I don’t remember her name__43__ what her face looked like. I just remember her hands, her voice and the__44__ she taught me.
I can still see her hand __45__ for mine in our introduction. __46__ were so beautiful, I thought; rich, dark skin__47__ complemented(涂了) by the orange colored polish on her nails. Then I __48__ her saying, and not at all in a condescending(居高临下的) __49__ .“Oh no, that is NOT how you shake hands. Let me show you _50___.”
After that, I just remember her voice __51__ the importance of a good handshake, conveying（传递） a positive sense of self, looking at _52___ person in the eye, making that first moment matter…I think in that exchange I first understood__53__.
I respected her for __54__ the time to teach me about one of those subtleties(细微之处) in life. I appreciated the fact __55__ she didn’t look down upon me because I was 11 or because I didn’t know something. And so because of that I felt somewhat respected. I mean the _56___ she treated me. It felt good to be __57__ like a real person. I also appreciate her idea that _58__ someone doesn’t pay attention to something, be patient and point him or her__59__ the right direction. I__60__ her every time I meet someone and shake hands. And I’m so thankful for her little lesson.

Letters to the next president
Dear Mr. President:
I would like to personally thank you for your time and concern for our great country. I would like to take a few minutes to address a few concerns that I have with the United States.
First of all, I would like to address the war. In my opinion, we should have never been involved with Iraq to the extent that we are now. I believe we should pull our troops out. However, I think there should be a time table that we follow but the time table should not be released（发布） because the enemy does not need to know when we are going to pull out. Also, the war takes out a ton of our money, which leads me to my next issue.
The economy right now, in the opinion of many Americans is the biggest issue with which we are facing right now. No one can predict what will happen one day or the next. The obvious thing to do is to put 700 billion dollars in the economy, but that bill failed and was rejected by the House of Representatives(众议院). Instead of putting 700 billion dollars in, I think the money should be equally distributed among Americans to pay off their debts. I"m not sure if this would work, but I think it is a positive alternative(替代) we could take.
My final issue I would like to call to your attention is teacher"s salaries. The high school students of today are America"s future. In a way, America"s future depends greatly on the high school teachers of America. Saying this, it is sad that teacher"s salaries are where they are. While teachers are working harder and harder every day to teach high school students, CEO"s of big companies that are driving our countries economy into the ground are getting bonuses. I"m not saying that teacher"s salaries should be the same of CEO"s of companies, but I do strongly believe that action should be taken to increase the salaries of teachers because they have one of the most important jobs in America - - preparing our country for the future.
Once again, thank you for your time and your effort you put in to making this great country a better place.
Sincerely, Walker

One Sunday, my family had gathered at my parents’ house to feast upon Mom’s wonderful cooking. During the normal dinner chatter (闲聊), I noticed that my father was slurring (说话含混) his words. No one mentioned this during dinner, but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward.
We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.
Mom phoned me two days later. “The doctor found a brain tumor (肿瘤). It’s too large at this point to operate. Maybe they can do something then, but the odds are long.”
Even with the treatment, my father’s condition worsened, and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal (晚期的). During one of his stays in the hospital, we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him. By this time he had great difficulty speaking. I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her.
Watching the two of them together, I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever. Though grateful for the times they could share, I couldn’t shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background.
On the visit to my parents’ home during what we all know was my father’s last days, my mother took Chelsey from my arms and announced, “Your father would like to see you alone for a minute.”
I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed. He appeared even weaker than the day before.
“How are you feeling, Dad?” I asked. “Can I do anything for you?”
He tried to speak, but he couldn’t make out a word.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t understand you,” I said.
With great difficulty he said, “I love you.”
We don’t learn courage from heroes on the evening news. We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations. In many ways my father was a strict, uncommunicative man. He found it difficult to show emotion. The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overcome that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of his life.
小题1:Which of the following statements is TRUE?| A．The writer accompanied his father to a medical examination. | | B．The writer’s father got worse after the removal of the brain tumor. | | C．The writer was quick to notice the strange condition of his father. | | D．The writer’s father had known about his illness before the writer discovered it. |
小题2: What does the underlined sentence “the odds are long” mean?| A．There’s little possibility for Father to recover. | | B．It takes a long time for Father to recover. | | C．Father needs love and care from his family. | | D．They need a proper time to operate on Father. |
小题3:The father had never said “I love you” to the writer before because ________.| A．he believed in strictness and punishment | | B．he was not so attached to the writer | | C．he thought there was no need to tell the writer | | D．he was not used to openly showing his emotions |
小题4:What does the writer attempt to tell us?| A．We don’t often value health until we lose it. | | B．Don’t wait to see a doctor till it is too late. | | C．Life is short, so live your life to the fullest. | | D．Bravely express your love for your family. |

“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in boyhood, and had no uncles, aunts, or friends to help them. Schools were few and low. They could not depend on them for an education. They saw how it was, and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way up to fame.
One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”
Some young men have no ambitions(抱负) to do anything; and they are to be pitied. They can never succeed unless they see their foolishness, and change their courses. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of parents and teachers, and depend upon their own honest and serious efforts.
小题1:The best title for this passage is ________.| A．Depend on Yourself | | B．Don’t Depend on Your Parents | | C．Nobody can help you | | D．The Good Advice |
小题2: From the passage we know that many great men in history ________.| A．learned everything themselves in boyhood | | B．didn’t receive any education | | C．had no relatives or friends | | D．depended on themselves to become famous |
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE?| A．Parents can make you succeed. | | B．Great men in history were very poor. | | C．Teachers would not like to help you to be a man. | | D．Only you can make yourself a great man. |
小题4:Why have some young men failed in everything?| A．They have no ambitions. | | B．They are to be pitied. | | C．They have changed their courses. | | D．They have seen their foolishness. |
