阅读理解。     In my dual profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children
infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have
been gifts in my life. I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.
     Tyler was born infected with HIV; his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life,
he was dependent on medication to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically
inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack
on his back. Medications were fastened to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to
his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
     Tyler wasn"t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not
unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and
dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at (大为
惊讶) his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler"s mom often teased him by telling him
that he moved so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to
check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.
     This deadly disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little of a dynamo like Tyler. He grew
quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother. When it became comforted him by telling
Tyler that she was dying too, and that"s he would be with him soon in heaven.
     A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, "I might die
soon. I"m not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she"s coming to heaven, too.
I"ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me."1. What happened to him in his early age?A. He was independent on medication to survive.
B. He got a tube in his chest.
C. His mother was infected with HIV.
D. He had inserted a pump on his back.2. Tyler wore a backpack is _______.A. because he thought it was cool and fashionable.
B. because there was a pump in it, which could help with his disease.
C. because the doctor and his mom asked him to wear it
D. because he had no right to choose but to wear it.3. After reading Para. 4, we can know_______.   A. The relationship between Tyler and his mom is not good.
B. Tyler"s mom loved him and was unwilling to tell him about the disease
C. Tyler"s mom is as weak as him because of the disease.
D. Tyler loved his mom very much.4. Why did Tyler ask the doctor to dress him in red?A. Because he likes dressing in red
B. Because his mother wanted him to dress in red.
C. Because he wanted his mother to be happy.
D. Because his mother can spot him at once.5. What does the author want to tell us by writing this passage?A. People who was infected with HIV will die soon.
B. Having a positive attitude will keep you from the deadly disease.
C. Even a child can teach us a lot and be respected.
D. Everyone should have great courage to face the problems.

     "Soon, you"re going to have to move out!" cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant
known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.
     One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed,
covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
     Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren"t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn"t be worth
the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be
pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks
later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big
mistake.
     Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily
watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage
I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves.
     Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold: First, I have to stand on my head, and once
found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without
dropping the prize so dearly won. I found tow full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked
tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already turned yellow for lack of light.
     Here I am faced with a painful small decision. To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant
that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several
expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlet in Gone with the Wind, I"ll think about that tomorrow.

1. The writer decided to plant the tomato just because ____.

A. it cost little
B. the soil conditions were proper
C. the space left could be used
D. the roses were growing too fast

2. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?

A. Enough care and right soil conditions.
B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
C. Tomato plants grown alongside.
D. Cage placed around the roots.

3. By saying "the prize so dearly won" in Para.5, the writer wants to ____.

A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
B. show the hardship of growing the roses
C. express her liking for the roses.
D. express her care for the tomatoes

     Just as adults have a hard time putting down their iPhones, so the device is now the toy of choice for
many 1- 3 years old children. It"s a phenomenon that is attracting the attention of some childhood
development specialists.
     Natasha Sykes, a mother of two in Atlanta, remembers the first time her daughter, Kelsey, then
barely 2 years old, held her husband"s iPhone. "She pressed the button and it lit up. I just remember her
eyes. It was like "Whoa!" "The parents were charmed by their daughter"s fascination. But then, said Ms.
Sykes, "She got serious about the phone."Kelsey would ask for it. Then she"d cry for it. "It was like she"d
always want the phone," Ms. Sykes said.
     Apple, the iPhone"s designer and manufacturer, has built its success on machines so simple and
intuitive(直观的) that even technologically confused adults can figure out how to work them, so it makes
sense that expert children would follow. Tap a picture on the screen and something happens. What could
be more fun?
     Many iPhone on the market are aimed directly at preschoolers, many of them labeled "educational,"
such as Toddler Teasers: Shapes, which asks the child to tap a circle or square or triangle; and Pocket
Zoo, which broadcasts live video of animals at zoos around the world.
     There are "flash cards" aimed at teaching children to read and spell, and a "Wheels on the Bus"
program that sings the popular song in multiple languages. Then there"s the new iGo Potty program, with
automated phone calls reminding toddlers that it"s time to "go ".
     Along with fears about dropping and damage, however, many parents sharing iPhones with their
young ones feel guilty. They wonder whether it is indeed an educational tool, or a passive amusement like
television. The American Academy of Pediatrics has long advised parents not to let their children watch
any TV until they are past their second birthday.
     Jane M. Healy, an educational psychologist in Vail, Colo. said: "Any parent who thinks a spelling
program is educational for that age is missing the whole idea of how the preschool brain grows. What
children need at that age is whole body movement, the skills of playing lots of objects and not some
difficult technology. You"re not learning to read by lining up the letters in the word "cat." You"re learning to
read by understanding language, by listening."

