It was a rainy night in New Orleans. At a bus station in the town,I watched a young girl 1        as her baggage was taken down. It seemed that she had 2        her money and ticket after changing buses. She cried and 3        them not to leave her there.

  The bus driver had a face of 4       with no sign of wanting to help,and his heart was 5        the same. "Losing your ticket is 6        losing your money," he said,and left the girl in the 7       . At that time,an old Indian stood up and 8        the driver's way, "How can you leave that girl out there? You know she 9       a ticket. You can't leave her in a city where she doesn't have any friends. You will meet your schedule,10       she might meet her end. " The driver showed no 11        of changing his mind and still didn't 12        the young girl's problem. Then the old gentleman said, "I'll 13       for her fare. I'll give her a little money to help her on her 14       . ”He went and bought the ticket and helped her put the baggage in the overhead luggage space. "How can I 15        ，" the girl said, "the16 you've shown tonight? We are strangers and we won't meet again. A ( n) 17       ' thank you' doesn't seem right."He 18      ,"What goes around comes around."

  This is what Fve learned with time―What you 19      ,you always get back. What you sow,you reap (收獲) in kind. Always be 20        to others and give what you can spare. By being kind to strangers,we will be helped in the future.

1. B從后面的as her baggage was taken down以及下一句It seemed that推測(cè)的原因來看，在一個(gè)雨夜，小女孩的行李被拿下來了，而且無法換車，所以此刻可能是在那里哭泣。

2. C看起來她好像是丟了換車的票和錢。第2 段司機(jī)的說話內(nèi)容"Losing your ticket..."也證實(shí)如此。

3. D小女孩處于被動(dòng)的狀態(tài)，所以應(yīng)該是哀求司機(jī)不要把她留在那里，而不是"要求，命令"。

4. D從后面的with no sign of wanting to help可知，司機(jī)并沒有打算要幫助小女孩,所以他的臉像"石頭"一樣生硬，沒有表情，說明司機(jī)的冷酷無情。

5. B對(duì)照他毫無表情的臉，他也一定沒有一點(diǎn)同情心。surely表示"無疑，必定"。

6. B丟失車票就像丟失現(xiàn)金一樣�？梢钥闯觯緳C(jī)認(rèn)為車票是非常重要的。

7. B 從文中的首句It was a rainy night可知，當(dāng)時(shí)正在下雨，司機(jī)又不愿意搭載小女孩，所以小女孩被拋棄在了雨中。

8. C從老人說的話"How can you leave that girl out there"可知，老人責(zé)備司機(jī)的無情，所以此時(shí)他站起來，應(yīng)該是"阻止"司機(jī)的去路。block sb.'s way意為"堵住某人的路"。

9. C這里用過去式，had表示她"曾"買過了。

10. A前句是關(guān)于司機(jī)的內(nèi)容"meet the schedule"，后句是小女孩的事情"meet her end"，前后句具有強(qiáng)烈的對(duì)照關(guān)系。句意為：你將按章程辦事，她將無路可走。meet the schedule指"按時(shí)間表、進(jìn)度表辦事"。

11. D從后面的sign of changing his mind and still didn't...可以知道，司機(jī)仍然沒有要改變主意的跡象。

12. A從前面對(duì)司機(jī)的描述可知，他絲毫不關(guān)心小女孩的情況，所以選A項(xiàng)care about。

13. B老人的言語表明他是一位極其善良的人，所以此刻面對(duì)司機(jī)的無情，他只好為女孩"付"公交車費(fèi)了。

14. D on one's way指"在某人到某地的路上"。

15. C老人為女孩買了票，女孩應(yīng)該是非常感激的，所以想知道怎樣把欠他的情還給他，尤其他們是互不相識(shí)的陌生人。

16. A從老人的行為中，可以看出，老人是非常和藹的，所以此處選kindness。

17. C從doesn't seem right看出，僅僅說聲謝謝是不夠的。

18. D老人"回答道"："付出什么就會(huì)得到什么"。

19. B與18題呼應(yīng),這就是作者所表達(dá)的主題。

20. A根據(jù)文章最后一句可知，對(duì)待別人要友善，要幫助別人，將來我們也會(huì)得到幫助的。

  Most,if not all,Chinese are financially better off thanks to over 30 years of reform and opening up. But are we any happier?

