That night’s call was so different.“Hello?” My heart beat hard.“Mama?” The voice answered. My thoughts immediately went to my daughter.“Mama. I’ve been drinking. I nearly ran off the road a few miles back. All I could think of was if it would hurt you if a policeman came to your door and said I’d been killed. I want to come home. I know running away was wrong. I know you’ve been worried. I should have called you days ago but I was afraid.”My answer were clear now, “I think…”“No! Please let me finish!” She cried hopelessly. Before I could go on, she continued. “Are you still there? Please don’t hang up on me! I need you.”“I’m here, I wouldn’t hang up,” I said.“I know I should have told you. But, when we talk, you just keep telling me what I should do. You don’t listen to me. You never let me tell you how I feel. Because you’re my mother, you think you have all the answers. But sometimes I don’t need answers. I just want someone to listen.”“I’m listening.” I answered quietly.“I called a taxi. I’m coming home, Mama.” There was a click, and the phone went silent.Tears forming in my eyes, I walked into my 16-year-old daughter’s room. I wiped the tears.“We have to learn to listen.” I said to my husband.He studied me for a second, and then asked, “Do you think she’ll ever know she got the wrong number?”I looked at our sleeping daughter, and then back at him. “Maybe it wasn’t such a wrong number.”1.

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.” The big question is why so many people drive cars without wearing safety belts.There have been many misunderstandings about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars about forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.Number one: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.Truth: When two cars travelling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver will hit himself on the front window of the car with a hard force, it feels like diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.Number two: Safety belts “trap”(困住) people in cars. So if the cars are burning or sinking in water, it’s difficult for people to move.Truth: Sorry, but studies show that of people are not wearing safety belts, they are easy to be knocked unconscious(昏迷). So they will have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to have a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them. Number three: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.Truth: Sorry again, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. Students show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater when people are “thrown clear”.1. From the first paragraph the writer wants to ____.A. discuss the US populationB. express a daughter’s loveC. show a problem of drivingD. introduce main characters2. The picture which means “safety belt” is ____.A. B. C. D.3. It proves that ____ when two cars hit at 30 mph.A. cars won’t be pulled to a workshopB. people will not be knocked seriouslyC. it’s like diving into the water from 10 meters highD. it may cause a serious accident without protection4. We can learn from the passage that ____ when someone is “thrown clear”.A. his life will be savedB. nothing will be left in the carC. it turns out a better endingD. it increases the chance of dying5. The passage mainly tells us that people should ____.A. free themselves when in dangerB. wear the safety belts while drivingC. drive a car at the right speedD. have a clear head in an accident【参考答案】CADDBCForty years ago few people were brave enough to ask, “What will people do with a computer in their home?” That’s because computers then were usually huge machines and mostly used by governments and businesses. But on March 5th in 1975, 32 men gathered to find answers to this question. It was the first meeting of the Homebrew Computer Club.Everyone in the club shared the same hobby---fitting together computer parts. The members of Homebrew differed in their levels for skill and experience. Some worked for computer companies. Some had just graduated from high school, and some just loved playing with electronics. They were all excited about the possibilities of the personal computer. ____ After six months the group grew to 100 members.Meetings were held in a spirit of fun and discovery. The people in the group didn’t care about making money. They just wanted to share their ideas---and computer parts---freely. They hoped that their dream of making low-cost home computers would come true for common people.Without being prevented by the group’s fun---loving nature, many members went on to achieve great things. One of the youngest, Bob Lash, went on to invent several electronic medical machines. Another member, John Draper, developed one of the first word-processing programs. Somewhere in the Homebrew crowd sat perhaps its most famous member, Steve Wozniak. The young engineer seldom spoke during meetings. But when he first shared his idea for the Apple I computer, everyone paid attention. This computer helped point the way toward the future of low-cost, personal computers. And, of course, it resulted in Wozniak forming a partnership with the talented Steve Jobs.Although the Homebrew Computer Club stopped meeting in 1986, its influence lives on. Thanks to the Homebrew Computer Club, a great number of people today enjoy the convenience if personal computers.1. Which is the best sentence for the blank in the second paragraph?A.

Steve Jobs is the most famous member in the Homebrew.4. How many years did the Homebrew Computer Club last?A. Nine.B. Eleven.C. Thirteen.D. Forty-one.5. Which of the following statement is true?A.

She greeted a customer with a question which would be no problem---in Chinese, “What’s your problem?” But this question is impolite in English, and the customer became very angry. In this situation, the young woman should say, “May I help you?” or “How can I help you?” Then she would not be facing an unhappy traveler.2. ____Maybe you would like something. Instead of saying “Giving me a hamburger,” say, “Could I have a hamburger, please?” or “I’d like a hamburger.” English speakers often use the expressions “please” and “thank you”. When requesting something, use “Can I” or “Could I”. In formal situations, “May I” is the best.3. ____When someone asks your opinion, you don’t want to make them feel upset by saying something they think is unkind. Maybe someone asks, “What do you think of my idea.” Then people will accept your opinion more easily.4. ____When you can’t accept an invitation, don’t say, “I can’t. I’m busy.” Refuse in a more indirect way, “I’m afraid I can’t…” or “I’d love to, but…” or “That sounds great, but…” These phrases often the massage and make it easier to accept.5. ____Avoid saying others have done wrong. Don’t say, “You don’t understand me.” Say, “Maybe I need to make clear what I mean.” Give special attention to “I” or “We” rather than “you”. Take time to learn polite phrasing. Then you’ll make your communication with people more pleasant.【参考答案】BDAFC完形填空When our first son Brendan was born in Sydney in 1966, his grandfather gave him a golden elm tree as a gift.
