Filled with sorrow, I didn’t notice the hardness of the chair I was sitting on. I was at the funeral of my 21 . The sadness was so great that I found it hard to 22 _ at times.
Suddenly, I heard a 23 open and shut at the back of the church. Quick 24 hurried along the floor. A young man looked around in a 25 and then sat next to me. His eyes were full of tears.
“I’m 26 ,” he explained, though no explanation was 27 . After several eulogies (悼文), he leaned over and commented, “ Why do they keep 28 Mary by the name of ‘Margaret’?” “Because that was her name, Margaret. Never Mary,” I 29 . “No, that isn’t correct,” he insisted. “Her name is Mary, Mary Peters.” “That isn’t 30 this is,” I replied. “Isn’t this the Lutheran church?” “No, the Lutheran church is across the street. I believe you’re at the 31 funeral, sir.”
The solemnness (莊嚴(yán)) of the occasion 32 with the realization of the man’s mistake amused me and I could not help 33 . I looked at the man seated beside me. He was laughing， 34 . I imagined Mother laughing. At the 35 “Amen”, we ran out of the door and into the parking lot.
“I do believe we’ll be the 36 of the town,” he smiled. He said his name was Rick and that 37 he had missed his aunt’s funeral, he asked me out for a cup of coffee. That afternoon began a lifelong 38 for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral. A year after our meeting, we were 39 at a country church. This time we both arrived at the same church, right on time.
Whenever anyone asks us how we 40 , Rick tells them, “Her mother and my aunt Mary introduced us.”

Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftop. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it is that most city people --- myself included --- usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have television, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touched the moon.”
1.The best title for the passage would be _________.
A. Touched by the Moon
B. The Pleasures of Modern Life
C. A Bottomless well of Silence
D. Break away from Modern life
2.The writer felt sorry for himself because __________.
A. there was too much pollution.
B. he failed to see the fullest moon.
C. he didn’t adapt to modern inventions
D. there were too many accidents on the road.
3.What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?
A. No modern equipment.
B. Complete silence.
C. The nice moon.
D. The high mountain.
4.Modern things are mentioned mainly to ___________.
A. show that the writer likes city life very much.
B. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life.
C. explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature.
D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them.
5.The author wrote the passage to __________.
A. express the feeling of returning to nature.
B. show the love for the moonlight.
C. advise modern people to learn to live.
D. want to communicate longing for modern life.

The day I became a mom was not the day my daughter was born, but seven years later. Up until that day, I had been too busy trying to survive my abusive(辱罵的) marriage. I had spent all my energy trying to run a "perfect" home that would pass inspection each evening, and I didn't see that my baby girl had become a toddler. I'd tried endlessly to please someone who could never be pleased and suddenly realized that the years had slipped by and could never return.
Oh, I had done the normal "motherly" things, like making sure my daughter got to ballet and gym lessons. I went to all of her recitals and school concerts, parent-teacher conferences and open houses alone. We suffered from my husband's rages(暴怒) when something was spilled(溢出) at the dinner table, telling her, "It will be okay, Honey. Daddy's not really mad at you." I did all I could to protect her from hearing the awful shouting and complaints after he returned from a night of drinking. Finally I did the best thing I could do for my daughter and myself: I removed us from the home that wasn't really a home at all.
That day I became a mom was the day when my daughter and I were sitting in our new home having a calm, quiet dinner just as I had always wanted for her. We were talking about what she had done in school and suddenly her little hand knocked over the full glass of chocolate milk by her plate. As I watched the white tablecloth and freshly painted white wall become dark brown, I looked at her small face. It was filled with fear, knowing what the consequence of the event would have meant only a week before in her father's presence. When I saw that look on her face and looked at the chocolate milk running down the wall, I simply started laughing. I am sure she thought I was crazy, but then she must have realized that I was thinking, "It's a good thing your father isn't here!" She started laughing with me, and we laughed until we cried. They were tears of joy and peace and were the first of many tears that we cried together. That was the day we knew that we were going to be okay.
Whenever either of us spills something, even now, seventeen years later, she says, "Remember the day I spilled the chocolate milk? I knew you had done the right thing for us." That was the day I really became a mom. I discovered that being a mom isn't only going to ballet or gym, recitals, and attending every school concert and open house. It isn't keeping a tidy house and preparing perfect meals. It certainly isn't pretending things are normal when they are not. For me, being a mom started when I could laugh over spilled milk.
---- By Linda Jones from “Chicken Soup for Soul”
1.What does the underlined part "the right thing" refer to?
A．Becoming a single mother.
B．Divorcing with her abusive husband.
C．Doing all the motherly things well and running the family.
D．Not blaming on her daughter’s spilling the chocolate milk.

