had just completed her first brain surgery to remove a tumor and was going through radiation treatment,
was now officially given a two percent chance of survival as this type of cancer had no cure.
My wife and I decided to take our daughter to lunch before continuing our afternoon conversation.
We went to a local restaurant where we sat in silence waiting for the waitress. I noticed a very elderly
couple sitting a few booths away, who were also in silence and did not speak a word. I couldn"t help but
wonder what challenges they had faced in their life and if they ever faced such terrible news about a child
of theirs.
We eventually ordered our lunch and still sitting in silence we ate what we could. At some point I
became intrigued (好奇的) by the old couple. I thought to myself that they hadn"t yet spoken to each
other and I wondered if it was the peace they were enjoying or the food or maybe both. However, at
some point I lost interest and put my focus back on my lunch.
Molly was still talking away and enjoying her meal. Her mom and I both listened and tried to be happy
in her presence but it wasn"t going very well. All of a sudden I saw a hand come out of nowhere. It was
huge and I could tell that it had been afflicted with arthritis (关节炎). I couldn"t take my eyes off that
hand. It landed on my daughter"s tiny six-year-old hand and as it did I looked up; it was the old woman
who had been sitting with the old man in silence eating their lunch.
I looked into her eyes and she spoke, but not to me. She looked at my daughter and simply
whispered, "If I could do more for you I would…" and then she smiled and moved away to join her
husband, who had moved towards the door.
"Look, a whole dollar," Molly spoke with excitement as she discovered a crumpled one dollar bill left
behind by the old lady. I looked up to thank her, but she was gone. I sat stunned, not sure what had just
happened and then I looked over at my wife. In almost unison, we broke out into a smile. The sadness of
the day had been wiped out by the crippled hand and generous touch of the old lady. The dollar, although exciting to Molly, was not what made us smile; it was the offer from the old lady, who felt our suffering.
The crippled hand symbolized a healing touch and made us realize that we did not have to fight this battle
alone.
B. didn"t need any more operations.
C. was likely to die soon.
D. had been treated by radiation.

black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and 3 the other car by 4 inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started
yelling at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and 5 at the guy. And I mean,he was really 6 . So I asked, "Why did
you just do that? This guy almost 7 your car and sent us to the 8 !" This is when my taxi driver taught me 9 I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck."
He 10 that many people are like garbage 11 . They run around full of garbage, full of frustration,
full of anger, and full of 12 . As their garbage piles 13 , they need a place to 14 it and sometimes
they"ll dump it on you. Don"t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don"t take
their garbage and 15 it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that 16 people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life"s 17 short to

from the Ukraine recently spent five weeks in a cage with Katya, a 200-kilo African lioness. Why? Well
for a start, he wanted to raise awareness of the treatment of animals in captivity. Secondly, he hoped to
break the Guinness World Record for time spent living in a cage with a lion. And thirdly? "I wanted to
show my children what kind of man I am," said Oleksander.
For 36 days, Oleksander and Katya shared the cage together. They ate hunks of meat thrown into
the cage by Oleksander"s wife, and slept side by side on a bed of hay. Oleksander did have a few more
creature comforts than his feline flatmate - he built himself a shower and toilet inside the enclosure. But he
didn"t use any soap as the sharp scent is upsetting to lions.
And as if living with the king of the jungle wasn"t dangerous enough, Katya was also pregnant at the
time. She gave birth during Oleksander"s stay. Wild animals are very protective of their young but the
zookeeper said Katya trusted him completely. Oleksander" wife, Olena, was also very trusting. "when he
first told me about the plan I was very scared. But I decided to support my husband."
Once the five weeks was up, Oleksander stepped out of the cage and declared the experiment a
success. He told a Russian news agency, "Katya taught me a lot about honesty and kindness." Also, a
representative from Guinness World Records confirmed that Oleksander ahd beaten the previous record
by three weeks.
But the parting was also bittersweet. "Katya was very sad to see me go," Oleksander noted. Oleksander"s wife, on the other hand, was very happy to have her husband back.
B. He hoped to break the Guinness World Record for time spent living in a cage with a lion.
C. He wanted to show his children his kindness as a man.
D. He wanted to earn money by taking the risk of living with a lion.
B. He equipped the enclosure with modern facilities, for example, a computer.
C. He put up a tent to protect himself from sun and rain.
D. He himself built a shower and toilet inside the enclosure.
B. He didn"t have any access to soap.
C. He didn"t like the smell of soap.
D. Soap was forbidden in the zoo.

