Never would I forget the other night when I came across an unforgettable sight while watching the Olympics. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a 36 of determination and courage.
The 37 was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. Two of them, however, were disqualified(取消资格) due to 38 starts. That left only one to 39 . That would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race 40 . I watched the man dive off the 41 and knew right away that something was 42 . Now I’m not an expert swimmer but I do know a good dive from a poor one, and this man was far from being a medal winner. When he 43 , it was clear that the man was not out for gold. I listened to the crowd begin to 44 at this poor man that was clearly having a 45 time. Finally he 46 his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few all-out strokes(划水) and you could 47 he was worn out.
__48___in those few awkward strokes, the crowd had ____49____. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to ____50____. Some ____51___began to stand and yell things like, “Come on, you can do it!” and, “Go for it!” He did. A clear minute slower than the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his 52 . The crowd went 53 . You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other 54 .
A man that gave his all -- knowing that he had no chance, but competed because of the 55 of the games.

Recently I fully understood that a little favor could really make a big difference. My daughter and I were, accidentally, in time to catch a falling heart just before it hit the ground.
It all started when Charlene, one of my co-volunteers at the library, asked if I could do her duty on Tuesday since her doctor appointment had been unexpectedly changed. I agreed, which meant I was home on Friday instead of volunteering as previously planned.
My daughter, Mary, managers a book store in town. Mid-morning, she called to ask me for help. Would I buy a fifty dollar gift card, birthday card, and cake for one of Mary’s assistant managers, Cindy?
Mary explained she had to call Cindy in to take the place of another assistant manager who was sick, but felt terrible about it when she discovered it was Cindy’s birthday. Cindy insisted that it was just fine. But that was not what Mary thought, so she gathered enough money from other employees to throw a surprise party for Cindy. Since neither Mary, nor any of the other employees, could leave to pick up the goodies, they were turning to me for help. Days later, Mary told me the wonderful rest of the story, “Cindy cried and cried when we surprised her. After the party, Cindy told us that her boyfriend had chosen that morning to break up with her. To top that off, she only had 26 cents left in her bank account.”
We were surprised at the series of unexpected events that took place in order to circle Cindy with love and catch her falling heart just before it hit the ground.
小题1:Why did Charlene ask a favor of the writer?| A．ShehadtoseethedoctoronFriday. | | B．Shewantedtocelebrateherdaughter’sbirthday. | | C．ShehadanunexpectedappointmentonTuesday. | | D．Sheneededtoprepareforherdaughter’sbirthday. |
小题2:What can we learn about Mary?| A．Shewasalearned careerwoman. | | B．Shehaduneasyrelationshipswithherassistants. | | C．SheknewCindy’slovestorybeforethesurpriseparty. | | D．Sheplayedthemostimportantroleinthiscircleoflove. |
小题3:Which of the following couldn’t be the reason why Cindy cried?| A．She had to work on her birthday. | | B．She had little money in her bank account. | | C．She was greatly moved by Mary’s care and kindness. | | D．She and her boyfriend parted that very morning. |
小题4:The underlined word “goodies” refers to_________.| A．Gifts for Cindy | B．Good stories | C．Close friends | D．Goods on sale |

A few days ago we – that’s me and the husband – took a cab to the station. Chat with the driver fell to the wrong of cyclists, and the misunderstanding of the road rules. So far as the rules of the road go, there seems to be one basic principle: when you are driving a car you hate bikes, when you are riding a bike you hate cars (and I guess walkers hate everyone).
There is an obvious difference of viewpoint built in here. It wasn’t until I started to drive a car (almost 20years after I had first rode a bike) that I actually realized that you could not see a cyclist at night without lights. In fact I now want to shout at late night cyclists without lights(like motortists once did at me): “You’ll get killed, sunshine, I can’t see you.”
The problem is that cyclists do ride headlong into danger. It"s not just not having lights. It’s biking on pavements (and so threatening to injure a load of innocent walkers in the process) and biking down one-way streets the wrong way.
I admit that I do bike the wrong way down a one-way street sometimes. My feeble(软弱无力) defense is that I try always to do it as if I know I was doing wrong. That is slowly, with an apologetic look on the face, and ready to get off at any minute. I can’t bear the guys(一伙人) (usually, but not always it is guys) who do it as if they owned the place, and at high speed.
So cyclists are not entirely innocent. But they are among the disadvantaged groups, because the bottom line is that a car or a lorry can kill a cyclist and not the other way around.
小题1:When did the writer realize the danger for late night cyclists without lights?| A．Not until she became a driver herself. | | B．Not until she had driven a car for 20 years. | | C．After she was shouted at by a motorist. | | D．After she was once knocked down by a group of guys. |
小题2:When the writer biked the wrong way down a one way street, she felt_________.| A．angry | B．guilty | C．innocent | D．proud |
小题3:Which group is most likely to face danger according to the writer?| A．walkers | B．passers-by | C．cyclists | D．motorists |
小题4:What can we learn about the writer?| A．She often took a cab with her husband. | | B．She has been a motorist for over 20 years. | | C．She used to ride a bike without lights at night. | | D．She often biked the wrong way down a one way street. |

Bertie knew there was something in the wind．His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s feet when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.”
His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion?”
“I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.
“No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “People will come to see him. He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would!” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.
Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he slipped downstairs, took down his father’s hunting rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come.
“Be wild now,” he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you. I promise I will.” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down the hill and walked away.
When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.
There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head.
小题1:Bertie’s mother was sad probably because she ______. | A．had been seriously ill recently | | B．had decided to send Bertie to school | | C．knew selling the lion would upset Bertie | | D．knew Bertie would hate to go to England |
小题2:In the last paragraph, the boy lifted the rifle to ______. | A．kill the lion out of anger | B．show his anger towards his father | | C．protect himself from the lion | D．threaten the lion back to the wild |
小题3:The passage intends to show that ______. | A．animal-hunting is popular in Africa | | B．parents are sometimes cruel to their children | | C．people and animals can be faithful to each other | | D．animals usually lead a miserable life in circuses |
