阅读理解

    Many people thought that U.S. President Calvin Coolidge always lived in the White House. However, he sometimes lived in the nearby Willard Hotel.

    Once, in the middle of a night, the President woke up to see a thief searching his clothes. Coolidge calmly spoke up from the darkness, “I wish you wouldn't take that watch.”

    “Why?” asked the shocked man.

    Coolidged answered, “Take it near the window and read what is engraved(雕刻) on the back of it.”

    The man read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidged, Speaker of the House, by the Massachusetts General Court.” He was very surprised!

    “Are you President Coolidge?” he asked. He had never thought he would find the president sleeping in a hotel!

    “Yes, I am.” Coolidge said. Then he asked, “Why are you doing this, Son?”

    The young man explained that he and two friends traveled to Washington during their college vacation. They spent all of their money and had no money to pay the hotel bill and the train tickets back to school.

    Coolidge added up the cost. It came to $32. That may not sound like much now, but it was a big number then. “I'll give you the $32 as a loan(借款),” the President said, “And I expect you to pay me back.”

    The young man thanked him. Coolidge left him with this warning: “Son, you are a nice boy, you are better than you are acting. You are starting down the wrong road. Just remember who you are.”

    It wasn't until after the death of Mr. Coolidge that this story was allowed to come out. It was first published in the newspaper Los Angeles Times. And the most interesting of all is that the President's notes show that the young man was indeed better than he was acting. He repaid the $32 loan in full.

A、By looking at the back of the watch B、By looking at the loan C、The boss of the hotel told the young man about it D、The president's wife told the young man about it

(4)、How did people first get to know the story of the president with the young man?_________.
A、From the president himself B、From a newspaper C、From the young man's notes D、From the young man himself

      I used to be an active girl. But two years ago, an English speaking competition held in my school changed me a lot.

      I stood on the stage(讲台) for the first time. I was so nervous that my brain(大脑) suddenly became empty. Not long after I began my speech, the hall turned noisy. It seemed that they were laughing at me. I knew I failed.

      From then on, I became quiet and always stayed alone. I didn't want to express my ideas in public, even in class. Every time I wanted to say something, I thought people would laugh at me. My friends couldn't understand me, and they left me, one by one.

One day, my science teacher asked us why trees in forests were much taller than those in the wild. "Ha, what a silly question!" I thought.

"There's not enough space in the woods for trees to expand their branches. Of course they have to grow taller than others. The trees in the wild needn't do that since there's enough space. " I said in a low voice.

To my surprise, the teacher said, "Yes, you're right. It is a competition. " My face turned red right now. I hadn't spoken for a long time, especially in public.

Then the teacher explained how tree s in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society.

      What's more, the tree that doesn't live in a crowd is just like a person who has no friends in life.

      I raised my head slowly and found the teacher was looking at me. His eyes were as warm as sunshine. I realized that I must stand up and face the truth.

Most people in China know that Confucius(孔子)was a famous thinker and educator in ancient China. However, few people know that he was also an excellent musician, too. He could play many musical instruments, compose(作曲)and sing without {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (difficult). Confucius once learned to play Guqin(古琴)from Shi Xiangzi who was a very famous musician at that time. Shi Xiangzi {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (teach) him a piece of music and told him to practise it by himself. After ten days' hard work, Confucius wouldn't stop {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (practise) the music. The teacher said to him, "You've played it {#blank#}4{#/blank#} well that you may learn something new now." But Confucius thought he hadn't learnt all the skills and couldn't {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (complete) understand the feelings in the music, so he continued to practise it. After some time, Confucius told his teacher happily, "I could imagine {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the composer looked like. He might be a tall and strong leader {#blank#}7{#/blank#} bright and deep eyes. This is the appearance of an Emperor. The composer must be Emperor Wen of the Zhou Dynasty(周文王),isn't  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (him)?" Shi Xiangzi was very {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (surprise) to hear that. In fact, the music {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (produce) by Emperor Wen.

This summer, when I walked into my grandparents' house with my little brother Frank, Everything still looked the same. Grandpa's blue 1 was on his chair. My cousin Jack was playing in the yard as if nothing had happened. 

" Let's go to catch fish!" Jack pulled out the fish net from the corner, Grandpa's net. 

 Last summer, I was holding the 2 when Grandpa asked me whether I could help him teach Frank to play chess. I said no because I wanted to catch fish. Grandpa had been the one who'd taught us how to catch fish, but then the 3 made him stay behind. 

 Now I wouldn't have a chance to play chess with him any more. Nobody knew how 4 I was for saying no to Grandpa. 

 When we reached the stream, we began to catch fish. Suddenly, Jack shouted, " Look! Frank is in the water. He is shaking!" We hadn't brought anything to keep 5 , so I had to send him home. Grandma was 6 to see a wet Frank. She hurried to take him into the room and 7 put Grandpa's blue blanket around him. 

 As I went to the stream again to meet Jack, I looked back at Frank with that old blanket. Something seemed to 8 me at that moment. Everything was just like before, but Grandpa was gone. 

I walked to Frank. " Did Grandpa teach you to play chess last summer?"I asked. " No, Grandpa   was too sick then. " he said, "I 9 him. "

" Me, too. " When I said it, I knew Grandpa was never gone. What 10 us was still there. It could be the fish net. It could be the chess. It could be the blue blanket.
