Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didnt see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort. trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boys hand.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life.

When I started a business, I wanted to sell it a day later. When I started graduate school, I was already planning how I was going to be the fastest PhD in history.Around the time that I had planned on receiving that PhD, I ended up getting thrown out. “Lack of maturity (成熟),” the letter said.I dont believe that “life is short”. Sometimes it feels very long. I wish every day was already over just so I could get to the next. And the next. An imaginary tomorrow always seems to be better than today in my head. This makes me think of my hero, Gene Wolfe, a great inventor and writer. Gene Wolfe was given the task of taking a baked potato, pressing it down, and slicing it up so that it could fit into a tennis ball can. Well, he did it. He invented Pringles (品客薯片).Many normal human beings, not as devoted to status and creativity as Gene was, might say: “OK, thats my lifes achievement. Ive created an easily storable food based on a vegetable that will please children and adults for decades, maybe centuries.”If I were Gene I would have rested on what I have achieved and played golf with friends. But Gene knew the magic secret: one page a day.He writes a page a day. A page is about 300 words. A paragraph or two. Can you do that? Gene ended up writing 50 published novels, including many bestsellers and award-winners.He didnt get stereotyped and put in that Pringles can. He did what he loved to do. Thats what keeps you alive every day. Life is too long, but you shouldnt reject the opportunities in front of you every day.I was talking to James Manos, the creator of Dexter. He said: “My definition of success is not being able to tell the difference between work and pleasure.”Its OK if right now the two are separate for you. Today is a new day. This is my page today.25. When the author started graduate school, _.A. he made up his mind to finish a novel before graduationB. he decided to follow his heros example and start a businessC. he didnt expect to end up being thrown outD. he realized that life is too short to be wasted26. Which of the following about Gene Wolfe is NOT true?A. He is the person who invented Pringles.B. He is the authors role model.C. Some of his novels are very popular.D. He usually finishes his books in just a few days.27. With the article, the author mainly wants to tell us that _.A. work and pleasure are equally important in lifeB. opportunities play a big part in successC. we should make the most of every dayD. we should always be hopeful about tomorrow参考答案2527、CDC阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.C. ,the Qin army launched a more serious attack upon the State of Wei than ever. The king of the State of Wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to use for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said:Your Majesty, they dont think about the interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away.He added. Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. Isnt it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?Though Sue Dais argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. Again, surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes(堤防) of the Huanghe River. The State of Wei was finally destroyed.13When asked how to defeat the Qin army, most officials .Awere scared and at a loss what to doBwere worried and asked Su Dai fir adviceCdecided to ask a force to bear down upon the borderDtrembled and decided to give up fighting back14The underlined phrase sue for in Paragraph 2 probably means .Ahope for Bbeg for Csearch for Dsend for15Su Dai used the example of carrying faggots to put out a fire to show .Athe ambition of the State of Qin Bthe risk of fighting backCthe serious results of giving in Dthe terrible results of defense16The story is mainly developed by .Atime BlogicCspace Dcause and effect【参考答案】1316 DBCA说明文阅读阅读下列材料，然后按要求完成读写任务。Maurice Sendaks childrens book, Where the Wild Things Are, published in 1963,has become very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.The books main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper.Before long,Maxs room magically becomes a forest,and he sails away to a land where monsters live.Max isnt scared,though,and becomes king of the wild things,but after a while,he begins feeling homesick.Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in his bedroom.Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and imagination.Melina Davis,an education professor,said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them.“This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children,but experts say those words help improve childrens reading skills and challenge them.Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story.“The book talks about what all children go through,like I was naughty but my mommy still loves me,” Davis said.The book also encourages children to face their fears.“I think its really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” Davis said.“Kids can find out monsters arent always the thing under the bed thats going to scare them.I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”Since the book has been successful throughout the years,a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it.Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children.“You dont want bad dreams over a book thats extremely wonderful,” Davis said.以约30词概括短文大意_.根据所读短文选择正确答案1Teachers and professors like the boo
