1.（7.5分）A

Young people and older people don’t always agree. They sometimes have different

ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults

and teenagers live together in a friendly way.

Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members

of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep

busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on

the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses.

The adults teach them these skills.

There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours,

some of the teenagers learn photo taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing.

Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.

When people live together, rules are necessary. In this program the teenagers and

the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the

whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about

it?”

One of the teenagers has this to say about his experience, “You stop thinking only

about yourself, You learn to think about the group.”

2.（10分）B

I was born disabled．A difficult birth, feet first, my head stuck．By my first birthday,

I couldn’t stand or walk．

When I was three, the doctor told dad I had cerebral palsy（脑瘫）．A loss of oxygen（氧气） to my brain had destroyed brain signals to the right side of my body．

But no son of my dad’s was going to be disabled．Every morning before breakfast and every evening before bed, my dad placed me on the bedroom floor to exercise my right

leg．The muscles were shrunk（收缩）and twisted（缠绕）together．Back and forth up

and down, my dad pushed and pulled the muscles into shape．

But my dad’s exercise of passion didn’t stop there．For my 13th birthday, he threw

me a special party. When everybody was gone, he brought me to open a large box, it

was a set of boxing gloves．We put them on．My dad kept on beating me mercilessly（无情地）．Each time I tried to get up, leather kissed my nose, eyes and jaw. I begged him

to stop. He said he beat me to get me ready for the tough world.

That same year, I was the only kid in my neighborhood that wasn’t picked for

Little League. Two weeks later, Dad started the Shedd Park Minor League, and every kid

played. Dad coached us and made me a pitcher（棒球投手）.

The power of my dad’s love guaranteed I walked and more. In high school, I became

a football star.

In 1997, a brain surgeon in San Jose told me I didn’t have cerebral palsy after all.

He explained how and where the doctor’ s forceps（镊子）at birth had damaged my

brain. My dad never knew the whole truth since he passed away years ago. But all that counts is the bottom line. After all his madness, on this Father’s Day, like every Father’s

Day, I’m no longer disabled.
