• 2．Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy.It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick，the aged，and children who have lost their parents，but also friends，workmates，relatives and neighbours whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
      Over 60 years ago，when a Cleveland man noticed that some people，such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed，too often felt forgotten and neglected，he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered.He did this by giving them small gifts.With the help of his friends and neighbours，he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October.During the years that followed，other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration，which came to be called "Sweetest Day".Over time，the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor，the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone，and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift.Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.
     Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious beliefs or on a family relationship.It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving，Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care，in a positive way.
  
  （1）Which of the following has little relationship to Sweetest Day？

  
  A．Visiting sick people of the hospital.
  B．Visiting children who have lost their parents.
  C．Giving friends small gifts.
  D．Giving flowers to sweethearts.
  （2）What do most people usually do to show their care to others according to the passage？

  
  A．They give money.
  B．They give gifts.
  C．They send regards.
  D．They offer help.
  （3）The underlined word "neglected" in the second paragraph means "

  ".

  D．Disappointed

• 3．There is a lot to learn about the creations of Beatrix Potter—not only is she the author and illustrator of one of the world's most famous children's books，The Tale of Peter Rabbit，but also a pioneering conservationist with the spirit of a scientist.
     "Potter grew up as the daughter of a wealthy Victorian family，but along with her brother who filled an entire floor of their large house in London with all sorts of animals，" said Anne Lundin，a retired professor for the UWMadison School of Library and Information Studies.
     "As an adult，she was a frustrated botanical illustrator and scientist.That field was not open to her because she was female，" Lundin said.Potter was urged to turn the charming illustrations and stories she wrote in letters to children into books.She wrote 23 books in all—a body of work that has inspired plays，ballets，films and an astonishing amount of merchandise.
     "The Tale of Peter Rabbit is probably the most famous children's book in the world，which was published in 1902 and has really stood the test of time.It's been translated into 36 languages.The parents and grandparents will share it with the next generation，" said Lundin.
     Potter also made a mark on the world through her land conservation. "In many ways，she was like Peter Rabbit，venturing into a world of adventure and risk.She withdrew from London as soon as she started making some money on her books to the Lake District and became an extremely important farmer and conservationist.She preserved and passed on 15 farms and over 4，000 acres，which were given back to the country as gifts in the 20th century，" said Lundin.
     "Even though she was born 150 years ago，she was amazingly modern—her embracing of the natural world，" commented Jennifer Blatchley Smith，an artistic director of the show Peter Rabbit Tales to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Potter's birth.
  
  （1）What helped Beatrix Potter to write The Tale of Peter Rabbit successfully？

  
  A．Her life and work experiences.
  B．Her specialty in animated（動(dòng)畫） pictures.
  C．Her success in becoming a botanical scientist.
  D．Her interest in animals in childhood alone.
  （2）What is Beatrix Potter？

  
  A．A botanist and artist.
  B．An extremely important farmer and successful scientist.
  C．A writer，conservationist and farmer.
  D．An artistic director.
  （3）Why does the author write the article？

  
  A．In celebration of Potter's 150th birthday.
  B．In honour of Potter's new contributions.
  C．In praise of Potter's spirit of selflessness.
  D．In support of Potter's book promotions.

• 9．It was the closing time of the mall.But there was still an hour's work to get everything cleaned up.It would be 11：00 pm after I finally got home.
      I hadn't even had time to have dinner.I was starving.My feet ached.My whole body，from head to foot，was filled with tiredness.I couldn't wait to crawl into bed.I had to get up at 5：00 am the next day.
      Things had been tight for over a year.My husband Paul's business had taken a huge hit.Without me taking my second job，there wouldn't be enough money at the end of the month to pay the bills，let alone buy any Christmas presents for our 15 yearold daughter，Marie.No one wanted to wake up on Christmas morningwith a bare tree.
      Even so，I wondered how I could possibly handle everything—I work fulltime at a day care，then I work nights at the mall，and somehow I do my homework for my college class，too.Not to mention what it wasdoing to my family.
      I barely even saw Paul and my daughter anymore.Marie was growing up，but a teenage girl still needs her mom.I worried about her，about us.Was she eating enough？Keeping up with her school work？
      I wasn't afraid of hard work or sacrifice （犧牲）.Everyone had to dig deeper these days and put in extra hours.I knew I was blessed to have two jobs when millions of people couldn't find one.How I hoped to quit my job at the day care and complete a degree fulltime.I'd dropped one class for a semester（學(xué)期）.If I quit that，there was no way I'd find the willpower to try again.
      Besides，wasn't I always telling Marie to keep hoping，keep working and never give up？What kind of example was I setting for my daughter？Suddenly，someone was banging hard at the back door of the mall.Then I went to the door and cautiously cracked it open...It was Marie.She had just finished babysitting.
  Paragraph 1：
  She smiled and held out a bag of food.
  
  Paragraph 2：
  I pulled her tight against me but the warmth，the comfort I felt went way beyond even the best hug from my daughter.