C. opposed

down the windows to let in fresh air, she settled back to enjoy her lunch. Suddenly she noticed a big bald man running through the parking lot. Before she came to realize what would happen, the man was there,
shouting through her window, "Get out!"
Neilson refused.
Pulling open her door, the man seized her by the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the
ground. She screamed, grabbing her purse and the keys.
Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a break, heard the screams and began running .
When they reached Neilson"s car, the attacker had jumped into the driver"s seat and was madly
searching for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out. The attacker
fought back. But even in his cornered panic, he was no match for the two athletic men.
Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too. He rushed back to the office
to phone the police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes-used to tie up newspapers.
With his arms tied tight behind him, the prisoner looked up and said coldly, "I hope you guys feel
good about yourselves-you just caught one of the most wanted men." They ignored him and waited for
the police. Later, Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the professional carjacker (劫
车者)and suspected murderer, whose picture-but with a full head of hair-had been recently printed in
their own newspaper.
Neilson considers herself lucky though she suffered injuries. She believes the story might have had a
different ending if those good people had not come to her aid. "Unfortunately," she said, "many people
would never have done what they did, and that is the real truth."
B. without hair
C. ugly
D. rude
a. Neilson was enjoying her lunch in the car.
b. A man robbed Neilson of her car.
c. The picture of the carjacker was printed in the local news paper.
d. The carjacker was caught.

D. abdc
B. The two reporters recognized the carjacker as soon as they saw him.
C. Reggie Miller is also a reporter of the local newspaper.
D. The carjacker was a suspected murderer the police had been searching for.
B. Neilson doesn"t think many people will do the same as the three men.
C. Neilson thinks everyone will do the same as the three men.
D. Neilson has great confidence in people"s kindness and bravery.
B. Accoding to the order of space.
C. By comparison.
D. By putting forward arguments to support an idea.
ritual began after breakfast when Dad always announced: "Go ahead everyone. I"ll take care of the
dishes!" With that my mother disappeared into the folds of the Sunday paper. Off came the suit coat he
had worn to church that morning. Up went the shirtsleeves. On went that apron. For the next hour Dad
did the dishes, singing ballads like "I Had a Hat When I Came In" and "Who Put the Chow in Mrs.
Murphy"s Chowder?"
I suppose it was strange for a boy"s father to wear an apron - even one with race cars - but I never
thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. My father
seemed in an expansive mood as we walked home from church together.
"Tommy," he said letting my name roll off his tongue. My mind raced ahead of his words: The birds
and the bees? A new bike? A part-time job?
"There comes a time in every boy"s life when he must take on responsibilities." This was important. I
might even get to back the car out of the driveway.
" Responsibilities?" I asked.
"Yes. It"s time you took a greater role in the household." Power tools? Boss my baby brother?
"Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can work the
crossword puzzle together."
"The dishes!?"
"Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?"
I started to say something about a man"s job or woman"s work, but I knew immediately that my
protests would fall on deaf ears.
I didn"t taste a bit of breakfast that morning. Dad seemed in a jovial mood as he described an
exceptional Yankee game seen through the eyes of Mel Allen on the radio last night.
"Mickey Mantle drove the ball right over the center field wall," he said. "Just a straight line climb in
right out of the stadium." He looked out the window as if trying to pick the ball out of the cloud formations. I tried to imagine Mickey Mantle wearing an apron.
Suddenly, everything grew quiet. My sister began to clear the table. My brother was scraping the last
of the egg from his plate. And then that ancient family ritual that had filled so many Sunday mornings came
to an end. My father announced: "Let"s go read the paper, Hon."
"Aren"t you doing the dishes?" my mother asked in puzzlement.
"Your oldest son has generously offered to fill the position."
My brother and sister stopped cold. So this was what my life had come to. A dark angel sat on my
left shoulder and reminded me that I could hit a baseball farther than anyone in my class. I could
bench-press my weight. I knew three declensions in Latin, the language of Caesar. Ask me to run
through a rainstorm. Command me to ride the roller coaster - backward. These things I would do. But I
could never do those dishes. There was nothing left but to refuse.
People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the
kitchen just as I was about to storm out. He had loosened his tie and rolled up the sleeves of his
shirt-ready to relax. In his right hand was the old apron.
"I want you to have this, Tommy. It"ll keep your clothes from getting wet." And before I could mount
a protest, he had put the thing on me. "Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this."
With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the plastic. It had seen better days.
I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. The dark angel flew off. Soon I was singing about Mrs.
Murphy"s chowder. The words came out of nowhere. And out of nowhere I knew the kind of man I
wanted to be.
B. Father was not willing to wash dishes.
C. Mother would wash dishes together with father.
D. Mother used to do the dishes alone.
B. Washing dishes was women"s work..
C. Parents should wash dishes.
D. Children should help their parents wash dishes.
B. Mickey Mantle would wash dishes for the author.
C. Father set a good example to the author.
D. The author understood his father at last.
B. humourous
C. responsible
D. generous
B. Father"s Apron
C. Father"s Responsibility
D. Father"s Influence