1. The main purpose of Kelsey referred to in the passage is to ____.

A. not only adults but children are crazy about iPhones
B. encourage people to buy this toy for their children
C. advertise for the toy
D. show Kelsey likes the toy very much

2. The underlined words "it"s time to "go" "in Paragraph 3 mean ______.

A. it"s time to stop playing the toy
B. it"s time to go to sleep
C. it"s tie to go to the washroom
D. it"s time to go home

3. The parents asking their young children to play iPhones feel guilty because _____.

A. they know the toy has a negative effect on them
B. the children damage the toy
C. they are not sure of the real effect of the toy
D. they ask their children to watch live video of animals

4. In Jane"s mind, in educating preschoolers parents should _____.

A. buy this toy for their children.
B. ask their children to play as many toys as possible
C. ask their children to learn a spelling program
D. know how the preschool brain grows

                                                           You Can"t Be Replaced
     As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious (叛逆的) on the outside,     1
on the inside I wanted people to   2    me.
    Once I left home to hitchhike (搭便车) to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn"t    3   and
there were many times I didn"t feel safe. One situation in particular left me   4   for still being alive. When I
returned home, I was different -not so outwardly (外表上) sure of myself.
    I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was  5 with us, was wearing my clothes. And my     6    seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be   7   if I weren"t there.
     I told my mom, and she explained that   8    Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could   9   me. I pointed out, "She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been." My mom said these were wonderful   10
but I was the only person who could fill my 11 . She made me realize that even with my   12 , -and they
were many-I was a loved member of the family who couldn"t be replaced.
     I became a searcher,   13  who I was and what made me unique. My   14    of myself was changing. I
wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist pressure to   15   in ways that I didn"t like any more,
and I    16 who I really was. I came to feel much more   17    that no one can ever take my place.
    Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are   18   no matter what others say or what you may
think. So  19   about being replaced. You   20     be.

Trapped on the 37th Floor Melinda Skaar wasn"t expecting any phone calls. Skaar was working late in her office at the First Interstate bank of California. By 10:45 that night she was almost ready to go home when the phone rang. Picking it up, she heard a guard shouting. "There is a fire! Get out of there!" Skaar didn"t panic. She figured that it was just a small fire. Her office building was huge. There were 62 floors and her desk was on the 37th floor. Skaar called out to office mate Stephen Oksas, who also stayed late to work. But when they got to the hallway, they were met by a cloud of black smoke. Rushing back, Skaar shut the door and filled the space at the bottom of the door with her jacket to keep the smoke out. Then they called 911. Before they could call their families, however, the line went dead. That meant that they were completely cut off from the outside world. All they could do was wait and hope someone would come to rescue them. Minutes ticked by. Smoke began to float into the office. Soon it became hard for them to breathe. Looking around, Skaar noticed a small workroom. It seemed to have cleaner air. So they crowded there. That helped for a while, but in time even the workroom was filled with deadly smoke. Hopeless, they tried to break the windows, but the glass was not breakable. Everything they threw at just bounced back. Defeated, they struggled back to the workroom. They felt weak and dizzy . Soon Skaar found Oksas had passed out. As Skaar and Oksas lay near death, rescuers were rushing to find them. At last, at about 4 a.m., firefighters found them. Skaar and Oksas knew they were lucky to be alive. "Sunday is my birthday," Skaar told a reporter. She would be turning 29. But she knew she had already got the best present possible--the gift of life.
1. What did Skaar and Oksas do when they were stopped by the fire?
A. They called their families. B. They waited where they were. C. They tried to run down the stairs. D. They rushed back and shut the door.
2. The first sentence of the passage is to _______.
A. introduce Skaar B. get the reader"s attention C. explain the cause of the event D. tell the background information
3. The following helped Skaar and Oksas survive the fire except _______.
A. calling 911 for help B. breaking the windows to get some fresh air C. crowding in a small workroom for clean air D. shutting the door and keeping the smoke out with a jacket
4. What can we conclude from Skaar"s action in the fire?
A. She is cleverer than Oksas. B. She was trained as a firefighter. C. She remained calm in the face of danger. D. She had had the experience of being caught in fire.
