Mrs Smith trembled(颤抖)with excitement when she was told her fortunes(命运)．“Somebody is coming home to you，”Mrs Gray said slowly．“He’s carrying a rifle(步枪)on his back and he’s almost there．” Mrs Smith felt as if she could hardly breathe．“And there he is!”Mrs Gray cried，pointing to the road．They all rushed to the door to look． A man in a blue coat，with a gun on his back，was walking down the road toward the Smith farm．His face was hidden by a large pack on his back． Laughing and crying，Mrs Smith grabbed(抓住)her hat and her children and ran out of Mrs Gray’s house．She hurried down the road after him，calling his name and pulling her children along with her．But the soldier was too far away for her voice to reach him． When she got back to their farm，she saw the man standing by the fence．He was looking at the little house and the field of yellow wheat．The sun was almost touching the hills in the west．The cowbells rang softly as the animals moved toward the barn(畜棚)． “How peaceful it all is，”Private Smith thought．“How far away from the battles，the hospitals，the wounded and the dead．My little farm in Wisconsin．How could I have left it for those years of killing and suffering?” Mrs Smith hurried up to her husband．Her feet made no sound on the grass，but he turned suddenly to face her．For the rest of his life，he would never forget her face at that moment. “Emma!”he cried. The children stood back watching their mother kissing this strange man．He saw them，and kneeling down，he pulled from his pack three huge red apples．In a moment，all three children were in their father’s arms．Together，the family entered the little unpainted farmhouse． Later that evening，after supper，Smith and his wife went outside．The moon was bright，above the eastern hills．Sweet，peaceful stars filled the sky as the night birds sang softly． His farm needed work．His children needed clothing．He was no longer young and strong．But he began to plan for next year．With the same courage he had faced the war，Private Smith faced his difficult future． 1.Why could Mrs Smith hardly breathe when told her fortunes?

London’s newest skyscraper(摩天大楼)is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build．At a height of almost 310 meters，it is the tallest building in Europe．The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London．However，not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better． The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano．When he began designing the Shard for London，Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire(尖顶)．The sides of the building aren’t regular．So the building has an unusual shape．And that is how the building got the name：the Shard．Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition．The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅杆)of the ships that were once on the river Thames． The Shard has 87 floors．At the moment the building is empty，but finally there will be a five-star hotel．There will also be top quality restaurants，apartments and offices． Before building work began，a lot of people didn’t want the Shard though the plans were approved．Now they are still unhappy about the Shard．Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York，but not in London．They say that the best thing about the Shard is its shape．But that is the only thing．There is no decoration，only flat surfaces．The Egyptians(埃及人)did that 4，500 years ago． Other critics don’t like what the Shard seems to represent．They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal．Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive apartments and stay in the hotel．But the people living near the Shard are among the poorest in London．So the Shard seems a symbol of the division(分化)in society between the very rich and the poor． The Shard now dominates the London skyline．It is not certain，however，that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city． 1.London’s newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of_________． A. its cost B. its shape C. its height D. its size 2.When he designed the Shard，Piano wanted it to_________． A. inherit London’s tradition B. attract foreign visitors C. copy the Egyptian style D. change London’s skyline 3.The critics who refer to social division think the Shard_________． A. is only preferred by the rich B. is intended for wealthy people C. is far away from the poor area D. is popular only with Londoners 4.Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Shard：Cheers and Claps B. The Shard：Work of a Great Architect C. The Shard：New Symbol of London? D. The Shard：A Change for the Better?