C．The author hadn’t been a mother until she removed from her marriage.
D．Both the author and her daughter were frightened at the husband and father.
3.Why did the author and her daughter laugh and then cry?
A．Because it was a thorough relief after they had suffered too much.
B．Because they were actually crazy.
C．Because they wouldn’t see the abusive man any more.
D．Because spilling the chocolate milk on the wall was really funny.
4.What is the best title for this article?
A．How To Be a Better Mon? B．The Day I Became a Mom
C．A Thing Happened 17 Years Ago D．Survive an Abusive Marriage

Cheating is nothing new. But today, education and administrations are finding that examples of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent--- and are less likely to be punished---than in the
past. Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike.
Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among today’s youth. Others have attributed(歸因于) increased cheating to the fact that today’s youth are far more practical than their idealistic ancestors. Whereas in the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with visions about changing the word, today’s students feel great pressure to survive and succeed. In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country, both young men and women said that cheating had become easy. Some suggested they did it out of hate for teachers they didn’t respect. Others looked at it as a game. Only if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty. “People are competitive,” said a second-year college student named Anna, from Chicago. “There is an potential fear. If you don’t do well, your life is going to be ruined. The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from yourself. To achieve. To succeed. It’s almost as though we have to surpass people to achieve our own goals.
Edward Wynne, editor of a magazine blames the rise in academic dishonesty in the schools. He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take action. Dwight Huber, chairman of the English Department at Amarillo sees the matter differently, blaming the rise in cheating on the way students evaluated. “I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated,” Mr. Huber said. He feels that as long as teachers give short-answer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can combine and process information, students will try to beat the system. “ The concept of cheating is based on the false belief that the system is legal and there is something wrong with the individual who’re doing it,” he said, “That’s too easy an answer. We’ve got to start looking at the system.”
1.Educators are finding that students who cheat________.
A. have poor academic records
B. use the information in late years
C. can be academically weak or strong
D. are more likely to be punished than before
2.Which of the following statements reflects the information in the passage?
A. The pressure students faced with is partly the reason causing the student cheating.
B. Only the educational system and administrators are to blame for the rise in the cheating.
C. The 1960s vision of changing the world helped students never make mistakes.
D. Punishment for cheaters has always been severe in this country.
3.The phrase “the individuals” in Line 8, Para 3 refers to _________.
A. students who practice cheating
B. parents who put pressure on their children.
C. school administrators who approve of short-answer tests.
D. teachers who are too hesitant to take actions against cheating.
4.The author probably would agree with the point of view that _________.
A. students who cheat should be driven out of school
B. parents alone must take responsibility for the rise in student cheating
C. the educational system is sound, and students must follow every rule
D. the educational system in this country would benefit from a thorough evaluation

Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying. 1 However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace (支撐) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.
Brace yourself for impact (撞擊力). As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the "ten and two" position.
Undo your seatbelt. 2 Untie the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.
3 Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.
Break the window. If you aren't able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you'll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car. 4
Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival. 5 While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.
A. Open the window as soon as you hit the water.
B. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.
C. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.
D. Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.
E. In conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.
F. This is the first thing to attend to, yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.
G. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it.
