A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston．They walked without an appointment（预约）into the outer office of Harvard’s president．But they were        by his secretary and kept waiting．For hours，the secretary took no notice of them，      that the couple would finally become        and go away．But they didn’t．The secretary finally decided to disturb the president，though unwillingly．
A few minutes later，the president walked towards the couple with a        face．The lady told him，“We had a son that         Harvard for one year．He loved Harvard．He was happy here．But about a year ago，he was accidentally killed．My husband and I would like to        a memorial（纪念物）to him，somewhere on campus．”
The president wasn’t moved ．Instead，he was shocked．“Madam,” he said，“we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and      ．If we did，this place would look like a cemetory,” “Oh，no,” the lady explained quickly “We don’t want to put up a statue．We would like to give a building to Harvard．”The president rolled his eyes and       at the couple and then exclaimed，“A building! Do you have any idea how much a building costs? We have spent over $7 500 000 on the campus building at Harvard．” For a moment the lady was silent．The president was        ，because he could get rid of them now．Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly，“Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded．Since their offer was turned down，Mr．and Mrs．Stanford traveled to California where they founded the University that bears their          ，a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about．

One day，some of the girls in our neighborhood started acting a bit strangely towards me．They      talking to me．After a day or so of this，I finally      what was going on．I'd said something to a（n）        girl the night before that she didn't like．I'd had a few       that night, and like everyone I sometimes say things that      severer than I mean them to．
Anyway，it seemed that the girl had told many of her friends，and now they were all      at me．They found a great      to think of all the other supposed“crimes”I'd committed over the past year．     they'd all really liked me before, suddenly they      I was a really bad guy．
This was a difficult problem．I      to get along well with these people and I liked them all．I didn't want them to      me because of something stupid I'd said when I was drunk．It didn't     much whether they or I was wrong．All I wanted was things to be      to normal again．
So I wrote the popular girl a note      saying：“I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings．I didn't mean to”．And that was it．The problem was solved．    ．the girls who were angry with me now liked me      than ever．They felt I'd done something      in admitting I was wrong and apologizing．
Learn how and when to      ．Often，the pride and stubbornness you hold onto by refusing to back down isn't worth the      of a lasting argument．An apology can      for healing a difficult situation．And often, people will think better of you for it．

Barefoot and dirty，the girl just sat and watched the people go by．She never tried to speak．Many people passed，but never did one person stop．
The next day I decided to go back to the park，curious to see if the little girl would still be there．Right in the very spot as she was yesterday，she sat with the saddest look in her eyes．
Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl．As we all know，a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone．
As I began walking towards her，I could see the back of the little girl’s dress indicated a deformity（畸形）．I smiled to let her know it was okay，I was there to help，to talk．I sat down beside her and opened with a simple “Hello”．I smiled and she shyly smiled back．We talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty．I asked the girl why she was so sad．The little girl looked at me and with a sad face said，“Because I’m different．”
I immediately said “That you are!” and smiled．The little girl acted even sadder．She said，“I know．” She looked at me and smiled．Slowly she stood to her feet，and said，“Really?”
“Yes，dear，you’re like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by．” She nodded her head “yes” and smiled，and with that she spread her wings and said with a twinkle in her eye，“I am．I’m your guardian angel．”
I was speechless，sure I was seeing things．She said，“For once you thought of someone other than yourself，my job here is done．”
Immediately I stood to my feet and said，“Wait，so why did no one stop to help an angel!?” She looked at me and smiled，“You’re the only one who could see me，and you believe it in your heart．”…and she was gone．
And with that my life changed dramatically．So，when you think you’re all you have，remember，your angel is always watching over you．Mine is!
People just passed by the girl because _______．

A．they pretended not to see her B．she pretended to be poor C．they never thought of helping her D．they knew the author would help her

A．Considerate． B．Patient． C．Helpful． D．Powerful．

A．The author smiled because he saw the girl was shy． B．The author had known that the girl was a real angel． C．The author believed that an angel was always watching him． D．The author decided to go back to the park because he was sure that the little girl would be there．

