I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer, none came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded (折叠) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

Bicycles are a great way to get around. They’re fun to ride, especially down hills. And, as you speed along the road, you might also think of ways in which you could improve your bike— make it safer, more efficient, or more comfortable. In fact, the two-wheeled machines make for some cool science projects.
This year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), held last May in Cleveland, featured（had）three bicycle projects from three countries. Like many of the other experiments presented at ISEF, the bike projects showed that some of the most interesting scientific research often begins by taking a closer look at things you care about.
Renato Angulo Chu had even grander ambitions. The 12th-grader from Lima, Peru, wanted to address some of his country's economic troubles.
"I see a problem in my country," Renato said. "If you go to the forests in Peru, in some places you cannot find electricity. If you go with my bicycle, you can turn on the lights."
Renato, 16, spent 3 years designing his special Multibike. The device looks like a fixed exercise bike. It has wires fixed along the frame and a blender strapped (fastened) to the back. Turning the pedals operates the blender. The same principle can be used to sharpen knives or sweep city streets.
The Multibike can work either as a fixed bike or as a bicycle able to travel city streets and country roads. It's made from inexpensive materials, and the user gets exercise while pedaling to operate a machine.
"You pedal the bike, and you can mix any drink you want," Renato said. More importantly, he added, the same concept could be used to bring light to houses in remote regions of the rainforest.
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
|
A．Bikes should be made more comfortable to ride. |
|
B．You can improve your bicycle for science research. |
|
C．Many inventions are connected with the bicycle. |
|
D．Bicycles are the best way to go about |
2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
|
A．ISEF is an exhibiton displaying bicycle experiments designed by students. |
|
B．Looking closely at things you are concerned about can lead to scientific research. |
|
C．Renato’s improvement of the bicycle has solved the country’s great problem. |
|
D．Renato’s special bicycle will soon be put into use in remote areas.’ |
3.The underlined word “address” in the third paragraph probably has the same meaning as _______.
|
A．make address written |
B．give up |
C．work at |
D．speak at |
4.Renato’s special Multibike has all the following EXCEPT ________.
|
A．making knives sharp |
B．mixing any kind of drinks |
|
C．producing electricity |
D．operating a machine with its own electricity |
5.It can be inferred that Renato’s special bicycle is mainly designed for ________.
|
A．distant areas in the rainforest without electricity. |
|
B．the use of his own family to make life easier. |
|
C．the competition of ISEF to win money to support remote rainforests |
|
D．enough exercise by pedaling it |
“It hurts me more than you” and “This is for your own good” — these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying 'go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”
Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.
1.Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.
|
A．they watch TV too often |

|
A．when everything can be taught at school |
|
B．when every child can be educated |
|
C．when children are permitted to receive education |
|
D．when children are allowed to do what they wish to |
3.The main idea of the passage is that _______.
|
A．parents should leave their children alone |
|
B．kids should have more activities at school |
|
C．it's time to be more strict with our kids |
|
D．parents should always set a good example to their kids |

Tracy Wong is a well-known Chinese-American writer. But her writing 41 was something she picked up by herself. After her first 42 , teaching disabled children, she became a part-time writer for IBM. 43 , writing stories was simply a 44 interest. Tracy sent three of her stories to a publisher(出版商). 45 , they immediately suggested that she put them together to make a single one long 46 and paid Tracy a $50,000 in advance. “A pretty money,” said the publisher, “for 47 writer.”
48 Tracy’s characters (人物) are interesting, her stories sometimes 49 readers uneasy: those about the supernatural. “My mother believed I could 50 the afterlife world,” she told a close friend. “She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.”
“Can I? I don’t think I can,” Tracy said with a laugh. “But I do have 51 when things come to me 52 .” Once, she was wondering how to complete a 53 set in ancient (古代的) China. 54 the doorbell rang. It was a FedEx delivery man, with a copy of a book on Chinese 55 . It came without her having 56 it.
Though she has published 10 books, Tracy has remained 57 by her fame. She lives in the same 58 she lived 27 years ago — although in a more comfortable home. There’s more room for 59 in her life----and it wasn’t just 60 .
