At the gathering to celebrate her life, “A Celebration of Hope” on January 16,2011, the 20  was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars.

This week was busier than usual, and I was very tired today. All I wanted to do was to go home and enjoy a bowl of good hot soup.
But when I saw my daughter’s car, I knew that it was Bryan’s night. Since his parents separated, I had tried to have my six-year-old grandson spend a few hours with me at least once a week. I had always tried to make it a special time for him. We did many interesting things; Bryan loved all these activities, and so did I. But today I had to give up our evening. I said how tired I was feeling. “Bryan, I’m sorry. Tonight I don’t feel like having fun or playing games. We’ll have our night together some other time.” I saw the sadness in Bryan’s eyes. He said, “I like soup, Grandma.” I knew he meant “Please don’t send me away. Please let me stay.” I saw the shadow (阴影) in Bryan’s eyes. Something else was changing. Maybe he thought I wouldn’t want to have him come any more — not tonight, not next week, not ever. Finally, I said OK. I was glad to see his eyes light up. After I put the soup on the stove (炉子) and turned on the TV, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, there was a coat over my legs, and the soup was gone. Bryan was on the floor, reading a coloring book and watching a television show at the same time. The poor boy must have been so bored (烦躁的)! When he found I was awake, he ran over and gave me a big hug. “I love you, Grandma,” he said. “Haven’t we had a nice time together?” His big smile and happy eyes told me that this time he meant exactly what he was saying. That was the keyword — together. We had done nothing exciting or special. But we were together.
小题1:What does the underlined part (in Paragraph 2) mean?
A．It was time to cook hot soup for Bryan that night.
B．This was the evening when Bryan stayed with his grandma.
C．Bryan would have a good rest that night.
D．Bryan would stay with his parents that night.
小题2:Why didn’t the author want to stay with her grandson that night at first?
A．She was too tired to have fun or play games with him.
B．She was sick and wanted to have a good rest.
C．She was too busy and had to work overtime that night.
D．She had to prepare soup for the whole family.
小题3:How many times did the author describe Bryan’s eyes?
A．1.B．2.C．3.D．4.
小题4:From the passage, we can infer that _____.
A．Bryan’s parents separated so he had to live with his grandma
B．Bryan was sad that night because his grandma didn’t play with him
C．the author wouldn’t want to stay with her grandson any more
D．the author and her grandson loved each other very much

I had applied for the nuclear（核）submarine(潜艇) program, and Admiral Rickover was interviewing me for the job. It was the first time I met Admiral Rickover, and we sat in a large room by ourselves for more than two hours, and he let me choose any subjects I wished to discuss. Very carefully, I chose those about which I knew most at the time – recent events, seamanship, music, literature, naval tactics(海军战术), electronics, gunnery(射击学) – and he began to ask me a lot of questions that were more difficult. Every time after my answers, he soon showed that I knew rather little about the subjects I had chosen.
He always looked right into my eyes, and he never smiled. I was saturated with cold sweat.
Finally, he asked me a question and I thought it was my turn to show myself off. He said, “How did you stand in your class at Georgia Tech before entering Annapolis as a first year student?” I had done very well, and I threw my chest with pride and answered, “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!” I sat back to wait for the congratulations – which never came. Instead, the question: “Did you do your best?” I started to say, “Yes, sir,” but I remembered who this was, and thought of several of my times at the Academy when I could have learned more about our allies(二战时的同盟国), our enemies, weapons strategy(战略) and so on, so I finally said, “No, Sir, I didn’t always do my best.”
He looked at me for a long time, and then turned his chair around to end the interview. He asked one final question, which I have never been able to forget – or to answer. He said, “Why not?” I sat there for a while, shaken, and then slowly left the room.
小题1:The passage suggests that ___.
A．the atmosphere of the interviews was very serious
B．the author always did his best in doing everything
C．the author and Admiral Rickover were good friends
D．Admiral Rickover knew the author quite well
小题2:The word “saturated” in the second paragraph may probably mean ___.
A．very satisfiedB．completely wetC．rather sadD．too excited
小题3:When the author said: “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!’’ He meant __.
A．he did better than most of his classmates at the Academy
B．he had 820 classmates and he was Number thirty-nine
C．he was proud that the class he was in was very large
D．in the class only thirty-nine students stood in front of him
