1、 The other day Roy Price went "home" to his sister's house. It's her home now, but it's also the house he was born in. Pat, his sister kissed him and said, "You haven't changed much, Roy. ___自从上次见面后,我们有很多年没见了。Let me see now. When did we meet last?"
"Twenty-five years ago," he answered. "I was here for a week. Do you remember?" He added.___"You haven't changed much, either." It was polite for Roy to say so, but it wasn't true. Pat seemed almost an old lady.
___The next morning, Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked very different. There were lots of traffic signs on that roads and beside the roads, there was a new car park, a new post office and a new bus stop. He remembered suddenly that the bus used to stop anywhere-you just put up your hand and it stopped. One surprise followed another. The railway station was gone! The school was gone. A lot of farm machinery stood in the playground!
___But Roy's biggest surprise was the people. He didn't recognize anybody at all, perhaps because everyone seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. "Where are all the children and young people?" he asked the postmaster.
The old fellow looked up from his book of stamps. "Children?" he said, "They are in school, of course. There are three or four young families here. The children go to school by bus-to Horham."
At lunch Pat said, "The village looks nice, doesn't it?"
"It's all different, Pat. It used to be an exciting place. ___但是现在村子里满是老年人。I don't understand..."
"There are few newcomers, but the ones we knew are still here. You're also not young, Roy, are you?"

Every day, you can improve yourself by learning something new.

26、Happiness is for everyone. Maybe some people have beautiful houses with large gardens and big swimming pools. Some other people have nice cars and a lot of money. But you needn’t care about that. Why? Because those are not real happiness.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents will always take good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can find that happiness is always around you.
Money is not equal to (等于) happiness. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy,because you have something else that you can’t buy with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge (挑战) yourself. Life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
【1】Happiness is for________.
A. those who have large and beautiful houses
B. those who have nice cars
C. all people
D. those who have lots of money
【2】When you do something wrong, ________.

C. you will be happy
D. you will have no chance to challenge

B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C. You can still be happy even if you have little money.
D. A, B and C.
【4】Why do we say “Money is not equal to happiness”?
A. Because sometimes money doesn’t mean happiness.
B. Because money always brings us happiness.
C. Because we can buy everything with money.
D. Because only rich people have happiness.

28、 Just as a famous saying goes, “Reading is to success what water is to fish. ” Reading is very important for all humans. It can not only open many doors 【1】also lead you into a path of success. It’s quite clear that every successful person has a good 【2】 of reading. This is because reading is 【3】 important way to get the information required to understand something. For example, a good doctor has to know the latest development in 【4】 by reading.
Then, how can you develop an interest in reading? There is only one way. Let me explain this to you. If you want to learn how to ride a bike, you have to get on the bike as many times as 【5】 until you can ride skillfully(熟练地). It works the same way with reading. If you want to improve your reading, try to read as much as you can. When you finish reading your first book, take【6】 book and do the same. If you are going out, take a magazine, a book, an article or something 【7】to read. When you are reading, try to understand the message 【8】 the writer is giving to you.
So, parents should help to get their children to read as early as they can. Studies have 【9】 that reading to your unborn child is very good. 【10】 this way, your child will like reading later.
Reading is always a wonderful time. Good books are good friends.
29、I gave my first performance when I was ten. I’d been playing cello(大提琴)for two years at that point, as part of the music program. It was lucky that my school even had a cello, a very expensive instrument. When I told Mom and Dad that I was going to be a cellist, they both burst out ________. Once they’d realized I was serious, they immediately put on supportive faces. I was eager to get a cello at that time, but they could only rent(租)one for me.
But their reaction still hurt me—in ways that I’m not sure they would’ve understood even if I had. Dad sometimes ________ that the hospital where I was born must have accidentally exchanged babies because I look nothing like the rest of my ________. They are all blond and fair and with dark eyes. But as I got older, Dad’s hospital joke took on more meaning than I think he meant.
Then, it came to my first performance. Standing backstage, listening to other kids play the violin and piano, I’d almost ________ out. I’d run to stage door and hid outside. My teacher flew into a minor panic(惊慌)and sent out a search party.
Dad found me. “You okay, Mia?” he asked, sitting down next to me on the steps.
I shook my head, too ________ to talk.
“What’s up?”
“I can’t do it.” I cried.
Dad put a gentle arm around my shoulder. “You know that I used to get super nervous before a show.”
I looked at Dad, who always seemed completely sure of everything in the world. “You’re just saying that.”
He ________ his head. “No, I’m not. I was the drummer, way in the back. No one even paid any attention to me.”
“He got wasted.” Mom interrupted. “He dropped his drumsticks and puked(呕吐)on stage.”
Now I was laughing. I was still scared, but it was somehow ________ to think that maybe stage fright was something I got from Dad. I wasn’t just some foundling(弃儿), after all.
“What if I mess it up? What if I’m terrible?”
“I’ve got news for you, Mia. There’s going to be all kinds of terrible things there, so you won’t really stand out.”
So I went on. I didn’t shine through the piece. I didn’t achieve a huge success, but I didn’t mess it up, either. And after the performance, I got my present. It was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, looking as human as that cello I’d been ________ to two years earlier. It wasn’t a rental. It was mine.
