I used to live in a separate room. I loved living 36 . But one day it all changed when my brother Mike asked to 37 my room. At first, my parents said “no” to him, but at last my mother 38 . I cried and begged my parents not to do this, 39 it didn’t work.
As soon as Mike entered my room, my room began to become 40 . To my anger, he often left his unwashed clothes everywhere!
One evening, I was doing my homework on my computer while Mike was listening to music. Later, I left my 41 to get some water. A shock was 42 me when I returned. He had used my computer to play games. I had 43 to save the homework. Sadly, he closed the program 44 saving it--- all my effort had disappeared! I shouted at him at the top of my 45 . He cried a lot as my mother 46 him. My mother also asked him to leave my room 47 .
Then I did my homework once again. At 11:00PM, I 48 it. I was about to turn off my computer when I saw the 49 of my brother that he had put on my table. I looked at his lovely face and remembered how he was crying when my mom punished him. I really felt 50 for him.
I went to him. He was 51 in my parents’ bed. I kissed his forehead. He woke up, 52 and said, “I’m sorry, I won’t bring you 53 again.”
I was so 54 and I hugged him, saying, “From now on, my room is not only 55 . It is ours!”

“I"ve changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back." Lucien Lawrence’s letter to Father Christmas written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched every heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn"t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I" m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn"t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven" t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑衅者)，and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It"s a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword (剑), and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I"m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.
小题1:According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph ________. | A．explains the importance of a telescope | | B．shows the writer"s pity on the kid | | C．acts as an introduction to the discussion | | D．makes a clear statement of the writer"s views |
小题2:In the second paragraph the author mainly wants to explain to us ________. | A．how much he misses his parents now | | B．why his parents often appear in his dream | | C．when Lucien will get over all his sadness | | D．how proud he was when he succeeded in life |
小题3:In the writer"s opinion, the value of a person’s life is ________. | A．to leave behind a precious memory to the people related | | B．to have a high sense of duty to the whole society | | C．to care what others will remember and treasure | | D．to share happiness and sadness with his family |
小题4:What feeling did the author’s mother express in her reply?| A．Proud. | B．Happy. | C．Disappointed. | D．Worried |

I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and 36 asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not 37 them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step 38 on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I 39 something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been 40 to a lamppost. This was just one of the 41 things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop 42 passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated 43 I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would 44 a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to 45 my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
46 on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them 47 making a fool of myself. I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
