“If I ran my business the way you people operate your school, I wouldn’t be in business very long!” I said before a group of angry teachers. I was a manager at an ice cream company that became 15 when People magazine chose our blueberry as the “Best Ice Cream In America.”
As soon as I finished, a woman raised her hand. To my surprise, she appeared 16 and pleasant. “We are told, sir, that you 17 a company that makes good ice cream.”
I replied proudly, “Best ice cream in America, Madam.”
“Sir,” she said, “when you are standing on your receiving dock (码头) and you see a shipment of blueberries of poor quality 18 , what do you do?” At once, I knew the question was a trap (陷阱), but I wasn’t going to 19 . “I send them back.”
“That’s right!” she raised her voice, “but we can 20 send back our blueberries. We take them big, small, rich, poor, gifted, confident, homeless, rude, and brilliant. We take them all! And that, sir, is why it’s not a(n) 21 . It’s school.”
All 290 teachers jumped to their feet and yelled, “Yeah! Blueberries! Blueberries!” And so began my long transformation (转变). Since then, I have visited hundreds of schools. I have learned that a school is not a business. For one thing, schools are unable to 22 the quality of their raw (未加工过的) material.

When our son Bradley was ten, the new bicycle he had received earlier that year was stolen. Owning a bicycle was a big deal to our children when they were little. They spent hours and hours, day after day, on their bicycles, riding up and down the footpath, and in the front of the house. We also rode together as a family a lot. Bicycling was a great way to get the kids out of the house and into the fresh air without spending any money.
Bradley had discovered that his bicycle had been stolen from our backyard in Campbell town, South Australia, when he and his sister went outside for a morning ride. He couldn’t believe that someone would do this.
He got a large piece of cardboard, painted a sign begging for the bicycle to be returned, and tied the sign to the letterbox. The following morning, when I went out to collect the mail, I found a white envelope (信封) with the magical words, “Buy yourself a new bicycle”. There was a $100 banknote inside.
We were very touched that someone had the heart to do this. We’ve never been able to thank the person but we suspect (猜想) that it may have been one of our wonderful neighbors. Bradley painted a big “ ▲ ” on the sign and we left it outside for a couple of weeks afterwards, hoping the kind stranger would drive down our street.
A delighted Bradley was able to buy a new bicycle. As the years went on, the bicycles became bigger and more expensive but remained just as important for those family bicycle rides. Now Bradley is 25. Sometimes I miss the days when receiving a bicycle was the best thing in the world to them.
All these years later we are still thankful for the stranger’s kindness. We were a young family with three little children and it meant a lot to us. We still talk about it and, even now, wonder who the kind stranger was.
( ) 28. Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4？
A. Thank you B. Come back C. A new bicycle D. A good boy
( ) 29. From the action of the stranger, we can learn that _____________.
A. love builds a warm family B. a special memory lasts long
C. a kindness helps others a lot D. happiness makes a better life
( ) 30. The best title for the passage can be__________.
A. A Rich Stranger B. A Bicycle for Bradley
C. A Thankful Mother D. A Banknote for the Family
(C)
It is dark. Holmes, Lestrade and I move towards the house. “Let’s wait here,” Holmes says. “We can hide behind these rocks. Watson, go to the house and see what they are doing. Make sure they don’t see you.” I hide behind a wall. I can see Mr. Stapleton and Sir Henry sitting at a table.
Then, Stapleton leaves the room and walks to a shed(小屋) in the yard. He opens the door and there is a strange noise from inside. After a minute he locks the door and goes back into the house. I hurry back to report everything to Lestrade and Holmes.
There is now a thick white fog over the moor(荒野). “The fog is getting thicker,” says Holmes. “This is very serious—Sir Henry must go home soon.”
Suddenly, we hear footsteps. They get closer and we see Sir Henry walking towards us through the fog. Then, we hear something. A terrible animal appears. It is a huge black hound(猎犬). There is fire coming from its mouth and its huge eyes are glowing(发红光).
The hound runs after Sir Henry. Holmes and I both fire our guns. We hit it but the hound doesn’t stop. It jumps on Sir Henry and pushes him to the ground. Holmes points his gun and shoots the hound five times. The giant hound is dead.
Sir Henry is lying on the path. We run to him and find he is alive.
I put my hand on the hound’s glowing face and find my own fingers glow in the dark. “Phosphorous(含磷的),” I say.
We walk towards Merripit House to search for Stapleton. In the house we don’t find him, but we find Mrs. Stapleton tied up in a bedroom. We untied her. When she knows Sir Henry is alive and the hound is dead, she cries, “Thank God!”
“Now we have proof, we need Stapleton," says Holmes.

It’s been said that life turns on small things. Sometimes it’s hard to see how small choices can change your life. But when put together over time, the little things can make the biggest difference.
The theme of Success for Teens is “Little Things Matter”. The book helps teens identify (识别)small, positive (积极的) choices they can make in their lives to help them reach their goals. Lots of teens don’t realize how the little choices in their lives can have lasting influences. Often they focus on (专注于) the bigger events, such as a major exam, a big game or competition, or choosing a college. The little things, however, can go unnoticed unless your teen understands how important they can be.
The little things that lead to success are mostly easy to do. Help your teen identify a few areas in everyday life where he or she can make small, positive choices. It might be as simple as getting up on time, prioritizing (按重要性排列) their schoolwork, putting in an extra 10 minutes of practice or using some spare time to help someone else.
Nineteen-year-old Kyle Freas used to be on his school baseball team and would play every day after school. When the season was over, he had an empty three hours a day, so he started spending one third of such extra time daily, looking for ways to help other kids. Over the last few years, his project has raised thousands of dollars to help abused, homeless and sick children. Kyle spent just a little time each day doing something that ended up benefiting(有益于) a lot of kids. The important thing to understand is that Kyle made the small and positive decisions necessary for success.
Make sure your child understands that even though the results of the positive choices may not be seen right away, they are building on each other and taking him or her on a path that will lead to success.
( ) 34. What can you learn from paragraph 2?
A. Dealing with big events is the most important in one’s life.
B. Little choices seldom have lasting influences one’s life.
C. Teens should try to focus their attention on big choices.
D. Many teens fail to realize the importance of little choices
( ) 35. Which of the following words can be used to describe Kyle Freas?
A. Kind-hearted. B. Creative. C. Brave. D. Confident.
( ) 36. Whom is the text is most probably written for?
A. Teenagers. B. Parents. C. Pupils. D. Teachers.
( ) 37. The writer mainly discusses the relationship between_________.
A. little choices and big choices B. teens’ goals and their actions
C. positive and negative decisions D. small positive choices and success

What do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It is important in letting others get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others, we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others.
Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same with your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements and talk in the first person so that people will understand you more easily. Finally, try not to say, “I don’t know.” This usually means I don’t want to think about it any more.
Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel or think to them, they will feel very uncomfortable at times.
In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people, but we’d better keep the balance between being open and not being too open.
Why to be open
● 54 others to come in, to speak and to share.
● Others will understand and accept us if they get to know our thoughts and feelings.
● Help us to fully believe in ourselves or others.
55 to be open
● Make outside behavior the same as your inside feelings and thoughts.
● Try to share your 56  feelings.
● Make statements instead of  57  and use the first person.
● Avoid saying “I don’t know.”
Suggestions
● Don’t be too open with people you don’t know well.
● Too much openness may make some people feel uncomfortable 58
