I learned early in life that I had to be more patient and little aggressive. From the time I was about four until I was about six, I destroyed each of my toy. I was happy when the toy's worked, but when things did wrong, I got angry and broke it. For a while parents bought me new toys. But before long they began to see which was happening. When I tear apart my fifth birthday toy train, my father sad, “That's it. No more toys to you.” My punishment lasted a year. Meanwhile, I found out that with more patience I must make my toys to last. My attitude changed from now on.

3 . When I was first married to my wife, I lived and worked in Ontario, moving from small town to big city as I pursued my career as a radio broadcaster. We have two sons, both of whom were born in Toronto, but they moved, with us, to Ottawa when they were quite young. They grew up there, and then, chasing their own careers, they also moved. One went to Canada’s east coast near a city called Halifax and the other headed to the west coast to Vancouver. We had a dilemma; we were left in the middle.

At the time I was still working and my job was in Ottawa. However, as we began to consider retirement we wondered where we should spend our final years. We couldn’t be close to both of our children and there was no telling when they might again relocate. For several reasons we settled on a small town on Vancouver Island. At least we were close to one of them. However, he had his sights set on Hollywood and, when an opportunity presented itself, he left Canada and headed south. I helped him move.

So, there we were, and still are, in our little west coast town. We love our little corner of paradise but we have paid a price. We have not been there for some important events such as the births of two of our grandchildren. We have missed watching each of them grow up; we have missed the normal, noisy households that have young people in them. Our home, while very comfortable, is also very quiet.

Every fall we travel to see the children. We usually fly, first to California to see our son Scott and spend a week or more with him trying to catch up on everything we’ve missed. Then, usually in November, we make the even longer trip east across Canada to see Travis and our grandchildren, who are now teenagers, actually into their twenties. They seldom come to visit us. The distances are just too great and it is costly.

Fortunately, both our boys are doing well and our grandchildren are growing up straight and tall. We love all of them and we are secure in the knowledge that they love us but the reality is that they don’t need us. We have done our jobs and, at least in theory, we can sit back, relax and enjoy the time remaining to us. They have also missed having a set of parents and grandparents around.

Life has been good for our family but we have all paid a price.

1. What does the author mean by saying “We had a dilemma.”?

A．They were not happy about their sons’ absence.

B．They were unwilling to separate from their sons.

C．They were not yet prepared for retirement at that time.

D．They couldn’t decide which son to live close to.

2. Why does the author say they have paid a price?

A．They have lost lots of money because of his retirement.

B．They have to give a large sum of money to their sons.

C．They have been absent from their children’s life.

D．They have to afford very expensive fare to visit their sons.

3. Why do not the author’s grandchildren visit them regularly?

A．They are quite occupied with their homework.

B．It’s not easy for the kids to visit their grandparents.

C．They don’t need their grandparents any more.

D．The weather of winter in Canada is very awful.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Grandparents’ Love	B．Suffering Separation
C．A Price to Pay	D．Hidden Emotions

The old man walked slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched (打补丁) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled (闪耀) like diamonds，large rosy cheeks，and thin lips that held a steady smile．

With the help of his trusty cane (拐杖), he walked toward a table by the window．A young waitress watched him and ran over to him，saying，"Here，Sir．Let me give you a hand with that chair．"

Without a word，he smiled and nodded a thank you．She pulled the chair away from the table．Supporting him with one arm，she helped him move in front of the chair，and get comfortably seated．Then she pushed the table up close to him，and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it．

In a soft，clear voice he said，"Thank you，Miss．"

"You're welcome，Sir．"She replied．"My name is Mary．I'll be back in a moment．If you need anything，just wave at me．"

After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes，bacon，and hot lemon tea，Mary brought him the change，helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table．She handed him his cane，and walked with him to the front door．Holding the door open for him，she said，"Come back and see us，Sir!"

He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile，"You are very kind!"