While watching the Olympics the other night，I came across an unbelievable sight．It was not a gold medal，or a world record broken，but a show of courage．
The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks．For one reason or another，two of them false started，so they were disqualified．That left only one to compete．It would have been difficult enough，not having anyone to race against，even though the time on the clock is important．
I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong．I’m not an expert swimmer，but I can tell a good dive from a poor one，and this was not exactly medal quality．When he resurfaced，it was evident that the man was not out for gold – his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle．The crowd started to laugh．Clearly this man was not a medal competitor．
I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time．Finally he made his turn to start back．It was pitiful．He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out．But in those few awful strokes，the crowd had changed．
No longer were they laughing，but beginning to cheer．Some even began to stand and shout “Come on，you can do it!” and he did．
A clear minute past the average swimmer，this young man finally finished his race．The crowd went wild．You would have thought that he had won the gold，and he should have．Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history，this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors．
Just a short year ago，he had never even swum，let alone race．His country had been invited to Sydney．
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold，or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors，it is nice to watch an underdog．
From the passage we can learn that the young man        ．

The crowd changed their attitudes because         ．

According to the passage，“it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means         ．

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

What’s the best title for the passage?

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．
Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on google．com．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius．“Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．
Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员） group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．
You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．
The writer himself felt surprised at ______．

The word “stew” in the 4^th paragraph probably means ______．

According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．

The main idea of the passage is that ______．

According to the passage，which of the following statements is not true?

However urban life strikes you，cities worldwide have been growing even more rapidly．Some of this growth has occurred in the developed world，but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World．Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countries
By the year 2030，for the first time in history，60 percent of the world’s people will be living in cities．
This is actually good news in some ways．“Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity,” says Marc Weiss，chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development，“ both for the nation and for families．” Industrial and commercial activities in urban areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the gross domestic product （GDP） in most countries of the world“ there’s the crazy notion that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them,” Weiss continued．“But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city．” For better or worse，urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities．Those cities will be bigger than ever．And yet，population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects； after all，Addis Ababa，Ethiopia，and Hamburg，Germany，have the same population．Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor．“City problems,” one authority points out，“mostly have to do with weak，ineffective，and usually unrepresentative city governments．”
The passage mainly discusses ______________．

According to the passage，in the year of 2030 _______．

In the author’s opinion，_________．

Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

The last paragraph implies that ____________．

All parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life，but any parent can tell you that it’s hard to let go of your children．That balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking．Years of experience means that parents often do know best，but on the other hand，the young，being less bound by tradition，are often more creative，more able to find new solutions to old problems．Revolutions are led by the young．
Good teachers make the growth of critical （批判性的） thinking easier in their students，only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers’ basic beliefs．Schools encourage parents to become involved，but are often embarrassed when parents have reservations about some of the educational methods being used．Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process．And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government．The rebellions （叛逆的）young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development．They are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent or not realistic in their demands，but their voices must be heard．
Good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities．Indeed，sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting，just because it is not accepted by authority．Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts，know as much as possible about he lives of their children，provide a good example，encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they don’t follow what is expected of them．But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go．
By saying “Revolutions are led by the young”，the author indicates that young people are more___________________．

From the second paragraph we know__________________．

In order to educate children well，parents should_________________．

From the passage we can learn that the author prefers ___________________．

阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的要求答题。
[1]We are told breakfast is the most important meal of the day，and dinner the most enjoyable．It is an occasion to socialize and spend time with the family．But what about lunch?
[2]In today's fast-paced society，few people take time to enjoy this midday meal．Most of us just rush right through it．We grab a quick salad，or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers．Sometimes，if there is a deadline around the corner，we just          ．
[3]The development of technology hasn't done our eating habits much good either．We are constantly troubled by e-mail，social media，and 24-hour news．Even When we do sit down for lunch，we are more connected to our hand-held electronic devices than ourselves．
[4]Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems，and many developed countries have put in place labor laws specifically regarding the lunch break．These regulations give employees the right to take a break during a long work shift，but it's up to them whether they do so or not．
[5]Frank Partnoy，a former Wall Street trader，says that employers should encourage workers to take time off for lunch．This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both individuals and society．Writing in The Guardian，Partnoy says that one obvious reason to take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some perspective．A break from work allows us to think strategically and outside the box．It also puts our daily tasks into a broader context．If we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues，we are more likely to slow down，something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and over-packed fast food chain．
[6]Despite these benefits，some employees might still be unwilling to take time off for lunch．Partnoy's suggestion? Make skipping lunch difficult：Employers could ask workers to fill out a form stating their reasons for skipping the meal．
What's the purpose of the text?
                                                                             
Fill in the blanks in Paragraph 2 with proper words．
                                                                             
Many developed countries have issued labor laws in order to     ．
                                                                             
List three benefits of taking long lunch breaks．
