" Jill burst out laughing, but I almost 10 . After a while, I started wishing I could 11 Grandma in a closet. I even complained to my parents.

I was 19 of my grandma and hoped she would 20 know that I had been ashamed of her.

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day holidays posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas eve when I arrived home, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (装饰物) shining against the green of a pine. “Where did it come from?” I asked. “I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, such a rush!He just brought it in this afternoon…” The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the tree top crystal star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas. “It’s not like the one you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look for a good one. But I couldn’t be fussy (挑剔的).” “Don’t worry,” I told her. “It’s perfect.” It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect. 小题1:From the passage, we can infer that ______.

In 1977, a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a 19-month-old baby in a most unusual way. The author was Agatha Christie, one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world. In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar, near Saudi Arabia. Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness with confidence, so she was sent to Hammersmith Hospital in London. She was then only semi-conscious (半清醒状态) and on the "Dangerously Ill" list. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they, too, were confused by the very unusual symptoms (症状). While they were discussing the baby"s case, a nurse asked to speak to them. "Excuse me," said Nurse Marsha Maitlan, "but I think the baby is suffering from thallium poisoning. (铊中毒)" "What makes you think that?" Dr. Brown asked. "Thallium poisoning is extremely rare." "A few days ago, I was reading a novel called A Pale Horse by Agatha Christie," Nurse Maitlan explained. "In the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are described. They"re exactly the same as the baby"s." "You"re very thoughtful and you may be right," another doctor said. "We"ll carry out some tests and find out whether it"s thallium or not." Tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance used in making special glass. Once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar. Later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide (***虫剂) used in Qatar. 小题1:The one who first suggested the correct cause of the baby"s illness was _____. A.a doctor in Qatar | B.Nurse Maitlan | C.Dr. Brown | D.Agatha Christie | 小题2:The baby was sent to London because _____. A.she was born there | B.the hospitals in Qatar were full at that time | C.she was the daughter of a doctor in London | D.the Qatar doctors were not sure whether they could cure her | 小题3:As far as we can tell from the passage, Agatha Christie _____. A.had never met this baby | B.had spent a long time studying the baby"s case | C.visited the baby in the hospital at Hammersmith | D.gave Nurse Maitlan some advice on the phone | 小题4:It seems likely from the passage that the baby"s illness had something to do with _____. A.a dangerous pair of glasses | B.the water in Qatar | C.a harmful substance used to kill insects | D.a dead writer | 小题5:When the baby was sent to the hospital in London, her case was considered to be _____. A.an urgent one | B.quite a simple one | C.a usual one | D.the result of thallium poisoning |
