阅读理解    On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon(气球).They started early in London. The
headman was Auguste Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a
big balloon and they were ready for a long way.
   Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope(绳子),and it was hanging down
from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold
water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight(重量).It was for use over the
sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.
   After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metes, and the air was very cold.
The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men"s basket, and they could see more snow
on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the
icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they
had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.
   At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from
the snow. They rose to 5,100 metes! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to

     I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own
family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her
family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin. In my family, it was always important to place blame when
anything bad happened. "Who did this? "my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen. "This is all your
fault, Katharine,   "my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke. From the time
we were little, my sister, brothers and told on each other.
      We set a place for blame at the dinner table. But the Whites didn"t worry about who had done what.
They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the
summer Jane died. In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida
to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy,
had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new driver"s license(驾照),Amy was excited about
practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met. The big sisters shared
the driving of Sarah"s new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas,
they let Amy take over.
      Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the
wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn"t see the sign
no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large
truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.
      Jane was killed immediately. I was slightly injured.
     The most difficult thing that I"ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and
that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to
lose a child. When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a
room.   Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy"s leg was broken. They hugged(拥抱)us all and cried
tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls" tears and made a few
jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches(拐杖). To both of their daughters, and especially to
Amy, over and over they simply said, "We"re so glad that you"re alive. "I was astonished. No blame.
No accusations (谴责).
      Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a
stop sign. Mrs. White said, "Jane"s gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring
her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we
blame her for her sister"s death? "They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and
got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She"s also a mother
of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.

1. The author of the passage is _____.

A. Mrs. White"s niece
B. Jane"s school friend
C. The Whites" cousin
D. Sarah"s friend from college

2. How did the author"s parents differ from the Whites?

A. The author"s parents were less caring.
B. The author"s parents were less loving.
C. The author"s parents were less friendly.
D. The author"s parents were less understanding.

3. How did the accident occur?

A. Amy didn"t stop at a crossroads and a truck hit their car.
B. Amy didn"t know what to do when she saw the stop sign.
C. Amy didn"t slow down so their car ran into a truck.
D. Amy didn"t get off the highway at a crossroads.

4. The accident took place in ______.

A. Florida
B. California
C. South Carolina
D. New York
