In 1987, while serving as the public affairs officer at Fort Bragg, I would frequently visit the local high schools to speak to the students about the Army. As a lieutenant colonel(中校), I found it particularly rewarding to talk with the teenagers about the benefits of military service, if only for a few years of their lives.
During one of these visits, I reported to the secretary in the principal’s office to let her know that I was here for the third-period class. I was a little surprised when she told me. “The principal would like to see you before you go to the class.”
As I entered his office, I was greeted by a gentleman who appeared to be in his late thirties, and he welcomed me with a smile and a handshake. “You don’t remember me, do you?” he said.
I looked closely at the face again and could not recall where we may have met before.
“You were my company commander in basic training at Fort Jackson in 1970,” the principal said.
“Let me help you out,” he suggested. “You gave me a three-day pass to go home and see my newborn baby.” I immediately remembered the incident!
“Yes,” I said. “I remember now.” It was the only three-day pass I had issued because the soldiers were on their way to Vietnam immediately after they finished training. But I knew if I did not let him go home to see his son and something happened to him, I would regret denying the opportunity he had to be with his family.
“Come on, Colonel. I’d like to introduce you to ‘the baby’. He’s in your third-period class. By letting me go see him, you gave me a reason to stay focused and to come home safe from that war. Thank you , sir.”
It was the most rewarding class I had ever given, and I had no problem in telling the students about the bonds of friendship and the values that Army life can provide…and that can last a lifetime.
小题1: In the writer’s opinion, talking to teens about the Army is       .
A.a forced taskB.a pleasant thing
C.an unavoidable dutyD.an embarrassing experience
小题2: Why did the principal want to see the writer?

B.He felt sorry for causing the writer trouble.

小题3:The underlined part in the text suggests that       .
A.the son may dieB.the son may become ill
C.the soldier may die in the warD.the soldier may be hurt in the training
小题4: What might be the most suitable title for the text?

Ricochet, a 19-month-old golden retriever(金毛寻回犬), was bred(饲养) to be a service dog but never made it. Now, she has found her role in the ocean, surfing with a disabled teen.
Patrick Ivison, 15, suffered a severe injury in a car accident when he was 14 months old. He has been disabled since, but the Californian boy never gave up on the goal of walking. He recently took his first steps. When Ivison first met Ricochet, the two immediately hit it off. To raise money for Ivison’s physical therapy(治疗), which is not covered by insurance, it was suggested that the pair take up surfing. Ivison said that when he first heard the idea he thought, “We are completely out of our minds.”
But from the start, the two took to surfing naturally. With the help of his mom, Jennifer Kayler, and friends, who carry Patrick to the ocean and guide the extra-large surfboard into the waters, Ivison rides the waves with his pal standing on the back. “It’s kind of like a grand performance out there,” Ivison said of the group of people who help him out. The dog helps to balance out the board The teen remembered one pass when “we were about to flip over and then she stepped on that side of the board and helped us out.”
The two participated Sunday in the Surf City Surf Dog contest as a fund-raiser(募集资金者). They wowed the cheering crowd during their exhibition. The event raised $8,200. About $2,000 will go toward a service dog for Ivison, and the rest will go toward his “Help Patrick Walk” therapy fund.

A.collect money for his treatmentB.set an example for the disabled
C.realize his dream of being a surfer
D.develop courage and positive attitudes
小题3:What did Ivison think about the idea of going surfing in the beginning?
A.Easy.B.Interesting.C.Crazy.D.Exciting.
小题4:In what way does Ricochet help Ivison surf?

    Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything -- tutors, cards, special learning centers -- in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic(天主教的) school.

I believe in miracles(奇迹)because I"ve seen so many of them. One day, a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old. “There’s a   36  in my upper jaw,” she said. “I told my own dentist it"s nothing, but he   37  I come to see you.”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her. He would    38  to add something, but she stopped him. She wanted to tell everything herself. I found a large cancer that spread over much of the    39  of her mouth. A careful examination later   40   that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment, I explained to her the   41  of the problem. She clasped my hand in hers and said, “I know you’re worried about me, but I’m just   42  .  ”
I thought otherwise. After considerable   43  on my part, and kindness on her part because she wanted to   44  me, she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon(外科医生). She saw him, but as I expected,    45  treatment.
About six months later she returned to my office, still energetic and   46  .
“How are you?” I asked.
“I’m just fine, honey,” she responded   47  high spirits. “When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all, I answered   48  , “Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes. The cancer that had   49  nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness    50  .
I had read of such things happening, but had    51  seen them with my own eyes. That was my first miracle. Since then I"ve seen many others, because they keep getting   52  to see. In fact, miracles are daily events for me now. And people are a miracle,   53  through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to   54  the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle, I"ve come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is 55 we choose to find it.

   Will it matter if you don"t have your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts.
The rules show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit , eggs, bread and milk before going to school ,he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help them lose weight. This is because they are so hungry at noon that eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight instead of losing it. You will lose weight if you reduce your other meals.
