One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.
The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed. I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, “The war is over!” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.
小题1:What the grandfather was most worried about was ______.
A.the spread of the world war | B.the safety of his two cousins |
C.a drop in his living standards | D.his relatives killing each other |
A.order for army service | B.train ticket for Europe |
C.letter of rejection | D.note of warning |
A.Strength. | B.Courage. | C.Victory. | D.Honor. |
A.Disappointing. | B.Unexpected. | C.Uncertain. | D.Inspiring. |
答案
小题1:D
小题2:A
小题3:D
小题4:B
解析
小题1:细节推理题。根据第1段…a if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin可推知孙子一旦参军可能导致亲人间相互斗争,因此担忧。D选项符合本意。
小题2:词义判断题。根据下文…her soldier brother going off to war可知draft notice的含义应该是征兵令,故选择A。B“去欧洲的火车票”,C“被拒收的信”, D“警告令”。都不合上下文。
小题3:词义判断题。根据下文which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted可知这是令人感到自豪的东西,故service pins 代指honour。
小题4:推理判断题。开始人们依依不舍地送自己亲友去参军,但火车刚开出去就接到战争已结束的命令,所以这令人感到非常意外,使用Unexpected最能表达这层意思。

When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans.Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.
Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.”
As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea .
I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story.My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.
At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian.It was a strange country.
How things change! And how soon!
Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”.And everyone is talking about China.
The govemment of Indin has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done.A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投资)and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.
But it’s a two-way street.I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software.Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.
No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.
No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian(中印)century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.
But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.

“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I 36 disappointment. “If you can carry on, one day something good will happen. And you"ll realize that it wouldn"t have happened if not for that 37 disappointment.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932.I had decided to try out a job in radio, then work my way up to sports 38 . I hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got turned down every time.
In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring inexperienced person. “Go out in the sticks and find a small station that’ll give you a 39 ,”she said.
I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois. 40 there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local 41 to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I 42 . The job sounded just right for me. But I wasn’t hired.
My disappointment must have 43 . “Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration 44 . I asked a1oud, “How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur 45 . “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an 46 game.
On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother’s words. I often wonder what 47 my life might have taken if I’d gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.

So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your patent’s money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?
Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any picture; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun — after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.
Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.
*Researching Schools. To us, the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best — not the one that is the most competitive (有竞争力的) or has the best-equipped rooms.
*Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com , you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications(申请)and links to many more .
*Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most difficult parts of the admissions (录取) course . It’s nor the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the test. But, if you think you can do better, find the right course for better scores.
*Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid . If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost. For more information, call 600-3681 or visit JohnsonReview.com. Wherever you go, have a nice trip!

At first we tried to push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. we put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community(社区).We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours, and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that.
Although-our situation was very bad, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought , “We didn’t have a straw hut(茅草房)that was swept away , and our house is still sanding . We’re lucky .”
We moved back home in August. With December coming, there’s reconstruction work to be done, so it’s difficult to prepare for Christmas. But I can’t wait — I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year , I won’t need any gifts — living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions . Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush — we have our home back, and that’s the main thing.
