话题阅读（二）literature and art(A)A debate is spreading in Britain, from the far southern England to the northeast Scotland. The hunt is on to find a motto that sums up the nation in five words.However, there is a small problem. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are not, in fact, one nation. Britain is a union, and finding a national motto that combines that union is an almost impossible task.What bright person dreamed up this hunt for a motto? British Prime Minister Gordon Brown started the debate: he suggested is as part of a public discussion to determine "the ideals and principles that combine us together as a nation".Newspapers couldn't wait to get the game started. So they asked website readers to submit their own opinions.Some of the best included "No motto please, we're British" and "Mathematically, we could still qualify", a reference to the England football team's recent surprising performances in the European championship qualifiers.The first of these won a Times Online poll. You may wonder what it really means. The suggestion is that British people don't like to make a fuss. They would rather not go to the trouble of having a motto.However, it also suggests that Britain is a place with an established historical and cultural heritage: "We don't need a motto to sum us up and we know who we are, and we have done quite well without one for over 2,000 years, thanks."The second shows British people' s ability to make fun of themselves. The England team's failure to qualify angered a lot of people, but that doesn't mean they can't make a joke about it.The press treated the motto ideas so unkindly that it was abandoned. Yet the debate it set off. While mainly lighthearted, also has a serious side. Britain is worried it is losing its cultural identity.A large number of people arrived in Britain after World War II • The immigrants have a different sense of identity.The question is: how can we redefine Britain to include these people, and make them feel included? This will have to involve serious changing the way communities work and the government operates. People will really have to feel like they can make a difference. Muttering a motto every now and again is not going to make that happen.W ord Bankmotto n. 格言make a fuss 烦恼poll n. 投票mutter v. 念叨A. how the UK hunts for a national mottoB. how the British people react to finding the national mottoC. how media promote the finding of the national mottoD. how a debate about finding a national motto failed10. By saying "No motto please, we're British", the website readers mean that .A. there should be some ideals and principles to tie them togetherB. they would rather not go to the trouble of having a mottoC. the England football team didn't give a surprising performance without the mottoD. the British motto is losing its cultural identity11. We can infer that the people who said "Mathematically, we could still qualify" are .A. seriousB. bitterC. pleasedD. humorous12. The writer seems to think that .A. the motto will help the immigrants to develop their sense of belongingB. the way communities work will make a difference to the mottoC. muttering a motto can't guarantee that people feel includedD. a motto can sum the UK up and help people know who they areBBDC(B)Palmistry, or the art of reading the lines on a person's hand, is thousands of years old. It probably began in ancient India.Most people expect a palmist to tell them about their future. They ask questions like:Shall I be rich and successful? Shall I be famous? Shall I have a long and happy life? They do not ask: Am I a nice person? Am I brave or shy? Am I clever? Am I careful and reliable at work?But this is really what palmistry is about.Of course, there are people who do not believe in palmistry. They call it pseudoscience. But there are other people who believe that palmistry can tell us a lot about a person's talents and personality. Using the lines and other marks on the hand, a palmist is often able to foretell something of a person's future, but only in very general terms. The first thing a professional palmist does is to study the whole hand, its size, shape and texture (Is it smooth or rough?) Next he looks at the fingers, their length and shape and their condition of the fingernails. Finally he will study the lines of the hand. It is these lines that most people want to look at and try to "read".'Clear, strong linesHand lines which are clear and strong indicate a person who is calm, good-tempered and generally contented with life. This sort of person will not get angry quickly and will be cautious about getting involved in anything out of the ordinary. At work, such a person will be careful and reliable.Small lineA lot of small lines on the hand indicate a person who is sensitive and excitable. These people are nervous, get angry quickly and get excited easily. They are often very talented, but sometimes find it difficult to settle in one job. They frequently have a number of different hobbies.The heart lineIf your heart line is strong, you are a warm and affectionate person. If it is weak, then you are probably rather cool. If you have a lot of small lines coming off the heart line, you will have plenty of romance in your life.The head lineIf your head line is strong and clear, you are intelligent and imaginative. You will probably get a good job. However, this does not necessarily mean you will be rich and successful, as other factors are involved, for example, the number of small lines and the line of fate.The life lineIf you have a long life line, you will live a long time. A shorter life line indicates a shorter life.The line of fateStudy this carefully. If it is strong and reaches as far as the middle finger, you will be successful.Word Bankpalmistry n. 手相术pseudoscience n. 迷信13.

