阅读理解。    I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I
lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and
made girl friends. Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss.
    Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FAIL in
more than half the subjects. I didn"t care, at least not till my dad found out about it.
You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected
to finance their own education, my dad financed me.
    Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper
but he just told me, "Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on". It hit me
like a roundhouse kick (回旋踢) from Bruce Lee. I was jolted (震摇) out of my bones!
I couldn"t comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed
everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living
a life filled with credit.
   When I went back to college, I knew that if I don"t change the way I live my life I
won"t be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes, drastic changes.
I quit smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging
out in libraries and reading my engineering books.
   One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude (优等成绩). Life
was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take
action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me
when I feel that I"m about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it! 1. The author wrote this text with the purpose of _____. [     ]
A. introducing his university life to the teenage readers
B. encouraging those lazy students to study hard at school
C. showing you can overcome any difficulty if you take action
D. calling on the readers not to develop bad habits in college 2. The author didn"t care about his study until _____. [     ]
A. he entered the engineering school
B. he was in heavy debt he couldn"t bear
C. he decided to give up smoking
D. his allowance was cut in half 3. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that the author _____. [     ]
A. paid off his debt and life wasn"t hard for him any more
B. removed his bad habits and didn"t lead a casual life
C. never hung out with his friends but studied all day
D. began to live a happy life due to his good grades 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE? [     ]
A. Students tended to earn money for college expenses in America.
B. The author did well in making good friends in the school.
C. The author made great progress with the help of his friends.
D. Students were encouraged to do part-time jobs in Indian schools.

miles, whenever I"m feeling down. At that time she was   2   something.
    Looking   3  , she said, "Hello." I nodded,not wanting to   4   with a small child.
    "I"m Wendy and I"m building something," she said.
   "I see. But what is it?" I asked, not   5  .
    "I don"t know. I just like the   6   of sand."
    A sandpiper (矶鹞鸟) flew by.
    "That"s a   7  . Mum says sandpipers come to bring us joy."
    "Good-bye, joy," I thought to myself, "hello,   8  ." and walked away. My life then seemed
completely out of   9 .
    "Come again," she called, "and have another   10   day."
    But the days and weeks that followed   11   to other people:naughty boys and a   12   mother.
One morning I suddenly realized I needed my   13   and headed for the beach. The breeze was
cool, but I walked along,trying to recapture (捕捉) the inner peace I needed. I had almost   14

    "  16   do you live?" I asked. She pointed toward a summer cottage.
    Then one day, I rushed to my beach in great pain, even in no__16__to greet the girl. "If you
don"t mind," I said coldly, "I"d rather be   17   today." She seemed unusually   18   and out of breath.
    "Why?" she asked.
    "My mother died!"
    "Did it hurt when she died?"
    "Of course it hurt!" I shouted, misunderstanding her.
    When I next went to the beach, she wasn"t there. Feeling   19 , and admitting I   20   her, I went
up to the cottage. A woman answered the door. "Wendy, my daughter, died last week. She had
leukemia (白血病). Maybe she didn"t tell you."

     Three surfers rushed to save a man"s life after he was left drifting on a notorious stretch of water.
     The men stayed with Greg Popple for 30 minutes and had to be rescued themselves by helicopter as the
drama unfolded.
     The 45-year-old had floated out on a body board near Hutchwns Point at 8:30 am.He found himself in
trouble about half-a-mile from the shore and dangerously close to rocks. Surfers Graig Evans, 31, Robert Miles,
19, and Owain Daviees, 23, were risking their own safety to keep him floating for 30 minutes. Luckily a passer-
by noticed what was going on and raised the alarm. Porthcawl Coastguard, Porthcaw Lifeboat and an RAF
helicopter all took part in the rescue.
    "The man who got into trouble was a body boarder-there was a big tide where he was," said Joe Missen.
"Three other surfers spotted he was in difficulty and he was going down. They kept him afloat because he was
in a state of shock and out of energy. If Mr. Popple was closer to the rocks, it could have been a lot worse, but
they managed to keep him from harm".
     Mr. Missen"s mum Alison, also part of the rescue team, said, "That part of the water is notorious for taking
people out to nowhere".
     The three men had clocked off a night shift at Ford Motor Company shortly before the incident.
     "I headed straight down to the beach for a surf, when I saw him flailing (挥动). We just swam straight out
to him and kept him calm while the help came".
     The four men were taken to the life boat house to recover, without injuries.

     Two truck drivers didn"t know each other when they arrived at the scene of a bad traffic accident on
Kentucky"s mountain highway last June. Yet they worked together like long-time partners and saved two
drivers from near certain death. For their bravery, Terry and Floyd have been named Goodyear North
America Highway Heroes for 2003. The award was announced on Thursday at the Mid-America Trucking
Show. Terry and Floyd were rewarded $20,000 with a free trip to Nashville.
     On June 22, Terry and Floyd, driving trucks separately, came across an accident involving a jeep and a
car on mountain parkway. The quick-thinking men broke the back window of the upside-down jeep, freed
the driver from his seat belt, and dragged him to safety. But the driver of the car was made unable to move
with a lot of weight on him inside the car, and the fire from the jeep was spreading dangerously close.
     "The paint was melting (融化) on the car; it was so hot," recalled Floyd.
     Terry and Floyd fastened a nylon strap (带子) between Floyd"s truck and the car in an effort to pull it
away from the burning jeep. The first two failed. On the third try, the strap held and Floyd pulled the car to
safety. Soon afterward, the fire reached the jeep"s gas tank, creating a fireball that took in the area where the
car had been located.
     When rescue people arrived, Floyd, an experienced technician (技师), used the Jaws-of-Life to free the
car driver.

[ ]

A. frightening
B. stuck in
C. dead

     When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a faraway village. One day,
on the road, I found the    1    pieces of a mirror. There was a Garman motorcycle accident.
     I tried to find all the pieces and put them    2   , but it was not possible, so I kept only the    3    piece and
I made it round. I could    4    with it as a toy and became greatly attracted by the    5   that I could reflect
(反射) light to dark places where the sun would never shine-in    6   holes and some other dark places. It
became a    7    for me to get light into the darkest places I could find.
    I    8    the little mirror, and, as I    9   up, I would take it out when I had nothing to do and   10   the game,
As I became a   11 , I grew to understand that this was not   12   a child"s game but a metaphor (象征) for
what I might do with my life. I came to   13   that I am not the light or the source of light. But light-truth,
understanding, knowledge-is   14 , and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.
     I am just a single piece of a mirror whose   15   design and shape I do not know.   16 , with what I have I
can reflect light into the dark places of this   17   -into the black places in the   18   of men-and change some
things   19   some people. Perhaps others may see and do the same. This is what I am about. This is the   20
of my life.
