In the middle of the night, Peter’s wife suddenly fell ill. She couldn’t help crying, “Oh, my stomach (胃)! Get the 16 !”
Peter, awaking from a deep sleep, thought his wife was only having a 17 dream.
“Stop that noise.” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to 18 again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help! Help! I’m sure I’m 19 !”
Peter got out of bed and started 20 , but he could not find him any clothes.
“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was 21 ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my 22 stomach!”
As soon as he had put his clothes 23 , he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite 24 that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait 25 morning, can’t you?”
“No, I can’t. Go, go, go.” his wife shouted,“ 26 you will find me dead 27 the morning.”
So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters 28 he heard his wife calling him again.
“I’m 29 again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.
Hearing this, he started running as 30 as he could towards the doctor’s. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake 31 around.
The doctor put his sleepy head out of the bedroom window and said, “Er? Who’s there?”
“Oh, Doctor.”Peter said to him, “I’ve very 32 news for you. My wife 33 ill with a terrible stomachache (胃疼). I was on my way to bring you to her, but she called me back to say the trouble had suddenly 34 her. So you need not come. Go back to 35 now,and sleep well!”

Ellen Parker was worried about her health. She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath.
“I suppose I had better go to the doctor.” she thought.
She went to the doctor and told him her problem.
“I’m not at all surprised.” he said, “I know what your problem is.”
He examined her and then gave her some advice.
“If you don’t do what I say, Mrs Parker,” he said, “You will have a heart attack (心脏病发作). It could kill you.”
Ellen was very worried as she left the doctor’s. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and it would take time.

“I’d like ten pounds of steak (牛排), please.” she said.
“Certainly, madam.” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale (称).
“That’s just ten pounds.” he said.
“That’s big enough.” Mrs Parker said.
The butcher worked out the price.
“At S｜4.99 a pound that will be S｜49.90, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”
“Oh, I don’t want to buy the meat.” Mrs Parker said.

I certainly 40 why he was sad. I said, “It isn’t 41 that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be 42 to make you recover better…but we can do things 43 giving bear hugs (拥抱), which will 44 when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that I’d be happy to give him one 45 he could see what I meant. He immediately gave me a huge hug and I thought my own heart would burst with the 46 I felt for this sweet boy.
As the day was coming to an end, I was getting ready to 47 home. I turned around and found that standing there with 48 on his face was the little boy. He said, “My heart is 49 colors.

A few months ago I was at a bus stop in town in the evening. The bus came on time and I took the window seat. The bus was travelling by the seashore and I was enjoying the soft wind while watching the sea waves (海浪). After a few minutes the bus made its next stop. A young boy and a girl got on. They were standing on my left when the bus pulled off. I looked at them in surprise and realized that all the window seats were taken up. They could sit but not together. Suddenly a different wave passed through my body and my inner mind gave me the advice to get up. I got up and offered them my seat. The young lady smiled kindly and said thanks. I took another seat and we parted our ways. I don’t remember whether I got off the bus before them or not.
Months passed by. Suddenly one day while I was standing at the same bus stop waiting some time for the bus to arrive I heard a voice.
“Excuse me, Uncle.” I looked in the direction of the voice. It was a beautiful young lady.
Puzzled, I said, “I do not recognize you.”
She said, “Do you remember you gave us your window seat?”
Puzzled, I said, “Maybe, but what is so great in that?”
She said, “If you had not given your seat that day, perhaps I would have not sat with my
friend. By sitting together it helped us bridge a misunderstanding that had been between us forever. Do you know we are getting married next month?”
“Good! God bless both of you,” I replied.
The young lady again said thank you and went on her journey. I realized the importance of giving that day.

John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
Luckily he had a strong-willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son，you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.” She told him not to depend on others，including his mother. “You have to earn success,” she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”
These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15，to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words — as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.
While others discouraged (使气馁) him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by: “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” She also let him pawn（典当）her furniture to get the ＄500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.
It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind: “Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”
Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America — worth $150 million.
小题1: John’s father died in ________. | A．1922 | B．1933 | C．1924 | D．1923 |
小题2:John’s mother decided to move to Chicago because _______. | A．his father died when John was very young | | B．life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometown | | C．there were no schools for black people in their hometown | | D．John needed more education badly |
小题3: John’s mother ________． | A．didn’t believe in or depend on others | | B．thought no one could succeed without working hard | | C．believed one would succeed without working hard | | D．thought one could be whatever one wanted to be |
小题4:The story mainly tells us ________ . | A．about the spiritual support John’s mother gave him | | B．how John H. Johnson became successful | | C．about the importance of a good education | | D．about the key to success for blacks |