Clearly, the answer is yes. We have a powerful ability to help each other grow. We can learn much from each other. And as two great nations, we have a special responsibility to the future of the world. The steps we take over the next week can lead to far greater strides for our people in the years ahead.4.Here in this city of your magnificent history, we must always remember that we, too, will be ancestors. Someday our children and their children will ask if we did all we could to build just societies and a more peaceful world. Let our monument be their judgment that we did that. Let our progress include all people, with all their differences, moving toward a common destiny.5.Let us give new meaning to the words written in the ancient Book of Rites, what you call the Li Shi: When the great way is followed, all under heaven will be equal. Word BankWord Bankbilateral a. 双边的strive v. 努力CBADF(D)I've been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls "free writing". In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15—20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you've persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.W ord Bankfleeting adj. 稍纵即逝的criticize v. 批评1.

What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?A.To organize one's thoughts logically.B.To choose an appropriate topic.C.To get one's ideas down.D.To collect raw materials.A.it overstresses the role of the creative mindB.it takes too much time to edit afterwardsC.it may bring about too much criticismD.it does not help them to think clearlyDBCB(E)I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived. We had not suffered much from the war there, though like most children of my age, I was used to seeing bombed houses in the streets and the enormous army lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases "before the war" and "when the war's over". "Before the war," apparently, things had been better, though I was too young to understand why,except there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had only heard of. When the war was over, we would go back to London, but this meant very little to me. I did not remember what London was like.What I remember now about VE Day was the afternoon and the evening. It was a fine May day. I remember coming home about five o'clock. My father and mother came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to theend of the street. The bonfire was very high, and some people had collected some old clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived, theyset light to it. The flames rose and soon covered the "guy". Everyone was cheering and shouting,and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep thefire going. I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowing what to say. Hesaid nothing either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the endWord Bankbonfire n. 篝火apparently adv. 显而易见的1. Where did the narrator live before the Second World War?A. In a small town.B. In London.C. In Europe.D. In the countryside.2. The unmistakable figure with the moustache most probably represents__________________ .A.someone who died in the warB.someone who had wonC.an imaginary figureD.the most hated person in thewar—Hitler3. The narrator's father ______________.A.had fought in the Second World WarB.may have suffered much during the previous warC.helped build a bonfire on VE DayD.added something to the fire to keep it going too4. By saying " Let's hope that this time it really will be the last one", the father meant thatA.he hoped there would be no more wars in the worldB.he wished the Second World War had not happenedC.he hoped people would not build any more bonfiresD.he wished people would learn many lessons from the war BDBA。

He answered the call as soon as possible, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block.He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor.On seeing him, the dad yelled, “Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?”The doctor smiled and said, “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the h ospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”“Calm down? What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down?

Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go and pray for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”“Giving advi ce when we’re not concerned is so easy.” murmured the father.The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happily, “Thank goodness! Y our son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply, he carried on his way running. “If you have any questions, ask the nurse!”“Why is he so arrogant?

