| 阅读理解 | Living an Adventurous Life
Nearly ten years ago, I was told that I had a brain tumor (瘤), and this experience changed my
attitude about adventure forever. I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were over.
I did not have a brain tumor, it turned out, but rather multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症), which meant
that, although they were not over, the nature of my adventures could have to change.
Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event, something that I might not have had. Each gesture that
I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention: buttoning my shirt, changing a
light bulb, walking down stairs. I might not be able to do it this time. If I could not delight in them, they
would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity.
I admire the grand adventures of others. I read about them with interest. With Peter Matthiessen I
have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain. I have walked with Annie Dillard up, down,
into, and across Tinker Creek in all seasons. David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine
coast, and Ed Abbey has rowed me down the Colorado River. I enjoy the adventures of these
courageous figures, who can strike out on difficult trips - 2 miles, 250 miles, 3000 miles - ready to bear
cold and tiredness, indeed not just to bear but to celebrate.
But as for me, I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read. Some days I don"t
even make it to the backyard. And yet I"m unwilling to give up the adventurous life, the difficulty of it,
even the pain, the anxiety and fear, and the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more
attractive.
I refine adventure, make it smaller and smaller. And now, whether I am moving on my hands and
knees across the dining room to help my cat, lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of
sadness, gathering flowers from the garden, meeting a friend for lunch, I am always having the adventures
that are mine to have. | | 1. Which of the following is TRUE about the author"s reaction after the illness? | A. The author is drowned in anger and self-pity.

D. bit | I"d just got in a taxi at the railway station when suddenly I found one of my suitcases missing. Just then, I saw a young fellow about 30 walking away with it, opening it and drawing out the valuables. "Stop thief! Stop thief!" I shouted and threw open the car door and rushed out to him, followed by the driver and half
a dozen passers-by. Very soon the thief was cornered at the turn of the road. My driver caught the thief
by the neck and put his hand into his trouser pocket, drawing out money, credit card, telephone book
and so on and put them back into my suitcase.
Half an hour later, the car was running at full speed on the express highway. I sat back and breathed
a long sigh of relief (松口气). But as I pulled out those stolen things from the suitcase and started to
check them, I became dumbfounded (惊呆了). Before my eyes were 200 yuan instead of 100. And a
blood test report of a 58-year-old woman appeared. I suddenly  realized that the taxi driver must have
mistaken the thief"s belongs and put his into my suitcase. The pitiful and begging look of the poor young
man flashed across my mind again. My heart began to sink.
Two years has passed since then. But this event keeps coming back to me. Was the young man a
habitual robber or a dutiful son who had been driven to desperation (铤而走险) to find money to save
his mother"s life? My heart aches for him. How I wish I had gone back that summer afternoon to return
the 200 yuan and say sorry to him. For the first time in my life, I realized that hate and love are very close. | | 1. Why was the writer dumbfounded when he opened his suitcase? | A. Because he was now searching a different suitcase.
B. His own blood test report has changed into an old woman"s.
C. An old woman had put her savings into his suitcase.
D. He was facing things that did not belong to himself. | | 2. What was one of the reasons for the young man to steal in the writer"s opinion? | A. The young man was a born thief.
B .The young man couldn"t afford to pay for his old mother"s medical treatment.
C. The young man"s mother asked him to do so.
D. Young people are likely to steal when they are poor. | | 3. What does the writer really mean by "hate and love are very close"? | A. Sometimes you hate a person but soon the feeling completely changes.
B. People easily love and hate others.
C. Human beings are always a mixture of different feeling.
D. Don"t always hate others. | | 4. The major purpose for the writer to write this passage is ______. | A. to describe what hate and love are like

toy…" Everything seemed so bad to him. But Cheerful Charlie wasn"t going to be 12 , and he kept

I lost my biological mother when I was 9 and when she was alive she was not much of a mother to
me.
I met my step-mom for the first time when I moved to America to be reunited with my father. From
the beginning she made sure to let me know that I was safe and welcome.
I remember when I first saw her at the airport. It was different but not uncomfortable. After I was
picked up from the airport we went home and she unpacked my luggage. Then she took me shopping
for new clothes since the ones I had brought with me from Africa were a bit worn.
That night before I went to bed she came to my room, which was the first room I had ever had for
my own, with the first bed I didn"t have to share. She told me she was glad to have me and that she
would take good care of me.
Before she walked out of my new room, she asked me for a hug. I had no idea what she was talking
about. I did not know what the word hug meant, not because I didn"t speak English, but I had just never
heard the word before, let alone knew what it meant. So, I just looked at her with a questioning
expression on my face.
But she didn"t give up. She called my father into the room and asked him to explain to me what she
meant. When my father was explaining I looked at her and wondered why she wanted to hug me. She
then told me it was because she loved me and opened her arms wide. Shyly I opened mine and we
hugged.
That was my very first hug and I was 11 at that time. I"m 23 now and, thankfully, I have received
many hugs since then.
I consider her my birth mother because life began when I came to stay with her. For the first time
there were no kids for me to take care of and I became a child for the first time. There was no work
waiting for me every day other than the occasional chores that she gave me to teach me responsibility.
Today I say thank-you to my mother; thank you for giving me my childhood back after it had been
taken away from me. I am who I am today because of your love!
