I had often 23 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 24 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David 25 .I can still remember he was always 26 a smile and willing to help. He always 27 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He 28 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 29 home.Weeks passed and the 30 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 31 before the holiday break. I smiled in 32 as the last of them hurried out the door.

If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.Rent（出租）a roomSpare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won‟t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.Make money during special eventsDon‟t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.Live on setRenting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed.

For whom the text most probably written?A. Lodgers.B. Advertisers.C. House owners.D. Online companiesBThe Coalition for the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the United States. It is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, and some of which fight for the passing of laws that would give every American the right to a place to call home. according to the Coalition's studies, of over two hundred million people living in the United States, up to three million are homeless—and the number is still growing since the late 1970s, fast rising house prices, large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession(经济衰退) have made it impossible for many Americans to meet housing costs. Sadly, this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and or unable to find new affordable homes. according to another research, families with children appear to be the fastest-growing part of the homeless population, making up 39% of it. The old idea of a homeless person, that of the single man who gets drunk all the time, is no longer true. A much larger part of the population now finds itself homeless. Even worse, once a person becomes homeless, he often finds it impossible to find a job, since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job application45. The word "address" in the first line probably means_________.A. talk aboutB. deal withC. fight forD. write to46. How many people are homeless in the U. S. according to the Coalition studies?A. 39% of the population.B. 200 million people.C. About 3 million people.D.

What is the main cause of the rising number of the homeless in the U. S. ?A. The passing of new housing laws.B. The fast growth of family size.C. The slow construction of houses.D. The ever-rising price of housing.CThere is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a littlewhisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot ,” And she didn‟t even go fishing.Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light ,the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold . As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy castle , any frustration (恼烦)will float away as gently as the circling water. It‟s just you and purple , pink ,white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony . If you are a new comer to fishing, Learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime‟s fun. For many, fishi ng is more than a sport; it is an art.Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long day‟s fishing. Set agaist a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland , the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland‟s mountains . Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains , and reaching its 1343-metre top is a challenge . But it‟s not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique . More than 900 metres high, on the mountain‟s north face ,lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic language “usquebaugh “ or “water of life”; and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland‟s best known drink: whisky.49.The story of Queen Victoria is to show that _____.A.the queen is rich in tour experienceB.the Castle is a good place to go in ScotlandC.tasting whisky is better than going fishingD.1873 is a special year for the queen50.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A.By giving descriptions.B.By following time order.C.By analyzing causes.D.By making comparisons.51.What is Ben Nevis special for?A.The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.B.The beauty of its surroundings.C.The water from the mountain.D.The challenge up to its top.52.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.B.To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.C.To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.D.To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.DAs a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. "Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route," he used to say, “and a story at every one. " One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read, "Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs. " Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $ 32,000.A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the ease.As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.I made a turn at the comer and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. "What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas?" he asked."The letters?""I guess you never knew. "" Knew what?""Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every year. "I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn't hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.53. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as .A. great chances to help other peopleB. happy occasions to play with baby chickensC. exciting experiences with a lot of funD. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies54.

The MailB. Christmas LettersC. Special MailboxesD. Memorable TravelsEIt is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.My daughter Carla‟s fift h grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a prefect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.You can use the same technique when you evaluate your child‟s work at home. Don‟t always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn‟t done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.57.The whole passage deals with ________.A. social educationB. school educationC. family educationD.pre-schooleducation58.The article gives us a good suggestion about how to evaluate（评价）your child‟s work athome.
