We’ve got two dogs, Roxie and Cosita. My childhood memories are full of the cats we’ve loved, from my dad’s cat, Bandit, to our beloved white cat Cecelia, whose gray fur formed a perfect heart shape across her stomach. But since our last cat friend, Sunny the orange cat, died too young, we’ve been cat-less. The sudden loss of Sunny was hard to move on from, especially for my mom. This year, Mom finally thought she was ready for a new kitten. It was all she wanted for her birthday on June 16. “Roxie and Cosita need a new friend!” she said. In the week leading up to her birthday, something happened. She started to hear a kitten’s meow (喵叫声) in the garage. Every time she went in and out of the garage, she could hear the soft cries but couldn’t tell the exact position of the sound. She asked my dad if he heard it too. He only shrugged (耸肩). At last, Mom’s birthday was arriving. She kept her fingers crossed, hoping for a kitten. Over the past week, my dad had heard the kitten’s meow every time he walked past my mom’s car. One day he opened the hood (车盖) of the car, and a yellow kitten stared back at him. How in the world did she get there? And where did she come from? Dad didn’t know, but he fed the kitten every day, waiting for the day he’d give her to Mom. The little kitten was such a perfect birthday gift, and Dad even didn’t need to leave the house to find her for my mom’s happy birthday! When it came time to name our new furry friend, we took inspiration from a song famously performed by Wilson Pickett and called her “Sally”. 【1】What was difficult for Mom to forget? A. The young orange cat’s death. B. The moving of one of her friends. C. The sudden death of the cat Bandit. D. The heart shape across Cecelia’s stomach. 【2】What gift did Mom hope for? A. A new car. B. A little cat. C. A little dog. D. A new cassette. 【3】What can we learn about Sally? A. Dad hid her in Mom’s car. B. Sally was bought for Mom. C. Sally was named after a song. D. Mom received her ahead of the birthday. 【4】What would be the best title for the text? A. A new home for Sally B. My pet friends in memory C. My mom’s happy birthday D. An unexpected birthday gift |

If Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States，at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is. 【1】The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________. A.provide some key facts about Confucius B.attract the readers' interest in the subject C.show great respect for the ancient thinker D.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations 【2】We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________. A.have a great interest in studying Chinese B.take an active part in Chinese competitions C.try to get high scores in Chinese exams D.fight for a chance to learn Chinese 【3】What is the best title for the passage? A.Forgotten Wisdom in America B.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language C.Chinese Culture for Westerners D.Old Thinker with a Big Future 【4】The passage is likely to appear in ________. A.a biography B.a history paper C.a newspaper D.a philosophy textbook |
