And I was unhappy with      and the way that my life was going. A major      I was struggling with was drug (毒品) use. For two years I had been smoking marijuana (大麻) and got used to it,     could not stop. I did not let drugs affect my grades or personality, but it made a (n)      in how I thought about myself.

举一反三
When I was in the seventh grade, I was a candy striper (义工) at a local hospital in my town. I volunteered(自愿做) about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer.
Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie. He never had any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional squeeze (紧握) of my hand. Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).
I left for a week for a vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was gone. I didn’t have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year.
Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes filled with tears. He was alive! I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.
He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose (昏睡的), he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel(天使), who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive. Then he told me about his life. We exchanged a hug, said our good-byes and went our separate ways.
Although I haven’t seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and his death. As importantly, he has made a great difference in my life. I will never forget him and what he did for me: He made me an angel.

A.she knew for sure that he had recovered
B.she forgot all about him when she returned to the hospital

D.she feared that he might have died

The opening scene of The King’s Speech was, in a word, terrifying. The moment King George VI—wonderfully played by Colin Firth—stepped up to the microphone at Wembley Stadium, a rush of nervousness came over me. It took me back to my school days, standing at my desk, having to read aloud to the class. I whispered to my wife, Jill, “A stutterer(口吃者) wrote this screenplay(剧本).
I grew up with a stutter, really afraid of trying to get through simple sentences—knowing that I would then, or later, be laughed at. I still remember the reading when I was in 7th grade at St. Helena’s: “Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentlemen…” I remember reciting, “Sir Walter Raleigh was a gentlemen.” The school teacher said, “Master B-B-B-Biden! What’s that word?” She wanted me to say gentlemen. But by then, I had learned to put my sentences into bite-size pieces and I was reading it: “gentle”|breath|“man”.
Ninety-nine percent of the time, the teachers were great. I never had professional treatment but a couple of teachers taught me to put a regular rise and fall in my tone of speaking, and that’s why I spent so much time reading poetry. But even in my small, boys’ prep school, I got nailed in my class with the nickname Joe Stutterer. You get so desperate, you’re so embarrassed. I actually went and stood by the side of my house once, with a small round stone in my mouth, and tried to talk. Jill always thought I was kidding until she saw the movie and saw King George did the same thing.
King George relied on the support his wife and the help of Lionel Longue, who, in describing working with other stutterers, said, “My job was to give them confidence in their voices and let them know that a friend was listening.” I was lucky enough to have more than a couple of Lionels in my life. Nobody in my family ever—ever—made fun of me or tried to finish my sentences. My mother would say, “Joey, you cannot let stuttering define you.” And because of her and others, I made sure it didn’t.
Through hard work and determination, I beat my stutter in high school. I even spoke briefly at my graduation ceremony in 1961—the most difficult speech of my life. My fight against shyness and embarrassment at my early age has developed my ability to understand others’ feelings as Vice President of the country in public life. I still mark up all of my speeches the say way Firth’s character does in the movie, pencil-marking every line to remind myself to stop, to breathe, to pause—to beat back my stuttering as best as I can. I don’t stutter anymore, and most people who know me only late in my life are shocked that I ever did.
By capturing exactly how a stutter feels, The King’s Speech has shown millions of people how much courage it takes for a stutterer to stand up and speak. Equally important, it has shown millions who suffer from the pain that it can be overcome, we are not alone, and with the support of those around us, our deepest fears can be conquered.
小题1:The writer whispered to his wife, “A stutterer wrote this screenplay”, because __________.
A.he desired to release his secret to his wife
B.he was reminded how it was as a stutterer on such occasions
C.he thought Colin Firth had a wonderful performance in the film
D.he wanted to make his wife realize why the film was so popular
小题2:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 imply?
A.The writer would have a good fortune to get help from many people.
B.The writer should realize he had to stand up from his pain and defeat it
C.The writer could get enough confidence under his mother’s help
D.The writer must be happy that everyone in his family did not laugh at him.
小题3:What message is conveyed in the passage?
A.Whatever pain and fear we have, we can defeat them if we try hard.
B.The similar stories of the writer and King George VI gains great admiration.
C.The suffer we had at our early age will have a heavy influence on our future life.
D.Stuttering is such a pain for children that we should give help and encourage them.

That morning, I got the train as always. I was a publishing director and was looking forward to embracing a new day of work, as usual. I would always turn to the crossword(纵横填字游戏), but that day it didn"t     . I"d been doing it for 30-old years, but trying to read this one was like walking through syrup(糖浆):    slow and hard. I thought I must be tired.
I said to my assistant. The      colleague contacted my wife, Beth, and she drove me straight to hospital. There, confirmation came that I"d had a stroke in the part of my brain that communication. I was now in a condition that means it"s difficult or   to receive and produce language. It was the only time I     .
I was back at home a week later, and my goal was to get better and      work in a couple of months. The way to   my language ability was rough. I"d look at simple pictures and try to describe them as my mind      round and round in the darkness, looking for words.
As the months passed, it became      that I wasn"t going to be able to go back to my old job. For 25 years, I had      myself as a publisher. I was used to a busy day of meetings. I enjoyed colleagues and the      I"d had. I didn’t feel ready to say goodbye to my old self. There were times when I felt incredibly     .
In the darkest months, I devoted myself to     . I couldn"t manage novels or newspapers,   I tried reading poetry, and found the shorter lines less overwhelming(势不可挡的). My speech came back, and I learned how to read again, though much more slowly. I also learned the      to keep up. I allowed myself to slow down, and started to enjoy it.
 ,  I get rid of my old skin. I grieved(感到悲痛) the past, its passing and its absence, and started to     it. Now, 10 years later, I look after my grandson a day a week, and my relationship with my family is deeper than ever. If you"d asked me 15 years ago to      the importance of the things in my life I might have said work, but now I"m no longer a high-achieving publisher or someone who reads 10 books a week. I"m a      man, and if I read 10 books a year, that’s pretty good.

