[详细]举一反三
Something roared like thunder. The earth shook a little and we heard the rat-a-tat-tat of gunfire. "Father!" Hassan cried. We sprung to our feet and raced out of the living room.
"Father! What"s that sound? Hassan screamed, his hands outstretched toward Ali. Ali wrapped his arms around us. A white light flashed and lit the sky in silver. It flashed again and was followed by rapid sharp sounds of gunfire. "They"re hunting ducks." Ali said in a hoarse voice. "They hunt ducks at night, you know." Don"t be afraid.
A siren(汽笛) went off in the distance. Somewhere glass broke and someone shouted. I heard people on the street, jolted from sleep and probably still in their pajamas, with ruffled hair and puffy eyes. Hassan was crying. Ali pulled him close, clutched him with tenderness.
We stayed huddled that way until the early hours of the morning. The shootings and explosions had lasted less than an hour, but they had frightened us badly, because none of us had ever heard gunshots in the streets. They were foreign sounds to us then. The generation of Afghan children whose ears would know nothing but the sounds of bombs and gunfire was not yet born. Huddled together in the dining room and waiting for the sun to rise, none of us had any notion that a way of life had ended. The end came when Russian tanks were rolling into the very same streets where Hassan and I played, bringing the death of the Afghanistan I knew and marking the start of a still ongoing era of bloodletting.
Just before sunrise, Baba"s car peeled into the driveway. His door slammed shut and his running footsteps pounded the stairs. Then he appeared in the doorway and I saw something on his face. Something I didn"t recognize right away because I"d never seen it before: fear. "Amir! Hassan!" He cried as he ran to us, opening his arms wide. "They blocked all the roads and the telephone didn"t work. I was so worried!"
We let him wrap us in his arms and, for a brief moment, I was glad about whatever had happened that night.

On Sundays my father always wore that gray apron(围裙)—the one with the race cars all over it. The ritual (老规矩) began. breakfast when Dad always announced, “Go ahead everyone. I’ll the dishes!” For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing ballads (歌谣) like “I Had a Hat When I Came in.” and “Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Marphy’s Chowder?”
I suppose it was for a boy’s father to wear an apron—even one with race cars— I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. As we home slowly from church together, my father seemed very . “Tommy,” he said letting my name roll off his . “There comes a time in every boy’s when he must take on responsibilities. It’s time you a greater role in the family. From now on, I want you to the dishes on Sunday morning, so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle (纵横字谜) together.”
“The dishes!?” I in surprise.
“Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?” father said.
I started to say something about a man’s or woman’s work, but I knew immediately that my protests (抗议) would be .
I didn’t taste a bit of that morning. Dad seemed joyful as he described an American game.[]
At the end of the meal, my father , “Let’s go to read the paper, honey.” “Aren’t you doing the dishes?” my 51 asked surprisedly. Father smiled and said, “your oldest son has to fill the position.”
“I want you to have this apron on, Tommy. It’ll keep your clothes from getting .” And before I could go against it, he had put the thing on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I this.”
With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked at the dishes. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. He was always happy to help the family. My anger soon flew off and I began to sing.

I remembered that when I was a little child, I used to look for Sunday of the week. Yes, I was so looking forward to an adventure.
Now, I still have a strong affinity for buses. I used to wonder where those gigantic (巨大的) buses finally stopped. On sunshine Sundays, that’s my adventure times. He took me to the bus stop. Time passed, while I was growing impatient, he was smiling, as he always does.
It was really not that easy to get on a bus as often as we do today. I was so worried that the bus driver would have missed us. I waved my hands so high with all my strength. I looked hopefully at him. He didn’t move at all. He was still standing. It seemed that the late and infrequent coming of the bus wasn’t any trouble to him at all.
He took my hand. We managed to find seats on the upper deck. I was so excited. Only sitting beside the windows made me happy. Looking at the rewinding buildings, streets and people through windows from a higher ground was so much fun. Then, he was sitting peacefully by me and whispered to me where the bus finally would stop. I was curious about what would be the next stop of our destination as much as what really means something to him.[]
That is me. I know now. I am all he cares. He wants me to be happy, as he always does. That’s the strong bond between father and son. Childhood, naive(天真) and precious, you showed me the world and the way I look at the world. I am so grateful for your presence in my life. Thanks, you are so wonderful!

Not too long ago, our teacher, being a “tree-hugger” (as the kids call her), had us write an essay on an environmental issue . I was eager to start, but something made me stop.
“What is an environmental issue ?” one kid asked . “What if we don’t care about the environment ?” another complained. “ It’s not like it affects me .”
These comments astounded me .I have always cared about the environment and assumed that others did too. From the surprised look on my teacher’s face, I could tell she felt the same way.
In no time, I finished my essay . In my essay I wrote about logging(伐木), which is an important industry, but if we continue to cut down trees without replacing them, it will damage the environment.
There are so many things that we can do to save our world. Recycling, of course, is always a good thing, but not everyone has a recycling plant nearby ( I don’t ) . There are other ways to help the environment . Plant a tree. Don’t waste water.
I can’t stand it when a person’s excuse for not caring is “Nothing’s going to happen in my lifetime, so why should I care ?” Sure, the chances of something terrible happening are slim, but I want people to realize that if we don’t deal with it, someone will have to eventually. Do you want that to be your children ?
When my teacher told me to read my essay to my class, I was a little embarrassment because I didn’t want everyone to call me “tree- hugger”. I realize now that if being a tree-hugger means you cares about the environment, I’m a tree-hugger 100 percent. I just wish more people were too.
小题1:Why do the students call her teacher “tree-hugger” ?| A．She likes hugging trees. | | B．She knows a lot about trees. | | C．She grew up in the country. | | D．She cares a lot about the environment. |
小题2:The underlined word in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ____.| A．helped | B．changed | C．shocked | D．interested |
小题3:Paragraph 5 is mainly about ____.| A．what we can recycle | | B．how we can save the earth | | C．why we should protect the earth | | D．what damage we are doing to the earth |
小题4:We can infer from the text that _____| A．the students don’t like the teacher | | B．the teacher liked the author’s essay | | C．the author is ashamed of being a tree-hugger | | D．the author should have written a better essay |
