B Tim Richter and his wife,Linda,had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo,New York-he in computers,she in special education.“Teaching means everything to us,”Tim would say.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 Imagination Library,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,“as a reminder.” Five years later,now retired and with that brochure still on the desk,Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary.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 to Dollywood 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.” 5.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. 6.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. 7.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. 8.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. C Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home?People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight.A recent research has found a new recipe of success.According to the study,if the cat is adopted before the dog,and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats,a year for dogs),it is highly probable that the two pets will get along .Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. However,it wasn’t all sweetness and��light.There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes,while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes.One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.For example,when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression,while a dog doing the same signals submission. In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully,researchers observed a surprising behaviour.They are learning how to talk each other’s language.It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk’dog’,and dogs can learn how to talk’Cat’. What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence.They can learn to read each other’s body signals,suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected.Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language,cats and dogs can play together,greet each other nose to nose,and enjoy sleeping together in the sofa.They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理)each other. The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets–to people who don’t get along,including neighbors,colleagues at work,and even world superpowers.If cats and dogs can learn to get along,surely people have a good chance. 9.The underlined word swimmingly in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________. A.earlyB.sweetlyC.quicklyD.smoothly 10.Some cats and dogs may fight when________. A.they are cold to each other B.they look away from each other C.they misunderstand each other’s signals D.they are introduced at an early age 11.What is found surprising about cats and dogs?________ A.They eat and sleep together B.They observe each others behaviors C.They learn to speak each other’s language D.They know something from each other’s voice 12.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?________ A.We should learn to live in harmony B.We should knows more about animals C.We should live in peace with animals D.We should learn more body languages. D Cherish the Moments with Our Parents There was something in an elderly woman’s behavior that caught my eye.Unsure of her steps,the woman moved slowly,along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter.The daughter was rolling her eyes and checking her watch every few seconds. The older woman left the younger one and began to tick through the DVDs on the nearest shelf.Without hesitation,I walked over and asked if I could help her find something.The woman smiled at me and showed me a title on a piece of paper. Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman,I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it.Looking back,I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment.Her movements reminded me of my own mother,who had passed away the previous Christmas. As we walked,the woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.We found the movie and she told me it was the one she’d enjoyed when she was her son’s age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had.Maybe,she said he could enjoy it with his own young children. I accompanied her to the queue at the cashier.As the cashier put the DVD into a plastic bag,I went over to the younger woman,who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store. “Is that your mom?”I asked. I had expected her to tell me it was none of my business.But she rolled her eyes and said,“Yeah.”There was annoyance in her reply.Still watching the mother,I said,“Mind some advice?” “Go ahead,”said the daughter. I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing“Cherish her,”I said,“When she’s gone,it’s the little moments that’ll come back to you.Moments like this.I know.” It was true.I missed my mom still and remembered with sadness the moments when I’d used my impatience to make her life miserable. The elderly woman moved slowly back to her daughter.Together they made their way toward the store’s exit.They stood there for a moment,side by side,watching the rush of the holiday current.Then the daughter glanced over and slowly placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around her mother’s shoulders and gently guided her home. 13.The daughter checked her watch frequently because she________. A.had to wait for a friend B.wanted to buy a new watch C.was impatient to shop with her mom D.was uninterested in watching the DVD 14.From Paragraphs 3and 4we know that________. A.the elderly woman hadn’t seen the movie before B.the elderly woman found her son’s favorite movie C.the author and the eldly woman hurried to find the DVD D.the author and the elderly woman enjoyed each other’s company 15.We can learn from the passage that________. A.the author had treated her mom very well B.the elderly woman looked like the author’s mom C.the author scolded the daughter for her behavior D.the daughter changed her attitude toward her mom. 任务型阅读 根据短文内容,从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.
