No one knows where the phrase "Indian summer" got started, we are sure that the phrase was wellknown by the year 1778,because Crevecoeur, an American writer, described it like this:"a hard frost(霜凍)follows the autumn rains. This prepares the ground to receive the snows of winter. But before the snows come, the earth turns warm once again and there are a few days of smoke and mildness called Indian summer."
There is a story about Indian summer that goes back to the very first settlers of the New World. The first frost meant winter was coming. Snow would soon follow.
The Indians, seeing the settlers preparing for winter, told them not to hurry. The weather would turn warm again, mild breezes would blow and the sky would turn soft and smoky. And so it did. The sun became hotter,and a bright warm smoke flowed over the fields and woods. The settlers, remembering the words of the Indians, called this wonderful period Indian summer.
But the Indians have their own stories about this late period of warm weather. One of their stories is about a god called Shawondasee.
Shawondasee was a sad god because he had lost the love of a tall and beautiful Indian maiden. The sad and beautiful story caught the imagination of the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In 1855 he included the story of Shawondasee in his poem "The song of Hiawatha".
The story goes like this: God Shawondasee, fat and lazy, lived under the dreamy and never-ending southern sun. He sent birds and wild geese to the north, as well as melons and grapes. He smoked a big pipe, and as the smoke rises, it filled the sky with dreamy softness, gave a bright shine to the water and brought the tender Indian summer to the melancholy northland.
There is something about this period of warm weather that gives people a lift and makes them feel warm and happy before the long snows of winter come.
61.Which season does "Indian summer" refer to?
A. Early spring.       B. Late summer.         C. Mid-autumn.        D. Early winter.
62.Which of the following best describes the weather of this period of time?
A. Hot and humid.    B. Warm and mild.     C. Cool and bright.    D. Cold and smoky.
63.The Indians' explanation to this natural phenomenon is that God Shawondasee_______.
A. lived under the dreamy southern sun         B. took pity on the homeless settlers
C. smoked a lot because of his bad mood       D. lent his smoking pipe to the Indians
64.What is the meaning of the underlined word "melancholy"?
A. Sad and lonely.                  B. Dreamy and exciting.
C. Soft and musical.                D. Warm and happy.

      A baby camel asked his mother, "why do we have such large hoofs on our feet?" She turned to him
and began her explanation.
     "The big hoofs are to keep us from sinking into the sand."
      "Oh!So why do we have long eyelashes?"
     "It's to protect our eyes from the sand."
     "Why the big humps?"
     "That is to store fat and have enough energy to go long distances in the hot desert!"
     "I see!"the baby camel stretched his neck and looked up at his mother."Then what are we doing in
this cage in the middle of a zoo?"
     Like the baby camel, I had asked the same kind of questions. When my blindness set in, I first
locked myself in a cage of self-pity and bitterness. I was tired of walking out of that dark cage.
      Heavens! What was I thinking? Those bars were self-imposed (自我強(qiáng)加的). Finally, eagerness to
leave it inspired me to open my ears to hear a reassuring whisper--I was created for much more.
     I broke down those bars and stepped out into the desert of life. I walked difficultly through the heat
with determination. And the hooves of confidence kept me from sinking into the sand of danger.
     Each time I reached another point on my journey, my eyes saw a whole new world with opportunities
to make a difference. Best of all, I was pleased that I was indeed created for much more! Bars come in
all sizes and shapes. But none can hold up the force of determination that breaks them down.
      Step back and peek at what bars limit you. Take a deep breath, break them down, and come out
into the freshness of a new life!

1. The dialogue between the baby camel and his mother is quoted to _____.

   A. show the hard life of camels
   B. encourage readers to ask questions
   C. introduce the topic of the passage
   D. make the passage interesting

2. In the passage, the underlined word "bars" refers to ______.

   A. the cage for the author to stay in
   B. the cage for the camels to stay in
   C. the bad self-imposed situation around the author
   D. something lying here and there in the desert

3. According to the passage, we know that the author _______.

   A. feels sad about the baby camel
   B. seems to like the mother camel's situation
   C. still can't recover form the bitterness
   D. once felt hopeless in his life

     A soldier named John Blanchard struck up(建立)a pen pal friendship with a woman, Sally Maynell,
who he had never met in the months before World War II. When the fighting began, their correspondence still continued.
     Over the next year or so the two got to know each other through their letters. Even so, when Blanchard asked for a photograph, the woman refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she
looked like.
     When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting - 7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York. "You'll recognise me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my suit."
     At the station a beautiful young woman approached him. She was wearing a green suit and was
everything that he hoped Miss Maynell would be. But there was no red rose. There was another woman.
She was well past 40 and had her hair tucked(塞)under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her fat feet thrust(擠)into shoes. Her pale face was gentle and her gray eyes had a warm twinkle(閃光). On her coat,
there was a red rose.
     He did not hesitate. His fingers gripped the small worn copy of the book that was to identify him to her. "This will not be love, but it will be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a feeling
for which I have been and must ever be grateful." he thought.
     " I'm John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me. May I take you to dinner?" he asked.
     The woman's face broadened into a smile. "I don't know what this is about, son." she answered, "But
the young lady in the green suit who just went by begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was a kind of test!"

1. According to the first three paragraphs, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Miss Maynell didn't think herself beautiful enough.
B. Miss Maynell didn't turn up at the meeting place.
C. Mr. Blanchard lost contact with the woman during the war.
D. Mr. Blanchard and the woman kept in touch by writing to each other.

2. When Mr. Blanchard saw the middle-aged woman, he probably felt a little __________.

A. disappointed
B. excited
C. indifferent
D. expectant

3. The "feeling" of Mr. Blanchard in the underlined sentence perhaps can be referred to as a kind of
__________.

A. friendship
B. love
C. brotherhood
D. memory

4. Miss Maynell set up such a test because she __________.

A. was too shy to see Mr. Blanchard directly
B. wondered whether Mr. Blanchard would keep his word to meet her
C. wanted to play a trick on Mr. Blanchard
D. wanted to know Mr. Blanchard cared more about her looks or her personality

5. Which of the following words can be used to describe the Maynell?

A. Beautiful but shy
B. Beautiful and wise
C. Young but sly(狡猾)
D. Young and amusing