They are the first migrant workers (农民工) to have been elected deputies to the National People’s Congress. And they will be the focus of almost 3,000 deputies.31 year-old Zhu works in a clothing company. She started out sewing garments and is now deputy chief of the workers’ union.Migrant w orker deputy Zhu Xueqin said, “I am the representative of 4 million migrant workers in Shanghai. I feel a lot of pressure to do well and I will certainly do my best.”Zhu was elected to the post a month ago. She spent all her free time collecting requests and suggestions from fellow migrant workers.Zhu Xueqin said, “We’ve held at least ten meetings to discuss the problems of restaurant staff and construction and factory workers.”Since her election to be an NPC deputy, Zhu has received numerous requests from other migrant workers, who want her to help solve their problems. She is aiming for a paid holiday system so migrant workers can decide for themselves when they go back home to see their families. And she is also calling for maternity insurance（产期保险）for the migrants.China’s workers from rural areas are estimated to a number around 200 million. And these migrants have become a main part of the country’s work force.In March last year, the NPC annual session approved a draft resolution (草案) on the elections. The draft stated that provinces and municipalities with a large population of rural migrant workers should have a quota（定额）for NPC deputies.40. Who or what does Zhu Xueqin represent?A. Chongqing clothing company.B. Migrant workers in Jiangsu.C. Guangdong workers’ union.D. Migrant workers in Shanghai.41. Why will the three migrant worker deputies be the focus?A. Because they want to help migrant workers to solve their problems.B. Because they are migrant workers from the countryside.C.Because they are the first migrant worker deputies to the NPC.D. Because they are deputies from three very important places.42.The fact that China has wider and better democracy (民主) can be seen from the followingEXCEPT that _______.A. three migrant worker deputies have been elected to the National People’s CongressB. a draft approved by the NPC states that provinces and municipalities with a largepopulation of rural migrant workers should have a quota for NPC deputiesC. deputies are calling for maternity insurance and a paid holiday system for the migrantsD. China’s workers from rural areas are estimated to a number around 200 millionCThe national assistance system for poor college students is getting more effective as proved by fewer phone calls to the hotline of the National Center for Student Assistance Administration.“Poor college students and their parents are getting more satisfied with the national assist ance system,” said Ma Wenhua, deputy director of the administration, on Saturday. Over the past three years, the hotline received 8,488 calls. Statistics show 62 percent of the calls were made to ask about the funding policy, while 38 percent (3,200 calls) complained local colleges had failed to abide by the rules to support the students.Complaints were seen a year-on-year decrease from 2006 to 2008. Ma said some poor families might still overlook what they should do to get support for their child. To ensure education equality, the government has introduced a set of favorable policies to help poor students, such as scholarships, grants(助学金), student loans, tuition waivers(学费全免) and the work-study programs under which poor students are helped out in libraries, teachers' offices or service departments to earn money.Statistics show the government spent 29.3 billion yuan last year to aid college students, up 7.6 percent from the previous year. Around 40 million persons of college students received the national aid.The Ministry of Education of the government would ensure that no students drop out of colleges or universities because of poverty.Among the 20 million students in the country's public and private universities and colleges last year, about 20 percent came from poor backgrounds, official figures show.43. The national assistance system is set up ___.A. for parents and students to complainB. to help poor college studentsC. for poor students to get free educationD. to help students find jobs44. The underlined phrase “abide by” in the second paragraph probably means ____.A. followB. breakC. bearD. agree to45. From the passage, we know that ____.A. students will drop out of university because of povertyB. Chinese poor college students are more satisfied with national assistance systemC. more and more parents are complaining about their local collegesD. college students are suffering from great economic pressureDNOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. The y come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we wa nt to wipe those memories out,”said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.46. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of wiping out painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill47. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories48. We can infer from the passage that .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will certainly stop people’s emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's physical healthD. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America49. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph?A. some memories can ruin people’s lives.B. people want to get rid of bad memories.C. experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. the pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.50. You may probably read the passage in __________A. a guidebookB. a textbookC. a medical magazineD. a science fiction第四节：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Count your blessings, we’re told, but it’s just not in our nature. We’d ra ther count our problems. We’re so used to focusing on bad news that we tend to pay no attention to what’s going well. As soon as we solve one problem, we take the progress for granted and find a new cause for alarm. Every now and again it doesn’t hurt to t hink how good we have it. Start counting:1. Free timeAs much as we complain about being busy, the typical American has more free time than ever—more than five hours per day. I f you feel too busy, it’s probably only because you’re doing so many other things than work. Experts say there’ll be even more free time in the future.2. PeaceWars and terrorist attacks will always make headlines, but it’s remarkable how many of the wo rld’s 6. 7 billion people now live in peace. In recent decades, though the population has been growing, the number of wars around the world has declined.In some earlier generations, a quarter of the male population died violent deaths. Over the past cent ury, even counting the world wars, a person’s chance of dying from war was less than 2 percent.3. American dreamWhile some people are struggling to keep their homes, the vast majority of Americans still have plenty to be thankful for when they walk through the front door. In 1950 the typical new American house had one floor with 1,000 square feet, two bedrooms, and one bathroom—and even that bungalow was beyond many people’s means. Today, more than two thirds of Americans own their homes, and the typical new house has two floors, at least three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and more than 2, 200 square feet of space for the family.4. The reader’s revolutionIn 1970 barely half the people in the world were literate, and many of them could afford onlya few books. Today, more than 80 percent of the world’s people can read, and 22 percent have access to the greatest library in history. The Web provides classic books and reference works free of charge.5. More wildernessOnce you travel beyond the citie s, you’ll find plenty of open space and peaceful forests. Many of the woodlands cleared by settlers have returned now that the land is no longer needed for agriculture.6. The modern carsCars give off greenhouse gases and create maddening traffic jams, but consider what else they do. Compared with the models on the road in 1970, today’s cars burn less gasoline per mile and emit 98 percent fewer pollutants. That’s why, despite the doubling of the number of cars, there’s much less smog in the air. The basic car today offers more comforts and safety than the luxury cars of old.1-5 DBCBA 6-10 CCABD 11-15 ADABC16-20CBDCA 21-25 DCBAC 26-30 ADCAB 31-35 DCBCA36-39 BCCA 40-42 DCD 43-45 BAB 46-50 DCACC1. ignore2. alarm3. time4. growth5. reach6. available7. way8. efficient9. safer10. comfortable1-5 DBCBA 6-10 CCABD 11-15 ADABC16-20CBDCA 21-25 DCBAC 26-30 ADCAB 31-35 DCBCA36-39 BCCA 40-42 DCD 43-45 BAB 46-50 DCACC1. ignore2. alarm3. time4. growth5. reach6. available7. way8. efficient9. safer10. comfortable 1-5 DBCBA 6-10 CCABD 11-15 ADABC16-20CBDCA 21-25 DCBAC 26-30 ADCAB 31-35 DCBCA36-39 BCCA 40-42 DCD 43-45 BAB 46-50 DCACC1. ignore2. alarm3. time4. growth5. reach6. available7. way8. efficient9. safer10. comfortable1-5 DBCBA 6-10 CCABD 11-15 ADABC16-20CBDCA 21-25 DCBAC 26-30 ADCAB 31-35 DCBCA36-39 BCCA 40-42 DCD 43-45 BAB 46-50 DCACC1. ignore2. alarm3. time4. growth5. reach6. available7. way8. efficient9. safer10. comfortable1-5 DBCBA 6-10 CCABD 11-15 ADABC16-20CBDCA 21-25 DCBAC 26-30 ADCAB 31-35 DCBCA36-39 BCCA 40-42 DCD 43-45 BAB 46-50 DCACC1. ignore2. alarm3. time4. growth5. reach6. available7. way8. efficient9. safer10. comfortable1-5 DBCBA 6-10 CCABD 11-15 ADABC16-20CBDCA 21-25 DCBAC 26-30 ADCAB 31-35 DCBCA36-39 BCCA 40-42 DCD 43-45 BAB 46-50 DCACC1. ignore2. alarm3. time4. growth5. reach6. available7. way8. efficient9. safer10. comfortable 1-5 DBCBA 6-10 CCABD 11-15 ADABC16-20CBDCA 21-25 DCBAC 26-30 ADCAB 31-35 DCBCA36-39 BCCA 40-42 DCD 43-45 BAB 46-50 DCACC1. ignore2. alarm3. time4. growth5. reach6. available7. way8. efficient9. safer10. comfortable。

