阅读理解。     During my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany"s mom.
     Tiffany"s mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food.
Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn"t give me much
pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.
     Whenever I didn"t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany"s mom would give her
that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say "Poor Tiffany". I couldn"t
understand her. "She shouldn"t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!" I thought, "She should be feeling sorry for
me."
     One day, I couldn"t help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she
wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?" I burst into tears.
     My mom sat down next to me and said softly, "Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you
a lesson that she will never be taught."
     I looked up at her, "What are you talking about?"
     Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something. Maybe she"ll find out that she can"t
have it. Her mother won"t always be around to give her money, and what"s more, money can"t buy
everything."
     She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You"ll
know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won"t. You"ll understand that you need to
work hard to get the things that you want but she won"t. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she"ll wake
up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you"ve got. Life lessons are more
important than modern clothes and delicious food."
     It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom"s words. Now I am a happy and successful
woman. 1. During the author"s elementary school years, she __________.A. wished that her mom were as good as Tiffany"s

阅读理解。     After a disabled woman"s cat started a house fire, her specially trained dog came to the rescue and then died when trying to help the cat still in the house, Jamie Hanson said the 13-year-old dog named Jesse,
brought the phone so she could call 911 and also brought her artificial leg.
     "She got me outside and then she heard the cat upstairs and went up there to get the cat out but she
wouldn"t come back to me," Hanson, 49, said at a news conference at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial
Medical Center where she was being treated for her injuries.
     "She received third-degree burns on an arm in the fire at her home," the Sheboygan County Sheriff"s
Department said, adding that both pets died in the fire.
     Hanson, who lost a leg in a car accident three years ago, said she was on the couch watching television when the cat ran over the back of the couch.
     "And he jumped onto a table that had a candle on it and tipped it over and finally set the artificial plants on fire," she said.
     Hanson said she fell off the couch and was unable to get her artificial leg from the table. "So my dog got my leg for me and went to get the phone and brought it to me, so I could call 911."
     She said she tried to put the prosthetic leg on, but it was too hot, and the dog, a German shepherd,
came to her aid again before going back inside for the cat.

was in the doorway and was assisted by a deputy (警官).1.What was the cause of the fire?A. The disabled woman fell off the cough.

disappointment."
     Mother was   4 , as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job
in    5 , then work my way up to sports announcer. I hitchhiked (搭便车) to Chicago and knocked on
the door of every station-and got   6    every time.
     In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn"t risk    7    inexperienced people. "Go out in
the sticks and find a small station that"ll give you a   8    ," she said.
     I hitchhiked home to Dixon, Illinois. While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and    9    a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since
Dixon was where I had played high school football, I    10 . The job sounded just right for me. But I wasn"t hired.

It was a normal Saturday morning, and everyone was in a good mood. The year was 2000 and I was then only 6 years old. I remember it like it was yesterday though. We were just eating breakfast when we received a phone call. We received phone calls all the time, so it was nothing new to me. However, this phone call was an important one. I soon heard and saw my mother crying on the couch(沙发)with my father comforting her. My brother, sister, and I didn"t know what had happened, as they had not told us yet. Later, I was told that my grandfather was in the hospital because he had a heart attack. I did not know what to think. I had never heard of a heart attack, but I figured (认为) that it must be serious if he was in the hospital. My grandfather and grandmother lived far away from us and we did not get to see them often. It was a long trip. My mother rushed to the hospital while my father stayed at home with my brother, sister and me. I do not think my young sister was really understanding it all yet. My mother returned a little later with bad news. My grandfather had died before she got there. I was speechless. I had loved my grandfather greatly. He was the one who taught me how to fish and enjoy the outdoors.

If I left the decisions up to my daughter, she"d never play competitive sports. In her first season of forced sports, when she was four years old, she cried every time she kicked the soccer ball. She stopped on the way from the parking lot to the soccer field, wailing that her legs hurt. And worse, she cried, "I"m sweating!" A few years have passed, and she just completed her fourth soccer season. She"s starting her second year of softball. Sports trophies (奖杯) line her window platform. I learned from the years of football, soccer and baseball in my son"s youth that kids need to experience being on a team, and they might not beg you to sign them up. You might have to force it on them. They need to learn about sacrificing, and about commitment. If you read parenting articles out there, you"ll find plenty of folks who shy away from competitive sports because they want their kid to always feel like a winner. I don"t know what kind of idyllic (田园的) life these parents must be leading, but in my world, I"m thinking I need to sign my kids up for something that will teach them about life"s devastating disappointments. Hence, I think my daughter picked up some good life lessons when her team lost almost every game in the last season. Sometimes life is like that. Sometimes you get a bad call, the people on your team suck, you"re tired and don"t feel like playing, the coach is mean to you, someone scratches your face and steals the ball. And the next week, you put on your uniform, and try your best.
1. What attitude does the author have towards competitive sports?
A. He supports children in taking part in competitive sports. B. He doesn"t like competitive sports himself. C. He doubts whether competitive sports can really benefit children. D. He believes competitive sports are not suitable for young children.
2. What do we know about the author"s daughter?
A. She hates the author signing her up for competitive sports. B. She hasn"t realized the importance of competitive sports. C. She wants to give up competitive sports. D. She now likes competitive sports.
3. What should we do if a child doesn"t like competitive sports, according to the author?
A. Get him interested in sports first. B. Sign him up for competitive sports. C. Leave him alone. D. Give him some trophies first.
4. In what way is life similar to sports?
A. They both mean a lot to children. B. They both need great courage. C. They are both full of hard times. D. They both can teach children good lessons.
5. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that competitive sports .
A. can destroy a child"s feeling of success B. are sometimes too cruel to children C. have already been accepted by most parents D. can prepare kids for the realities of life
