11、In June, 2013, I started my work at the animal shelter's Adoption(领养)Department. Over the years, more than 50, 000 animals have 1 the doors of the shelter(收容所). Sometimes there are 2 animals, who touch me so deeply that I could never forget them. Tabby was one such animal.
Tabby was an ancient Cooker Spaniel, probably 14 years old. What's more, she was blind and deaf. Tabby's chances of adoption seemed small. We all thought that Tabby would live out the rest of her life at the 3 .
One day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter. Her son, Gary, was interested in Tabby! What could a young child possibly see in a 14-year-old dog who was both blind and deaf? Most boys would want a dog who could grow with them and 4 through grassy fields on summer days. Tabby would 5 be able to do that. But after meeting her, Loretta and Gary decided that she was the right dog for their family. They adopted Tabby!
If Tabby′s story simply ended with her 6 adoption, it would still have been something very special indeed. 7 , it was what happened after her adoption that people might think to be "magic". Gary had seizures(癫痫).Since Gary and Tabby met, they have been friends. They became so "in tune" with one another that Tabby began to tell Gray's seizures 8 they appeared, giving his family a(n) 9 that one was about to strike. What's more, Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby arrived.
How could it he? Nobody could explain 10 Tabby did it. But those of us who were lucky enough to know her family and witnessed the magic, know that it has its roots in love.

13、My friend Mary came to school wearing a brand-new pair of Zee jeans. “Your new Zee jeans are so cute!” I said.
“My grandma took me clothes shopping last weekend,” Mary said. “The Zee jeans were on sale. They have cool pockets and are unbelievably comfortable. When you’re at my house after school, try them on and see for yourself.”
“Hmm.” I didn’t think so. But when I tried them on, I couldn’t help agreeing. “I’m totally taking these!” I said. As soon as I got home, I told my mom that I had to get some Zee jeans.
Mom said, “You already have three pairs of perfectly good jeans. There is no way Dad and I are paying that much for a pair of pants. If you want to buy them with your own money, I would be happy to make a long list of extra chores you can do.”
“I’ll start this minute,” I said.
It took me three weeks to save enough money. I changed kitty litter, watched my little brother and sister, and cleaned refrigerator. The refrigerator cleaning was the worst because one of the shelves fell while I was taking everything out. Food and milk splashed all over the floor. It took me one and a half hour to clean it up!
Anyway, I finally bought my Zee jeans, and I loved them even more than I thought I would. I loved them half because they had cool pockets and super comfortable, and half because I had worked so hard to earn the money to buy them myself.
1．Who bought the new Zee jeans for Mary?
A．Her mother. B．Herself. C．Her friend. D．Her grandmother.
2．Why did mom not want to buy a pair of Zee jeans to the writer?
A．She didn’t like the writer.
B．She thought the writer was lazy.
C．She thought that the writer had enough jeans.
D．She didn’t have enough money.
3．How did the writer buy the new jeans?
A．She got money from her mom.
B．She made money by doing housework.
C．She borrowed money from Mary.
D．She asked her grandma to buy them for her.

14、One day while driving from my home to work. I noticed a car in front of me had a wobbly(不稳定的)wheel. It was clear that the wheel had been changed recently and had not been fixed correctly. On a slow road this would not show much of a problem but I knew a highway was coming soon. There the traffic would move much faster and the driver would be in danger as the wheel could come off at that speed.
I was driving a large jeep at the time and the car in front was a small one driven by a young lady on her own. So as I tried to flash(闪)my lights and wave her to pull over, I was worried that she wouldn't’ pull over on the road side when she found in her mirror a single man chasing(追) her down in a jeep and waving for her to pull over.
Thankfully. she trusted more in the good nature of people and pulled over where I could explain the problem. She said the wheel was changed only the night before and that she would pull into the nearest garage(修车间)where the repairman had tools to fix the wheel correctly.
My belief is that the act of kindness was hers and not mine. How so? Well, it was she who chose to believe in the possibility that people are good over the belief that bad things would come from being waved over to the side of the road by strangers.
I am glad I was able to wave her down in time and so a serious accident might have been avoided. But I am even happier that she believed in a stranger.
1．The writer worried about the lady because .
A．she was driving a second-hand car
B．a traffic accident might happen to her
C．a single man was chasing her down
D．she drove faster than any other car
2．Why did the lady pull over on the side road ?
A．Because she found something wrong.
B．Because she thought the road not safe.
C．Because the writer shouted at her.
D．Because the writer gave her some signs.
3．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Trusting in the Kindness of Strangers
B．A Wobbly Wheel of a Car
C．A Lady Who Was Saved
D．Accident That Didn’ t Happen

Find Which Direction Is South
Do you have a good sense of direction? If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way.
It’s never a wise idea to believe that the family member who was good at the job of map-reading knows where the family is. You can tell by the troubled look on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and it’s still morning. If you don’t know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but you’ll need to be patient.
①Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow(a dark shape on a surface that is made when something stands between a light and the surface).
②Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直)as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line(铅锤线). You haven’t got one? OK, use a thread(线) from your clothes with a button(纽扣) tied at the end to act as a weight.
③Mark the end of the shadow cast(投射) by the stick.
④Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again.
⑤Keep doing this until you have made several marks.
⑥The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south.
⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick.
⑧That point is south of where you are.
⑨Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be travelling.
1．To find the direction, we have to be patient probably because ___________.
A．it is not easy to find a proper stick
B．it is not easy to position the stick
C．it takes hours to make the marks
D．it takes hours to mark the map
2．The passage would probably be most helpful to ___________.
A．those who draw maps
B．those who get lost
C．those who make compasses
D．those who do experiments
3．Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?
A． B． C． D．
4．The writer presents this passage by ___________.
A．telling an interesting story
B．describing an activity in a lively way
C．testing an idea by reasoning
D．introducing a practical method

The book is going to celebrate its birthday this August. It began exactly half a century ago. And it’s always one of the best selling books in the world.

18、At the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer（拖车式活动房）that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parki
