I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage(按揭), credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us 36 chasing the same thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell 37 I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56．I 38 the countryside for some place I could rent for the 39 possible amount. I came upon
a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road 40 the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was
41 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and 42 a corner to camp in.
The locals knew nothing about me, 43 slowly, they started teaching me the 44 of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 45 around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a 46 American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of 47
What I had believed in, all those things I thought were 48 for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place. 49 on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my 50 with my neighbors.
Four years later, I moved back into 51 I saw many people were having a really hard time, 52 their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to 53 a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in 54 if we hadn’t banded together.
The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about 55 we can all get by together.

二、阅读理解Reading Comprehension
A
No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job.
Let’s take a man we’ll call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with farming. H e planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didn’t make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows(犁), or any of the other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things.
Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plow right. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plow right invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plow right did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.
How did Mr. Plow right let people know what was doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plow right and his really good plows.
Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.
A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get people’s attention.
A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today’s world.
41．What probably led to the start of advertising? ______
A．The discovery of iron.B．The specialization of labor.
C．The appearance of new jobs.D．The development of farming techniques.
42．To advertise his plows, Mr. Plow right ______.
A．praised his plows in public B．placed a sign outside the shop
C．hung an arrow pointing to the shop D．showed his products to the customers
43．The writer makes up the two stories of Mr. Fielder and Mr. Plow right in order to ______.
A．explain the origin of advertising B．predict the future of advertising
C．expose problems in advertising D．provide suggestions for advertising
44．In ancient Egypt, a crier was probably someone who ______.
A．owned a ship B．had the loudest voice
C．ran a shop selling goods to farmers D．functioned like today’s TV or radio commercial
45．The last two paragraphs are mainly about ______.
A．the history of advertising B．the benefits of advertising
C．the early forms of advertising D．the basic design of advertising
B
Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised. “Barbara be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience,” How right they were!
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps y ou hang on there when the things get tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” When others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara Mclintock, a geneticist who won the 1983Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments.
We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, “Years wrinkly the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mellratl retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, long ago, told me, I never made a dime until I stopped working for money.”
We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-been”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow.
46．What is the passage mainly talking about? ______
A．Enthusiasm is more important than experience.B．Enthusiasm can give people more success and fame. C．Enthusiastic people will never get old.D．Enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life. 47．We can inter than enthusiasm is more important for a person especially when ______.
A．he is in trouble B．he is getting old C．he can do what he love D．he has succeeded 48．The author mentions Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ______.
A．enthusiasm can make people feel young B．music can arouse people’s enthusiasm C．enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed D．enthusiasm can keep people healthy 49．How many examples are referred in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm? ______
A．Three B．Four C．Five D．Six
50．Which proverb may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph? ______
A．A good beginning makes a good ending.B．Don’t cry over the spoiled milk.
C．Love me, love my dog.D．All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
C
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health, wealth and other
comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was sounded in nature, such unhappy persons would he the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize it had effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly all act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others: nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when ore becomes mixed up in their quarrels
51．People who are unhappy ______.
A．always consider things differently from others
B．usually are affected by the results of certain things
C．usually misunderstand what others think or say
D．always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
52．The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “______”.
A．have a good taste with social life B．make others unhappy
C．tend to scold others openly D．enjoy the pleasure of life
53．We can conclude from the passage that ______.
A．We should pity all such unhappy people B．such unhappy people are dangerous to social life C．people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness D．unhappy people cannot understand happy persons 54．If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit. the author suggests that people should ______. A．prevent any communication with them B．show 120 respect and politeness to them C．persuade them to recognize the bad effects D．quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes 55．In this passage, the writer mainly ______.
A．describes two types of people in our life who have negative effect on others.
B．give some examples to laughs at the unhappy people in our society
C．suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D．tells people get away from unhappy people and how to be happy in life
三、阅读表达
阅读下面短文,按照要求完成阅读任务.
One day I decided to plant a garden in our backyard, and my husband began to paint our fence. We’re renters, not owners, and were growing tired of waiting for the day when we would be able to buy something, so we began turning our house into a place we could call home.
We’ve also taken on new responsibilities: I started volunteering at the city’s animal shelter, and my husband has been volunteering for a nonprofit art gallery. Being involved in this way has given each of us an increased sense of purpose and strengthened our ties to the place we live in.
But it’s not just the things that you can add to your restart that matter. I’m happy to be able to help out an elderly woman I see struggling with her bag. I kn ow I’ve done something good when I knock on a neighbor’s door and let her know her car lights are still on. I feel I’ve done my part when I find a lost dog wandering in the neighborhood and return him to his relieved owner.
No doubt it works the other way, too. As we come to care about the place we live in, the people here grow to know and care about us. It feels good to know that when we’re out of town, our neighbors are picking up our mail and keeping an eye on our house for us. We’re delighted when a nei ghbor congratulates us on my pregnancy.
This symbiotic(共生的)relationship we’re building with our community is exciting and inspiring. As I watch new life sprouting up in my garden, I think about all the possibilities for laying down more roots to this place and growing along with it. And as I think about the baby growing, I am knowing we will be bringing a new person — a new participant —into this community, a community he’ll call his hometown.
