完形填空。     20 years ago, I drove a cab   1   a living. One time I arrived in the middle of the night for a pickup at a
building that was dark   2   a single light in a ground floor window. After a long pause, a small woman in her 80"s stood before me.
     "Would you carry my bag out to the car?" she said. I took her small suitcase to the cab, and then
returned to   3   the woman. She kept thanking me for my kindness. " It"s nothing." I told her. "I just try to
treat my passengers the   4   I would want my mother treated."
     "Riverside Street, please. But could you drive through downtown?"
     "It"s not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
     "Oh, I don"t mind," She said." I"m in no  5  . I am on my way to a hospice." I looked in the back view
mirror. Her eyes were full of   6  . "I don"t have any family  7  ." She continued. "The   8   says I don"t have
very long." While we were driving through the city, she showed me the building where she had once
worked. Sometimes she asked me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would   9   into
the darkness, saying  10  . Not until the first ray of the sun   11   up the sky did we get to the address she
had given me.
     " How much do I   12   you?" she asked.
     " Nothing," I said. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She   13   onto me tightly, saying   "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy." Then she walked into the hospice.
     Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the   14  of a life. I don"t pick up any more passengers for
the rest of the day. I drove  15  , lost in thought.   16   I had refused to take the run? On a quick   17 , I
don"t think I have done anything more   18   in my life. We are conditioned to think that our lives   19   on

     The gray-haired lady can"t wait to leave the building to search for her dad .Unless watched ,she will
walk in the streets in an effort to find her father ,who died 30years ago.
     Not all cases of Alzheimer"s disease look like this ,but Alzheimer"s is a serious disease that is said to
be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.
     It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer"s .In the early
stages ,people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality , easy
to be angry .As the disease progresses ,patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.
    While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain"s nerve fibers (神经纤维),their effect is
certain .Alzheimer"s destroys not only the patients ,but also spouses(配偶),friends and families.
    What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer"s disease.
    Though many reasons other than Alzheimer"s disease may cause memory loss ,its early diagnosis(诊断)
and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.
    What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer" s disease? A person
will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the
disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn"t remember you are married.
    Life for the Alzheimer"s patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses ,
bringing a deep sorrow ,loss and even anger towards God .No matter what feelings are present , facing
them honestly will serve one better than burying them.
1.What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired day?
A. She has been living with her father.              
B. She was sad about the death of her father.
C. She can"t search for her father without being watched.  
D. She suffers from Alzheimer"s disease.
2.When people suffer from Alzheimer"s disease , ________.
A. their families and friends will suffer from the same disease
B. their families and friends will experience mental sufferings
C. they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years
D. they will forget everybody but their spouses
3. Memory loss occurs ________.
A. from Alzheimer"s disease and nothing else    
B. from sadness ,shock ,anger ,and so on
C. for a number of reasons                  
D. with changes in personality
4. From the passage we know that_____.
A. early treatment may stop Alzheimer"s disease occurring
B. it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brain"s nerve fibers
C. nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer"s disease
D. when one suffers from Alzheimer"s disease ,he will be buried

All that seemed   11 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to   12  to them: their playtime, the heat outside--- they just wanted to help others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional cloth to help clean cars. Passers-by were   13  and one even shouted back to them saying, "God Bless You, my kids…

     "Mister D"Arcy is not a policeman. He is however, very wise. He knew the police would search his
apartment. He also knew how police think. So, he did not hide the letter where he knew they would look
for it.
     "Do you remember how Germont laughed when I said the mystery was difficult for him to work out
because it was so simple?"
     Dupin filled his pipe with tobacco and lit it. "Well, the more I thought about it, the more I realized the
police could not find the letter because D"Arcy had not hidden it at all.
     "So I went to visit D"Arcy in his apartment. I took a pair of dark green eyeglasses with me. I explained
to him that I was having trouble with my eyes and needed to wear the dark glasses at all times. He
believed me. The glasses permitted me to look around the apartment while I seemed only to be talking to
him.
     "I paid special attention to a large desk where there were a lot of papers and books. However, I saw
nothing suspicious there. After a few minutes, however, I noticed a small shelf over the fireplace. A few
postcards and a letter were lying on the shelf. The letter looked very old and dirty.
     "As soon as I saw this letter, I decided it must be the one I was looking for. It must be, even though it was completely different from the one Germont had described.
     "This letter had a large green stamp on it. The address was written in small letters in blue ink. I
memorized every detail of the letter while I talked to D"Arcy. Then when he was not looking, I dropped
one of my gloves on the floor under my chair.
     "The next morning, I stopped at his apartment to look for my glove. While we were talking, we heard
people shouting in the street. D"Arcy went to the window and looked out. Quickly, I stepped to the shelf
and put the letter in my pocket. Then I replaced it with a letter that looked exactly like it, which I had
taken with me. I had made it the night before.
     "The trouble in the street was caused by a man who had almost been run over by a horse and carriage.He was not hurt. And soon the crowd of people went away. When it was over, D"Arcy came away from
the window. I said goodbye and left.
     "The man who almost had an accident was one of my servants(雇员). I had paid him to create the
incident."
     Dupin stopped talking to light his pipe. I did not understand. "But, Dupin," I said, "why did you go to
the trouble of replacing the letter? Why not just take it and leave"
     Dupin smiled. "D"Arcy is a dangerous man," he said. "And he has many loyal servants. If I had taken
the letter, I might never have left his apartment alive."
1. What is Dupin probably?
A. A captain.            
B. A detective.    
C. An official.          
D. A professor.
2. Why was Dupin wearing a pair of dark green eyeglasses while calling at D"Arcy"s ? 
A. Because he wanted to be look more handsome.
B. Because there was something wrong with his eyes.
C. Because he could see more clearly wearing the eyeglasses .
D. Because the glasses enabled him to look around without being noticed .
3. Dupin dropped one of his gloves to ___ . 
A. pay a visit to D"Arcy again.        
B. leave some evidence
C. send it to D"Arcy as a gift.    
D. imply something to D"Arcy

A. D"Arcy asked his loyal servants to kill Dupin 
B. Mr. D"Arcy and Dupin were good friends.
C. the incident in the street was directed by Dupin.
