Mr. Green owned a few shops and was busy with his work. Once his wife had a fall and broke her leg. She was sent to the hospital and needed someone to look after her. They had several servants, but none of them could do the job. One of his friends brought a girl to Mr. Green. She looked beautiful and strong. Mr. Green liked her at the first sight, and wanted to hire (聘用) her.
When the girl went out of the room, the friend said, “I hear she’s a little foolish. You’d better ask her some questions. If she answers them well, you can hire her.”
Mr. Green agreed and called the girl in again. He asked, “What would you be a servant for?”
“My mother is often ill,” the girl said, crying, “I have to stop studying and find work. I want to get some money to buy some medicine for her.”
“Where’s your father, then?”
“He died last year.” answered the girl.
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that,” said Mr. Green, “And how did he die?”
“He went to London on business and had a high fever. The doctor couldn’t save him and he died in the capital.”
“How many times had your father been to London?”
“Three times.”
Mr. Green was happy. He thought that the girl was not foolish at all, but he wanted to have a last try. So he asked, “Which of the three times did your father die in London?”

Sarah ran in, shouting, “Look what I found!”  Over the top of the paper I was reading; came a terrible thing that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin found in our garden.
“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my seven-year-old daughter.
I opened my eyes widely and looked at the snake skin in fear. I didn’t think it was beautiful, but I learned never to appear nonchalant(冷漠的)with children. Everything they see for the first time is important to their sense of beauty; they see only excellence in the world.
“Why does it do this?”  Sarah asked.
“Snakes shed(蛻) their skins because they need to renew themselves,”  I explained.
“Why do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.
“We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my daughter. “We leave some things and find other thing unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too little for him, and he probably doesn’t think he looks as smart in it as he once did. “
As we talked, I knew that she began to understand. Although she couldn’t understand clearly, she would know that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and spirit, and see what we need to keep and what we need to leave.  I was careful to tell that this is a natural way, not one to be forced.
“Snakes don’t peel off their skins when they like them. “I explained. “It happens as a natural thing of their growth. “
“I see, Dad,” said Sarah as she held the snake skin, and then ran off.
I hoped she would remember this; we need to throw some away because they are worthless or unnecessary. Then we can store them as memories m our deep hearts.
小題1:Father jumped up when her daughter came to him with a snake skin because ＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A．he didn’t want to read any more
B．he was in great fear of it
C．he wanted to praised her daughter
D．he hated snakes
小題2:Father’s patient explanation shows that ＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A．his daughter didn’t want to listen to him at all
B．he knew children saw only excellence in the world
C．his daughter couldn’t follow him at all
D．he wanted to teach everything to her
小題3:In this reading the underlined word ‘renew’ means ＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A．to begin to do something again
B．to make something newer than before
C．to replace something old with something new
D．to cover something old with something new
小題4:We learn from the reading that＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A．the girl seemed to understand what her father said
B．the girl wasn’t interested in the explanation
C．the father was good at raising snakes
D．the father liked the snake skin better
小題5:Which of the following titles is the best for the reading?

My parents quarreled a lot, and I was really worried about it. I didn’t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend’s house. Though I knew I wouldn’t tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was packing up my things when suddenly the power (電) went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
I was really disappointed(失望的) because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I’d stay with him until the power was restored(恢復(fù)). He was quite happy and said.
“Great chance.”
“What is?” I asked.
“To talk, you and I,” he said. “To hold a one-to-one little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we’re going to do with ourselves and the situation we are in now.”
“But we can’t do anything about it, Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.
And that is how the most amazing friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life from how fast things change to how they sometimes don’t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.
Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you’ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”
小題1:Why was Grandpa happy to see the writer?

Where has the Time gone? is the hottest song that has moved thousands of Chinese. Chinese parents give their children endless love and ask nothing in return. However, sometimes, daughters and sons are too busy growing up and forget that their parents are getting older and older. What should we do? Let’s have a look at a letter of a father’s.
Dear son，
One day if you see me old and I am not myself, have patience and try to understand me. If I get dirty when eating…, if I cannot dress…, have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.
If, when I speak to you, I say the same things one thousand and one times, do not stop me and listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you one thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep.
When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame（羞辱） me nor scold（責(zé)備） me. Remember when I had to chase you with a thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bath.
When you see me meet something new, give me the necessary time and don’t laugh at me. I taught you how to do so many things… to eat well, to dress well… to face life.
If I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not. When my legs do not allow me to walk, give me your hand the same way I did when you gave your first steps. 
When sometimes I lose the memory during our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember. And if I cannot do it, do not become nervous because the most important thing is not my conversation but to be with you and to have you listen to me.
Yours,
Father
