“Big boys don’t cry.” I heard those words a lot   36  up in America in the late sixties and early seventies. In those days men were expected to be   37  and rugged and never shed a tear no matter what. Our   38  were all stone faced cowboys who were too   39  to cry. Believing this then I tried my best   40  to cry at all during my teenage and early adult years.
All that changed,   41 , as I was driving home alone one night shortly after my Mom   42 . It was dark and raining outside. I was struggling to   43  the car on the road while at the same time   44  to hold the tears back in my eyes. I remember almost going off the road twice as I blinked back (眨眼控制) the salty water that was burning my   45  and blurring (使模糊) my vision. My hands shook, my heart   46 , and my soul felt dead.   47  I could do it no longer. I stopped, pulled over, lay my head on the steering wheel, and   48 . I cried until the tears couldn’t fall anymore. I cried until the pain that I was holding onto so   49  finally fled my heart.
After that night I   50  something. Big boys do cry.   51 , it is the biggest hearts that cry the most. I realized too that it is our   52  that can release us from our anger and our grief while   53  us to our love and our God. Tears help us to embrace this often bittersweet life. They help us to keep growing   54  to each other in love and joy instead of   55  ourselves up in dull, aching, and lonely hearts.

举一反三
There is a very special wolf that lives in Africa. They are actually called, the African wild dog, of painted dogs.
These animals live in open woodlands, or in the plains of Africa. Today, however, most of the animals can be found in eastern or southern Africa. These animals are beautiful. They have rounded ears instead of pointed like most dogs, and they have four toes (脚趾) on each of their four feet, also a unique characteristic because other dogs have five. Their fine fur is always different from each other. The fur is usually a combination of black, brown, red, and white, and sometimes even yellow. No wonder they’re called the painted wolf.
The African wild dog is a very social animal. They live in groups and have numbers from five to about twenty. The members of a group are always very close to one another. They communicate in their own language or body language. When someone is very old or sick, the others will help, and they are willing to share the food with the elders and with those who are weak, which is what we should learn from.
The family does everything together, from raising young, to sleeping together, to hunting. When they hunt, they will work together suing team work to kill animals that are larger than them.
They sometimes hunt farm animals. This is unfortunate, because both poachers (偷猎者), and people who own farms shoot the painted dogs who are just trying to survive.
Before, there used to be many large groups throughout the land, but now the African wild god is very rare. They are also losing their population because of their own loss of habitat thanks to human’s farming and forest cutting.
小题1:From the text we learn that the African wild dog         .
A.lives in the north of Africa
B.has sixteen toes altogether
C.has pointed ears like most dogs
D.lives in forests in groups
小题2:Why do African wild dogs get the name “painted dogs”?

B.The dogs in the same group are of different colors.
C.Artists love to paint them in different colors.
D.None of them has the same color.
小题3:According to the author, what should we learn from African wild dogs?
A.They always do everything together.

C.They are always very close to one another.

小题4:Which of the following is NOT the reason why African wild dogs are becoming very rare?

Half a century after the March of Dimes (a US charity organization that collects money for children) put the 20th century’s most feared childhood disease on the road to eradication (根除), Bill Gates declared polio (小儿麻痹症) his important job and challenged world leaders to finish the job.
India, Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan now have active transmission (传播) of the disease. Gates says the biggest problem with the success of the Global Polio Eradication program in those countries and elsewhere is lack of money.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plans to increase its $200 million annual contribution (每年的捐款) by $102 million this year, Gates says. Gates recently met privately with Pakistan’s President in Washington, D.C., to try to persuade him to provide full support for Pakistan’s eradication plan.
Children in the USA also are at risk, experts say. Parents who don’t vaccinate (给某人接种疫苗) their children because they are fearful of vaccine side-effects create a large number of children who are likely to be harmed by the virus.
“If you increase the number of unvaccinated children, you increase the chance that this virus will find new subjects,” says David Oshinsky, Pulitzer Prized-winning author of Polio: An American Story.
“We’ve got to get this vaccine into the mouths of children,” says Bruce Aylward, head of the World Health Organization’s eradication program.
In 1988, when the World Health Organization launched the Global Polio Eradication program, the disease killed 350,000 children a year worldwide. By last year, the total dropped to fewer than 1,500 worldwide, Aylward says.
If Gates provides the final push for polio eradication, he may be remembered as much for helping prevent polio as for founding Microsoft, Oshinsky says.
“As long as there’s polio anywhere, people everywhere are at risk,” Aylawrd says. “We’re still not out of the woods.”
小题1:According to the text, the success of the Global Polio Eradication program mainly depends on          .
A.the World Health Organization’s policy
B.the development of a new vaccine
C.the local governments’ support
D.the collection of funds.
小题2:What do we know about polio according to the text?
A.People in Nigeria don’t take it seriously.
B.It’s now the most serious childhood disease.
C.Great progress has been made in preventing it.
D.There are few organizations helping to prevent it.
小题3:According to Oshinsky,           .
A.Gates should devote more time to Microsoft
B.polio eradication is a very important cause
C.vaccine side-effects should not be ignored
D.polio has been brought under control
小题4:According to the passage, which of the following about Bill Gates is TRUE?
A.He is the founder of the Global polio Eradication program.
B.He persuades some of the world leaders to support the eradication plan.
C.His foundation contributes $302, 000 to eradicate polio every year.
D.He works harder on preventing polio than founding Microsoft.
小题5:The underlined part “We’re still not out of the woods” means “       ”.
A.We get lost in the woodsB.We’re not free from trouble
C.we have no idea where to goD.We’re unable to eradicate polio

Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the  greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56,  after a years-long and highly public battle with cancer. Mourners gathered outside his house in Palo Alto, California, and Apple stores around the world.                         
Steve Jobs made technology fun. As tech leaders, they"re really happy if they have one hit in their life. Steve Jobs has the Apple II, the Mac, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad and Pixar.
Steve Jobs was a college dropout. He was adopted by a machinist and his wife, an accountant. They supported his early interest in electronics. He and his friend Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer—now just called Apple—in 1976. They stayed at the company until 1985. That year, Steve Wozniak returned to college and Steve Jobs left in a dispute with the chief executive.
Mr. Jobs then formed his own company, called NeXT Computer. He rejoined Apple in 1997 after it bought NeXT, He helped remake Apple from a business that was in bad shape then to one of the most valuable companies in the world today. However, Steve Jobs stepped down as Apple"s chief executive in August, 2011 because of his health. He died a day after the company released a new iPhone version that met with limited excitement. Steve left behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
President Obama said in a statement: by building one of the planet"s most successful companies from his garage, Steve Jobs showed the spirit of American ingenuity (独创性). By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible but intuitive (直觉的) and fun.
The fact that he was able to redesign American commerce top to bottom and across is really astonishing. He probably will be considered an industrial giant on the scale of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, so one of the greatest of all time. Steve Jobs not only revolutionized technology, he also revolutionized American business. Steve Jobs was remembered as a " great visionary and leader" and a marketing genius.
