              My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States． The rest of his family remained in Europe． When World War I broke out， he seemed to have become another man， downhearted． Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare， but out of fear： if his only son， my uncle， had to go to war， it would be cousin fighting against cousin．
              One day in 1918， my Uncle Milton received his draft notice． My grandparents were very upset． But my mother， at the age of 10， felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off of war． Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends， my uncle bought them all service pins， which meant that they had a loved one in the service． All the little girls were delighted．
              The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers， without any training but all in uniforms， boarded the train． "The band played and the crowd cheered． Although no one noticed， I'm sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son． The train slowly pulled out， but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused． Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station． There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out． Someone shouted， "The war is over!"For a moment， nobody moved， but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers． The men lined up in two lines， walked down the steps， and with the band playing， marched down the street， as returning heroes， to be welcomed home． My mother said it was a great day， but she was just a little disappointed that it didn't last a tiny bit longer．

              "A serious attack on the fantasy story for children comes from those who do not wish children to be frightened，" writes C．S． Lewis in an essay named Three Ways of Writing for Children． Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things． Firstly， they mean that we mustn't do anything likely to give children fears， and secondly， they want to keep out of their minds that they are born into a world of death， violence， wounds， good and evil （邪恶）． C．S． Lewis says he agrees with the first reason， but not the second．
              He goes on to remark， "Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel enemies，let them at least hear of brave fighters and heroic courage． By limiting your child to perfect and nice stories of child life in which nothing alarming ever happens，they would fail to face fears and hardships．" "It would be nice，" he continues， "if no little boy in bed ever hears a frightening sound． But if he is to be frightened， I think St． George， or any bright hero in armor， is a better comfort than the idea of the police．"
              Bruno Bettelheim， a well-known child psychologist， also points out that fantasy stories provide children with a valuable education about good and evil． He
              believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions． Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find．
              A good fantasy suggests rather than teaches possible answers to life． It's believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books to reality． It's what good literature does - it makes life larger．

              (1) According to the first paragraph， C．S． Lewis thinks that ______ ．
              A. children shouldn't read any fantasy story because it is bad
              B. adults shouldn't do things that may frighten their children
              C. death and badness should be kept out of children's minds
              D. writing a fantasy story is the best way of writing for children
              (2) What probably is St． George according to the text？ ______
              A. He is a policeman in real life．
              B. He is a murderer caught by the police．
              C. He is a brave man in a fantasy novel．
              D. He is a frightening person in a story．
              (3) Why should children read fantasy literature according to Bruno Bettelheim？ ______
              A. Because it encourages children to have a lot of fantasies．
              B. Because it helps children overcome fears and find solutions．
              C. Because it teaches children to write their own fantasy stories．
              D. Because it gives children a happy memory when they grow up．
              (4) It can be inferred from the text that ______ ．
              A. good literature can give readers more valuable stories
              B. fantasies can improve one's ability to solve problems
              C. personal fantasies can help children get away from danger
              D. most children can understand what fantasy literature is
              (5) Which of the following features of fantasy literature does the author want to stress？ ______
              A. It's frightening but exciting．
              B. It's interesting and attractive．
              C. It's useless but enjoyable．
              D. It's necessary and helpful．

              The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and for the environment．Those findings come from a new report in the journal Nature．
              David Tilman is a professor at the University of Minnesota．In the study，he examined information from 100nations to show what people ate and how diet affected health．Mr．Tilman noted a movement beginning in the 1960s．He found that as nations industrialized（工业化），population increased and earnings rose．More people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet．The Wetern diet is high in sugar，fat，oil and meat．By eating these foods，people began to get fatter and sicker．
              "The food，let us say，in the 15 richest nations of the world，right now contains about 400or 500extra calories（热量） a day that are eaten beyond what people need，and that leads people to gain weight．"
              David Tillman says overweight people are at greater risk for diseases like diabetes，heart disease and some cancers．Diabetes is shooting to very high rates in the United States and across Europe．Heart disease is a major cause of death in the Western nations．Unfortunately when people become industrialized，if they adopt this Western diet，they are going to have these same health problems．
              A diet bad for human beings，it seems，is also bad for the environment．As the world's population grows，experts say more forests and areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for raising cattle．These areas will be needed to meet the increasing demand for food．
              Mr．Tilman calls the link between diet，the environment and human health，"a dilemma"，a situation where it is very difficult to decide what to do．He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind．

              (1) Why did people get fatter in the 1960s？ ______
              A. They ate foods high in calories．
              B. They adopted a western lifestyle．
              C. They set aside little time for exercise．
              D. They had a better life and became lazier．
              (2) According to the text，overweight people may suffer the following diseases EXCEPT ______ ．
              A. diabetes
              		B. skin disease
              		C. cancers
              		D. heart disease
              (3) What can we infer from Paragraph 5？ ______
              A. There will be fewer and fewer forests．
              B. People won't care about the environment．
              C. The world's population will grow faster than ever．
              D. Raising cattle will be the most moneymaking business．

              A. To tell people effective ways to keep healthy．
              B. To call on people to give up the Western diet．
              C. To show the problems industrialized nations are facing．

