I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change. And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites. So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “What’s the matter?” I asked her. “Tom,” she said in a voice filled with sadness, “ I don’t?” “What do you mean?” “Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?” It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing. “No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.” 1.From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage______. A.with his family B.with Evelyn C.alone D.with his children 2.During the two weeks on the beach,Tom showed more love to his wife because______. A.the doctor said his wife was seriously ill B.he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm C.she looked lovely in her new clothes D.he was determined to be a good husband 3.The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What does“ one thing”refer to? A.He praised her sweater, which puzzled her. B.He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying. C.He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her. D.She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated. 4.By saying“I’m just starting to live,”Tom means that______. A.he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband B.he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life C.he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change D.he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before

When Peng Liyuan stepped off the plane in Moscow, the whole world wanted to know who dressed the elegant first lady. The reporter released the secret——Ma Ke. Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke's designs for more than a decade, a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit, accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping. The elegant and attractive Peng, formerly a popular singer, has been compared with the US' first lady Michelle Obama and France's Carla Bruni－ Sarkozy, since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22. Suddenly, everyone was curious to know more about the first lady's wardrobe. Even so, Ma prefers a low-key approach. “If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen?” she says of all the media attention. Ma's relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind. Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma's designs and had been wearing them for years. The two naturally became friends. Ma says: “The painting reflects the painter, and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer. Someone desires fame and wealth, or love and sympathy; what you have in your heart is reflected in the design. Those who don't share my philosophy won't buy my clothes. Peng is a caring person, devoted to charity and environmental protection, which is exactly what I'm doing now.” However, regardless of the brand, Peng's support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands. “Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion, desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage，” says a western designer. The first lady's double-breasted coat and her black leather handbag aren't available at any of exception's shops, though Exception's physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors. 1.The passage mainly discusses________. A.the friendship between Peng Liyuan and her designer B.the designer of the first lady Peng Liyuan's dress, Ma Ke C.Peng Liyuan's clothes on her first state visit D.the reactions to Peng Liyuan's first visit to Moscow 2.In the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 Ma Ke mentioned “an egg and the hen” to show________. A.paying such great attention to her was unnecessary B.it is hard to explain “Which came first, the egg or the hen?” C.the outcome was more important than the process D.her dissatisfaction with the media attention on her dress 3.What can be inferred from the passage? A.First ladies compete with each other whenever they are together. B.Peng's suits can be bought in Ma Ke's clothes stores. C.Ma Ke offered to design the first lady's clothes through her friends. D.Peng had liked Ma's designs long before she got to know her in the flesh. 4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A.Peng wears the dress designed by a Chinese designer probably to support Chinese brands. B.Many citizens found Peng Liyuan's choice quite unexpected.
