When the little girl was growing up, the great man would hug her and tell her, “ I love you, little girl.” The little girl would shout and say, “ I’m not a little girls anymore.” Then the man would laugh and say, “ But to me, you’ll always be my little girl.”
The little girl who- was- not- little- anymore left her home and went into the world. As she learned more about herself, she learned more about the man. She saw that he truly was great and strong, for now she recognized his strengths. One of his strengths was his ability to express his love to his family. It didn’t matter where she went in the world, the man would call her and say, “ I love you, little girl.”
The day came when the little girl who-was- not- little-anymore received a phone call. The great man was damaged. He had had a stroke(中风 ). He couldn’t talk anymore and they weren’t sure that he could understand the words spoken to him.
And so she went to the side of the great man. When she walked into the room and saw him, he looked small and not strong at all. He looked at her and tried to speak, but he could not.
The little girl did the only thing she could do. She climbed up on the bed next to the great man. Tears ran from both of their eyes and she drew her arms around the useless shoulders of her father.
Her head on his chest, she thought of many things. She remembered the wonderful times together and how she has always felt protected. And then she heard from within the man, the beat of his heart. The heart where the musid and the words had always lived. The heart beat on, steadily unconcerned about damage to the rest of the body. And while she rested there, the magic happened. She heard what she needed to hear.
His hear beat out the words that his mouth could no longer say…
I love you
I love you
I love you
Little girl
Little girl
Little girl
And she was comforted.

We waited. We expected the lights to come on again soon. But nothing happened. Then I began to smell something. Yes, I could smell smoke. So I asked myself, “Is this train on fire?” People around me then began to cry out in fear. “The train is on fire!” they cried.
Then the woman standing next to me suddenly fell on the floor. I realized she was overcome by the smoke. Then I saw flames appearing. “If something does not happen soon,” I said to myself, “I will be burnt alive!”
But as I stood there in the dark in that crowded burning train, I could see no way to escape. I thought, “No one can save me from certain death but God. Only God can make a way for any of us to escape death in this train.”
Before the flames reached me, I found the open door and I climbed out of the train into the dark tunnel. Then as quickly as I could, I ran from the burning train down the tunnel. Now as I ran I could hear hundreds of people that were locked in that burning train, crying out for help. I knew I could do nothing to help them, so I ran on.
Then for two hours I kept walking in that dark train tunnel. At last I saw a light in the distance. I asked myself “Why did God enable me to escape death?” I decided, “God must have a purpose for saving my life. He must want me to help other people experience what He could do for them.”

C.Calling reporters. |
D.Returning to help. |
I cried, “God, if it is not my time to die, please help me!” Then I heard a noise. It was like a door opening. It was on my right hand side. So in the dark, I at once began to push my way forward to where that noise came from.
A.Between Paragraph 2 and 3. |
B.Between Paragraph 3 and 4. |
C.Between Paragraph 4 and 5. |
D.Between Paragraph 5 and 6. |
I am a very conservative woman. I don’t drink, dance, wear makeups or pants. I enjoy the company of friends despite(尽管)our differences and thought they enjoyed mine.
On our most recent outing, however, they laughed at my religious jewelry, commented on my “lack of fashion,” and made me feel guilty for not wanting to stay out late.
Despite this, they are great friends and would help me at the drop of a hat. I don’t bring up their being overweight, or that I think some of the clothes they wear are ugly. I don’t criticize them for sleeping around. I wish they would accept me for who I am.
I am considering not going out with them the next time they ask, but I don’t really want it to come to that. Any suggestions?

Dear Old-Fashioned Girl,
Just this: It’s time for you to start cultivating relationships with people whose values are more like your own. The friends you have described may be lovely, but their comments were out of line and folks are known by the company they keep. If you spend a lot of time with the women you have described, people will begin to make assumptions(臆断) about you.

There are different ideas on how the expression came into common use.Perhaps the most popular story is about a famous boxer,Charles Kid McCoy,a one-time world famous welter-weigh champion.One day,McCoy was having a drink in a bar with a lady friend.A man came up and began to talk to her.He was not a nice man.
McCoy wanted no trouble.He asked the man to leave.He said.“I"m Kid McCoy.”McCoy thought his name was so well-known that he didn’t need to say more.But the man did not believe him.“Oh,yeah?” he said.“Well,if you are Kid McCoy,then I am George Washington!” And he continued to speak to the prize-fighter’s friend in all unpleasant way.
McCoy hit the man with a fist-not hard-actually it was really a light touch.But the man fell to the ground,unconscious.Ten minutes later,when he came to sense,he called out. “That was the real McCoy!” And so,as told by kid McCoy,that was how the expression “the real McCoy” got started.
There are other versions,however.One is that the expression goes back to the days of prohibition(禁止)when it was illegal in the United States to sell whiskey.Although whiskey was against the law,many sold it.And many sold bad whiskey.They were not afraid to do so,because there was so little that anybody could do about it.Buying whiskey,good or had,was as illegal as selling it.
But there was one whiskey dealer who was honest.His name was McCoy.He refused to sell bad whiskey.He sold only the best imported whiskey.His product became recognized as the best.It was called “the real McCoy”.
The expression survived prohibition days and soon became a general term.One way or another,no matter how the expression began,“the real McCoy” is an expression that everyone understands.It means the one and only—the best one.They are indeed words of special praise.
小题1:What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.It is about the exact meaning of the version. |
B.It tells how a person gets his name. |
C.It shows how to tell the real from the false. |
D.It explains how to find the best. |
A.a champion | B.George Washington |
C.a fellow | D.McCoy |
A.A national law forbade the sale of alcoholic drinks. |
B.Bad whiskey was not allowed to sell. |
C.People at that time preferred nothing but whiskey. |
D.The days of prohibition resulted in MeCoy’s selling wine. |
A.The story of a famous boxer. |
B.The general use of the version. |
C.The expression and its story. |
D.The friendship between an athlete and a seller. |
I 38 Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She 39 and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I 40 I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there 41 , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that 42 Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story was just impossible. The 43 was almost unbearable. I 44 for days with draft after draft(草稿). Finally I put my article into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My article 45 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I 46 in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t 47 the refusal letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, while 48 my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in 49 :
Dear Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is nice. Yet we need some 50 materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to 51 your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to 52 . Fear of refusal cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars. More importantly, I lost years of 53 writing. Today, I have become a full-time writer. Looking back on this 54 , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t 55 to doubt yourself.

I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small sections. When I understood it clearly, I used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding (编码). At first, I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the question “How do I do it?” As I kept working and discussed with my professor, I became more comfortable and those “how” questions soon turned into “what if I do this and that” types of questions.
It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy. I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didn’t know what to do. At that moment, a man came in to clean. He had headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again, and soon I fixed the problem.
My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project.
小题1:According to the passage, the writer was interested in ______.
A.developing traffic systems | B.doing challenging projects |
C.winning great prizes | D.writing different codes |
A.he had no clear idea about his program | B.he was too shy to express himself |
C.he wanted to be understood easily | D.he preferred this kind of question |
A.would benefit people a lot | B.was done together with others |
C.was difficult and needed patience | D.cost much money and energy |
A.Do It Yourself | B.No Pains, No Gains |
C.Learning with Interest | D.Practice Makes Perfect |