  Various surveys and rankings attempt to answer this question.

  Though sociologists have presented varying percentages based on different criteria,their answers tend to find we are generally happier,and the number of optimists rises each year.

  But each survey reveals a worrisome fact that a sizable portion,10 percent at the lowest,of respondents were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future.

  We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy.

  Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury for many of our compatriots because of poverty,we agree financial wellbeing is not the sole determinant of happiness.

  For most of us,except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists,there simply are too many variables that may kill the feeling of happiness.

  These include,but are not limited to,rising housing prices,tight and instable job market,backbreaking schooling expenses and medical bills. 

  The most common one,however,is a low sense of security.

  An eyecatching characteristic of our economy is its high savings rate,at 46 percent now.

  Explaining the rise in savings and drop in spending in their city,Beijing municipal statisticians pointed that in the low-and-middle-income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment,income,housing,medical situations,and education.

  How can you feel happy when you always have to brace ( = prepare) yourself for the unexpected?

  It may be beyond the government's reach,to guarantee higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.

  There was an inclusive '* safety network" when the government encouraged officials to leave public offices in 1980s in attempts to downsize public service. The idea was to offer officials secure pay and benefits so they would not have to worry about guarantees after their departure from positions of power.

  It is time the government displayed similar creativity and resolve to address a much larger sense of uncertainty.

(   ) 1. The underlined word "burden" in the passage means         .

   A. a heavy load

   B. a duty or responsibility

   C. the main theme of an article

   D. capacity

(   ) 2. According to the passage,the reason that most people involved in the surveys feel unhappy is that         .

   A. they are faced with financial problems

   B. they are not naturally born optimists

   C. they are lack of sense of security

   D. they are bothered by the rising prices

(   ) 3. From the passage,we know that the high savings rate shows that        .

   A. life for most Chinese is no longer a daily struggle for basic necessities

   B. the country's social security system is incomplete

   C. the public are too busy to spend

   D. it is not easy to change this traditional custom

(   ) 4. The writer offers the example of "safety network" is to show        .

   A. the officials in China can enjoy better social welfare

   B. the advantages of a policy

   C. a way to solve the problem mentioned above

   D. it is not necessary for most people to worry about their future

   Crying babies,buzzing mosquitoes,ringing car alarms,they're all annoying noises. But what's the worst? A recent survey lists the things we hate to hear.

However,numberone on the list was the sound of a dentist's drill. "That lust sends shivers down my spine ," said one respondent. " After a visit to the dentist,I sometimes wake up at night with that sound in my head. It's horrible," said another. " I've seen patients shaking with fear when I bring out the drill," explained a dentist. Of course,anyone who has actually been to the dentist and heard the sound will probably agree with that.

  But there's some good news,a new device developed by experts at College London,Brunei University and London South Bank University can cancel out the sound of the frightening drill. The tiny machine allows patients to listen to music on an MP3 player while the sound of the drill is eliminated. However,patients are still able to hear the dentist's voice because not all sounds are filtered out (濾除) .

  The theory behind it is fairly straightforward. Microphones are placed close to the dental drill. These pick up any sounds and transform them into digital signals. Then,electronic filters cancel out any unwanted sound waves. This can be done even if the wave's amplitude (振幅) and frequency changes. However,the great thing is that this technology also allows other noises,such as the dentist's voice to come through.

  It's easy to use,too. Patients simply plug the soundfiltering machine into their MP3 players. Then,via headphones,they can listen to music and hear the dentist's voice without being disturbed by the noise of the drill. Fantastic！

  So,next time you go to the dentist,remember to bring your MP3 player.

(   ) 5. What is the purpose of the text?

   A. To announce a recent survey.

   B. To introduce a new product.

   C. To list some annoying noises.

   D. To remind to bring your MP3.

(   ) 6. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?

   A. It makes me surprised. B. It makes me delightful.

   C. It makes me wide awake. D. It makes me scared.

(   ) 7. What technology is the tiny machine based on?

   A. It can get rid of all the sounds.

   B. It can transform sound waves into digital signals.

   C. It can filter out the unwanted sounds.

   D. It can change the sound wave's amplitude and frequency.

(   ) 8. Which of the following words best describe the tiny machine?

   A. Heavy and useless. B. Simple and practical.

   C. Clear but frightening. D. Fantastic but noisy.
