11、That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines (台词). I was having 1 dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about 2 up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down 3 streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my flat, I heard a sound behind me. I 4 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me 5 , so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my flat building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my 6 falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to 7 I'd heard the noise. Although I 8 the sidewalk anxiously(忧虑的) for fifteen minutes, my wallet was 9 to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the 10 , “ Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my 11 ? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you're looking for?” he asked, 12 up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much 13 that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some 14 of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were 15 to help each other.

13、 Last summer holiday, I got a job working at a coffee shop.
One rainy day, one of my regular customers(顾客）came in. He looked upset. He said he wanted to get in bed, pull the sheets(被单) up over his head, and stay there for a few years. I knew that he was unhappy.
Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He was surprised, since he hadn’t ordered anything but coffee. I had given him his favorite type of doughnut(油炸圏饼).
＂It’s on me,＂ I told him. ＂Have a nice day. ＂
He smiled and thanked me before heading into the rain.
The next day, it was still raining. I spent my afternoon hanging out the window handing people their orders. I was wet and cold. Worse, no one was tipping(给小费） that day.
In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window. He handed me a pink rose and a note. He said that not many people took time to care about others today. With a friendly wave, he drove away.

Christine,
Thanks for being so sweet, kind yesterday. It is so nice to meet someone who’s so nice. Please don’t change your ways!
Have a great day!

14、“You are what you eat” is a common English saying. It means the food you eat will become part of you. Many experts use it to tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.
　　“When we say some people ‘sweet’, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people’s feelings and acts.”said Brain Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience(体验) every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone’s character and behavior depending on their taste.”
In one of their experiments(实验), college students were asked questions about their characters, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.
　　In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate helped other people in need, but those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren’t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more possibly to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.
　　The result of experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.
1．What does the underlined word “it” refer to(指代) ?
A．The English saying. B．The eating habit.
C．The American team. D．The sweet food.

3．Which kind of people may be less helpful?
A．The ones who like ice-cream.
B．The ones who prefer chocolate.
C．The ones who eat many cookies.
D．The ones who eat many chips.
4．According to the passage, which of the followings is NOT true?
A．Some scientists discovered something new about eating sweet food.
B．Kids are told to keep away from sweet food to be fat.
C．What you put in your mouth will show your character.
D．If people want to be kind or friendly, they can try some sweet food.
5．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Scientists asked college students questions about their characters.
B．People who like sweet food are more willing to help others.
C．Scientists told college students not to eat sweet food.
D．People’s character has nothing to do with their taste.

15、A young prince had just recently become King. In order to rule his kingdom, he decided to learn all the wisdom of world. Therefore, he gathered all the wise men from his kingdom and abroad and ordered them to look for books for him to read and learn from.
Five years passed quickly. The wise men returned with their camels, carrying 5000 books full of wisdom. Seeing so many books, the king was so shocked that he didn’t know how to start. So he ordered the wise men to condense the books and bring them back to him. Another five years passed. The wise men again went to see the king, this time bringing 500 books but the king still thought there were too many. Five more years passed. The wise men brought back 50 books. At this time, the king was troubled with many problems, but he still felt were too many books.
During the next few years, the wise men worked hard to condense the 50 books into one book and present it to the king. The king took no interest in reading this book, nor did he have time to learn from it. More problems broke out in his kingdom---his enemies endlessly attacked and diseases affected his people. He did not have the wisdom to solve these problems. Finally, the king was killed by a ruler in the neighbour country and his country was destroyed.
Waiting for wisdom to come to you is just a way of being lazy. If there is no action, there can be no gain. Only if we set out to find wisdom can we make a difference.
1．Why did the king gather all the wise man?
A．To help him rule the kingdom. B．To teach him some knowledge.

2．What does the underlined word “condense” mean?
A．To put much information into a small space. B．To make the price of books lower.
C．To make the books smaller than ever. D．To make the books easier than ever.
3．Why wouldn’t the king read the ONE book made from 50 books?
A．Because he didn’t know how to start. B．Because he lost interest and time for it.
C．Because he wasn’t sure about that book. D．Because it didn’t have the wisdom he wanted.
4．What can we learn from this passage?
A．Time and tide wait for no man. B．Wisdom can make a country strong.
C．Wisdom won’t come to you by itself. D．The meaning of living is to find wisdom.

17、Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. I have a habit of taking a nap (小睡) after lunch. Without a nap at noon, I will feel uncomfortable the whole afternoon. A nap after lunch can make me feel fresh and comfortable. Then I can work better in the afternoon.
