I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (谷类食物), eggs or toast. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from other kids" too. But_at_least_I_wasn"t_alone_in_my_sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did. My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we"d be gone an hour, then we be gone one hour or less-not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was. The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath, while the other kids always wore their clothes for days. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, things didn"t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, "sick" like our friends did, and miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par(达到正常水平). Our friends" report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks. As the years rolled by, we were one by one put to shame. We were graduated from high school. With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout. My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education. And whom do we have to blame for the terrible way we turned out? You"re right, our mean mother. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Now I am trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean. Because, you see, I had the meanest mother in the world. |

As a young boy, I lived in a poor suburban neighborhood. I often wandered around the neighborhood alone, and offered to help mow a lawn or wash some walls in exchange for some pocket money just to buy something I needed, such as some school clothes or candy. One day, I knocked at an old woman"s door and asked if she needed her walls washed. She asked why I wasn"t in school and I showed her my pants and shoes, which were torn and no longer keeping my feet warm. She allowed me to work in the yard for pretty much that entire day. When I was finished, I knocked on her door and she looked at me. "I suppose you want to be paid now," she said. "Yes, ma"am, I do." She asked what my fee was. I hadn"t thought about this and made no answer. She said, "Well, come inside," and then she came in and pulled out a big jar which was filled with dollar bills. She said, "Though you"ve done a fine job today, that isn"t something you should be doing again. I want you to buy some pants and new shoes and get back in school. I also want you to come back and visit me with your report card and I"ll reward you when I see your good marks. Now reach in with your hands and take out as much as possible." I reached in and grabbed lots of money, which was enough for me to buy those I needed. I returned several times to see the woman and yes, she did just as she promised. She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and a sandwich every time I showed her I had an "A" or "B". I"ll never forget the huge difference this wonderful stranger made over my life with her generosity and kindness; this is something I hope to do myself in my life.

We hadn"t seen each other for a few months, so I decided to start a conversation with her. My cousin is studying in a college of our city. Her hobby is surfing the Internet. Every time I am on the computer, she is always online, listening to music or decorating her "personal space". I like visiting her space. It"s creative and modern and worth a visit. I can"t imagine my designing such a colorful web page. When I read the sentences she sent to me, I noticed that the Chinese characters had been changed, but I could still guess their meanings. I took a strong interest in this type of new characters. Further observation made me realize that they added some common Chinese radicals(部首) to the original characters, making them more vivid, a little like Japanese. My cousin said this gives new life to the Chinese language and culture. It is true that the Internet has reinvented our language, but I still can"t accept this new cultural change. Some Chinese characters have meanings in the shapes; one shouldn"t superficially change them by adding an additional radical. So I persuaded my cousin to change her new idea and use standard characters to communicate. And she willingly accepted my advice. | 1. The author"s cousin was a(n) ________. | A. engineer B. teacher C. model D. student | 2. The author would like to visit his cousin"s space _________. | A. because he wants to design a web page B. because the music is well worth listening to C. because it is very attractive and popular D. because it is the best one on the Internet | 3. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________. | A. the Internet has an effect on the Chinese characters B. the Chinese people have learned a lot from the Internet C. the QQ message online is very useful to everyone D. the text message is more important than the QQ messages | 4. The underlined word "reinvented" in the passage means "_________". | A. destroyed B. improved C. discovered D. introduced | 5. We can learn from this passage that _________. | A. the author is a teacher in a college B. the author can design a webpage creatively C. the Chinese characters have been changed into Japanese D. the author thinks people should use standard characters to communicate | 完形填空. | A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile zone, when a ___1___came behind him.
