This meant one thing to my parents---panic. And it grew as the letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to, nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University---the Ivy League in 1770 in historic Providence, Rhode Island.
There was no that I was drawn to Brown, but Billy (who had joined the army) was down south and I had offers for me there, too. I was torn between my love for him and my family .
One week the start of school, my mother had a talk with me. She said I was eighteen years old and I had a to make--- one that went beyond the choice of to attend university.
In August, I and drove north to Providence. It took several months to that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy’s. Brown changed my life, opening doors and giving me the I now use to think, to learn and to write. Life is always about it seems, and the older I get, the more I understand this. Still, there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.

举一反三
About one year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any noise form the children, but I often heard the parents shouting at the kids, not in a nice tone, but in a (n) one.We often in the hallway. I always greeted them, the only answer I ever got was a “hello” from the eight-year-old girl. I usually to see my doctor and one day when I returned they were just their apartment and the little girl was the outside door open for the others. I in the car doing things because I wasn’t eager to be snubbed (冷落) again. Finally I got out of my car and walked towards the door. The parents were telling her to to get into the car, but the little girl was still holding the door, me! I hurried although I was still in pain from my injury.
I forgot to tell her how I was for her kindness. I wrote a note saying how much her act of kindness had an old man’s heart.
The next day there was a (n) on my door and it was the little girl and her father. She was quite of her behavior and thanked me. Then I noticed her mother was there, too. Her parents me, too.
Now when we meet in the hall way we always greet each other, in a friendly .
Last night there was a heavy snow. I looked out at my car and how I was going to keep my doctor’s because I could only walk for a short time. This morning when I opened the front door, all the snow was removed.
Isn’t it that the small kind act of an 8-year-old girl can change so many things for the better? It is said that good tings come from small acts.

I opened my new patient"s chart and headed for her room. My son, Eric, had just brought home a disappointing report card, and my daughter, Shannon, and I had argued again about her getting a driver"s license. For the next eight hours I wanted to throw myself into helping people who I knew had much more to worry about than I did. Rebekah, mother of three lovely little girls, was only 32, admitted for chemotherapy after breast-cancer surgery, When I gave her an injection, Rebekah shut her eyes tightly and murmured a prayer until it was over. Then she smiled and squeezed my hand. “Before you go, could you get my Bible from the table?" I handed her the worn book. "Do you have a favorite Bible verse?" she asked. "Jesus wept. John 11: 35." "Such a sad one," she said. "Why?""It makes me feel closer to Jesus, knowing he also experienced human sorrow." Rebekah nodded thoughtfully and started flipping through her Bible as I shut the door quietly behind me.During the following months, her hospital stays became frequent and she worried about her children. One day when I entered her room, I found her talking into a tape recorder. She picked up a notebook and held it out to me. "I"m making a tape for my daughters, " she said. I read the list on her pad: starting school, confirmation, turning 16, first date, graduation. While I worried how to help her deal with death, she was planning for her children"s future. She usually waited until the early hours of the morning to record the tapes so she could be free from interruptions. She filled them with family stories and advice,trying to cram a lifetime of love into a few precious hours. Finally, every item in her notes had been checked off and she entrusted the tapes to her husband.
I often wondered what I would say in her place. My kids joked that I was like an FBI agent, with my constant questions about where they’d been and who they’d been with. Where, I thought, are my words of encouragement and love?
It was three o"clock one afternoon when I got an urgent call from the hospital. Rebekah wanted me to come immediately with a blank tape. She was breathing hard when I entered her room. I slipped the tape into the recorder and held the microphone to her lips. "Ruthie, Hannah, Molly, this is the most important tape." She held my hand and closed her eyes. "Someday your daddy will bring home a new mommy. Please make her feel special. Show her how to take care of you. Ruthie, honey, help her get your Brownie uniform ready each Tuesday. Hannah, tell her you don"t want meat sauce on your spaghetti. Molly, don"t get mad if there"s no apple juice. Drink something else. It"s okay to be sad, sweeties. Jesus cried too. He knows about sadness and will help you to be happy again. Remember, I"ll always love you. I shut off the recorder and Rebekah sighed deeply. "Thank you, Nan, "You"ll give this one to them, won"t you?" she murmured as she slid into sleep.
A time would come when the tape would be played for Rebekah"s children, but right then, after I smoothed Rebekah"s blanket, I got in my car and hurried home. I thought of how my Shannon also liked her sauce on the side and suddenly that quirk, which had annoyed me so many times, seemed to make her so much more precious. That night the kids didn"t go out; they sat with me long after the spaghetti sauce had dried onto the dishes. And we talked, without interrogations, without complaints,late into the night.

