题型:不详难度:来源:
You are near the front line of a battle. Around you shells (炮弹)are exploding; people are shooting from a house behind you. What are you doing there? You aren’t a soldier. You aren’t  36  carrying a gun. You’re standing in front of a  37  and you’re telling the TV  38  what is happening.
It’s all in a day’s work for a war reporter, and it can be very  39  . In the first two years of the  40  in former Yugoslavia(前南斯拉夫), 28 reporters and photographers were killed. Hundreds more were  41  .
What kind of people put themselves in danger to  42  pictures to our TV screens and  43  to our newspapers? Why do they do it ?
“I think it’s every young journalist’s  44  to be a foreign reporter,” says Michael Nicholson, “that’s  45  you find the excitement. So when the first opportunity comes, you take it  46  it is a war.”
But there are moments of  47  . Jeremy Bowen says, “Yes, when you’re lying on the ground and bullets(子弹)are flying  48  your ears, you think: ‘What am I doing here? I’m not going to do this again.’ But that feeling  49  after a while and when the next war starts, you’ll be  50  .”
“None of us believes that we’re going to  51  ” adds Michael. But he always  52  a lucky charm(护身符)with him. It was given to him by his wife for his first war. It’s a card which says “Take care of yourself.” Does he ever think about dying? “Oh, 53  , and every time it happens you look to the sky and say to God, ‘If you get me out of this, I  54  I’ll never do it again.’ You can almost hear God  55  , because you know he doesn’t believe you .”

My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought  41 . My complaints, even self-justified shouting, were always landing on  42_   ears.  Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end with their   43  into tears, I felt very frustrated (沮丧的).I realized I needed to   44  my method of “mothering”.
One day when they were at school, I spent some time  45  their rooms. On their desks, in plain   __46  , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was   47   to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.”   48  arriving back, the children were   __49  excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy ___50  for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and   51  asking them to play a certain violin   52  . Each day, thank--you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas   53 .
Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little   54 : “If you can finish your homework and   __55  your lessons before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in   56 of  well done jobs the day  ___57  .
  58  I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its(贴条). The bathroom mirror became the   59  centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.
We all benefited from and   60 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

This was an unforgettable and wonderful experience. It happened about three years ago and it has had a  26 effect on me. I would like to show respect here for the two men I do not know 27  but whose actions gave a new 28  to the words—kind and generous.
I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early  29  . A homeless man, probably about 60 and without wearing any shoes, was 30 for change on a street corner.
A BMW car  31  on the other side of the street and an executive(主管)who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car. He was probably about  32 years old. He was wearing a blue business suit with a deep red silk tie. He walked 33  across the street and over to the homeless man. Without saying anything, he first gave him a lot of 34  and then he sat down and took off his gloves(手套), beautiful black leather shoes and his black dress socks. Then he  35  them to the homeless man. The homeless man took them and stared with a/an  36  mouth.
As he drove off, I couldn’t  37 thinking that it was probably the first time he had  38  the pedal(踏板)of that top-brand BMW car with a 39 foot!  I stood there and the looks of  40    appeared on my face and the homeless man’s.
Two men of about the same age,   41 very different lives had met and the one who was 42 in materials had offered  43 than his shoes. He had left his BMW car and  44 down from his high position. He lifted up the other man when he offered respect,  45 and real generosity.

It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.
Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线). It seemed there was  no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.
My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she
cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute.”
On the way we met Mrs. Patric, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls. There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.
Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly.
It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the housed. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”
The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park, see duck.” “I can’t go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that far.”
My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling. “It’s a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet there’s a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”
I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on,” I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”
Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath(余波) of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of --- what dark and horrible things?
“Say!” A smile sipped out from his lips. “Do you remember --- no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”
I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”
“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp (战俘营), when things weren’t too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”
小题1:Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought________.
A.she was too old to fly kites
B.her husband would make fun of her
C.she should have been doing her housework
D.her girls weren’t supposed to the boy’s games
小题2: By “we were all beside ourselves writer means that they all ________.
A.felt confused B.went wild with joy
C.looked on D.forgot their fights
小题3: What did the author think after the kite-flying?
A.The boys must have had more fun than the girls.
B.They should have finished their work before playing.
C.Her parents should spend more time with them.
D.All the others must have forgotten that day.
小题4:Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?
A.She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.
B.She was reminded of the day they flew kites.
C.She had finished her work in the kitchen.
D.She thought it was a great day to play outside.
小题5: The youngest Patrick boy is mentioned to show that ______.
A.the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memories
B.his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his life
C.childhood friendship means so much to the writer
D.people like him really changed a lot after the war