              In my mind，there is a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart．
              Practice after practice，he eagerly gave everything he had．Being half the size of the other boys，he got absolutely nowhere．Despite his hard training at all the games，this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played．
              This teenager lived alone with his father，and the relationship between the two of them was very special．Even though the son was always on the bench，his father was always in the stands cheering．He never missed a game．This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school．But his father continued to encourage him．
              The young man loved football and was determined to try his best at every practice，and perhaps he'd get to play when he became a senior．All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a benchwarmer．Besides，his faithful father was always in the stands，always with words of encouragement for him．When the young man went to college，he decided to try out for the football team as a"walk-on"．Everyone firmly believed that he could never make the cut，but he did．
              The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father．His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games．This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college，but actually he never got the real chance to play in a game．
              It was at the end of his senior football season that the coach met him with a telegram．The young man read the telegram and he became totally silent．Swallowing hard，he mumbled to the coach，"My father died this morning．Is it all right if I miss practice today？"The coach put his arm gently around his should and said，"Take the rest of the week off，son．And don't even plan to come back to the game on Saturday．"
              Saturday arrived，and the game was not going well．In the third quarter，when the team was ten points behind，a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear．As he ran onto the sidelines （边线），the coach and his players were surprised to see their faithful teammate back so soon．"Coach，please let me play．I've just got to play today，"said the young man．
              The coach pretended not to hear him．There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close play-off game．But the young man insisted，and finally feeling sorry for the kid，the coach gave in．"All right，"he said．"You can go in．''Before long，the coach，the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes．This little unknown，who had never played before，was doing everything right．The opposing team could not stop him．He ran，passed，blocked，and tackled like a star．His team began to succeed．The score was soon tied．In the closing seconds of the game，this kid got a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown．
              Finally，after the stands had emptied，the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone．The coach came to him and said，"Kid，you were unbelievably fantastic!Tell me what got into you？How did you do it？"
              He looked at the coach，tears in his eyes，and said"Well，you knew my had died，but did you know that my dad was blind？"The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile，"Dad came to all my games，but today was the first time he could see me play，and I wanted to show him I could make it!"

              (1) What's the writer's attitude toward the young boy in this passage？ ______
              A. Appreciative． B. Critical． C. Grateful． D. Negative．
              (2) From the passage，we can infer that ______ ．

              B. the young man's father had a great positive influence on him

              D. the young man's road to success in football was always smooth

              I first met Paul Newman in 1968，when George Roy Hill，the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid，introduced us in New York City．When the studio didn't want me for the film-it wanted somebody as well known as Paul-he stood up for me．I don't know how many people would have done that； they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers．
              The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference，we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV．We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play．Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors：humorous，aggressive，and making fun of each other-but always with an underlying affection．Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen．
              We shared the brief that if you're fortunate enough to have success，you should put something back-he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill，and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival．Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly，but sharing that brought us together．We supported each other financially and by showing up at events．
              I last saw him a few months ago．He'd been in and out of the hospital．He and I both knew what the deal was，and we didn't talk about it．Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words．

              (1) Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first？ ______
              A. Paul Newman wanted it．
              B. The studio powers didn't like his agent．
              C. He wasn't famous enough．
              D. The director recommended someone else．
              (2) Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship？ ______
              A. They were of the same age．
              B. They worked in the same theater．
              C. They were both good actors．
              D. They have similar characteristics．
              (3) What does the underlined word"that"in paragraph 3refer to？ ______

              C. Their success．
              		D. Their support for each other．

              Once an old man rose early to read each morning．His grandson wanted to be just like his grandfather，so tried to emulate him every way he could．
              One day the grandson asked，"Grandpa，I try to read just like you do，but I don't understand most of it，and I forget whatever I do understand immediately I close the book．So what good is it for me to read？"
              The grandfather，who was putting coal on the fire，said，"Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water．"
              The boy did as told to，but the water leaked out before he could get the basket home．
              The grandfather laughed，saying，"You'll have to move a little faster．"This time he ran faster，but again the basket emptied．Out of breath，he decided it was impossible to carry water in a basket，and he went to get a bucket（桶）．But the grandfather said，"I want a basket of water instead of a bucket of water．You're just not trying hard enough．"
              The boy knew what he was trying to accomplish was impossible．However，he decided to show his grandfather a third time．
              The boy dipped the basket into the river and ran as hard as he could．With the empty basket，he gasped（喘气说），"See Grandpa？It's useless!"
              "So you think it useless？"the old man asked．"Then look at the basket．"To his surprise，the boy found it washed clean of the dirty coal stains and now clean inside and out．
              "My child，that's what happens when you read the book．You might not understand or remember everything，but the words will change you inside and out．That is the work of reading in our lives．"

              (1) Why did the man tell the boy to fetch a basket of water？ ______
              A. The work was too much for himself．
              B. The work could test how fast the boy ran．
              C. He intended to train the boy to run faster．
              D. He meant to inspire the boy through an example．
              (2) What does the underline word"emulate"in Paragraph 1most probably mean？ ______
              A. Admire． B. Encourage． C. Challenge． D. Copy．
