Yellow River by the Qin Kingdom,itwas once called"River Bridge".It was not until Hundreds of yearslater,when Emperor Xuanzongof Tang Dynasty gave orders to replacethe bamboo ropes with iron

new space.I was in a meeting that morning and when I got back to my office,I saw a box on my desk.There was a note on it,saying,"Happy new office!"The person didn't sign it.I was so happy with that.I didn't feel like I should help anyone or that someone was trying to get something from me.In fact,I found myself thanking everyone in the office.It was completely different from what I did on the beach the other day.The water was coming in.Two nice chairs were about to be taken out by the waves.The owners were nowhere to be seen,so I moved the chairs again and again as the waves rose.When the couple who owned the chairs showed up,I couldn't help myself.I went over,pointed to the waves,and said,"A couple of hours ago,your chairs were out there.""Oh,thanks so much for pulling them in,"said the guy."We just realized they were out here and thought they had probably gotten washed away.""Don't worry about it,"I said,as I walked away.Then these words came to my mind,"You have your reward(回报)."Then I realized when I went over to the couple,I was looking for something.If they hadn't shown anything after I told what I had done,it would have upset me.In our life,people who show their good deeds(行为)are always looking for a reward and they resent those who don't celebrate their generosity(慷慨).However,when we experience the pleasure of giving without letting the othersknow,we do more than show kindness.We're just giving to communicate an invaluable message,"You're loved.You're important to someone and it has nothing to do with what you can give in return."19．How did the

text?A．Give without expecting anything in return.B．Show love to someone important to you.C．Show kindness to those who dislike you.D．Do what we can to help more people.阅读理解The teacher who did the most to encourage me was,as it happened,my aunt.She was Myrtle C.Manigault,the wife of my mother's brother Bill.She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden,New Jersey.During my childhood and youth,Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect(方面)of my potential（潜能）,without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females.I liked to sing;she listened to my voice and pronounced it good.I couldn't dance;she taught me the basic dancing steps.She took me to the theatre—not just children's theatre but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me.I had books at home,but they were all serious classics.Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor,and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy&Mehitabel through her.Most importantly,perhaps,Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication.A writer herself for one of the black newspapers,she suggested my name to the editor as a"youth columnist".My column,begun when I was fourteen,was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material,the discipline of meeting deadlines,and,after graduation from college six years later,a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her"favouriteniece".Like a diamond,she has reflected a bright,multifaceted(多面的)image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.23．Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood andyouth?A．She lent her some serious classics.B．She developed her taste for music.C．She discoveredher talent for dancing.D．She introduced her to adult plays.24．What does Archyand Mehitabel in Paragraph3probably refer to?A．A book ofgreat fun.B．A writer of high fame.C．A serious masterpiece.D．A heartbreaking play.25．Why did Aunt Myrtle recommended（推荐）the author to a newspaper editor?A．Because Aunt Myrtle wanted to develop the author'sabilities for writing.B．Because Aunt Myrtle wanted togive the author a chance to collect material.C．Because Aunt Myrtle wanted to encouragethe authorto joinin teenage socialactivities.D．Because Aunt Myrtle wanted tooffer the authora series of writing jobs.26．We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who____.A．trained pupils to be intelligent and well-organizedB．gave pupils confidence in exploring their potentialC．emphasized(强调)what was practical or possible for pupilsD．helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning阅读理解There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product,the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured（度量）.The worker who gets a rise,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast(与...相反),the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since it is a journey and not the specific signposts（路标）or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself,but the attitudes, feelings people have,and their caution or courage,as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties.In this process,the journey never really ends；thereare always new ways to experience the world,new ideas to try,new challenges to accept.In order to grow,to travel new roads,people need to have a willingness to take risks,to face the unknown,and to accept the possibility that they may"fail"at first.How do we see our ability to grow?Do we see ourselves as quick and curious?If so,we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we're shy and indecisive?Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate,to move slowly and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe.Do we think we are slow to adapt(适应)change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge?Then we are likely to take a more passive（被动）role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity(不安全)and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we protect ourselves too much,then we stop growing.We become trapped（困住）inside a shell(外壳)of our own making.27．Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing?A．Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges．B．Jane won the first prize in the speech competition．C．Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris．D．Father's salary rose from5,000to7,000．28．For personal growth,the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT____．A．being curious about more changesB．being quick in self-adaptationC．having an open mind to new experiencesD．staying away from failures and challenges29．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．It is not so easy to measure personal growth.B．To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable.C．There are only two ways to see a person's growth.D．If you are too shy to take any risks in life,you cannot grow up.30．The best title for this passage should be____.A．Facing New Challenges B．Growth—Product or ProcessC．Two Basic Ways of Growth D．Overcoming Internal Fears阅卷人三、任务型阅读:下面文章有五处需要添加小标题。
