The young boy and his father sat quietly watching the snow fall on a snowy Saturday afternoon.
“Dad, my friend told me that every snowflake is      . But they look all the same to me. How can we tell?” the child asked.
Dad felt it was his     to give a more satisfying answer. “Son, snowflakes are like people. We are each      in a very special way. We can test it right now,” he said.
The child stood up, put out his hands, and     as snowflakes landed on his gloves. “These snowflakes are all different on my gloves, but those in the yard look the same. Together they are even more_   and striking. Then if people are like snowflakes, why don't they       well?”
“Choice,”Dad said. "Their choices     them what they are.”
“     choice is a bad thing?” the boy asked.
“Oh, no. Only when we choose the    things.”
“How do we tell right from wrong?" the child asked.
Dad was given the chance to build upon the foundation of his son's     . He reached down and began to     with the snow. He     the snow into two sides, three large snowballs on one side and several smaller ones on the other.
“Which side did the right thing?” he asked the boy.
The child looked at both sides but     answer. Then Dad placed the three larger snowballs on top of each other.
“It’ s a snowman! The side    made me snowman!” the boy replied with   
Yes, all these people came together and recognized how special each of them was, so they joined in a(n)     to build up mankind,” Dad said.                    
The child then stood up and     an arm full of the smaller snowballs. One by one he began to throw them at the other small piles of snow. He said,”This is what happens when people can't work together. They have a(n)     .”
Dad was shocked. He stood up, lifted the boy and     him tightly, whispering to him, “I hope that your world will learn to work and live together. I hope you will make the right      
and learn to build the best snowman ever.”

“It’s a waste of time”, I said when my mom told I had to join Madcaps, and then when she said I had to      at a homeless shelter I thought this just could not be      .
We got there late, of course, and the security guard led us to the kitchen   we ran into 48 other fellow Madcaps members. Since I’m    so socially awkward（糟糕的） I had met only one person at a pool party, earlier this year. I looked around for her but she was not there. Damn, I was    ! When the man in charge came out and asked for 3 mothers to work outside the      to clean up the plates, my mom just happened to volunteer leaving me to      food with others.
Soon the    families started to walk in and a little girl walked up and pointed to the food I was    I gave her the cold sandwich, she nodded in a form of saying      , and then walked to join her family at the large table.
As she walked away I thought of how much I       I get to go the top schools. I have a great house and I have a warm meal every night. It    that little girl to make me realize how lucky I am. After that moment I had a change of    . Now, I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting, I have       being socially awkward and now have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do      the required 20 hours of philanthropies.
I believe that if you have an    mind about things you can accomplish more and become a better rounded person. I believe sometimes you can make a difference just    doing one thing you don’t want to do .

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block. No specific in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become.
When I was a kid in New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not desperate steeplechases(障礙賽跑) they have become today. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek.
The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there was no housework that couldn’t wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, different from the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else.
Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to find that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association. In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone else’s home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall, to participating in a road race, to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel strange, which sounds like an echo from another era.
I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural feature still keeps at least remnants(殘余部分) of the moral of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries(反復(fù)無(wú)常的情況) and a challenging environment.
小題1:The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when＿＿.
A．everyone was paying a visit to some relatives far away
B．everyone seemed to be free for others
C．Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house
D．nearly every adult would go to church and children weren’t at school
小題2:In the fourth paragraph, the writer compares the response “I’m making a Sunday visit to family” to an echo from another era because_____.
A．people nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday
B．such answers are rarely heard in our modern society
C．people in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday
D．visiting someone on Sunday was routine in the past
小題3:From the last paragraph we may infer that_____.
A．people in Maine suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment
B．people in Maine have abandoned their tradition and lived an absolutely new life
C．land in Maine is short, thus the relationship between people is tense
D．people in Maine tend to help each other out of necessity
小題4:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Doing many activities on Sunday is beneficial.
B．We should often travel a long distance to visit some friends and relatives.
C．Nowadays, Sunday has almost lost its association as a day of rest.
D．We should abandon some old tradition.

An old woman had two large pots (罐), one on each end of a pole (扁擔(dān)). She carried the pole with the pots across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack (裂縫) in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered (遞送) a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.
For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection.
One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: “I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”
The old woman smiled: “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them.”
“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate (裝飾) the table. Without you being just the way you are, I would not have this beauty.”
Each of us has our own cracks. But it’s these cracks that make our lives together so interesting and meaningful.
小題1:How did the cracked pot feel about itself at first?
A．Proud.B．Happy.C．Excited.D．Ashamed.
小題2:Where were the flowers growing?
A．On both sides of the path.
B．In the woman’s house.
C．On the perfect pot’s side.

① The woman picked the flowers and decorated the table.
② The woman told the truth to the cracked pot.
③ The cracked pot talked to the woman about its crack.
④ The woman found a crack on one pot.
⑤ The woman planted some flower seeds.
A．④⑤①③②B．⑤④③②①
C．④③①②⑤D．④⑤③①②
小題4:What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
A．Never laugh at old women.
B．Imperfection makes life meaningful.
C．Try your best to be perfect in life.
D．Don’t use a cracked pot to carry water.

My family and I used to live in Belgium, and, to me, life was great. Most of my relatives and friends lived there, so there was never a      of aunts to spoil me or children to play with me.
My father is a journalist,       there wasn't much work for him in Belgium at that time. When I was eight, he        he'd found a good job in London and that we were going to move there.  I was      - I didn't realize I was leaving my friends behind and throwing myself into a different world.

I was        able to fit in, grasp the language and adapt to the culture.
Trying to fit in is my      to anyone who has just moved from the homeland. or is planning to. "Fitting in" doesn't mean completely       yourself to be someone else ,but it does mean trying to  learn the         culture and language, ,which will make your life easier.

Back when we were in college, the     thing Bill cared about was possessions. Now they seemed to be his main     . Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow, I never      Bill changing so much. My image of him      the one I had formed      the time when we were college students together.
I suppose it’s      to expect people to remain the same, especially      I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe he       the same way about me.

Nobody likes home economics (家政學(xué)). But restoring the program could help us in the fight against obesity and chronic (慢性的) diseases today.
The home economics movement was founded on the belief that housework and food preparation were important subjects that should be studied scientifically. The first classes occurred in the agricultural and technical colleges that were built in the 1860s. When most departments of universities rejected women, home economics was a back door into higher education.
Indeed, in the early 20th century, home economics was a serious subject When few people understood germ (微生物) theory and almost no one had heard of vitamins, home economics classes offered vital information about washing hands regularly, eating fruits and vegetables and not feeding coffee to babies.
However, today we remember only the fixed ideas about home economics, forgetting the movement’s most important lessons on healthy eating and cooking. Too many Americans simply don’t know how to cook. Our diets, consisting of highly processed foods made cheaply outside the home, have contributed to many serious health problems. In the last decade, many cities and states have tried to tax junk food heavily or to ban the use of food stamps (食品券) to buy soda. Clearly, many people are doubtful about any governmental steps to promote healthy eating. But what if the government put the tools of obesity prevention in the hands of children themselves by teaching them how to cook?
My first experience with home economics happened two decades ago when I was a seventh grader in a North Carolina public school. A year later, my father’s job took our family to Wales, where I attended a large school for a few months. It was the first time I had ever really cooked anything. I remember that it was fun, and with an instructor standing by, it wasn’t hard. Those lessons stuck with me when I first started cooking for my husband and myself after college and they still do. Teaching cooking in public schools can help solve some problems facing Americans today. The history of home economics shows it’s possible.