When Mary went to clean his table，she was shocked．Under his plate she found a business card and a note written on the napkin，under which was a $ 100bill．

The note on the napkin read，"Dear Mary，I respect you very much，and you respect yourself，too．It shows by the way you treat others．You have found the secret of happiness．Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you．"

The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant．This was the first time that she，or any of his employees，had seen him in person．

6 . Mark Eklund was in the first third grade class that I taught at Saint Mary’s Schoo1. Neat in appearance, he had that happy-to-be-alive ______ that made even his occasional mischievousness (恶作剧) delightful. What impressed me so much, _______, was his sincere response every time I had to correct him for misbehaving: “Thank you for _______ me. Sister!”I did not know what to _______ it at first, but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day.

One Friday, I asked the pupils to think of the _______ things of their classmates and write them down. That Saturday, I _______ the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and I listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday I gave each student his or her _______ .Some of them ran two pages. Before long, the entire class was smiling. “Really?”I heard the whispers. “I never knew that meant _______ to anyone. ”

Several years later, I heard of the news that Mark was _______ in the war. At his funeral, Mark’s parents found me. “We want to show you something, ”Mark’s father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket, “They found this ________ Mark when he was shot dead. It ________ him all his life. ”. Opening it, he carefully removed two ________ pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been folded and refolded many times. I knew without looking that the pieces of paper were the ones on which I had listed all the good things Mark’s ________ had said about him. That’s ________ I finally sat down and cried fight there.

7 . Each of us struggles for self-respect and self-worth to some degree. I spent much time trying to achieve perfection in every aspect of my life.

I was a happy kid with a lot of friends and a supportive family. But growing up was really______and even scary sometimes.

8 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Having held the interschool storytelling championship for the past two years, I was the shining star of my school. When it came to choosing the right candidate to participate in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.

Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the champion again. Consequently, I became conceited. I was so proud that I neglected the importance of practicing for the contest.

A week before the contest, my teacher Ms. Sara asked,“Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse for the contest ?” She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was .“Just imagine you are on the stage in the presence of the audience, ”she added .

“ I’m sorry, Ms. Sara, ” I replied .“I have a bit of a sore throat.”

This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in front of the class. I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary. On one occasion, I even told Mrs. Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest. In fact, I did everything but practice my scrip. I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest. As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools, I was too

vain to practice and expected everything to be fine.

The contest was being held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was packed.

My school teachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates. I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total. Those who spoke before me did extremely well. On seeing their
fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself. My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.

10 . “The movie American Sniper is on. ”I said to my husband.

We decided to watch，thinking it would take our minds off my husband’s situation at work. He had been working with the same organization for about twenty-three years，and the management，he suspected，was preparing to let him go. The signs were pretty clear and I felt his pain.

I wondered if American Sniper was the wrong movie to watch and considered changing the channel. Maybe something lighter was good. A family comedy with laughter would have been more uplifting for my husband.

We turned the volume down as our son James was studying in the next room.

“You know this movie is based on a true story，”I said，half thinking about my husband’s situation and half watching the movie.

“Yes. ”he replied. “It’s based on Chris Kyle’s book. ”

I thought about all the young men who had lost their lives in Iraq. “Some of those boys were only a couple of years older than James，”I said.

As I watched the movie，I began to realize how small our problems really were. “You know，other couples are wondering if their sons are safe on a battlefield，and here we are with our son perfectly safe in the next room. ”

Over the next hour，the mood in our room changed from depression to gratitude. How fortunate we were ! Our son was healthy and safe. We had a roof over our heads and could walk outside without worrying whether there would bebullets(子弹)flying through the air. As for my husband’s job，he could do something else—something that he would love.

Looking at the big picture and moving from“depression to reflection”have made all the difference.

1. What problem did the author’s family face?

A．The house roof was broken.

B．The husband would lose his job.

C．The son did poorly in his studies.

D．The relationship between the couple was bad.

2. Why did the author want to change the channel?

A．The movie was very boring.

B．She preferred something lighter.

C．Her husband liked family comedies.

D．She was considerate towards her husband.

3. What made the author feel better?

A．Watching a funny family comedy,

B．Thinking of unfortunate families.

C．The touching story in the movie.

D．Her husband’s words of comfort.

4. What message does the author intend to convey in the text'?

A．Be grateful for what we have.

B．Get some power from a movie.

C．We can always control our life.

D．Stay strong in the face of difficulty.
