AEach morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could.One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water, I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.”The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!”“So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean.“Grandson, that’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you’ll be changed, inside and out.”21.

Why did Grandpa ask his grandson to fetch a basket of water?A. To train him to run faster.B. To clean the dirty basket in the river.C. To punish him for not reading carefully.D.

Teaching Your Kids Financial Principles with TykoonCHow far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know? Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease? These days that’s more than an academic question, as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.There are now more than a thousand genetic（基因的）tests, for everything from baldness to breast cancer, and the list is growing. Question is, do you really want to know what might eventually kill you? For instance, Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at ahigher risk for Alzheimer（老年痴呆症）.“If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease, that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious, through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you. It could really mess you up,” said Dr. Robert Green, a Harvard geneticist.“Every ache and pain,” Smith suggested, could be understood as “the beginning of the end.” That’s right. If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, then every time you can’t find your car in the parking lot, you think the disease has started.Dr. Green has been thinking about this issue for years. He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s. It was thought that people who got bad news would, for lack of a better medical term, freak out. But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference” between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives. In fact, most people think they can handle it. “People who ask for the information usually ca n handle the information, good or bad,” said Green.28. The first paragraph is meant to__________.A. ask some questionsB. introduce the topicC. satisfy readers’ curiosityD. describe an academic fact29.Which of the following is true of James Watson？A. He is strongly in favor of the present genetic tests.B. He is more likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.C. He believes genetic mapping can help cure any disease.D. He doesn’t want to know his chance of getting a disease.30. T he underlined part “freak out” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to“_________”.A. break downB. drop outC. leave offD. turn away31. The study led by Dr. Green indicates that people__________.A. prefer to hear good newsB. tend to find out the truthC. can accept some bad newsD. have the right to be informedDBreathe, wave and smile. Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement.Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in purple cap and gown.Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(效忠宣誓).Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.”Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.32. What’s the arti cle mainly about?A. An American graduation ceremony.B. The opening ceremony of a sports meeting.C. A presentation of college diplomas.D. A US college’s farewell party.33. According to the text, which of the following statements about the author is TRUE?A. Hollywood superstars went to attend the ceremony.B. Every single senior became a superstar at the ceremony.C. When each graduate go t his or her diploma, there were cheers.D. All graduates would treasure the diploma for the rest of their lives.34. The right order of the following events is________.a. Diplomas were presented to graduates.b. Students gave farewell speeches.c. The US national anthem was played. d. The principal gave a short, warm speech.e. Seniors went into the stadium.A. b-c-a-d-eB. b-d-c-e-aC. e-d-b-a-cD. e-d-c-b-a35.
