I love it at night. It’s peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I don’t really care for it. I work full-time and too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and somehow got a live-in job taking care of a woman who had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed(瘫痪). The woman had an electric wheelchair. She could move her head and arms but not her hands or fingers. She had this clamp(夹子)attached to her arm and I’d have to open it and put a cup or a pencil in it and then she could move it. She would tell me how to do things. She would instruct me in great detail on the correct way to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. I’m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold everything, including socks and pillow cases. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed and tuck (塞)the corners. I know sometimes she’d get frustrated and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to grab it and do it herself. But she never yelled or scolded. Only insisted I do it right. I didn’t like it much, but I did it. Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt, the right way to do the collar and sleeves. Now that I think about it, I don’t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned. 小题1:From the passage we can infer that the writer of the passage now is ________. A.a housewife | B.a full-time worker | C.a clothes maker | D.a college student | 小题2:The writer used to take care of the lady because ______. A.she wanted to learn how to do housework | B.she was a relative of the disabled woman | C.she wanted to earn some money while sleeping and eating there | D.she had to do something in return to the lady for her kindness | 小题3:When the lady taught the writer how to do housework, the little girl was ______. A.eager to learn | B.unwilling to learn | C.forced to learn | D.careful to learn | 小题4:What’s the writer’s attitude towards the lady now? A.Sympathetic | B.Fearful | C.Hateful | D.Grateful |

I was on the shoulder of a busy highway in Chicago, looking at my tool-box and spare tire (备用轮胎). I had 31 tires before—that was not a big deal—but I was 32 about being approached by another person while stuck on the side of the road, or being 33 by a passing car. As I bent into the trunk (后备箱), I heard a man’s 34 from behind and to my left. I had no idea what he said, 35 when I heard his voice I screamed and ran toward the 36 building. After a moment I realized he wasn’t 37 me, so I turned to see what he was doing. 38 , I saw a minibus full of boy scouts (童子军队员). They then 39 in front of my car. And I heard the man tell the boys to remove the spare tire from my trunk to 40 my flat! As I timidly (胆怯地) walked back, I could hear him speaking to the 41 . “See, boys,” he said to them, “this young lady is terrified, and for good 42 . Thousands of young women are 43 every year. She did the right thing 44 like that.” He then told the boys how they, as men, are 45 not only for 46 and protecting them. After he made that 47 , he gave step-to-step instructions on changing a flat on the side of the road 48 . The boys learned a lot that day, and so did I. I’m so grateful there are 49 men in the world. I saw one, 50 our youth to be honorable, making the world a safer place for women, for everyone.

I studied engineering after enjoying top marks, as high school came relatively easy. Then university life came! I thought that I must have some learning disorder, as it seemed that everyone else was absorbing the material and making progress while to me it was an insurmountable(不能克服的) struggle. There were never enough hours in the day and weekend to attend the lectures, study the lessons and then do the assignment. During my darkest hour I called home to speak to my father: “Dad, I don’t think I can handle this.” My father then said something, which cut through me like a knife: “There is no returning home. If you quit, then you are on your own.” I hung up thinking what a terrible heartless thing to say. Then, I determined to somehow gut it out(坚持到底). There seemed to be no other choices available! Soon afterwards, I noticed a sigh posted in a campus common area stating: “Studying Skills” with a place & time to meet. It said that “there is help available”. I attended that meeting! I soon discovered there were several others in a similar situation and that everyone wanted to help each other get through this challenging first term. I soon found a study partner, who helped me a lot, and I was grateful to him for his kind help. Yes, it was still a very challenging first year, but I found the needed strength and support to get through it. In fact my father has been helping me since then, but he has done it in another way. I know now in my heart that he did the very best help he could to help me fly. Thanks Dad for the push! 小题1:The story happened when the author _____.A.just came to the new high school | B.was in his first term in university | C.was in the last year of high school | D.had been in the university for one year | 小题2:What was the author’s problem?A.His father refused his request of returning home. | B.His father said some terrible words to him. | C.He found the course difficult to understand. | D.He could not understand his teachers. | 小题3:How did the author get through his challenge successfully?A.He got help from his father in another way. | B.He changed the place and time for study. | C.He joined those who helped each other. | D.He paid more attention to study. | 小题4:Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text?A.Differences between high school and university | B.My time in university | C.The importance of being strict with children | D.Push from my father |
