完形填空。     There was a time when I thought my dad didn"t know a thing about being a good father. I couldn"t   1
him ever saying the words "I love you." It seems to me his only purpose in life was to say "  2  " to
anywhere I wanted to go and anything I wanted to do, including getting a   3 . Some parents bought their
kids cars when they got their driver"s licenses. Not my dad -he said that I"d have to get a job and buy my
own.
     So that is what I did. I got a job at a very nice restaurant and    4   every penny I could and   5   I had
enough to buy my car, I did! The day I brought that car home, my dad was the first one I wanted to   6
to.   "Look, dad, a car of my own. If you ever want a ride, I"ll only   7   you five dollars." I offered with a
smile.
    "I see," was all he said.
     One day, there was something wrong with my father"s truck. So he needed a   8   to work. The sun
wasn"t even up when we left the house ,   9   it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a(n)   10
day. As I dropped my dad off, I   11   him, dressed in his work clothes, getting his   12   from the truck
(车尾箱) of my car. Watching his sun-weathered face, and even from a distance I could tell there were
   13   lines than I ever remembered being there before. I realized how hard my dad works for the family.
My father is a cement finisher(水泥修整工).
      At that moment, it   14 to me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot
concrete(混凝土) to make a living for his family. And he did this day in and day out,   15 hot it got.
Never, not once, had I heard him   16   about it. To him we were "worth" it. And never once did he
"charge" us for it.
     When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to   17   me
five dollars. I rolled down the window and said "Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It"s my   18_ .
Don"t work too hard. I love you."
     His   19   met mine, then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools, he   20   his throat(喉咙,

     Jill suffered heart problems. In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was
drawing to a close.
    When his heart problems led to operation, Jill went through it successfully, and a full recovery was
expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jill was rushed back to operation,
but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day
before his 48th birthday.
    Dr. Bruce Smaller, a psychologist (心理学家), had had many conversations with him, and the more
he learned, the stranger he realized Jill"s case was. When Jill was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered
a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jill asked his father to look over his homework,
promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jill returned his
father had died. Jill"s father was 48.
  "I think all his life Jill believed he killed his father," Dr. Smaller says. "He felt that if he had not asked
him to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jill had been troubled by the idea. The
operation was the trial(判决) he had expected for forty years." Smaller believes that Jill willed himself
not to live to the age of 48.
    Jill"s case shows the powerful role that attitude (态度) plays on physical health, and that childhood
experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct
than Jill"s, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as
cancer, heart disease and mental illness.

1. What made Dr. Smaller feel strange about Jill"s case?

A. Jill died at a young age.
B. Jill died on the operating table.
C. Both Jill and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jill"s death is closely connected with his father"s.

2. From Smaller"s words, we can infer that__________.

A. Jill"s father cared little about his study
B. Smaller agreed that Jill did kill his father
C. Jill thought he would be punished some day
D. Smaller believed Jill wouldn"t live to the age of 48

3. Which of the following could have strong effects on one"s physical health according to the text.
     a. One"s genes.
     b. One"s life in childhood.
     c. One"s physical education.
     d. The date of one"s birthday.
     e. The opinions one has about something.

A. a, b, d
B. a, b, e
C. a, c, e
D. b, c, d

     The half-empty coffee cups, still standing next to their plates, tell of a morning like any other. And
yet, that grey covering of dust that everything   1   tells a different story: it tells of screams, tears, terror
and   2  . Now the restaurant in the World Trade Center will   3   again serve breakfast. And never
again will all those people go there to eat or   4  . So many people whose faces we associate with life
and liveliness are gone
   5 . So many words remain    6  , and so much happiness has been destroyed. In their places are
tear-stained(泪水沾湿的) faces.
     My generation has seen this. On Monday, a fight with my sister, a bad grade and homework 7  to
be the biggest problems in the world. Tonight, so many across the country know that America"s pain
is at its    8   ever.
     We have   9   World WarⅡ. But to most of us students, that"s an event on a textbook  10   that
would never happen today.
     After all, this was a time of   11   and wealth-the United States was powerful and successful. There
would be no more wars, and we were   12   to live in such a time.
     But when those planes   13   ; when firefighters with   14   on their faces ran among the parts of the
building that had fallen; when people   15   for their family members; when history was unfolding before
our eyes, in full, clear color-then we knew the world had been changed.   16   how many human beings
turned to ashes in a second, and seeing some jump from the buildings, I know that my generation is
growing up in a world where    17   can still be evil.
     But seeing those heroes risk their lives among the castle-like ruins, and seeing the   18     blood
donors at the hospitals, my generation has learned that tears are allowed, that mankind can also be
  19   , and that the ghost of evil never   20   the spirit of good.

