When faced with difficult situations in their lives, many people find them too challenging and give up, especially on their life dreams. But not for Gabriel Heredia.
Gabrrel is a 21-year-old Argentinean barber（阿根廷理发师）who was born without hands. But he was able to grow up happy and independent because he always had the support of friends and family.

Although he first saw it as an interest, Gabriel quickly decided that this was his dream job. Gabriel's family soon helped him open his first barbershop in San Isidro, Peru, which he worked at for one and a half years. There, he met Zlatan Gomez, the president of Argentina Corta, an organization for barbers to connect, do charity (慈善) work, and teach hairdressing. Later, Gabriel became part of Argentina Corta, offering his services to people of all ages so they can build up the skills they need to get a job.
Gabriel then moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina where he cuts hair today. As a bright and caring young man, Gabriel tries hard to not only be a barber, but also make a connection with the neighborhood. He says, \"The thing that I like the most about my job is that people feel comfortable and stylish with my cuts and that makes me feel happy.\"

Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50.In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340, 000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.The researchers asked questions about emotions, like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental（气质） or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults
between the ages of 24 and 25.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. So they spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected with changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed（被解雇） or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect（影响） the levels of happiness.
（1）Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage? A. Those who are worried about getting old. B. Those who are single and unemployed. C. Those who feel unhappy all the time. D. Those who suffer from mental stress.
（2）When may people have the highest level of stress?
A. At the age of 20. B. At the age of 25. C. At the age of 35. D. At the age of 40. （3）According to Arthur Stone's idea, old people may . A. control their behaviors better B. know how to spend money wisely C. dream about good things every day D. have a positive attitude towards their life
（4）What would be the best title for this passage? A. The Younger, the Happier B. The Young Are Happier than the Old C. Getting Older Means Getting Happier D. Women Are Easier to Be Happy in Life 【答案】 （1）A （2）B （3）D （4）C

“Please take my penny,” said Maggie to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets.
Her brother Andrew drew her back, whispering, “Maggie, he is not a beggar (乞丐)!” But Maggie paid no attention. “Please take it,” she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little miss,” he said, “It is kindly meant.”
After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired. She sat down on a rock. Soon she was scared because the sea water was going up. She wanted to go home, but she found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up. The stones were wet and smooth. What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried.
Luckily, Dan's large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! Rover raised his loud bark. The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (悬崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover was in trouble, so he looked over. There he saw it all.
“Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!” he cried, and he hurried to his sons' rooms.
“Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Get to the boat, and row fast to the sea. There is a poor child there just waiting to be helped.” The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out to give her into her mother's arms.
“It was the penny that did it, madam,” he said to Mrs. Weston later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny. And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day.”
Some years later, Rover came to Maggie's home with a little note, in which was written—“Will Maggie help Rover?—his master is dead.” （1）Who rowed Maggie to land safely?

【解析】【分析】这是一篇以麦姬的硬币引发的感人故事。最初善良的麦姬以为老渔夫是乞丐送给了他一便士硬币，当麦姬在海滩上遇到危险时，渔夫的狗罗孚及时“呼救”，在老渔夫儿子的帮助下才脱离了险境。最后，老渔夫临去世前又把狗托付给麦姬收养，诠释了当施恩于别人的时候，也会得到别人的恩赐与帮助的道理。
（1）C细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的句子“Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Get to the boat, and row fast to the sea. Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out to give her into her mother's arms.可知，是丹的儿子把麦姬成功解救出来！答案为C。
（2）C细节推理题。根据短文最后一句“Will Maggie help Rover?—his master is dead.”老渔夫丹一直与他的狗罗孚生活在一起，直到他临去世前把狗托付给麦姬，麦姬的硬币感动了渔夫，渔夫的狗罗孚也在麦姬遇到危险时帮助了她，麦姬不接纳罗孚显然不合理，A答案不正确，故正确答案C。
（3）A主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，最初善良的麦姬以为老渔夫是乞丐送给了他一便士硬币，当麦姬在海滩上遇到危险时，渔夫的狗罗孚及时“呼救”，在老渔夫儿子的帮助下才脱离了险境。诠释了当施恩于别人的时候，也会得到别人的恩赐与帮助的道理。故答案A最符合题意。
（4）D标题归纳题。纵观全文可以发现，是麦姬给老渔夫丹的一便士硬币引出了这个感人的故事。故D答案最合理。
【点评】第3小题是考查作者的写作意图，适合用捕捉主旨大意来解题。所谓主旨大意，
也就是文章的中心思想，主题思想，中心观点，它常常针对文章的主题，作者的写作意图，文章段落的中心思想进行提问，这类题也叫归纳概括题。做这道题时，必须在通读全文的基础上，准确把握短文的主旨大意，作者传递着一种“善有善报”的思想，诠释了当施恩于别人的时候，也会得到别人的恩赐与帮助的道理。故A答案最符合题意。

A doctor entered the hospital hurriedly after being called in for an important surgery(外科手术).He found the boy's father in the hall waiting worriedly.

The doctor smiled and said, \"I am sorry. I wasn't in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now, I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work.\"
\"Calm down？！What if your son was in this room right now？Would you calm down？If your own son dies while waiting for a doctor, then what will you do？\"said the father angrily. The doctor smiled again and replied, \"We will do our best and you should also pray for your son's healthy life.\"
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happily, \"Thank goodness！Your son is saved！\"And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running by saying, \"If you have any questions, ask the nurse.\"
\"Couldn't he wait some minutes so that I can ask about my son's state？\"shouted the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

10．阅读理解
Did you take part in a camp this summer? There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research. Maybe you've never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals—opportunity, challenge and growth.
Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids don't have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism (新闻) camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous journalists there.
Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in dealing with the challenge. Then you will have a sense of achievement. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate (证书) to become a real lifeguard.
This also leads to the third and most important goal of very great summer camp—personal growth. It doesn't mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn't know or believe you could do
before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.
So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: Is it a special opportunity? Is it a challenge? Will I grow?
