She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. Outside, it was pouring so heavily.We all stood there just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. W

2、e waited, some patiently, others annoyed because nature messed up their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world.Her voice was so sweet that it broke the hypnotic trance (昏昏欲睡) we were all caught in. “Mom, lets run through the rain,” s

3、he said.“No, honey. Well wait until it slows down a bit,” Mom replied.This young child waited about another minute and repeated: “Mom, lets run through the rain. ” “Well get soaked if we do,” Mom said.“No, we wont, Mom. Thats not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she tore at her Mo

4、ms arm.“This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”“Dont you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said if God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!”The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I dare say you couldnt hear anything

5、 but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young childs life

6、time when innocent trust can be developed so that it will bloom into faith. “ Honey, you are absolutely right. Lets run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just need washing, ” Mom said. Then off they ran.We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars and they held

7、their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.You may lose your material possessions, your money and even your health, but no one

8、 can ever take away your precious memories. So dont forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories.1. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “ affirmation” ?A. happiness B. approval C. disagreement D. love2. What do we know about the mother in the st

9、ory?A. Her husband was cured of his cancer.B. She was strong-willed and considerate.C. She was in despair and pretended to forget what she said.D. Her daughter completely understood the situation her family was in3. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. The mother should not tell her c

10、hild about the family misfortune.B. Parents should act more bravely than their children.C. Parents should grasp every opportunity to influence their children to grow well.D. Children should learn to show gratitude and understanding to their parents.4. The best title for the passage might be _ .A. Ru

11、n Through the Rain B. Be a Determined MotherC. Wait in the Rain D. Have a wonderful experienceBFrom the health point of view we are living in an amazing age. We are free from many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. It is almos

12、t certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased greatly. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men, women and children on

13、the roads. Man vs the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people all over the world are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen. It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盤), h

14、is car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a mans very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as t

15、wo-year-olds and completely selfish. Their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving. The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to

16、 become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten. It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of hu

17、man life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievable lenient (寬容的) and even the strictest are not strict enough. A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some of the things that migh

18、t be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict

19、tests for safety each year. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a persons driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Speed limits should be required on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for ca

20、r factories, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stress power and performance should be banned. These measures may not sound good enough. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor

21、-cars. 5. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists. B. Thousands of people all over the world are killed each year. C. The laws of some countries about driving are to lenient. D. Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents. 6. What does the auth

22、or think of society toward motorists? A. Society laughs at the motorists. B. Huge car parks are build in the cities and towns. C. Victims of accidents are nothing. D. Society forgives their rude driving 7. What does the author mean by saying “his car becomes the extension of his personality” in Para

23、graph 2? A. Driving can show his hidden qualities B. Driving can show the other part of his personality C. Driving can bring out his character D. Driving can represent his manners8. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents? A. Perfect the road network B. Stricter dr

24、iving tests C. Test drivers every three years D. Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.9. The authors attitude towards the traffic situation is _. A. confused B. discontented C. appealing D. doubtful COne night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A

25、 car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other drivers eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking as I was. How dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put

26、 off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one anot

27、her. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.As technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, d

28、octors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are

29、 not ours alone to control. In my own life, Ive put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, Ive also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. so, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, w

30、hat we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.10. The author considers it very important _.A. to drive with a company B. to have personal independence C. to gain certain responsibility D. to share trust and cooperation 11. The author said that they

31、 depended on each other in the same way because _.A. the approaching car was very dangerous B. they both drove their car at a terrific speed C. he might be killed out of the others careless driving D. it was dark and the road was not wide enough 12. From the second paragraph, we know the author drew

32、 the important lesson from _.A. only one experience B. many similar experiencesC. a driver on a dark road D. many friends and strangers 13. The need for cooperation increases because _.A. peoples fates cant be controlled by themselves B. certain viruses can spread in a quick way C. terrorism can hap

33、pen everywhere and every dayD. the world has become much more dangerous 14. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has _.A. believed in ones own personal responsibility B. counted upon himself alone in everything C. had no trust in others good faith and judgmentD. had accomplished a ch

34、ange on his viewpoint of lifeDWhen I was fourteen, I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns（草坪）, and within a few weeks I had built up a body of customers. I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I had to remember not to cut down, by the things they lost in the grass or struck in

35、the ground on purpose. I reached the point with most of them when I knew in advance what complaint was about to be spoken, which particular request was most important. And I learned something about the measure of my neighbors by their preferred method of payment: by the job, by the month- or not at

36、all.Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day, he had no change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, on another, he was simply out when I knocked on his door. Still, except for the money apart, he was a nice enough guy, always waving or tipping

37、his hat when hed see me from a distance. I figured him for a thin retirement check, maybe a work-relayed injury that kept him from doing his own yard work. Sure, I kept track of the total, but I didnt worry about the amount too much. Grass was grass, and the little that Mr. Ballous property comprise

38、d didnt take long to trim (修剪). Then, one late afternoon in mid-July, the hottest time of the year, I was walking by his house and he opened the door, mentioned me to come inside. The hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a minute to adjust to the dim light. “I owe you,” Mr. Ballou, “but”I thou

39、ght Id save him the trouble of thinking of a new excuse. “No problem. Dont worry about it.”“The bank made a mistake in my account,” he continued, ignoring my words. “It will be cleared up in a day or two. But in the meantime I thought perhaps you could choose one or two volumes for a down payment.He

40、 gestured toward the walls and I saw that books were stacked (堆放) everywhere. It was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement.“Take your time,” Mr. Ballou encouraged. “Read, borrow, keep. Find something you like. What do you read?”“I dont know.” And I didnt. I generally read what was

41、in front of me, what I could get from the paperback stack at the drugstore, what I found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. The idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without appeal- so I started to look through the piles of book

42、s.“You actually read all of these?”“This isnt much,” Mr. Ballou said. “This is nothing, just what Ive kept, the ones worth looking at a second time.”“Pick for me, then.”He raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring me for a suit. After a moment, he nodded, searched thr

43、ough a stack, and handed me a dark red hardbound book, fairly thick.“The Last of the Just,” I read. “ By Andre Schwarz-Bart. Whats it about?”“You tell me,” he said. “Next week.”I started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disap

44、peared, and I was plunged into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. Translated from French, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. When the evening light finally failed I moved inside, read all through the nig

45、ht,To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience. It was my first voluntary encounter（接觸、遇到）with world literature, and I was stunned (震驚) by the concentrated power a novel could contain. I lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words. So the next week when

46、 Mr. Ballou asked, “Well?” I only replied, “It was good?”“Keep it, then,” he said. “Shall I suggest another?”I nodded, and was presented with the paperback edition of Margaret Meads Coming of Age in Samoa ( a very important book on the study of the social and cultural development of peoples- anthrop

47、ology (人類學(xué)) ). To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College. Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be, not a light-hearted, instantly forge

48、ttable escape in a hammock (吊床) ( though I have since enjoyed many of those, too).
