| 阅读理解。 | Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little
headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE.
Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty o f the murder of Albert Cumming,
aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the
most severe punishment the court could give out. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary
had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the
unconscious Cumming. When arrested Cleary was drunk but clear thinking...
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked i f he had anything to say, Cleary
answered, "Just don"t tell my mother."
"It happened over three years ago," Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one
knew what to do. "Just don"t tell my mother," said Fee numbly. "And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor
Frank!"
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. "Fee dear, pack your things. We"ll go to see him."
She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. "I can"t go," she said
without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there "It would kill him to see me. I know
him so well-his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, "it"s what he wants. We"ve got to help him
keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?"
Paddy was still weeping, but not for Frank; for the life which had gone from Fee"s face, for the dying in
her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was
the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might
be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy"s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as
hers was for Frank.
So he said, "Well, Fee, we won"t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to
Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?"
The eyes didn"t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. "Yes, Paddy, do that Only make sure he knows
not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don"t know." | | 1. Which of the following is true according to the passage? | | [ ] | A. Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer.
B. The family didn"t find out what happened to Frank until three years later.

B. "Let him bear the shame alone, it"s what he wants."
C. "Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away."
D. "The eyes didn"t liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks." | | 4. "She half-rose before sinking back..." (in Paragraph 6) shows that _____. | | [ ] | A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up

often, see things horrible, broken and not survive the simplest of circumstances. The project started taking
form well before anyone knew where it would lead-which is to test the power of like-minded people working
together to turn inspiration into action.
Four years ago Bobby was in Rwanda offering help to the people there and taking photos of a child
soldier named Moise with his"soccer ball", which was a pile of rubbish tied together with a string. This "ball"
was the only thing Moise could call his own-no family, no home, no place to go. Forced to fight in the Congo
and having killed three people at the unbearably young age of seven, the boy"s spirit was broken. And Bobby
knew, as he took one photo after the next, that he"d never forget him In fact, he returned the following year
to tell Moise he had stayed deep within his heart-but he was gone.
I recently helped Bobby launch his new book The Power of the Invisible Sun which features a photo of
Moise, his ball, and kids from wartorn areas around the world. All of his earnings go towards the HOPE IS
A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT for the kids he visited over the past decade. They caught the emotional
landscape from heartbreak to joy, but share the undeniable longing for recovery and hope.
Bobby and I share the unchangeable belief that delivering hope is really a game-changer, especially to a
child. We believe that each indestructible ball will come to represent a lasting symbol of hope. A light no matter
how small-The Power of the Invisible Sun.
This holiday season, I ask you to think about whether you are doing enough to help someone else in the
world. Or as Bobby likes to put it, consider "taking a concrete baby step", which added together, can create
transformational change. It"s my great hope that the HOPE IS A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT will change
the lives of children the world over-one book, one ball at a time. | | 1. In the first sentence of the passage, the writer implies that _____. | | [ ] | A. kids live an unsafe life in parts of the world