The largest campaign of killing rats in history is set to poison millions of rats on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. Scientists say the campaign planned for 2013 and 2014 will restore beautiful South Georgia to the position it once held as the world’s most important nesting sites for seabirds.It was sailors in the late 18th century who unintentionally introduced rats to what had been a fresh environment. “If we can destroy the rats, at least 100 million birds will return to their home on South Georgia,” says Tony Martin, a biology professor at the University of Dundee who was invited to lead the project.
South Georgia is by far the largest island to get rid of animals that destroy native wildlife after being introduced deliberately or accidentally by people. Though rats and mice have done the most damage, cats, foxes, goats, deer, rabbits and other species have been targeted in the campaigns around the world.
South Georgia is seven times the size of New Zealand’s Campbell Island, currently the largest area ever killing rats. The successful war against Campbell Island rats was carried our in 2001 with 132 tons of poison dropped from five helicopters.
“New Zealand pioneered the techniques for ridding islands of rats and in fact our operation on South Georgia is based on New Zealand’s technology.” Says Martin. “Some New Zealanders will be helping our campaign, including our chief pilot, Peter Garden, who was also chief pilot for the projects at Campbell Island and Rat Island, in the Aleutian chain of the north Pacific.”
The second and third stages in 2013 and 2014 will involve dropping as much as 300 tons of poison from the air onto every part of the island where rats might live. It is a huge operation, carried out during the stormy southern autumn when the rats are hungry and the risks of poisoning native wildlife are less than in the spring and summer months. “Ideally we’d do in winter but the weather makes that too risky,” Martin says.
The ecological payback will be priceless. But Martin says, “The full benefits will take decades to arrive, because some of these birds are slow to hatch.”
小题1:According to the passage, how did the rats appear on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia ?
A.They were attracted there by wildlife. |
B.They escaped there from Campbell Island. |
C.They were introduced there by sailors accidently. |
D.They were brought in by people deliberately. |
A.He is in charge of the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island. |
B.He will be the only pilot for the project on the sub-Antarctic island. |
C.He will benefit a lot from the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island. |
D.He made great contributions to the project at Campbell Island and Rat Island. |
A.the war against Campbell Island rats failed in all seasons except autumn. |
B.only then do the New Zealanders to help the operation have the spare time. |
C.rats then need more food and the operation does less harm to native wildlife. |
D.the poison kills rats more effectively than it does in any other season. |
A.The campaign of killing rats will benefit the native wildlife in a short time. |
B.Rats aren’t the only species to be blamed for the disappearance of wildlife. |
C.The first stage of killing rats on the sub-Antarctic island didn’t make great achievements. |
D.The campaign in South Georgia will fully follow in the footsteps of that on Campbell Island. |
With growing I noticed that their sizes of each family member closely ours. This would be a good opportunity to my children, so I explained their difficult to my seven-year-old twins and three-year-old Meghan.
“We have so much, but these poor people now have nothing,” I said, “we’ll what we have with them.”
I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously the boys and I filled one box with canned food.
While I our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched as the boys piled up useless toys in the box.
“I’ll help you find something for the little girl,” I said to her.
The boys placed the toys they had to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved doll tightly to her chest. She in front of the box, pressed her little face into Lucy’s face, gave her a kiss, then, laid her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh, honey,” I said. “You to give away Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded, eyes shining with tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. she’ll make that little girl happy, too.”
I stared at Meghan for a long moment, how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me.
It’s easy to give what we don’t want any more, but to let go of things we cherish, isn’ t it? , the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.
