举一反三
I loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it when mother sat doing letters. Looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother,“But the desk,”she said again,“is for Elizabeth. ”
I never saw her get angry, and never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, and she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened and a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”, but she lived“on the surface”.
As years went by and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way that she did forgive (原谅) me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. It didn’t come.
It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to her.
I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, though she had never been able to. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside… a photo of my father and a one-paper letter. Folded (折叠) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
小题1:The writer began to love her mother’s desk ______.| A．after mother died | B．when she was a child | | C．before she became a writer | D．when mother gave it to her |
小题2:The passage shows that mother _______.| A．was too serious about everything her daughter had done | | B．was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter | | C．cared much about her daughter in words | | D．wrote to her daughter in careful words |
小题3:The word“gulf”in the 4th paragraph means _______.| A．deep understanding between the old and the young | | B．part of the sea going far in land | | C．free talks between mother and daughter | | D．different ideas between mother and daughter |
小题4:What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness？| A．She read the letter again and again till she died. | | B．For years, she often talked about the letter. | | C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in her life. | | D．She had never received the letter. |
小题5:What’s the best title of the passage？| A．My Letter to Mother | B．Mother and Children | | C．My Mother’s Desk | D．Talks Between Mother and Me |

It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up, you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu (流感) that’s been going around?
A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it’s usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.
On the other hand, the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine, the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.
Don’t worry. If you get a flu vaccine (疫苗), it can stop you from getting the virus (病毒). Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to develop antibodies (抗体). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies should help you.
The flu virus changes every few years. Therefore, there are so many types of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can’t help us against all types of flu. That’s why we need to get the vaccine every year.
However, good health habits may also help stop you developing a cold or flu. Washing your hands often helps stop you from getting viruses. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system (增强免疫系统).
小题1:If you have a common cold, usually you’ll feel better after ________.| A．a week | B．two weeks | | C．ten days | D．twenty days |
小题2:According to the passage, which is TRUE of the flu?| A．It first happened in 1919. | | B．It usually doesn’t give you fever. | | C．It is easy to deal with. | | D．It can kill people sometimes. |
小题3:If you get a flu vaccine, ________.| A．it can’t stop you from getting the flu virus | | B．it won’t cause your body to develop antibodies | | C．your body will develop antibodies | | D．your body will get a large amount of flu viruses |
小题4:We need to get a flu vaccine every year because ________.| A．we probably have a cold in winter | | B．the flu virus changes every few years | | C．the flu is very dangerous | | D．you don’t need to take any medicine after that |
小题5:The following ways can help stop the flu EXCEPT ________.| A．staying indoors | B．getting regular exercise | | C．eating healthy food | D．washing our hands often |

Droughts (干旱)are common in Kenya . Before ,they came every 10 years ,but now they seem to be hitting us more often and for a longer time .
We gave the droughts names :“longoza”was the drought when many animals died ; there was the drought of the “planes” because food was dropped from the air by planes; and one particularly bad drought was called “ man who dies with his money in his fist (拳头)”，because ,even if there was money , there was simply no food to buy .
I was born in 1951 in Machakos. From what my mother tells me , when I was 7, there was a serious drought . I clearly remember the terrible weather and the hunger. I can’t tell you how many times I went to bed without eating . “ I slept like that ,” is how we described it . I can’t count the number of days when “ I slept like that,” or describe the feeling of going to sleep hungry ,knowing I’d wake up and there would still be no food for breakfast.
My father would leave early in the morning carrying a little basket to ask for food on credit (赊欠). Each night he would return home around 10:00p.m. My mother would try to encourage me by telling me to keep the water in our pot boiling so that when my father arrived we could quickly cook any food he brought in the already prepared water . I would keep the fire burning and the water boiling , along with the hopes that we would eat that night. But my father would arrive frustrated and empty -handed. And I would sleep like that.

A game of “catch” is just two people throwing a ball back and forth (来回地). They might have baseball , or they might use their hands.In fact, playing catch is part of baseball to make you get used to using a ball and a glove. But any American kid will tell you it’s much more than that.
Playing catch is a time for kids to be with their . It’s a time when there’s nothing to worry about besides catching a ball. It’s a time when words move as smoothly as the ball itself back-and-forth, easy and relaxing. It’s an excuse to spend time .When you ask some adults(成年人) to the good memories of their dads, they nearly always say something about playing catch. Why? Probably because dads are usually very with their work. A catch game is a time that is only for one thing. This is a time when a kid has his or her dad’s attention. There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away you. For the time of playing a game of catch—your dad is all .
