their land. The government had set up a reservation for them in Idaho. Chief Joseph did not want to leave
the land. It was holy ground. It contained the bones of his father and mother.
But, like his father in earlier times, Chief Joseph knew it would be hopeless to stay and defend the
land. There were too few Indians to win a war against the white men.
And so in June of eighteen seventy-seven, the Nez Perce left their home in the Wallowa Valley. They
left quickly. They were able to take only a small part of what they owned, and just a few cattle and
Appaloosa horses.
When the Indians reached the Snake River, the water was very deep and ran very fast with melted
snow from the mountains. Chief Joseph and his people made boats from sticks and dried animal skins to
cross the river. While the Indians were busy, a group of white men came and stole some of the cattle
waiting at the edge of the river.
The other chiefs demanded that Joseph call a meeting. Two of the chiefs, White Bird and
Toohoolhoolzote, spoke for War, but Joseph held different opinion.
Some of the young men in White Bird"s group were very angry. That night, they rode into the
countryside and killed eleven white persons.
During all his years as chief, Joseph had tried to keep the peace. Now he saw there was no hope.
Although he and his young men had taken no part in the killings, he knew that the white men would blame
all of the Indians. Chief Joseph said, "I would have given my own life if I could have undone the killing of
the white men."
Many Nez Perce fled. Chief Joseph remained, because his wife was about to have a baby. After she
gave birth, he and his family joined the others in White Bird Canyon to the south.
Joseph wanted to lead the people to safety in the flat lands of Montana. But the United States army
quickly sent horse soldiers to follow them.
They were extremely tired when they reached White Bird Canyon. An Indian-carrying a white
flag-walked forward to meet them. A soldier shot him.
With that shot, war between the Nez Perce and the United States began.
B. He didn"t want to be separated from his parents.
C. He had special feeling for the land where he was living.
D. He didn"t want to live with the white men.
B. Chief Joseph and his people were unwilling to cross the deep river.
C. When the Indians reached the Snake River, it was very hard for them to cross it.
D. While the Indians were waiting by the river, a group of white men stole some of the cattle.
B. white men often killed some Indians
C. chief Joseph was afraid of white men
D. conflicts often happened between the Indians and the white
B. Chief Joseph tried his best to keep peace
C. All the Nez Perce fled
D. The United States army wanted to revenge(报仇)
B. The American Civil War.
C. Chief Joseph and his children.
D. The Nez Perce Indians.

with the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The case has caused a national debate in the United
States about race, self-defense laws and gun control.
It was the first time the public had gotten to see and hear from George Zimmerman. The judge said he
had found probable cause to move ahead with the case and told Zimmerman he would be formally
charged on May 29th.
Zimmerman turned himself into authorities on Wednesday night, just before special prosecutor (检举
人)Angela Corey announced the charge against him.
Corey told reporters she would fight for Trayvon Martin.
"It"s the victims and justice that we work tirelessly for " Corey said.
Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense after spotting the teenager in a gated community
where Martin"s father lives. He told police Martin attacked him during a conflict.The shooting caused a
national cry led by Martin"s parents who insisted their son was murdered. They also accused Zimmerman
of targeting their son because he was black.
"We just wanted an arrest and we got it," Trayvon Martin"s mother Fulton said.
Many in Sanford, Florida -the city where the shooting took place-welcomed the charge.
"All of us were wanting this to move on and get to this process where it is now into the justice
system," one man said.
"It was long overdue (迟到的) and I am glad they decided to do something," another said.
Police did not initially charge Zimmerman with a crime because of a Florida law that says a person
has a right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force. Prosecutor Corey say:
"" I"m prepared to argue the issue if Zimmerman uses the self-defense law in court"".
Mark O"Mara, Zimmerman"s lawyer, would not make his plan public, but he said his client (委托人)
was worried about the trial.
"If found guilty of the second-degree murder charge, Zimmerman could face up to life in prison.",
O"Mara said.
B. Because Trayvon Martin"s father was a famous lawyer.
C. Because the case was related with race, self-defense laws and gun control.
D. Because George Zimmerman would be sentenced to life in prison.
B. She wanted to defend justice for the victims.
C. She hated George Zimmerman very much.
D. She was against self-defense.
B. Mark O"Mara was Zimmerman"s lawyer.
C. Sybrina Fulton was Martin"s mother.
D. Angela Corey was the judge of the case.
B. Zimmerman would be put into prison.
C. Zimmerman shot Martin in self-defense in a gated community.
D. Zimmerman targeted Trayvon Martin because he was black.
B. Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin"s mother couldn"t agree on how the thing happened
C. Mark O"Mara was willing to make his plan public
D. police did not charge Zimmerman with a crime at last