话题阅读（一）stories(A)Henry's job was to examine cars which crossed the frontier to make sure that they were not smuggling anything into the country. Every evening __1at the weekends, he would see a factory worker coming up the hill towards the frontier, 2a bicycle with a big load of straw on it. When the bicycle reached the frontier, Henry used to stop the man and make him take the straw off and 3 it. Then he would examine the straw very 4 to see whether he could find anything, after which he would look in all the man's pockets before he let him tie the straw again. The man would then put it on his bicycle and go off down the hill with it. Although Henry was always 5 to find gold or jewellery or other valuable things hidden in the straw, he never found anything even though he examined it very carefully. He was sure that the man was smuggling something, but he was not able to imagine what it could be. Then one evening, after he had looked through the straw and emptied the factory worker's pockets 6usual, he said to him, "Listen, I know that you are smuggling things across this frontier. Won't you tell me what it is that you're bringing into the country so 7 ? I'm an old man, and today's my last day on the 8 . Tomorrow I'm going to 9 . I promise that I shall not tell anyone if you tell me the truth." The man did not say anything for some time, then he smiled, turned to Henry and said quietly, "Bicycles."1-5. A D F G H 6-9. E C J B(B)Mrs. Jones was over eighty, but she still drove her car like a woman half her age. She loved driving very fast, and always took __1in the record that she had never, in her thirty-five years of driving, been 2 for her driving too fast. Then one day she 3 lost her record. A police car was following her and the policeman in it saw her 4 a red light without stopping. When Mrs. Jones was brought before the 5 , he looked at her and said that she was too old to drive a car and that the 6 why she had not stopped at the red light was 7 probably that her eyes became weak 8 old age so that she had simply not seen it. When the judge had finished what he was saying, Mrs. Jones opened her big handbag, from which she took outher sewing. Without saying a word, she chose a 9 with a very small eye and threaded it at her first attempt. When she had 10 done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and thread to the judge, saying, "Now it is your 11 .

