But major league baseball didn’t seem much of a possibility for a girl, even an athletic one like Sally, so her father and mother talked her into taking tennis lessons when she was twelve. At first she hated to trade in her baseball bat for a tennis racket, but it wasn’t long before she started to win tournaments in her new sport. “ Tennis became much more fun when I started winning,” Sally remembers. Soon a row of trophies （奖牌）replaced her box of baseball cards, and tennis star Billie Jean King replaced Dodger shortstop Maury Wills as her sports idol.
Sally first became interested in the space program in 1962 when astronaut John Glenn orbited the earth in his Mercury space capsule. Sally was ten years old at the time, but she remembers the launch and the splashdown (掉落) as if they happened yesterday. The girl who used to memorize batting averages became a space fan. She quickly learned the name of every NASA astronaut(there were only eight of them in 1962), the date of every launch, and the name and number of every spacecraft from Freedom 7 to Skylab 3. She could tell you the speed of light (186,300 miles per second), the distance to the moon (238,860 miles), and the names of the three nearest stars( the Sun, Alpha Centauri, and Barnard’s Star).
By the time she was sixteen, Sally had decided to become an astrophysicist, a scientist who studies space. She had also become a nationally ranked tennis player. She remembers yawning（打哈欠） through an important tennis match on June 20, 1969, after staying up all night to watch Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon. Sally lost the match.
As Sally got older, many of her friends started playing professional tennis. Some of them tried to talk her into quitting school to join them on the professional tennis circuit. But Sally said no. “ Black holes are more interesting to me than backhands,” she told them. Now she knows that she made the right choice, but in 1970 Sally had no way of knowing that NASA would open the space program to women.

举一反三
On September 3, the American tennis player said a tearful goodbye to his 21-year career after a third-round defeat in the US Open. The 36-year-old tried his best, but was unable to keep up with German Benjamin Becker, more than ten years his junior.
"The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn"t say is what I"ve found," Agassi said to the fans. "I have found inspiration and you willed me to succeed." It was an emotional speech at the end of a long career.
Agassi hated tennis as a teenager as much as he loves it now. His father made him play when he was a child. He got bored, and became a rebel(叛逆). The strict training that his father pushed upon him got in the way of his wild lifestyle. He grew hair long, wore colorful clothes and spat at a judge. Over the years, he has made bad jokes during news conferences. Asked what he would say to his 17-year-old self, Agassi answered, "I would say, I understand you a lot more than I want to be you."
The turning point in Agassi"s career came in 1992 when he unexpectedly won his first Grand Slam (大满贯赛事)at Wimbledon. It was the first time Agassi understood what real champions finally understand: winning is a test of courage and not just power, it"s a marathon, not a sprint(短跑).
And what a marathon Agassi was about to begin. He cut his long hair, got fitter and tightened up emotionally. On the court, he ranked No. 1 for almost two years. His lowest point came in 1997 when his ranking dropped to No. 141. He didn"t quit though. "I knew that I would try to get the most out of myself every day from that day forward. That was my promise," he said. "That never stopped."
小题1:The underlined phrase "more than ten years his junior" in the second paragraph means _________.
| A．having lower ranking than Agassi for more than ten years |
| B．having higher ranking than Agassi for more than ten years |
| C．more than ten years older than Agassi |
| D．more than ten years younger than Agassi |
| A．He felt angry with the judge |
| B．He felt satisfied with the scoreboard |
| C．He felt regretful but encouraged |
| D．He felt in great desperation |
| A．after 1997 Agassi began to take up marathon besides tennis |
| B．Agassi began to play tennis before he was fifteen |
| C．Agassi hesitated to quit his sports career |
| D．the reason why Agassi lost his last competition was that he lacked courage and power |
| A．0-2 | B．0-3 | C．1-3 | D．2-3 |
There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns. It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.
The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady told him the price.
The man’s wife lowered her head. There was no longer a smile on the man’s face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”
The ticket lady again told him the price.
The man obviously didn’t have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?
Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground. (We were not rich ourselves at all!) He then tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, you dropped this.”
The man understood my father was helping him. He picked up the money, looked straight into my dad’s eyes, and in tears replied. “Thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
Although we did not go to the circus that night, we didn’t go without.

Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money. At the same time, his father became seriously ill. From that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.
By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.
After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success. This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.
Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China’s future. In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.
Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun’s importance and influence have grown. Today, many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.
小题1:Which of the following greatly influenced Lu Xun’s writing according to the passage?
| A．The people he met in Japan. |
| B．Working as a teacher in Beijing. |
| C．The experiences in his early life. |
| D．His father’s being put into prison. |
| A．It was based on Lu Xun’s diary. |
| B．It was the first novel to use everyday language. |
| C．Its story took place in modern times. |
| D．It was written using a western style. |
| A．the success of Diary of a Madman |
| B．the use of everyday language |
| C．the first Chinese novel |
| D．The True Story of Ah Q |
| A．funny stories |
| B．articles about himself |
| C．articles against the government |
| D．stories about government officials |
a. The government stopped him from publishing books.
b. He wrote Diary of a Madman.
c. His father became ill.
d. He moved to Shanghai.
e. His writings were put into textbooks.
| A．c-a-b-d-e | B．c-b-d-a-e |
| C．a-c-d-b-e | D．a-d-b-c-e |

“Stop that noise.” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help! Help! I"m sure I"m !”
Peter got out of bed and started , but he could not find him any clothes.
“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my stomach!”
As soon as he had put his clothes , he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite 44that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait morning, can"t you?”
“No, I can"t. Go, go, go.” his wife shouted,“ you will find me dead the morning.”
So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters he heard his wife calling him again.
“I"m again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.
Hearing this, he started running as as he could towards the doctor"s. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake around.

“Oh, Doctor.”Peter said to him, “I"ve very news for you. My wife ill with a terrible stomachache (胃疼). I was on my way to bring you to her, but she called me back to say the trouble had suddenly her. So you need not come. Go back to now, and sleep well!”