with volunteers. Students like Campbell Snoddy collect food that ____________ by students, parents
and teachers from each classroom. Then, the children check to make sure the food isn"t too old. After
that, they sort it by category and put the cans and boxes into bags to be delivered to low-income senior
citizens in the community.
"I wanted to teach my daughter about philanthropy (慈善)," says Julie Rosenthal, who started the
non-profit program six years ago. "And I wanted to teach other kids in the community, too."
Children make their deliveries around the 15th of the month, when money from monthly Social
Security checks begins to run out and tough decisions between food and other needs have to be made.
"I am on a fixed income and the food has helped me out considerably," says Linda Testerman, a food
receiver. "
"It was really fun, it was great to make the senior citizens happy," says Campbell. "It was really cool."
Sofia Merkowitz, another Food on the 15th volunteer, agrees. "I really liked it because it made me feel
really good that people were so happy that they got food."
Rosenthal says that is why she has children do more than fill a bag with donated food.
"We want the children to have firsthand experience delivering the food to the people so that they can
get that feeling of really making a difference in somebody"s life, a positive difference."
The program started with one school delivering 30 bags of groceries. It has grown each year, and now
involves 10 schools and several churches. Food on the 15th has delivered more than 12,000 bags so far. Rosenthal"s goal is to expand Food on the 15th across the country and around the world.

My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen.
While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of
love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, "Kemmons, you
are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it."
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother
spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk
again if I wanted to. She drove that message so deep onto my heart that I finally believed her. A year
later, I returned to school-walking on my own!
When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the
both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on
a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels
available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2for each child. That was too expensive
for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families
that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even
designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother"s
words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the
largest hotel system in the world-Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty
countries with an income of $ 1billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working
for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.
B. His previous business success.
C. His mother"s objection.
D. The doctor"s words.
B. Careful, helpful and beautiful.
C. Strict, sensitive and supportive.
D. Loving, supportive and strong-willed.
B. Mom"s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work.
C. Mom"s encouragement, a poor family, higher education, and clear goals.
D. Mom"s encouragement, a poor family, higher education, and opportunities.
became different, as I changed from an acceptably attractive woman to an object of pity and 1 .
Too busy 2 physical pain and obvious mobility limitation, I was not aware of this change at first. I was
determined to 3 , feeling good about the progress I had made, as I moved forward.
4 , as I made my first excursion outside the hospital, society had already assigned me a new status.
Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall - a 5 survivor,
feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I had a rude 6 as I discovered that others did not view me in
the way I had come to view myself.
All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to 7 my eyes forced
me to realize they saw only my missing legs. Mothers 8 held their children closer as I passed. Elderly
women patted me on the head saying, "God Bless You!" with 9 in their eyes.
While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with
unembarrassed 10 at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look,
she innocently asked, "Lady, where did your legs go?"
I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadn"t been strong and healthy like hers, the
doctors had to 11 them. Leaning her head upwards, she asked, "Did they go to "Leg Heaven"?"
That incident made me think about how 12 children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an
odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a 13 learning experience while adults often view the same
thing with fear and horror. I began to realize that, I, too had been 14 of the same inappropriate
reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.
To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye contact, and speak in a
confident manner. By using a 15 approach, I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a
not-so-perfect body doesn"t mean having a poor quality of life.
