I still remember the last time when two of my children and I went to the playground. It had rained during the night and the playground was very muddy (泥濘的). They had just put on clean clothes, so I was a little worried about the pools of water on the playground. It was not long before Kathy got her beautiful skirt dirty on the playground. She dug through the rocks. I was about to blame her for getting her clothes dirty when she ran towards me with a smile on her face. When she got to me, she handed me a little heart-shaped rock and said, “Here Mom! Here is a heart for you－just because I love you! Keep it!” with tears in my eyes, I thanked her.
Should I blame her for getting her clothes muddy? No way! I still have that little heart-shaped rock. It is one of the best gifts that I have ever received. I realize that many times it is not necessary for us adults to worry about the small things our children do. Let them do what they’d like to.
I will spend a lot more time on the playground with my children. I’m sure I will learn a lot from the children. It reminds me of some years ago when my grandfather told me, “You would not enter the kingdom (王國) of happiness until you pretended (假裝) to be a small child.”
小題1:The writer was deeply moved by her daughter’s ____________.
A．digging task on the playground
B．love of the muddy playground
C．special way to show her love
D．smile on her face when running
小題2:From Paragraph 2, we can learn that the writer thought parents should _________.
A．a(chǎn)llow kids to do whatever they like
B．keep the presents given by children
C．not give too much care to their own children
D．not worry about the small things their children do
小題3:In the last paragraph, Grandpa’s words imply (暗示) that _____________.
A．children may find happiness easily in life
B．children care more about happiness than adults do
C．a(chǎn)dults cannot share children’s happiness
D．a(chǎn)dults should pretend to be a child

小題1:C
小題2:D
小題3:A

小題2:細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中語句“I realize that many times it is not necessary for us adults to worry about the small things our children do. Let them do what they’d like to.”理解可知。

“The only thing holding you back is yourself. Never say never”, said a rising 17-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, who was just an ordinary boy in Canada a few years ago.
After the accident of falling from the 18th floor and lying in the snow for three hours, my hands were frozen and my spinal cord (脊髓)was seriously injured. All the doctors and professors in the famous hospitals in Beijing told me that there was little chance for my hands and my body to recover (康復).
After half a year of medical treatments and recovering exercises, I could not make any more progress for over a year. What was worse , I suffered a lot from depression (絕望). On top of this, I suffered from insomnia, making every minute of the night seem to last forever. Hopelessly, mom and I came back to my hometown, which is small town in Guangdong.
At that time, I thought that I would never be able to walk again. I would never love and be loved. I would never be able to earn even a penny. I would never be able to repay the kindness I got from my parents and many nice people. Life was meaningless.
Now two years has passed. My hands are 80% recovered. I can even type faster than a healthy person! Up to now, I have worked for a law firm as an interpreter for half a year already. Although I don’t earn as much as before, I am able to pay for the food and clothes I need. What’s more, I even have extra money to buy thanksgiving presents for my parents and my boyfriend. Through my blogs (博客) , many people get to know me and like me. I can bring happiness to them. I can help those who are still suffering from depression and the pain of illnesses by chatting with them….You see, I am living a meaningful life and I am happier than ever I could have dreamed.
So, my friends, never say never. As long as you are alive, there is always hope and possibilities. It is never too late to take action to realize your dreams.     (382 words)
小題1:What’s the writer’s present job?

Read the suggestions for making an English speech.
a. Looking at and talking to one person in the audience (觀眾) helps keep you natural, but it feels foolish talking to only one person. Speak to that person as long as 15 seconds and then change another one.
b. The audience have a hard time understanding what they hear. They need your help. Slow down, pause(停頓) and guide the audience through your talk. Remember that you should help the audience understand what you are saying.
c. Make your voice a little lower than normal. Listeners like to listen to a relatively(相對) deep voice.
d. When you talk, try to be as natural as possible. Don’t try to memorize your words and read or recite(背誦) them to your audience. You can use short notes to help you remember the important points.
e. You should know you and most of the people you talk to are different in many ways. Some of them may not know what you are talking about. Then speak to them on their terms and in their languages.
f. Concentrate on what you want to say. If you are always paying attention to gestures(手勢),you will feel uncomfortable.
g. It’s true that there are some differences between American English and British English, but they’ll not cause much difficulty for listeners, so just speak the way you’re used to.
Choose a suggestion for each of the following students according to their problems.
小題1:Paul: I don’t think I can talk fluently(流利) because it’s difficult for me to remember all the words.
A．a(chǎn)B．bC．cD．d

A．a(chǎn)B．cC．eD．f
小題3:Amy: When I am talking, I can’t help waving(揮動)my hands, for I think it can help me express what I want to say better. But my classmates say I look funny and foolish by doing this.
A．dB．eC．fD．g
小題4:Betty: I know that it’s not right to speak fast. But I am afraid that I can’t finish my talk in the given time if I speak slowly.
A．bB．dC．fD．g