D C A A D 11-15. D C B A B(C)Helen Thayer is to celebrate her 6th birthday in a special way. She is bound for a three-month, 1,500-mile solo hike across Antarctica.In the Antarctica, where temperatures can drop to 40 degrees below zero, she plans to walk at least 12 hours a day, with about five minutes of rest every hour. Anything longer will make her body temperature drop too much. Anything too tiring will make her sweat and freeze. She spent two years getting in shape for this venture, with a workout plan that included 10-mile runs, 20-mile hikes and hours of weight training each week. Thayer also put in a daily hour pulling a pack loaded with concrete, to train her for the pack—full of carefully weighed items—she'll carry across Antarctica.Every little thing counts. The handle of her toothbrush has been cut off to make it lighter. Her wedding ring is in her left jacket pocket keeping her link with husband Bill, because it could freeze on her finger and cut off circulation.For three months, only her journal will keep her company. No music, no books. "There's going to be plenty to keep me occupied and boredom will not be a factor," she said with a smile. "I make this plan mainly for the sake of my kids— through what I can gatherthrough my camera lens and my notes for them. I want them to learn how to set goals, plan for success and be the best they can.

It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message.The statement read: " Mrs Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision ever since her medical test this morning." I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems.This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting St. John's word for her medication. Now Mrs Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She's probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn't have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs Jones called. Her vision was fine. It turned out that she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had cloudedmine. Now I came for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose, treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.W ord Bankblurred vision 视觉模糊diagnose v. 诊断A.

He painted a sign advertising the pups and setabout nailing it to post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail in to the post, he felt a tug on his coat. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy."Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies.""Well," said the farmer, "these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. "I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?""Sure," said the farmer.And with that he let out a whistle, "Here, Dolly!" he called.Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy stepped towards the fence. His eyes danced with delight.As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else moving inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller. Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began running toward the others, doing its best to catch up."I want that one," the little boy said.The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands."The world is full of people who need someone who understands.Word Bankpub n. 幼小动物tug n. 猛拉nail v. 用钉子钉brace n. 钢柱9.
