More than you think!Langston Hughes began writing poems in high school and soon became one ofAmerica's greatest writers. Most of his writing is about his experiences as anAfrican American.

The neck offour-footed animals is usually long, to have them reach their food withoutdifficulty, but the elephant has a short neck, to make him more easily support theweight of his huge head and heavy teeth. His long trunk lets him get his foodeasily.The trunk of an elephant is to him what the neck is to other animals. It is also a nose to him, for at the end of it there is a empty place like a cup, and in the bottom of the cup are two holes, and the animal smells and breathes through them. It is an arm and a hand too, so that it has been said that the elephant carries his nose in his hand, and it might also have been said that he breathes by his hand.At the end of the trunk, there is a strange part, about five inches long, which forms a finger. With this finger the animal can pick up the smallest piece of money from the ground, and he has been taught to make marks like letters with a pen.The trunk of a full-grown elephant is about eight feet long.

Maybe before tomorrow morning he will throw a stone at you, or do a bad thing you will never imagine.”To Hill's surprise, his stepmother went up to him with a smile, held up his head and looked at him carefully. She then turned around to tell her husband, “You're wrong. He is not the worst boy in the entire shire, but the cleverest and creative boy.

In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing ImaginationLibrary, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation(基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire, “Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “a s a reminder."Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library. com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went toDollywood for a look-see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish, "says Linda. The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12, 200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I've never heard of."The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die, “says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left."【】16、What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A、His health problem.B、His love for teaching.C、The influence of his wife.D、The news from the Web.【】17、What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A、Give out brochures.B、Do something similar.C、Write books for children.D、Retire from being a teacher.【】18、According to the text, Dolly Parton is .A、a well-known surgeonB、a mother of a four-year-oldC、a singer born in TennesseeD、a computer programmer【】19、Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A、To avoid signing up online.B、To meet Dollywood board members.C、To make sure the books were the newest.D、To see if the books were of good quality.【】20、What can we learn from Tim's words in the last paragraph?A、He needs more money to help the children.B、He wonders why some people are so busy.C、He tries to save those waiting to die.D、He considers his efforts worthwhile.四、语法填空In the small towns of the United States in the 1._______(nineteen) century, the general store was 2______ everyone bought the things he couldn't make or grow at home.