     We are most often called upon to support others in friendship. Several years ago, Donna had
been feeling very depressed(沮丧的). She had just broken up with her boyfriend of two years,
and she was having a very difficult time accepting the loss. She had been laid up with a knee injury
for several days, and the time alone at home certainly was not helping. Her misery(可怜)was only
increased by her being discouraged at herself for not being able to cheer up and stop crying all the
time.
     Early one morning Donna received a phone call with some terrible news: her best friend"s brother
had been killed in a car accident. Donna had known this friend, Mary, and her brother nearly her
entire life, and the news was shocking. However, Donna quickly pulled herself together, got in the
car, and drove to her friend"s house to be there with her.
     Over the course of the next few days, when attending the funeral(葬礼) and receiving the hundreds
of visitors, Donna was 100 percent present for Mary. She held her close while she cried her endless
tears, sat by her side as the waves of sadness washed over her friend, and slept on the floor next to
Mary"s bed to make sure she did not wake up alone in the middle of the night. During that time she
felt hardly any pain in her knee at all and none of the depression she had been experiencing.
     Several weeks later, when life began to return to normal, Donna realized that the level of support
she had given. Mary had been far greater than any support she had offered herself during her dark
time. She was able to use the support she had given her friend as a mirror for the support she had
been holding back from herself. She realized that her own tears required as much care and attention
from her as anyone else"s, and that if she could give it to another, she must be able to give it to herself,
too.

1. The underlined part "pulled herself together" in the second paragraph probably means____

A. put on her clothes
B. dressed herself up
C. controlled herself
D. enjoyed herself

2. Which of the following orders best describes what happened to Donna?
a. Mary telephoned Donna.b. Donna broke up with her boyfriend.
c. Mary"s brother died in a car accident.d. Donna lay in bed with a knee injury.
e. Donna came to be in company with Mary.

A. c-a-b-d-e
B. b-d-a-c-e
C. d-b-c-a-e
D. b-d-c-a-e

3. The most suitable title for this passage is ___________.

A. Friendship
B. Support
C. Donna"s Depression
D. Shocking News

4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________________________.

A. Donna could have supported herself more to reduce her own depression.
B. Donna had given Mary much greater support than she had done herself.
C. Donna paid much attention to and showed lots of care for herself during her dark time.
D. With Donna"s help, life began to return to normal.

                                                    Teach Me in the way To Go
      I grew up in a very poor Catholic family. My father used some 1 ways to teach us and rarely
spared us from the school of hard lessons. This is the one I 2 most.
     On the first day of 2nd grade, my father asked me if I could  3 well. "Yes, I can," I said. So he
gave me a hand-drawn 4 with street names and directions on how to walk to school. School is 3
miles away, and I had never been off my home street by myself, ever.
     The 5 he gave me as he sends me the map with my lunch box and jacket said very little, he   6
says, "Everything you need to know is written on the map, read the map and  7 the directions."
Okay, by now I was standing in 8 at his request, scared to death, but he kissed me goodbye and
sent me out the door. And   9 I went to school, crying, but   10  .
     I don"t know how long it took for me to get there, or how many fearful and anxious   11 I had,
but I do remember forever   12 it felt when I came around the last corner, and saw my school. The
13 , the laughter, the joy. I had made it! I jumped   14 and angry as I was with my Dad, I wished
I could tell him   15   that I had done it.
     He wasn"t there when I got home and I was  16 when he got home. The next day I waited for
him to ask what had happened. He never did. We laughed and talked and our   17 began.
     Years later I finally got the  18  to ask him why he did that and why he hadn"t cared about what
had happened. He just looked at me for a few minutes then said, "I didn"t have to ask you, I knew. I
followed you the whole way in the car,   19 far enough back so you could not see me. I saw you
jump up and down at the last street corner. I 20 what you felt."
     Then I understood and I cried.
     Thanks. Dad.
