A recital 1 I had to practice a boring piece of music and perform before strangers. Each year I 2 ask my father if I could skip the recital “just this once”. And each year hed shake his head, muttering (嘀咕) 3 about building self-confidence and working towards a 4 . So it was with really great 5 that I stood in church one recent Sunday, video camera in hand, and 6 my 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt 7 rising to play the piano in his very first recital. My father had longed to play music since childhood, but his family was poor and couldnt 8 lessons. He could have gone on regretting it, 9 too many of us do.

As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, its not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket, a charity group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that hed come up with this sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I cant take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending to the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her. Instead I gave the flower to the womans husband and told him, “My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mothers Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.21. What does the author intend to tell us?A. One can never be too careful. B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Love begins with a little smile. D. A small act of kindness brings a great joy.22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B. Tenysons idea of buying a flower gained his mothers support.C. Tenysons care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.D. The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenysons gesture.23. The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means “_”.A. astonished B. struck C. frightened D. excited24. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Flower Power B. Mothers Day C. An Accidental Injury D. An Embarrassing MomentB Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables (寓言) into cartoon movies.The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mothers death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderellas food into the ashes of the fire, and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence (因此) her name.In the original story, the kings ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed something sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked (邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But, when they passed the tomb of Cinderellas mother, the birds called out to the prince,“Turn and peep, theres blood within the shoe;The shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.” Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother. The other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderellas foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderellas two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the kings riches, two birds flew by and plucked (啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.25. What does the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Such wonderful things. B. Other well-loved characters.C. Old fables. D. Cartoon movies.26. How did Cinderella get her name?A. The birds came up with it. B. It was given by Disney.C. It came from the word “ash”. D. She got it from her mother.27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?A. Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress. B. The ball was held to celebrate the princes wedding.C. Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose. D. The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.28. The moral of the original story is that _.A. a wicked person cannot escape punishment B. a devoted person certainly deserves respectC. a well-behaved child earns a great reward D. a dishonest child cannot get mother love29. What does the author think of the Disney version?A. Excellent. B. Ordinary. C. Dull. D. Ridiculous.C BLOOD DRIVE & MARROW (骨髓) REGISTRATION“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of strangers to make that happen.” Daisy, Isabelles MotherIsabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed (诊断) with a genetic blood disorder, beta thalassemia. Isabelles body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血) every 46weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through the Be The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.Held at Wiley HallWednesday, March 26, 2014Behind Heathman Dormitory/Butterfield Rd.12:00 PM - 6 :00 PMDont forget to bring your drivers license or another form of identification when you donate.Visit to make an appointment, Sponsor Code 3390.FREE Kingston Pizza ! ! !

Strange as it may seem, if youre unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desiresnot that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you dont have enough tastes.Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped (淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅), a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when youre hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozarts and Bachs shouldnt be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when youve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.33. The author intends to tell us that_. A. true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means B. big houses are peoples most valued possessions C. big houses can in a sense bring richness of life D. true happiness comes from spiritual riches34.

A. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor C. though their house is big, they prefer a simple life D. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage35. It can be learned from the passage that _. A. more money brings more happiness B. art is needed to make your house beautiful C. literature can enrich your spiritual life D. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness36. What would be the best title for the passage? A. House of Life B. Secret of Wealth C. Rest and Refreshment D. Interest and EnthusiasmEAs has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take “direct action”, even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents.Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU (European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation. Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition(联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say.We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either mispla
