The teacher was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry.  The miller at Cresscombe lent him the small cart and horse to carry his goods to Christminster, the city of his destination, such a vehicle proving of quite enough size for the teacher’s belongings.  For his only article, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a piano that he had bought when he thought of learning instrumental music.  But the eagerness having faded, he had never acquired any skill in playing, and the purchased article had been a permanent trouble to him.

The headmaster had gone away for the day, being a man who disliked the sight of changes.  He did not mean to return till the evening, when the new teacher would have arrived, and everything would be smooth again.

The blacksmith, the farm bailiff and the teacher were standing in confused attitudes in the sitting room before the instrument.  The teacher had remarked that even if he got it into the cart he should not know what to do with it on his arrival at Christminster, since he was only going into a temporary place just at first.

A little boy of eleven, who had been assisting in the packing, joined the group of men, and said, “Aunt has got a fuel-house, and it could be put there, perhaps, till you’ve found a place to settle in, sir.”

“Good idea,” said the blacksmith.

The smith and the bailiff started to see about the possibility of the suggested shelter, and the boy and the teacher were left standing alone.

“Sorry I am going, Jude.” said the latter gently.

Tears rose into the boy’s eyes.  He admitted that he was sorry.

“So am I,” said Mr. Phillotson.

“Why do you go, sir?” asked the boy.

“Well ----- don’t speak of this everywhere.  You know what a university is, and a university degree?  It is the necessary hallmark of a man who wants to do anything in teaching.  My scheme, or dream, is to be a university graduate.  By going to live at Christminster, I shall be at headquarters, so to speak, and if my scheme is practicable at all, I consider that being on the spot will afford me a better chance.”

The smith and his companion returned.  Old Miss Fawley’s fuel-house was practicable; and she seemed willing to give the instrument standing-room there.  So it was left in the school till the evening, when more hands would be available for removing it; and the teacher gave a final glance round.

At nine o’clock Mr. Phillotson mounted beside his box of books, and waved his friends good-bye.

Susan Sontag (1933 ------ 2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature.  For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything----- to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing.  When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art.  With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.

Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong watchwords (格言), but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture.  In Notes Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous.  Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents “a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’”.

By conviction she was a sensualist (感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward.  In Illness as Metaphor ------published in 1978, after she suffered cancer ------ she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed (被压抑的) personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease.  In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.

In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000.  But it was as a tireless, all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame.

“Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending… is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.”  And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.

1.It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that Sontag _________.

A.was a symbol of American cultural life

B.developed world literature, film and artzxxk

C.published many essays about world culture

D.kept pace with the newest development of world culture

2.She first won her name through _________.

A.publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review

B.her story of a Polish actress

C.her explanation of a set of difficult understandings

D.her book Illness as Metaphor

3.From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learn that ________.

A.she was more of a moralist than a sensualist

B.she was more of a sensualist than a moralist

C.she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illness

D.she would like to re-examine old positions

4.According to the passage, Susan Sontag would agree to the ideas except _________.

A.We should try hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art.

B.Cancer can be defeated because it is a special problem of repressed personalities.

C.‘Form’ should be over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ should be over ‘morals.

5.What is the passage mainly about?

When we read books we seem to enter a new world.  This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very    1   .  Some stories are told    2   they were true.  Real people who live in a normal world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do.  Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not    3   .  They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be   4 for us.

But there is more to books and writing than this.  If we think about it, even realistic writing is only    5   .  How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real?  For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we do seem to learn something about the real world.  And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than    6   .  Reading, like writing, is an action.  It is a way of    7   .  When we read or write something, we do much more than simply look at words on a page.  We use our    8   --- which is real --- and our imagination ---which is real in a different way --- to make the words    9   in our minds.

Both realism and fantasy use the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think.  When we read    10   realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we know that we are real and they are not.  It sounds   11   , but it works.  When we read, we fill in missing information and    12   about the causes and effects of what a character does.  We help the writer by pretending that what we read is like real life.  In a way, we are writing the book, too.

Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our    13   when we are reading.  We    14   a book and lose ourselves in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next.  Knowing how we feel    15   we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

Yesterday morning, I was surprising to hear that my best friend Allee has been

hit by a car and was in hospital. The other day when he was going to cross a street,

he was such careful that he didn’t go until he saw the traffic light to turn green. But

hardly had he got to the middle of the street while he saw a car suddenly appear on

his right-hand side and come directly towards them. It was too late for Allee to

escape. He was hit by the car or was thrown a few meters away. He was sent to the

nearest hospital immediately and had operation. When I went to see him, he was

out of dangers but still looked pale. I sincere hope he will recover and return to

normal as soon as possible.
