would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to
Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and
West Germany.
I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going
abroad.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them
first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and even today I can remember the
excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is otherwise scared of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight.What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable
experience yet again, with the quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart.Even
today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline.
Flying,in general, for me, has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). Flying on Lufthansa, however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.

举一反三
My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we"d be gone an hour, then we be gone one hour or
less-not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath, while
the other kids always wore their clothes for days. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things
to do to us.
Through the years, things didn"t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, "sick" like our friends did, and
miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par(达到正常水平). Our friends" report cards had
beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks.
As the years rolled by, we were one by one put to shame. We were graduated from high school. With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some
higher education. And whom do we have to blame for the terrible way we turned out? You"re right, our
mean mother. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.
Now I am trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean.
Because, you see, I had the meanest mother in the world.

performance and post it online for your friends to see. But what if this led to something beyond your
wildest imagination-a career in music?
Canadian teenager Justin Bieber, 16, has just had the magical experience: He posted homemade videos of his versions of songs by American singer Chris Brown online for his relatives. He received a phone call
from Brown, telling him how much he liked his performance. His singing eventually earned him a fan base
and a record contract. After releasing a popular EP (extended play密纹唱片) record in November 2009, his album My world 2.0 came out last Tuesday.
Bieber sings ballads and songs about puppy love. But is he just another gooey (甜腻的) teen idol?
David Malitz, a columnist with the Washington Post, doesn"t think so. "If we truly want the best for
American children, let us pause and give thanks for Justin Bieber," he writes. "After years of humdrum
bubblegum (乏味的摇滚舞曲) from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, the 16yearold has thrown a
candycoated wrench (扭转) into Disney"s heartthrob (甜心) assembly line (生产线) by giving young
fans something worth screaming their lungs out for: lovable pop songs."
From a boy who grew up below the poverty line with his divorced mom to a star who caused nearriots (近乎失控) in shopping malls, even Bieber himself can"t believe his overnight fame, although his kind of
success is becoming more and more common in the Internet era.
Interested in hockey (冰球), the national sport of Canada, the boy once put up pictures of players on
the walls of his bedroom. He dreamed of being a hockey star and used to practice signing his autograph (签名). He doesn"t need practice now. He signs autographs, if the girls can get close enough, as a music
star.
1．What did Chris Brown think of Justin Bieber"s singing?
A．He didn"t like it.
B．He liked it very much.
C．He didn"t say anything.
D．He supported Justin Bieber.
2．Who is a columnist?
A．Chris Brown.
B．Jay Chou.
C．David Malitz.
D．Miley Cyrus.
3．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A．He had a happy family.
B．His family was very poor once.
C．His family was rich.
D．His family helped him a lot.
4．What"s Justin Bieber"s hobby?

| 阅读理解 "Grandma, Grandma, tell us a story!" Four darling children sat by my feet, looking up at me expectantly. Suddenly, we were interrupted clapping. "Terrific, " the director said, stepping up the stage from the aisle(过道). "Except, could you kids face the audience a bit more?" The kids shifted to face the empty seats, which would be filled in a few days for the church play. "Perfect, " the director said. "Now, Grandma, read to your grandchildren." A pang of sadness hit me. If only I could read to my real grandchild! I had a granddaughter, but I"d never met her. Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a relationship that ended badly. But out of it came a blessing: a baby girl named Lena. I hoped to be a grandmother to her-but shortly after the birth, the mother moved without any address left. Over the years, I asked around town to try and find my son"s exwife(前妻), but it seemed that she didn"t want to be found. I"d just joined this new church a week earlier, and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the play. At least now I could pretend to be a grandma. The rehearsals went well, and finally the day of the show arrived. The performance was great. "You all looked so natural up there, " one of my friends said. Afterward, we went to the church basement for refreshments(茶点). I walked over to one of the girls in the play, Rehearsals had been such a whirlwind(一片忙乱) that we never really got to talk. "How"s my granddaughter?" I joked. "Fine!" she answered. Just then, someone else walked up and asked the girl her name. I wasn"t sure I heard the girl"s answer correctly. But it made me ask her another question. "What"s your mother"s name?" She told me, I was still in shock. "And what"s your father"s name?" I asked. She told me. It was my son. She"d only started going to that church a week before I did. Since that day of the play, we"ve stayed close. Not long ago, she even made me a great grandma. 1.
