My second thought?I can finally clean her house. My mother is a hoarder(囤货者). I have long searched for the perfect combination of begging and bring that would finally force her to throw out the rubbish.The first time I can remember being directly affected by my mother’s relationship to possessions was when I was 5years old and in kidergarten. I was enrolled in the morning term but one Monday, as I was getting ready for school, my mother asked me to stay for both the morning and afternoon because she wanted to go to thrift-store(廉价商店）shopping.”you can take the later school bus,” she said I didn’t like the idea a bit.”can you just be home in time?” I asked. But she refused. That morning I tried to get up the nerve to tell one of the teachers about my mother would be there.She wasn’t. It was a typical winter day in Minnesota--in other words,cold,windy and snowy. I waited outside. When my mother finally returned, her arms were loaded with shopping bags.”What are you doing here ?” she demanded.“You were supposed to give me a note,” I said, running inside as soon as she unlocked the door. As I felt better, I looked around at m y mother’s new gains---salt and sweaters,patterns for clothes she’d never sew---and couldn’t help but think she’d chosen those things over me.My mother has been cancer-free for almost six years now. She calls one day,breathless with excitement about h er new car,”The best part,” She says,”it’s big-big enough for when I go...”She stops herself “Shopping,” I say “It’s big enough for when you go shopping.” “It’s tr u e.” She laughs. At that moment I have a choice: I’m no longer that young girl trying desperately to fix her.She is who she is.24.Which of the following is true about “my mother”?A, she agreed to know about the rubbish.B, she has unusual relationship to possessions.C, she paid no attention to her child’s health and study.D, she finally changed her way of living, because of cancer.25.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underline words in paragraph 2?A, be back on one's feet.B, develop one's interest.C, build up one's courage.D, rise from a lower to a higher position.26.It can be inferred from the passage that.A , the writer was too shy when she was in kindergarten.B, the mother and the child had broken up for years.C, the writer was against her mother buying a new car.D, the writer’s mother has left a deep impression on her as a hoarder.27.What would be the best title for the passage?A, my mother the hoarder.B, a cancer survivor.C, my mother's plan.D, my kindergarten life.CFor many years, women could only be seen on the seat behind the men operating the two－wheeled motorcycle. Now more and more women are taking the front seat. More than twenty million people in the United States ride motorcycles.Since 1998 the number of female bikers has risen sharply. Lady Sport Riders began in 1999 in Washington. The women formed the organization to share their love of motorcycle riding. But later it wanted to be more than just an organization for women togather and ride motorcycles, so it started to organize events that help national health organizations and women's shelters. It also permits women to share a strong sisterhood, and gives financial awards to poor students. Like other motorcycle clubs, the members of Lady Sport Riders also help their community.Different from male riders, female riders ride for more than fun. This sport gives women a sense of freedom and control. Female riders have helped change motorcycle culture. More than five years ago manufacturers began making equipment especially for women. Some bikes now have smaller, softer seats and controls that are easier to reach. Modern clothes for riding now look good and still provide protection. In the past, women rode motorcycles that travelled at a moderate speed. Now theirs are as powerful as the ones men ride. Safety is very important when riding because the risk of injury is high. So the women wear protective clothing and equipment at all times, especially for the head.Lady Sport Riders believes women have earned their place in the sport of motorcycle riding. When speaking of male motorcyclists, the members of th e club say, “They Made the Game. We Came to Play！”28. In the beginning, Lady Sport Riders was organized to ________.A. allow women to take up motorcyclingB. offer help to national health organizationsC. share their great interest in the sport of motorcyclingD. supply financial help to poor students29. What do men motorcyclists mainly expect to get from motorcycling?A. Strength and power.B. A sense of freedom.C. Money and fame.D. Pleasure from this sport.30. Compared with the past, the present equipment makes riding more ________ for women.A. difficultB. pleasantC. riskyD. expensive31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To talk about the development of motorcycle riding.B. To talk about the characteristics of the sport of motorcycling.C. To introduce a female motorcycle club to readers.D. To talk about the role women have played in the sport of motorcycling.DI represent a group of business people devoted to improving public schools. “If I run my business the way you operate your schools. I wouldn't be in business very long.!” I said in front of a crowd of teachers who were becoming angrier by the minute.As soon as I finished, a woman’s hand shot up. She appeared, polite, pleasant. She began quickly. “We're told sir, that your manager a company that makes good ice cream.” “Best ice cream in A merica. “I replied. “Mr V ollmer,” She said, “when you're standing on your receiving, doc k and you see a poor quality shipment of, blueberries arrive, what do you do.?” In the silence of that room. I could hear that trap stnap. I was dead meat, but I wasn't going to lie, “I send them back.”She shouted: ”We can never sen d back our blueberries, we take them big, small, rich, poor, gifted, abuse, frightened, confident, homeless, rude and brilliant. We take them all! And that, Mr V ollmer, is why it's not a business, It's a school!”Suddenly all 290 teachers and secretaries jumped to their feet and yelled.“Yeah Blue berries! Blueberries!”And I began my long, transformation. Since then, I have visited hundreds of schools, I have learned that a school is not a business.
