              It’s been just over a year since 9-year-old Zion Harvey received a double-hand transplant(移植), and now, what he really wants to do is playing football. “I feel happy about my new hands, and I don’t feel different. I like that now I can throw a football further than when I didn’t have hands,” he said.

              The nation’s youngest hand-transplant patient has been working hard to learn how to use his new hands. He lost his hands and his feet 7 years ago after suffering from a serious infection. In August, the boy showed off his new abilities by throwing out the first ball at a baseball game. Dr. Scott Levin, team leader of Zion’s operation, said Zion was faced with the operation much braver than many adults. “I’ve never seen Zion cry,” Levin said. “He’s just an amazing boy. He has such courage and determination and gives us all inspiration.”

              Zion said his courage came from the two most amazing people: his mom and his grandma. His mother, Pattie Ray, said, “It’s been a long journey but now I feel like I am living in my dream. It’s his dream, and it’s mine, too. I’m just living through him, and I’m just here to support him in any way and help him do whatever he wants to do.”

              However,Zion told reporters his mom wouldn’t let him try out for football. His mom said it’s too dangerous. She also pointed out that he might be playing against little kids, not professionals, and she told him they would discuss it later. Zion tried to counter her argument. “My next goal: convince Mom to let me play football,” he said.

              (1) What is Zion’s attitude towards his transplanted hands?

              A. He likes them a lot
              B. He tries to ignore them

              C. He accepts them unwillingly
              D. He has mixed feelings about them.

              (2) What did Dr. Scott Levin think of Zion?

              A. He was unusually quiet.
              B. He was well worth praising.

              C. He was cleverer than expected.
              D. He was a talented football player.

              (3) Which of the following words can best describe Pattie Ray?

              A. Sensitive and strict.
              B. Devoted and supportive

              C. Optimistic and active
              D. Open-minded and outgoing.

              (4) What does the underlined word “counter” in the last paragraph mean?

              When I was young,I had an old neighbor named Dr.Gibbs.He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known.He never shouted at us for playing in his yard.I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.
              When Dr.Gibbs was happy,he was planting trees.And his life's goal was to make it a forest.
              Dr.Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting.He talked about trees that weren't watered would grow deep roots in search of water.So he never watered his trees.He planted an oak (橡树) and,instead of watering it every morning,he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper.I asked him why he did that,and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
              Dr.Gibbs died a couple of years ago.Every now and again,I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago.They're very strong now.
              I planted a couple of trees a few years later.I watered them regularly and took good care of them.Whenever a cold wind blows,they shake their leaves and branches.
              The funny thing about those trees of Dr.Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.

              During my elementary school years,I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom.
              Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food.Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked.I really admired Tiffany.My mom didn't give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself.I was annoyed with her.
              Whenever I didn't get what I wanted,I would complain to my mom,Tiffany's mom would give her that!I wish she were my mom.Every time,my mom would calmly say"Poor Tiffany".I couldn't understand her."She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!"I thought."She should be feeling sorry for me."
              One day,I couldn't help saying to Mom,"Poor Tiffany?Lucky Tiffany!She gets everything she wants!Why do you feel sorry for her?"I burst into tears.
              My mom sat down next to me and said softly."Yes,I do feel sorry for her.I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught."
              I looked up at her."What are you talking about?"
              Mom said with care,"One day she will really want something.Maybe she'll find out that she can't have it.Her mother won't always be around to give her money,and what's more,money can't buy everything."
              She continued,"I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want.You'll know how to look for bargains and save money,but she won't.You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't.When Tiffany is a grown woman,she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got.Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food."

              It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media.Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature,the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight.On Dec 29,she still didn't seek the spotlight(聚光灯)when shewas named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times.
              In Munro's eyes,ordinary lives always hide larger dramas.So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people.She often focuses on life in her hometown,a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with.Shewrites about the ordinary things in the village-fox forming,trees filled in the Ontariowilderness,poor country alcohol and long last illnesses.Above all,she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune.She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary.These are ordinary people,ordinary stories,but she has the magic.Her precise language,depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting.
              Runaway,one of Munro's representative works,is a good example of her writing style.One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla,who lives in asmall Canadian town with her husband Clark.The story slowly forms a picture of Carla,trapped in a bad marriage,her unhappiness building into desperation until she decided to flee.The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love.It is about lost children and lots of chances that we can all find in life.There is pain beneath the surface,like a needle in the heart.

              It was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving,we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete.Her husband was with her,but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.

              Walking towards the scene,Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple.He said to me,“Mum,it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”

              At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善)group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds.Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower.“It will make her feel better,”he said.I was amazed that he’d come up with this sweet idea.So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up.“Just take it,”she replied.“I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”

              By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived,and were attending to the injured woman.As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment.He said he was just too scared to go up to her.

              Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him,“My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”

              At that,the old man started crying and said,“Thank you so much,you have a wonderful son.Happy Mother’s Day to you.”

              The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from.Though badly hurt and shaken,the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.