David’s Haircut
When David steps out of the front door he is blinded for a moment by the white, strong sunlight and reaches for his dad’s hand automatically. It’s the first really warm day of the year, an unexpected heat that bridges the gap between spring and summer. Father and son are on their way to the barbershop, something they have always done together.
Always, the routine is the same. “It’s about time we got that mop of yours cut,” David’s dad will say, pointing at him with two fingers, a cigarette caught between them. “Perhaps I should do it. Where are those scissors, Janet?” Sometimes his dad runs after him round the living room, pretending to cut off his ears. When he was young, David used to get too excited and start crying, scared that maybe he really would lose his ears, but he has long since grown out of that.
Mr Samuels’ barbershop is in a long room above the chip shop, reached by a steep and worn flight of stairs. David follows his father. He loves the barbershop — it’s like nowhere else he goes. It smells of cigarettes and men and hair oil. Sometimes the smell of chips will climb the stairs along with a customer and when the door opens the waiting men lift their noses together. Black and white photographs of men with various out-of-fashion hairstyles hang above a picture rail at the end of the room, where two barber’s chairs are fixed to the floor. They are heavy, old-fashioned chairs with foot pumps that screams as Mr Samuels adjusts the height of the seat. In front of the chairs are deep sinks with a showerhead and long metal pipe attached to the taps, not that anyone seems to use them. Behind the sinks are mirrors and on either side of these, shelves overflowing with all types of plastic combs, shaving mugs, scissors, cut throat razors, hair brushes and, 10 bright red bottles of Brylcreem(男士发油), piled neatly in a pyramid. At the back of the room sit the customers, silent for most of the time, except when Mr Samuels breaks off from cutting and smoke his cigarette, sending a stream of grey-blue smoke like the tail of kite twisting into the air.
When it is David’s turn for a cut, Mr Samuels places a wooden board covered with a piece of red leather across the arms of the chair, so that the barber doesn’t have to bend to cut the boy’s hair. David scrambles up onto the bench.
“Hey, young man, you’re shooting up, you won’t need this soon, you’ll be able to sit in the chair,” the barber says.
“Wow,” says David, turning round to look at his dad, forgetting that he can see him through the mirror. “Dad, Mr Samuels said I could be sitting in the chair soon, not just on the board!”
“So I hear,” his father replies, not looking up from the paper. “I expect Mr Samuels will start charging me more for your hair then.”
“At least double the price,” said Mr Samuels, winking at David.
Finally David’s dad looks up from his newspaper and glances into the mirror, seeing his son looking back at him. He smiles.
“Wasn’t so long ago when I had to lift you onto that board because you couldn’t climb up there yourself,” he says.
“They don’t stay young for long do they, kids”, Mr Samuels declares. All the men in the shop nod in agreement. David nods too.
In the mirror he sees a little head sticking out of a long nylon cape. Occasionally he steals glances at the barber as he works. He smells a mixture of smelly sweat and aftershave as the barber moves around him, combing and cutting, combing and cutting.
David feels like he is in another world, noiseless except for the sound of the barber’s shoes rubbing on the plastic carpet and the click of his scissors. In the reflection from the window he could see through the window, a few small clouds moved slowly through the frame, moving to the sound of the scissors’ click.
Sleepily, his eyes dropping to the front of the cape where his hair falls softly as snow and he imagines sitting in the chair just like the men and older boys, the special bench left leaning against the wall in the corner. He thinks about the picture book of Bible stories his aunt gave him for Christmas, the one of Samson having his hair cut by Delilah. David wonders if his strength will go like Samson’s.
When Mr Samuels has finished, David hops down from the seat, rubbing the itchy hair from his face. Looking down he sees his own thick, blonde hair mixed among the browns, greys and blacks of the men who have sat in the chair before him. For a moment he wants to reach down and gather up the broken blonde hair, to separate them from the others, but he does not have time.
They reach the pavement outside the shop. “I tell you what, boy, let’s get some fish and chips to take home, save your mum from cooking tea,” says David’s dad and turns up the street.
The youngster is excited and catches his dad’s hand. The thick-skinned fingers close gently around his and David is surprised to find, warming in his father’s palm, a handful of his own hair.
小题1:How old is David most probably age according to the context?
A.2B.4C.10D.17
小题2: Why does the author describe the barbershop detailedly in David’s eyes in Paragraph 3?
A.Because David is not familiar with this place and tries to remember it.
B.Because David develops great friendfish with the shop owner.
C.Because the barbershop is a place that attracts him greatly.
D.Because the barbershop is very traditional and David can see one nowhere else.
小题3:Saying “I expect Mr Samuels will start charging me more for your hair then”, David’s dad is ________.
A.showing his proudness of his son’s growth
B.complaining about the price of the haircut
C.expressing his thanks to the shopowner’s kindness
