阅读理解。     Jim 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, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was
expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim 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 Smoller, a psychologist (心理学家), had had many conversations with him, and the more
he learned, the stranger he realized Jim"s case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered
a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim 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 Jim returned his
father had died. Jim"s father was 48.
     "I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father," Dr. Smoller says."He felt that if he had not asked
him to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation
was the trial (判决) he had expected for forty years." Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to
the age of 48.
     Jim"s case shows the powerful role that attitude (态度) plays in physical health, and that childhood
experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct
than Jim"s, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as
cancer, heart disease and mental illness. 1. Jim was sent back to operation because _____. A. his heart didn"t work well
B. he expected a full recovery
C. his life was drawing to a close
D. the first one wasn"t well performed 2. What made Dr. Smoller feel strange about Jim"s case? A. Jim died at a young age.
B. Jim died on the operating table.
C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.
D. Jim"s death is closely connected with his father"s. 3. From Smoller"s words, we can infer that ______. A. Jim"s father cared little about his study
B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father
C. Jim thought he would be punished some day
D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn"t live to the age of 484. Which of the following could have strong effect 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

     I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish,
I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for
good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes-anything to enrich my thought and
make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that
a person could not have a"complicated (复杂的) idea" until he had read at least two thousand books, I
heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely
determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title
I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included
only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?)
     There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an
English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the"hundred most important books
of Western Civilization.""More than anything else in my life, " the professor told the reporter with finality,"
these books have made me all that I am." That was the kind of words I couldn"t ignore (忽视). I kept the
list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood.
While reading Plato"s The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book
to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of
a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by me time I reached the last word, pleased, I
persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.

1. On heating the teacher"s suggestion of reading, the writer thought ______. A. one must read as many books as possible
B. a student should not have a complicated idea
C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books
D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read 2. While at high school, the writer ______. A. had plans for reading
B. learned to educate himself
C. only read books over 100 pages
D. read only one book several times 3. The underlined phrase "with finality" probably means _____.A. firmly
B. clearly
C. proudly
D. pleasantly 4. The writer"s purpose in mentioning The Republic is to _____. A. explain why it was included in the list
B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list
C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand
D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word 5. The writer provides two book lists to ______. A. show how he developed his point of view
B. tell his reading experience at high school
C. introduce the two persons" reading methods
D. explain that he read many books at high school

     When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother"s Chinese English. Because of her
English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not
take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they
did not hear her.
     My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to
have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she. I was foxed to ask for information or even to yell
at people who had been rode to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an
adolescent voice that was not very convincing, "This is Mrs. Tan."
     And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, "Why he don"t send me cheek, already two
week late."
     And then, in perfect English I said, "I"m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two
weeks ago, but it hasn"t arrived."
     Then she talked more loudly. "What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss." And so
I turned to the stockbroker again, "I can"t tolerate any more excuse. If I don"t receive the cheek immediately,
I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week."
     The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.
Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
     When I was a teenager, my mother"s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To
me, my mother"s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I
hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way 
I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.
1. Why was the author"s mother poorly served?
A. She was unable to speak good English.
B. She was often misunderstood.
C. She was not clearly heard.
D. She was not very polite.
2. From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was _____. 
A. good at pretending
B. rode to the stockbroker
C. ready to help her mother
D. unwilling to phone for her mother
3. After the author made the phone call, _____.
A. they forgave the stockbroker
B. they failed to get the check
C. they went to New York immediately
D. they spoke to their boss at once
4. What does the author think of her mother"s English now?
A. It confuses her.
B. It embarrasses her.
C. It helps her understand the world.
D. It helps her tolerate rude people.
5. We can infer from the passage that Chinese English _____.
A. is clear and natural to non-native speakers
B. is vivid and direct to non-native speakers
C. has a very bad reputation in America
D. may bring inconvenience in America

     I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant, and ancient for a sportsman.
Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit but it is not a number that I was
prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my father"s age, but now I am stuck with this number
and everything it means.
     A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, " Fifty is what forty used to be." He had made
an inspirational point, Am I over the hill? People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling
them that he high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is
impossible for me now.
     " Your are not getting older, you are getting better." says Dr. Joyce Brothers. This, however, is the kind
of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
     And so. as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net. I am moves to share some
thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally. Getting older.
of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies (悼词). In fact, a poet named
Robert Browning considered it the best change of all:
     Grow old along with me!
     The best is yet to me.
     Whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for
what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious
blend  (混合) of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher (哲学家) was right when
he said. " Old is always fifteen years from now."
1. The author seems to tell us in Paragraph 1 that _____.
A. time alone will tell
B. time goes by quickly
C. time will show what is right
D. time makes one forget the past
2. When the author turned fifty, people around him ______.
A. tried to comfort him
B. got inspiration with him
C. were friendlier with him
D. found him more talkative
3. The author considers his fifty years of life _____. 
A. peaceful
B. ordinary
C. satisfactory
D. regretful
4. We can infer from the passage that _____.

A. the old should led a simple life
B. the old should face the fact of aging
C. the old should take more exercise
D. the old should fill themselves with curiosity
