It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game. Skepticism (怀疑态度) had kept me from believing in true love — one that is pure and lasting. However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. They had love down pat. It was more than their flirtatious (爱调戏的) little games; it was a way of life. Their relationship was based on devotion and passionate love.
Grandma and Grandpa held hands every chance they could. They stole kisses as they bumped into each other in their tiny kitchen. They finished each other’s sentences and shared the daily crossword puzzle and word jumble. My grandma whispered to me about how cute my grandpa was, how handsome and old he had grown to be. She claimed that she really knew “how to pick ‘em.”
But there came a dark cloud into my grandparents’ life: when my grandmother got breast cancer. Gradually it took over the whole of her body. One day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone.
“Shmily.” It was scrawled in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet (花束). The family came forward and gathered around Grandma one last time. Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother’s casket (棺) and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and sadness, the song came, a deep and throaty lullaby (催眠曲,). Shaking with my own sorrow, I would never forget that moment.

试题【My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own speci】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons. Eight times he’s not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also towed (拉着) him 2.4 miles in a dinghy (小游艇) while swimming and pedaled (蹬车) him 112 miles — all in the same day. And what has Rick done for his father? Not much — except save his life.
This love story began in Winchester, Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled (使窒息) by the umbilical cord (脐带) during birth, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs.
When Rick was 11 the Hoyts took him to hospital and asked if there was anything to help the boy communicate. “No way,’’ Dick was told. “There’s nothing going on in his brain.’’
“Tell him a joke,’’ Dick countered (反驳). They did. Rick laughed. It turns out that a lot was going on in his brain. Equipped with a computer that allowed him to control the cursor (光标) by touching a switch with the side of his head, Rick was finally able to communicate.
And after a high school classmate was paralyzed (瘫痪) in an accident and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick pecked out (啄出), “Dad, I want to do that.’’
How was Dick, who had never run more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried.
That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,’’ he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled any more!’’

Then somebody said, “Hey, Dick, why not a triathlon (三项全能运动)?’’
Now they’ve done 212 triathlons, including four 15-hour Ironmans in Hawaii.
This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 24th Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters. Their best time? Two hours, 40 minutes in 1992 — only 35 minutes off the world record.
“No question about it,’’ Rick types. “My dad is the Father of the Century.’’
And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago he had a heart attack during a race. Doctors found that one of his arteries (动脉) was 95% blocked. “If you hadn’t been in such great shape,’’ one doctor told him, “you probably would have died 15 years ago.’’ So, in a way, Dick and Rick saved each other’s life.
小题1:What is the meaning of the underlined word ‘limbs’ in Paragraph 3?
A.fingers and toes | B.hands and feet | C.arms and legs | D.wrists and knees |
A.reached the finish line within 160 minutes | B.nearly broke the world record |
C.did better than 5082 athletes | D.completed the journey 35 minutes ahead of time |
A.Rick’s love for his father. | B.Rick’s joining in the charity run with his father. |
C.A computer enabling Rick to communicate. | D.Rick’s strong will and perseverance. |
A.Dick was considered as the Father of the Century by the public. |
B.Rick made his father so well-known that the doctors treated him well. |
C.Dick got into great shape by assisting his son in marathons and triathlons. |
D.Rick saved his father when he had a heart attack in a race two years ago. |
Thousands of people in the world are a hundred years old-or more and certain parts of the world are famous for the long lives of their inhabitants: the Vilacamba Valley in Ecuador, and the home of the Hunzas in the Himalayas.
Why do so many people live to a healthy old age in certain parts of the world? What is the secret of their long lives? Three things seem to be very important: fresh air, fresh food and a simple way of life.People work near their homes in the clean mountain air instead of travelling long distances to work by bus, car or train.They do not sit all day in busy offices or factories, but work hard outdoors in the fields.They take more exercise and eat less food than people in the cities of the West.For years the Hunzas of the Himalayas did not need policemen, lawyers or doctors.There was no crime, no divorce and not much illness in their society. They were a happy, peaceful people, famous all over India for their long, healthy lives.
Do you want to live to a hundred years old? Here are some rules for success.Firstly, choose your parents and grandparents carefully.If they lived or live to a good old age, so will you.Secondly, live in the right place.Thirdly, choose the right kind of job.Doctors, dentists and bus-drivers die young.Farmers, priests and orchestral conductors live much longer.If you are in the wrong kind of job, you can still improve your way of life.
An old man in the Caucasus was talking about his past life."I was young then," he said, as he described his 87th year.His secret was: "Think young and stay young." An old woman from Missouri, USA, gave this advice, "Drink a little whisky and some warm beer every day." An English lady just said, "Take a cold bath every morning." The shortest, simplest piece of advice came from Mr.Jim Chapman, aged 103."Just keep breathing," he told reporters.
72.Who is most likely to live a long life?
A.A doctor. B.A bus-driver. C.A dentist. D.An orchestral conductor.
73.We can see from the passage that long-lived people avoid ____.
A.working hard B.drinking
C.eating too much D.taking cold baths
74.The passage indicates that we can change our _____to live a long life.
A.jobs B.places of living C.ways of living D.ways of thinking
75.What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A.Whose advice is the best.
B.Who is the most long-lived person in the world.
C.Lifestyles of long-lived people.
D.How long-lived people think of their life.

Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess, but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to find one, but 36 could he get what he wanted. There were enough princesses, but it was 37 to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it 38 be. So he came home again and was sad, 39 he would have liked very much to have a real princess.
One evening a terrible storm 40 ; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was 41 at the city gate, and the old king went to open it. It was a princess 42 out there in front of the gate. But, good gracious! what 43 the rain and the wind had 44 her look. The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels. 45 she said that she was a real princess.
“Well, we"ll soon find that out.” 46 the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and 47 a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses(床垫)and put 48 on the pea, and then twenty eiderdownbeds(鸭绒被)on top of the 49 .

Now they knew that she was a real princess because she had 53 the pea right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds.
Nobody but a real princess could be as 54 as that.
So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess. And the pea was put in the museum, 55 it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it.

The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident(进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question 36 more than one occasion.
The answer, I concluded, was 37 . When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just 38 or better than any other surgeon” — then, and not until then, you are 39 a surgeon. I was 40 that point.
41 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night. The first few months of the year I had 42 the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical decision to be 43 . Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular 44 , I’d have trouble getting back to sleep. I’d 45 all the facts of the case and, often, wonder 46 I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the 47 , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of 48 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only 49 I could find the 50 of mind I needed to relax.
Now, in the last month of my residency, 51 was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to 52 this as a constant problem for a surgeon. I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I’d made was bound to be a 53 one. It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited(自负的) and I guess it is — 54 a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he’s bothered by the 55 and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that he’s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit — call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.
36. A. at B. in C. on D. for
37. A. self-service B. self-centered C. self-reliant D. self-confidence
38. A. as good as B. as well as C. as far as D. as long as
39. A. indeed B. maybe C. perhaps D. even
40. A. waiting B. standing C. lying D. nearing
41. A. Let B. Take C. Have D. Get
42. A. valued B. avoided C. feared D. enjoyed
43. A. made B. applied C. included D. developed
44. A. condition B. state C. occasion D. situation
45. A. retell B. review C. revise D. remind
46. A. if B. why C. how D. when
47. A. evening B. day C. morning D. afternoon
48. A. flat B. bed C. house D. apartment
49. A. means B. approach C. method D. way
50. A. peace B. trouble C. sorrow D. excitement
51. A. driving B. reviewing C. sleeping D. lying
52. A. expect B. accept C. respect D. inspect
53. A. critical B. poor C. sound D. difficult
54. A. but B. or C. so D. and
55. A. confidence B. conceit C. solutions D. doubts
