One day，I noticed the most beautiful Cadillac pull in the lot while waiting for my husband．A pretty female driver pulled into the spot beside our car．There was a striking resemblance to Liz Taylor．Her eyes were as blue as the sea，and teeth like an even row of pearls．A few minutes 1ater，a nice looking man entered her car，leaned over and kissed her and she drove away．

Sitting there，I wanted to cry．How could some people have it all?

Then it became almost routine to see her about once a week．She seemed friendly and always waved，flashing a big smile．My envy continued to exist long after she drove away．

A couple of weeks later，sitting in our usual parking lot，I was holding a book，watching her over the top of it．Her husband came to the car，took her arm and helped her out of the car．I could see very well as she moved to get out．She unsteadily walked around to the passenger side very slowly， leaning on a walking cane．Sitting sideways．she lifted one leg with her hands and then the other．The beautiful lady had a prosthesis(假肢) on the left Ieg and a brace(支持物) on the right leg．

I prayed for forgiveness all the way home．The lady I thought had everything I didn’t．I realized how lucky I was to have my parents，the ability to walk，run or dance through life and many wonderful things money can’t buy．I would not have traded places with the beautiful lady for anything．

22、David Rees runs a very distinctive business. He charges customers $15 to sharpen their pencils to perfection, using a variety of tools.

I know what you’re thinking—is this a joke? The 39-year-old gets asked that question a lot. To clarify everything, he even created a special section on his website telling everyone he’s actually providing a real service.

You can supply your own pencil or you can have Rees sharpen one of his own favorite 2B pencils. After that, he mails it to you in a display tube with the shavings in a separate bag, and an authentic certificate which just happens to mention the pencil is so sharp as to be a dangerous object.

To achieve the desired result, the master sharpener uses all kinds of tools, including general sandpaper, pocket knives and even a special $ 450 sharpening machine. “It depends on what the customer wants to use his/her pencil for,” he says. That determines the most appropriate pencil-sharpening technique. Some customers buy pencils as inspirational symbols while others buy them because of their special memories of classic 2B pencils.

$15 to have a pencil sharpened is a bit expensive though, right? You’re not the only one who feels that way, and David’s unique business has really angered lots of people, who talk of inequality in America, saying it is so insane for the wealthy to pay $15 to sharpen a pencil. But others will say, “This is just our urge to put an end to the welfare state because new ideas arise along with the business.”

David admits his trade is sort of unusual. But there are those who actually value his service, as is proven by the over 500 orders he has gotten.

【1】How could David make money by sharpening pencils?

A．He invented new tools for the job.

B．He provided quality service for his customers.

C．He promoted his skill on his website.

D．He saved lots of time for other people.

【2】What can we infer from the words of David Rees in paragraph 4?

A．He provides personalized services.

B．He knows all kinds of pencil users.

C．He values ideas behind the pencils.

D．He always writes in pencil.

【3】What does the underlined word “insane” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Deliberate.

B．Rewarding.

C．Unreasonable.

D．Irresponsible.

【4】What seems to be the author’s attitude to David Rees’ trade?

A．It’s a waste of time and money.

B．It needs further improvement.

C．It’s awfully expensive.

D．It’s a fancy service.

23、   Island life is one of those things you dream about. Here are four beautiful small islands to consider for your next vacation.

Washington Island, USA

Although with fewer than 700 residents, the island is home to Schoolhouse Beach, known for its clear water and smooth, rounded limestone rocks-one of only a handful of such beaches in North America. Tour the island on the Cherry Train, climb the lookout tower, or rent a bike and cycle the miles of empty roads. Retire for the night at the Hotel Washington & Studio, a landmark inn with a history of over 100 years.

Barbuda, Antigua and Barbuda

There’s a good chance birds actually outnumber humans on the small island of Barbuda. Mostly undeveloped and completely unspoiled, the beaches are famous for silky white and pink sand, stretching as far as the eye can see. There’s only a handful of resorts and restaurants, mostly plain beach bars, but make sure to stop by Uncle Roddy’s, which serves up cold drinks and some of the freshest seafood you’ll ever find.

Grand Manan Island, Canada

While you won’t find any palm trees here, Grand Manan still offers a relaxed pace. Connected to mainland New Brunswick by ferry, the small island is home to charming villages, and the Swallow Tail Lighthouse-the second-most photographed lighthouse in all of Atlantic Canada. Take a whale-watching cruise (巡游), surf on the Bay of Fundy (home to the highest tides in the world), or just sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Key West, USA

Located at the end of the famous Florida Keys, Key West has a fascinating history. Tennessee Williams is said to have written the first draft of A Streetcar Named Desire here. Ernest Hemingway spent many a night in the bars of Old Town, now a historic district filled by wood-frame buildings. Take in the island’s famous lighthouse, photograph some of the free-running chickens, then settle in for the daily Sunset Celebration on Mallory Square.

【1】Where can visitors live in a famous century-old inn?

A．Key West, USA.

B．Grand Manan Island, Canada.

C．Washington Island, USA.

D．Barbuda, Antigua and Barbuda.

【2】What makes Barbuda obviously different from the other islands?

A．The wild and unexplored beaches.

B．The great number of bars and hotels.

C．Cold drinks and fresh food.

D．The chance to play on beautiful beaches.

【3】What do Grand Manan Island and Key West have in common?

A．Travelers can watch whale shows.

B．Travelers can visit a famous lighthouse.

C．Travelers can see the highest tide in the world.

D．Travelers can find the village where Hemingway once lived.

“I’ll be right back,” Steller said.

Sitting down and having somebody look at her made Steller feel that she was a ________ and not just an illness, which helped her feel ________ and less alone.

After that, Steller decided to have her own salon so she could help the people ________ the feeling she’d had that day. Not long after finishing hairdressing school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, ________ out to people on the streets. Steller listens to people’s stories of ________, suffering, and struggle to get back on their feet.
