Mr.Clinton and his 3-year-old son Tony are basketball fans. Last October 10th was Tony’s birthday, so Mr.Clinton decided to drive him to New York, for the first game of the World Series. They had no ticket but hoped to buy a pair from scalpers. It was a two hours’ ride. After they arrived, they walked in the street for two hours, carrying a sign (牌子) that read, “ We need two tickets.” There were many scalpers around, but the cheapest ticket was $200. They were about to leave when suddenly a man stopped them. He took out two tickets and handed them to Mr. Clinton. “How much do you want?” “Just a present,” said the man. “Enjoy the game.” Mr. Clinton wouldn’t accept, so the man explained, “I’m Jackson. Hans is my boss. He and his wife haven’t missed a World Series in 18 years. But he is ill and can’t watch the game this time. So he told me to give the two tickets to people who I thought would actually enjoy the game. A lot of people looked as if they might just take the tickets and sell them. Then I saw you and I followed you for a while. You seemed very disappointed. You made me think of my dad and me when I was a child. I dreamed of going to a World Series game with my father. But my dream never came true.” How do you suppose this made Mr. Clinton and his son feel? Here is what Mr. Clinton said: “This is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to us. My boy and I must have turned to each other over 30 times and said, ‘I can’t believe this.’ We still never forget Jackson and Hans.” |
1.The underlined word scalpers in the first paragraph means ______. |
A. people who buy tickets at a reasonable price B. people who sell tickets at a reasonable price C. people who buy tickets at a high price D. people who sell tickets at a high price |

Have you ever stayed up late? If so, you know that not getting enough sleep can make you tried and grumpy. Not sleeping enough sleep can also make it harder to think clearly the next day. Sleep scientists have long known that getting a good night’s sleep is very important. It helps kids be able to do their best during the day. A recent study shows that sleep helps improve problem-solving skills and creative(创造性的) thinking. For the study, two groups of students answered a math problem. The group that slept for eight hours solved the problem correctly more often than the group that did not get enough sleep. While you sleep at night, your brain is busy doing its “homework”. It sorts out(整理) all the information that you get in the day. Getting enough sleep each night can improve your thinking ability. That will surely help you do your best at school. Experts say that, in return, can lead to better grades.

The sun was shining as Kevin walked to the old bench(长凳) where he met Mike every afternoon after school. They were good friends and loved to play football. They didn’t have enough money to buy a real football, but Mike had made a ball out of old socks covered with a piece of plastic. It wasn’t beautiful, but it worked well. The two friends didn’t stop kicking and running until very late. The next afternoon, Mike and Kevin met again at the old bench. Soon the home-made ball was spinning(旋转) across the grass as the boys laughed and shouted happily. The ball was stopped by a boy wearing a nice pair of sneakers(运动鞋). Kevin was upset when he saw it was Steven. The next morning, Kevin’s mother gave him an envelope(信封). “Your uncle sent you a birthday present,” she smiled. Kevin’s eyes grew big when he saw the $100 bill. Later that day, a pair of new sneaker lay next to his chair, and in the corner, a real football. The next afternoon, Steven invited Kevin to play football on the field next to the library. Steven did not want Mike to join them only because Mike’s sneakers were dirty and he was not good at football. When the game was over, Kevin and Steven walked past the old bench where Mike was sitting. Steven picked up a stone and threw it at him. Kevin, holding his new football in his hands, walked on and did not look back. One afternoon, as Kevin walked past the old bench, he saw something lying under it. He looked closer and saw it was the home-made ball. Kevin was full of sorrow at the sight of his old home-made ball, and he let out a sad sigh(叹气). As his sadness turned to anger, he picked up his new football and kicked it into the air. Kevin kicked it so hard that it flew past the library and over the school gate. Then Kevin walked to the bench and picked up his home-made ball. Holding it in his hands, Kevin sat down and waited.

Jim Madison was walking through the American Cemetery (公墓) at Normandy one day in 2001 when his eyes fell on a grave marker that caught him by surprise, "Elizabeth A. Richardson, American Red Cross, Indiana July 25, 1945".The chance discovery led to his new book-- An American Woman in World War Two, which tells about the war through the eyes of Richardson. Richardson joined the Red Cross in 1944 and worked on a Clubmobile- a converted bus from which she and other women served coffee and chatted to American soldiers scattered across England and France. More important than the food, they were a reminder of home for lonely and miserable soldiers. She died at 27 in a crash of a two-seater L-5 Sentinel aircraft. She was one of four women buried at the American Cemetery at Normandy. Madison said the present understanding of World War Two just focused on the experiences of male soldiers, but women were also important to the war effort and brought their own views to the conflict. "The point I try to make in the book is how close Richardson came to understanding war," he said. "She saw the effects of it, and she grieved (感到悲痛)." When Madison returned from Normandy in 2001, he managed to contact Richardson"s younger brother, Charles Richardson Jr. It was her family"s keeping of her letters and diaries that made possible the book, which quoted from them extensively. Madison believes America"s fascination with World War Two will outlive those who fought it and the generations that follow them. Since the late 1980s, he has taught undergraduate courses on the war at Indiana University, and he said students obviously warm up to the subject. He said he sometimes talked to World War Two soldiers who "have a sense that young people don"t know and they don"t care". "I tell them it"s the opposite", he said. |
1. How did Jim Madison get the idea of writing a book about World War Two? |
A. His friends suggested it. B. He got it quite by accident C. It was requested by Richardson"s brother. D. It was arranged by his university. |
2. The passage suggests that women working in the Red Cross, like Richardson, _____, |
A. provided warmth and encouragement to soldiers B. were braver than male soldiers C. didn"t experience much suffering during the war D. had a good understanding of the cruelty of the war |
3. What made Madison"s new book special? |
A. That it was based on a real life story and focused on the cruelty of war. B. That it talked about war from a woman"s point of view. C. That it quoted a lot from Richardson"s letters and diaries. D. That it reminded people of those who contributed in World War Two. |
4. According to Madison, today"s American youth _____. |
A. know a lot about World War Two B. don"t respect World War Two soldiers C. are eager to learn about World War Two D. are more interested in learning about male soldiers |
