If I had a rose for every time I thought of you, I’d be picking roses for a lifetime.

——Swedish proverb

Each time she found a new 22 for a child, she gave the family one of her little homemade paper roses. It had become a 23 for her, and the families didn’t ever forget it.

One evening, Mary was 24 a meeting for adoptive parents. One of the 25 fathers stood up to introduce himself. But before he sp
oke, he reached into his coat pocket and held up a 26 , red paper rose.

“Twenty years ago today, I felt alone and 27 . I didn’t know the talents inside me or what was possible for me.”

Then Mary 28 two wonderful people into my life. They taught me what it was like to feel 29 . They not only loved me 30 . They opened a world of 31 that I didn’t know existed. My new parents told me, ‘Reach for your dreams!’

I did, and today I’m 32 to be giving that chance to a child who 33 just like me. My mother gave me this little rose. By now, all of you 34 where she got it so long ago.

Mary sent me a new rose just yesterday. And my new rose 35 a new spring, a beautiful new 36 for my own little girl. It 37 me to show her what unconditional love is, and to teach her to reach for her own beautiful dreams.

Thank you, Mary, for the special little things like roses that 38 our lives together. And thank you for all you’ve done for me and so many families over the years! ”

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，共50分）

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

I watched from a distance as the homeless man quarreled with those who did not leave money for him – the majority.

I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a quarter. “I’ll give you a quarter if you tell me your story.” He laughed, “You’ll give me a quarter for my story?” I lay the quarter in front of him and corrected myself – “Nah, here’s the quarter but it would be nice to hear your story.” I followed his eyes to the quarter and for a brief moment Isaw a glimmer of reflection. I sat down next to him and waited.

“I was in the army,” he said. “I was a sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down the enemy from the distance.” I listened carefully to his grizzly voice as he went deeper into the story. He wore dirty old torn clothes and smelled like a dead rat left in a mouse trap. He told me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food and not killing more than he needed. When the army came knocking on his door, he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting skills could now serve a larger purpose—to defend us from the bad guys. He set out to fight in Iraq. It wasn’t long before he realized his ideals and expectations were just a shadow of the truth. He became disillusioned with the killings, which he felt were of innocent people. “I was a sniper but I never really killed anyone,” he said. “One day I had to do it. They asked me to shoot this lady from the distance. I saw kids near that lady and my hands were on the trigger (扳机). Man, I was tearing up ... I couldn’t do it. She wasn’t doing anything to anyone and she was with the kids—I couldn’t see through my tears. It just didn’t make any sense to me.”

The story goes on as he describes eventually being put into prison for 180 days for refusing to follow orders. He told me how he was black listed so that he couldn’t get a job. All the rights we take for granted were taken away from him. Why? Here was a man who was being punished—and for what? For refusing to kill the lady? For being a hero? “I have no regrets,” the homeless man said. “I may be homeless now, but I never killed that lady. I never killed anyone in the army. It didn’t feel right. I didn’t go there to do that. I went there to save people.” He continued, “I can live with being homeless—that’s okay. But I wouldn’t be able to live with killing innocent people.”

On that lonely Friday night, I met a hero. It just never occurred to me that a hero could be a smelly old man left on streets.

A. never killed animals
