　　Passage 1
　　（河北省衡水中学2010届高三上学期第三次调研考试）
　　Many times my friend June would say, “If I ever get rich, I’m getting a pletely new wardrobe and moving into a bigger apartment.”I thought of her words and her chances of being rich are about as good as mine. But, to everyone’s surprise, a few years ago June did e into a large inheritance(遗产).
　　At first June said very little about the money. As the initial(最初的)shock disappeared, she bee excited. June is a great believer in making lists, so I wasn’t surprised to find her writing down all the ways she would spend her new wealth.
　　As time went on, what had been midway down the n was now at the top. At last, I said to her, “You know, it isn’t necessary to spend all your inheritance at once. Take some time; thint it.”“I know, I know,”she answered with a little bit anger.
　　Then one morning June called. “I’ve decided how I want to use my new inheritance. I want to see what you think,”she said. This wasn’t something I looked forward to, but we had been friends so long.
　　As we sat, June spread a sheet of paper on the table. To my great surprise, she had written only two words: Charities(慈善), and Grandchildren---in that order. Though I had vowed（发誓）to iet, I couldn’t keep from asking how she e to this decision.
　　“Well,”she said, “I toor advice and thought about it.”She added, “Helping others means a lot to me, so I’m hoping this gift will help people in need.”
　　I interrupted. “But what about this big apartment you most hope to have?”
　　“At first it was hard, but it doesn’t seem as important any more,”she answered with a smile.
　　Then June moved her hand, and I could see a few words written in tiny letters at the bottom of the page. After having a look at the small print, I burst into laughter. June had written: AND one new wardrobe.

　　Passage 2
　　（湖南省浏阳一中2010届高三第一次月考）
　　Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students to begin at an earlier age. Robby said that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him on as a student.
　　Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions. But he just did not have any inborn ability.
　　I only saw his mother from a distance. She always waved and smiled but never e in. Then one day Robby stopped ing to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.
　　I was also glad that he stopped ing for the sake of my career. However, several weeks before the recital (演奏会) of my students, Robby e，telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part in it. I agreed, but I made him perform last in the program, so I could save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”.
　　I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s. Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age. When he finished, everyone was cheering.
　　I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. “I’ve never heard you play like that, Robby! How could you do it?”
