To my family and friends,
As some of you know, I have just started my tour in the remote mountain area. Everything is going really well, so no      .The land is beautiful but unfortunately it has a lot of        too. I have received several emails asking what I need while I'm here .so I decided to write you all and let you know that I don’t need anything. At least not for me. I’m asking all of you to send me a few       to help the local children. Let me explain.
On 12 May 2009, in a small village here, 120 school age girls were       by a gas leak（煤氣泄漏）. Most have      but 6 are still in hospital. Even though the local government speaks about the     of education for both boys and girls but most of these kids only attend school for four hours a day if they are even allowed to go. They are so excited and     to learn, but then have to     things like being sprayed（噴射） with acid or poisoned. Most of these kids are poor and can’t     a pencil, pen or even paper to write on. So my co-workers and I are planning a trip to several schools to promote      and to give these kids some of the       they need. That is where all of you come in. If you can, please       whatever school supplies you currently have     .
That would be a huge help.
I know how busy you are so thank you for taking the     to do this and I will post pictures of this    after we go.
Thank you again.
Todd Tucker

After my husband died, my world crashed around me. My six children were 10, nine, eight, six, three and 18 months, and I was overwhelmed(壓垮) with the responsibilities(責(zé)任) of earning a living, caring for the children and simply keeping my head above water.
I was lucky to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and frankly(坦誠地) I was uneasy. Every unusual noise or any late-night phone call filled me with fear. I felt really lonely.
One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd(牧羊犬) on our doorstep. It was obvious he wanted to make the house his home. The children took an instant（緊迫的） liking to "German" and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement(地下室) until the next day. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks. The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us.
On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us. He stayed again Sunday night.
Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn’t come back. We thought we’d never see him again. On Friday evening, German was back again. We took him in, and again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived. It went like this for almost 10 months. We looked forward to his coming each Monday morning he left home.
Each week, between German's visits, I grew a little braver, but every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.
小題1:How long did the German shepherd stay with the family every week?
A．One day.B．Two days.
C．Three days.D．Four days.
小題2:What does the underlined part in the first paragraph mean?
A．trying to keep calm in public
B．trying to get attention from other men
C．showing her high spirit in the face of trouble
D．managing to continue to live
小題3:When the author’s husband died, ______.
A．she couldn’t raise the six children on her own
B．she couldn’t relax on the weekends
C．The housekeeper only came on weekends
D．she was too busy to feel lonely
小題4:Which of the following is Wrong according to the article?
A．German was fond of living with the family.
B．The writer felt safe and protected with German around.
C．The dog stayed until the writer was strong enough to go on alone.
D．The writer was too busy that weekend to go find the dog’s owner.
小題5:Which is the best title for the passage?
A．A homeless dogB．A friend’s strength
C．How to keep a dogD．Keep up when in trouble

(1)I was only an 11-year-old girl when my parents told me that we would soon move to America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear(忍受）the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again which I listened to every morning.
In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I even felt a little excited because I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.
The first four years in America taught me the importance of optimism（樂觀）, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools and I (2)________most of my time(2)_________learning the English language.I hardly had any time for fun. Sometimes I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried(再婚), and things became even harder for me. It took me some time to get used to my stepfather(繼父). I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
I had to do many things for the family since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated(翻譯）all kinds of information and took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there.
Luckily, things got better and better later and almost all common troubles went away at last  From those experiences I have learned one important rule: Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!
小題1:將（1）句譯成中文：_________________________________________________________
小題2:在（2）處填入兩個合適的詞，使句意完整，上下文通順：__________; __________

Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.
