Each February 21, her birthday, she would share the secrets of long life. Some years it was “a sense of humour”, others it was “keeping busy”. “God must have forgotten me,” she once explained. The truth probably was that she had good genes: her mother reportedly lived to be 86 and her father 94.
Her life had its sadness: she outlived her husband, her only daughter and her grandson. According to a friend, she was imperturbable. “If you can’t do anything about it,” she reportedly said, “don’t worry about it.”
In her last years she was nearly blind and deaf, but her health remained good. She ate a few bars of chocolate each week and continued smoking until a few years ago, when she could no longer light her own cigarettes. She never lost her sense of humour. On her 110th birthday, she commented, “I’ve only ever had one wrinkle, and I’m sitting on it. “Her longevity made her famous; her spirit made her eternal (永恒的).

The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room. He found it impossible to waked her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and , as a fireman said later, “acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.”
On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He
could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?Grasping firmly a ball of string（线绳） from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother’s room. Tying one end of the string to her hand， he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.

The 14-year-ol
d was born on a ship in the South Pacific, and currently lives with her father on a boat. When child protection agencies heard about her plan to sail alone, they took the case to court and prevented her from making such a dangerous voyage.Since the decision, though, Laura had been preparing with her father to convince the court that she was ready. Later on, she received the books and other materials she would need for school while she was at sea. She added safety equipment to a new, big ship. And she took her first aid course to learn several survival skills, like how to put out fires on the boat, take care of her own injuries and deal with lack of sleep. She also planned a safer course --- adding alternate routes(备用路径) to avoid pirate attacks, and planning a course that would have her on dry land as she moved from port to port across the globe.
Even with all of the added preparations, the trip still has its risks. In early June, 16-year-old Abby Sunderland, an American, had to abandon(放弃) her attempt to become the youngest sailor to travel around the world. Her ship’s mast(桅杆) broke due to rough waters in the Indian Ocean, and she was rescued by a French fishing ship.
Laura plans to take longer than Abby for her voyage, and is using a larger and more stable boat. If she finished successfully in less than two years, she will take the title from current record-holder Jessica Watson, of Australia, who was 16 when she completed the journey.
小题1:Which of the following is TRUE of Laura?
| A．She prepared the voyage at the age of 12. |
| B．She lost her mother after she was born. |
| C．She was allowed to sail around the world finally. |
| D．She wanted to donate money made from the voyage. |
| A．it was considered to be a dangerous trip |
| B．Laura had to finish her schooling first |
| C．it would cost Laura too much time and money |
| D．Laura wasn’t prepared for the sailing alone |
| A．Doubtful | B．Supportive | C．Uncertain | D．Neutral(中立的) |
| A．how Laura convinced the court |
| B．why Laura needed to study at sea |
| C．how Laura prepared for the voyage |
D．where Laura could avoid pirate attacks |
| A．Holland | B．America | C．India | D．Australia |
__40__, a misfortune befell（降临）a girl. One night she was preparing dinner when the kerosene light on the stove was overturned, __41__ in a fire which took her hands away. Having decidedly __42__ her sister’s willingness to help her, she determined to be thoroughly __43__. At school, she always studied hard．Most of all she learned to be self-reliant. “I am lucky.

One day, the young man and the girl were both invited to a（n）__45__ programme. The boy told the television hostess about his __46__ future, whereas the girl was full of __47__ for her life. They were both asked to write something on a piece of paper with their __48__. The boy: My younger brother’s arms are my arms. The girl: Broken wings, flying heart.
Both of them had the same ordeal（痛苦经历）, but their different __49__ determined the nature of their lives. As seems the case, __50__ disasters can strike our life at any time. How you handle the __51__ when faced with it is the true __52__ of your character. If you choose to __53__ or escape from the ordeal, it will follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strong, the __54__ will turn out to be a fortune on which new __55__will arise.
