then I got it. I had set my trays on his wife’s orthopedic walker (助步器). I stood frozen as ice, but my face was  17 . I wanted to get into a hole and  18 .
Since then, I have learned from many mistakes such as the one I just   19  , I have learned to be more  20 and not to be too sure of myself.

小題1:前文說(shuō)在飯店找到一份工作，后文出現(xiàn)了carry the heavy trays (托盤)，可以可知“我”是在和有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的服務(wù)員一起干。
小題2:該句前面提到跟隨一位有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的服務(wù)員干了幾天，所以就允許自己獨(dú)自為顧客服務(wù)了。其它幾個(gè)動(dòng)詞不符合語(yǔ)境意思。
小題3:從下文來(lái)看，周日那幾天All went well that first week.“一切都很順利。”只是在周末出了一點(diǎn)小狀況。

In some remote Turkish village of Kuskoy, whistling is as important as talking．In fact, whistling is talking because the villagers speak and sing by whistling．Kuskoy parents begin to teach their boys and girls the language of whistling about the time the children learn to talk．It is considered so important that the village school includes it as one of the subjects taught along with the Turkish language.
This art of communication has taken centuries to develop．The village of Kuskoy spreads out across two hillsides that are separated by a deep valley．The villagers had to find an easy way to communicate where their voices couldn’t carry．They developed a high-pitched (高音的) whistle language that could be transmitted as far as five miles through air．As a result, Kuskoy, which means “bird village” in Turkish, has come to be known as a whistler’s paradise (樂(lè)園).
Whistling is so much part of everyday life in Kuskoy that men and women speak, argue, and court (求愛(ài)) in whistles．The story was recently told of a young couple who ran away secretly．The news was sent over the “mountain telephone” by whistling．The lover’s adventure was quickly known to all the villagers.
It is little wonder, then, that the children of Kuskoy study whistling in school．Wouldn’t it be fun to start the school day with a song—whistled of course!
小題1:The children of Kuskoy learn to whistle because __          _．
A．it is funB．it is an important way to communicate
C．it helps them learn to singD．it is like the Turkish language
小題2:In Kuskoy, whistling as a way of talking started __             _．
A．recentlyB．hundreds of years ago
C．fifty years agoD．ten years ago
小題3:Which one of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．The high-pitched whistle can be heard at a distance of 5 km.
B．The parents were too ready to allow the young couple to marry each other.
C．The villagers found an easy way to communicate where they could be heard.
D．The villagers of Kuskoy are often informed of news by whistling.

Everyone has good days and bad days.
Sometimes, you feel as if you’re on top of the world. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.
For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem (自尊) is the key to success. Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.
“Forget about self-esteem,” says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist (心理學(xué)家) at the University of Michigan, US. “It’s not the important thing.”
Feeling good
Crocker’s advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.
Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.
But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.
He believes that violent and wicked people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said: “There’s no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”
Problems
All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos (自我) that can make them less likeable to their peers(同齡人), said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.
People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.
What to do
Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something try to learn from the experience. “The best therapy (藥方) is to recognize your faults,” Vohs says. “It’s OK to say, ‘I’m not so good at that,’ and then move on.”
小題1:The new research comes to the conclusion that high self-esteem ________.
A．is not important at allB．has taken on a different meaning
C．may not be the key to successD．does not help you do better at school
小題2:One of the conclusions of the new research is that ________.
A．feeling good about oneself doesn’t mean you lead a happier life
B．people with high esteem usually do not seek other’s help
C．people with high esteem tend to be proud
D．people with low esteem are often more popular
小題3:The underlined part “a better person” in the passage probably means a person who is ________.
A．helpful and supportiveB．gentle and modest
C．likable and successfulD．friendly and kind
小題4:From the text, we can infer the best therapy mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for people ________.
A．with high self-esteemB．with low self-esteem
C．of all kindsD．who are focusing on building self-esteem

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. It seems as if a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this means your troubles are beginning. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the table-cloth off the table, destroying your prepared meal. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if these were not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.
Things can go wrong on-a number of people on the road. During the rush hour one evening, two cars hit each other and both drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly went into a panic and stopped her car. This made the driver following her stop suddenly. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road’. Seeing a cake-flying through the air, a truck driver had to stop his truck all of a sudden. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck and fell onto the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic to move again. In the meanwhile, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves from the accident; for they were happily having what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days.

At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites(地點(diǎn)) for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.
The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.
The real attractiong of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded(相鄰) on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition fo the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apples trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t thing I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted (無(wú)牽掛的). It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.
小題1:What do we know about the author?
A．He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.
B．He made a study of many farms before buying.
C．He made money by buying and selling farms.

小題2:Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place?
A．It was of good market value.
B．It was next to the highway.
C．It was in a good position.
D．It was behind a nice garden.
小題3:Why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry?
A．He was afraid the owner might changes his mind.
B．He hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm.
C．He wanted to keep the farm as it was.
D．He was eager to become a farm owner.
小題4:The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refer to ___.
A．the money the author lost in buying the farm

In many ways, our society doesn’t simply prepare for the kinds of lives that the elderly must lead. We have made medical advances that allow people to live longer than ever before, but we do not seem to know what to do with them after we have saved their lives. Too little allowance (津貼) is made for the person who is no longer earning a living, who can not walk long distances or drive a car, or who may have physical or mental disabilities that keep him from communicating with others. The institutional (慈善機(jī)構(gòu)的) care we give our older people is a good reflection of the overall attitude of our society toward the aged.
In the past few years, nursing homes have received wide attention as boring, meaningless places where old people often have little else to do but wait for the end of their lives. Elderly wards in mental hospitals are even worse. One of the most shocking things abort nursing homes has been the unwillingness of people on the outside to show real concern for what happens in these institutions. Even people who are entrusting (委托) a parent to the care of a home rarely ask about the nurse-parent ratio (比率), about the kinds of creative facilities or physical treatment equipment available, or about the frequency of doctors’ visits.
And the government has provided federal money without enforcing high standards of care. In fact federal standards were lowered in 1974. Therefore, in some sense our concern for the aged seems to be moving backwards, not forwards. This picture is in striking contrast to the treatment of respectable patriarchs (男長(zhǎng)者) and matriarchs (女長(zhǎng)者) in many societies.
1. What would be the most suitable title for this passage?
A. Failure of Care for the Elderly                   B. The Elderly
C. Institutional Care                            D. A National Shame
2. We can conclude from this passage that the writer feels ____.
A. nursing homes should be got rid of
B. a country that can help people live longer should also be able to care for them better
C. people have no thanks toward their parents
D. our society’s institutions need to be reformed
3. The writer believes that people who place a parent in a nursing home should ____.
A. demand higher federal standards
B. consider the example set in other countries
C. be ashamed of not keeping the parents in their own homes
D. investigate it first
4. The writer complains ____.
A. about the indifference of some people towards nursing homes
B. about the shortage of equipment in nursing home
C. that nursing homes keep the aged from communicating with others
D. both A and B
