Hearing the front door open, I ran down to the kitchen and waited. I saw my dad come in, with the white
envelope in his hand. I had waited all day for this, so I reached over him for it as soon as he set foot into the
house. Angrily, he 1 the envelope on the table and said that it was nothing to get excited about, and that it
was just a piece of paper. I grabbed (抓取) it and ran upstairs. I wondered why my dad did not understand
how 2 I was to see my mid-year report card for my first year in middle school. I was really 3 by how
he refused to consider all my hard work.

wanted to run downstairs to tell everyone. Then I 4 what my dad had said-it was nothing to get excited
about. I wanted to share my happiness with someone, but felt lonely.

and my brothers, sisters and I would play tennis in the backyard all the time. I wondered when all that had 6 .
I just no longer took part in them. My school work 7 all my time and energy.
While I had been busy with my study, I had also built a 8 between me and my family. I was only trying

After a quick look at the ear, I noticed the Pennsylvania license plate (牌照) at once, so I knew they had come
from far away. The young man had his head partly out of the window and spoke to me as I moved closer,
"Excuse me, my wife and I are trying to find a room for the night and every place in the area seems to be filled
up. Do you have any suggestions for us where we might find a room?"
Well, that didn"t surprise me. After all, it was the busy time of the year for tourism. As he spoke, I noticed
that his wife was pregnant (***的). I told them that they should just keep searching (搜寻) and wished them
good luck in their search. The young husband didn"t say any other word and backed out of the car-park and
headed off. We also got into our car and drove home.
After a short drive, I couldn"t get this young couple out of my mind. Here they were, traveling in a different
state, tired, the wife pregnant. It was at that moment that my wife told me we needed to go back and find that
couple. We went back and looked for them. We even went as fat as the mountain. I"m happy that this story had

It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They
stood before El Captain, a huge rock almost 1.2 kilometers high. Mark had long dreamed to climb El Captain
when he was a child. At the age of twenty-one, he had fallen while climbing mountain, losing his legs. But he
never lost his love for life.
Mark knew he couldn"t finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter would be there to lend a helping hand.
They thought it would take seven days to reach the top. Now Peter climbed about 30 meters up and hit a piton
(岩钉) into the rock. Fastening (拴紧) one end of a 50-meter rope (绳子) to the piton, he let the other end of
the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt. He next reached above his head and
fastened a T-bar (丁字铁) to the rope. Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms
could reach, and began the first pull-up. High above, Peter let out a cheer, "You"re on your way."
For the first four days the two men progressed upward (向上) without accident. But on the fifth day, a
very strong wind began to blow, making it hard for Mark to hold on to his rope. But Mark kept on pushing up
the T-bar and pulling himself up.
It took them one day more than they had expected. But as the two heads appeared the group of people
waiting on the top went wild with joy.
Mark Wellman showed that if you set your heart and mind on something, no wall is too high, no dream
impossible. | | 1. With the help of his friend, Mark could climb up El Captain about _____ meters in height each day. | A. 300

B. pushed up the T-bar and pulled himself up
C. sat in his wheelchair and pushed himself up
D. held on to the rope drawn up by his friend | 3. Which is the correct order of the steps before Mark`s climbing?
a. push up the T-bar
b. tie the rope to his belt
c. hit the piton into the rock
d. fasten the T-bar to the rope
e. tie the rope to the piton | A. c-e-b-d-a
B. e-c-a-b-d
C. e-b-d- c-a
D. b-d-e-c-a | | 4. Which of the following is true of Mark Wellman? | A. He realized his dream without anyone helping him.
