At the time my son was born in 1956, I shared a hospital room with a young woman who bore a boy on the same day. Partly because my parents 46 a shop selling flowers, the room was soon 47 with the lovely scent of roses. As the seventh floral arrangement was 48 , I was beginning to feel 49 , for no flowers had arrived for my roommate, Ann. She sat on the edge of her bed and leaned forward to admire the 50 bouquet. She was a pretty young woman, yet there was something about her large, brown eyes that made me think she had known too much 51 , too much sadness for one so young. I had the feeling she had always had to admire someone else’ 52 . “I’m enjoying every 53 of this”, she said as though she had read my 54 and was trying to reassure me. “Wasn’t I the lucky one to get you for a 55 ?” I still felt uncomfortable, however. 56 there were some magic button I could push to 57 the sadness in her eyes. Well, I thought, at least,I can see that she has some flowers. When my mother and father came to see me that day, I asked them to send 58 some. The flowers arrived just 59 Ann and I were finishing supper. “More flowers for you,” she said, 60 . “No, not this time,” I said, looking at the 61 “These are for you.” Ann stared at the blossoms a long time, not saying anything. She ran her 62 across the pale blue bouquets and 63 touched each of the sweet roses as though trying to engrave(刻画) them on her 64 . “How can I ever thank you” she said softly. I was almost embarrassed. It was such a little 65 on my part.

I’m a 20-year-old boy, and the following is my story. A month after I graduated from high school in August,2007,I was coming home from swim practice in the training centre of the city and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital. I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn’t open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around.At that time,it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body,my dreams were completely destroyed. But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams. After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions, I had to make every great effort to learn to talk,eat,walk,shower,and live on my own again.When I was out of hospital,I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland.After I spent a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own.It was a miracle that I was able to walk again, but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but also run. When it came true, I wanted to get back into the pool again.After having a few lung tests,I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week.After a few months of swim training,I began my freshman year at Mary’s College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team. By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world.I am just trying to 1ive every day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is to them. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed,I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members.I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow,things would work out for the best. 小题1:The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph 2 probably has the meaning of __________.A.operation | B.unconsciousness | C.treatment | D.emergency | 小题2:According to Paragraph 3, it can be inferred that the author ________.A.was unable to talk or communicate | B.was in despair | C.faced physical and mental challenges | D.felt anxious about his state | 小题3:What is the correct order of the following events? a.went to outpatient therapy b.received membership of the swim team c.was pushed around to visit other patients d.walked 1ike a baby e.1earnt to live all by himselfA.d,a,c,b,e | B.e,c,d,a,b | C.d,c,a,b,e | D.e,c,a,d,b | 小题4:In the last paragraph,the author mainly wants to show_______.A.his positive influence on other patients | B.his meaningful life | C.his purpose of sharing his story | D.his great achievements | 小题5:The best title for the passage would be“____________”A.Attitude is everything | B.Actions speak louder than words | C.Everything happens for a reason | D.A good beginning is half done |
