It was September, 2003 and I was struggling to find work. Nothing  61   (go) well with me. I sat in the house and constantly worried I would spend the night in the street as soon as  62  ( I ) savings ran out.

I decided to find some volunteer work to occupy my thoughts when I  63  (tell) not to be employed. The first  64  (choose) of mine was the Arizona Humane Society .  65  (be) with all kinds of animals was the only time when I  66  (true) felt I had a place in the world. That was where I found peace at a time when I was  67  (frighten) and unsure of everything life was throwing at me.

I hadn’t been around horses for nearly 15 years so I found  68  was difficult for me to handle(驾驭) them. But  69  the help of other volunteers, I did well very soon. During my stay there, I had a great time working with humans and animals equally.

I believe the peace which comes from working with our animal brothers is something that can make the world  70  more harmonious place!

My uncle drove his car meet his friends. When he found there was still some time leaving before the train had arrived, he wanted to take a short sleep. He was falling sleep when a woman came and asked him the time. He opened his eye and answered, “Half past eight.” With a “Thank you!” a woman left. On a short while this happened again. So my uncle wrote “I don’t know the time” on a piece of paper and put them on the window of the car. A few minutes late, an old man came and woke him up, “Hi, young man. I can tell you that time it is. It’s nine o’clock now.”

When he was driving home one evening on a country road, he saw an old lady, stranded(抛锚的) on the side of the road. He stopped in front of her car and got out. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. He looked poor and hungry. He knew how she felt. He said’ “I am here to help you, madam. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Joe.”

 She had a flat tire(轮胎). Joe crawled under the car, changed the tire. But he got dirty and his hands hurt. She could not thank him enough and asked him how much she owed him. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the help they needed, and Joe added, “And think of me.”      

 She drove off. A few miles down the road the lady saw a small restaurant. She went in. The waitress had a sweet smile, and was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕) The old lady wondered how someone like her who seemed poor could be so kind to a stranger. Then she remembered Joe. After the lady finished her meal, the waitress went to get her change from a hundred-dollar bill. But she stepped right out the door.

When the waitress came back, she noticed something written on a napkin(餐巾), “I am helping you because someone once helped me. If you really want to pay me back, here ‘s what you do--Do not let the chain of love end with you.”

That night when she got home, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. She and her husband needed money with the baby due (预产期)next month.

When it comes to President Obama, most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha, however, has been kept a little more under wraps.

    The New York Times recently released（公布）a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:

    The girls must write reports about what they’ve seen on their trips, even if it’s not required by their school.

    Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends, and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.

    Malia and Sasha have to play two sports: one they choose and one selected by their mother.

    Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服) before she leaves for college.

    The girls have to eat their vegetables, and if they say they are not hungry, they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.

    While these might be shocking to some, Michelle said, “They’re not little princess(公主）. It’s just basic rules, boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”

    Michelle also mentions another set of rules:

    The girls must do their chores(家务), though the White House has a large staff (职员). Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.

    They must play a team sport, because it’s about learning how to play on a team, how to lose and how to win gracefully.

    …

    It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded（全面发展）as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules? 

28.What’s the passage mainly about?

A. The first family daily life.              B. The first family rules.

C. How to be good parents.            D. How to be good students.

29.What do the underlined words “under wraps” probably mean?

A. Secret.              B. Calm.          C. Attractive.          D. Public

30.What has to be followed after the girls’ every trip?

A. Emails.            B. Photos.       C. Homework.         D. Reports.

31.Which of the following is NOT True according to the passage?

A. The girls have to obey the rules only when they live in the White House.

B. The girls must do their chores though there might be lots of help around.

C. The girls must play a team sport to gain team spirit by working together.

D. The parents want to make the girls grow healthily as common children.

 “Farm to table” is the name of a movement that encourages people to eat locally grown food. The farm-to-table idea has become more popular in recent years. But there is also a movement that brings “table to farm”. Its purpose is to connect people to the land and to honor local farmers by creating a sort of restaurant without walls.

Its founder, Jim Denevan, got the idea for this kind of “culinary adventure (美食探险)”, as he calls it, ten years ago. He recently prepared tables for more than a hundred people at Briars Farm in Virginia. He and his eight-member team arrived the night before. Chefs (厨师) from a local restaurant prepared the dinner.

Jim Denevan’s brother is a farmer and he himself is a former chef. He thought that the idea of a meal served right on the farm made sense, though not everyone agreed.

“But I wanted to make the idea work, so I decided to cross the country,” said Denevan. “I went all the way across the United States and set the table on farms, ranches (大牧场) and beaches, and all the places where food comes from.”

“This kind of event connects us with a lot of enthusiastic (热情的) people, people that we can form relationships with,” said Matt Szechenyi, who operates Briars Farm.

The tour of the farm ends at the dinner table. The meats in the meal come from Matt Szechenyi’s farm. The vegetables come from nearby farms. Guests and local farmers sit together.

Annoica Ingram came with a friend. “The food is wonderful. I appreciate their hard work. I see everything they have to do to take care of the animals and make sure they are well-cared-for. Without them, I think, we’ll have big problems,” she said.

9. What is the main purpose of the movement “table to farm”?

A. To provide people with healthy food.    

B. To help farmers earn more money.

C. To honor farmers for their hard work.

D. To encourage people to work less and practice more.

10.  Members of the movement “table to farm” will probably not________.

A. make new friends                     B. walk around the farms

C. communicate with farmers              D. build restaurants for farmers

11. Annoica’s attitude towards farmers’ work is_____.

A. worried         B. grateful           C. doubtful          D. supportive

12. What kind of writing is the passage likely to be?

A. A travel guide.   B. A news report.      C. A diary.          D. Popular science.

Jack was so excited about getting a new backpack because his old one had a broken zipper(拉链) and a hole in the bottom.

Jack’s elder brother took him to buy a new backpack. There were so many cool ones. How would he ever decide? He saw blue ones—his favorite color.
