     I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own
family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her
family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin. In my family, it was always important to place blame when
anything bad happened. "Who did this? "my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen. "This is all your
fault, Katharine,   "my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke. From the time
we were little, my sister, brothers and told on each other.
      We set a place for blame at the dinner table. But the Whites didn"t worry about who had done what.
They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the
summer Jane died. In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida
to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy,
had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new driver"s license(驾照),Amy was excited about
practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met. The big sisters shared
the driving of Sarah"s new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas,
they let Amy take over.
      Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the
wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn"t see the sign
no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large
truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.
      Jane was killed immediately. I was slightly injured.
     The most difficult thing that I"ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and
that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to
lose a child. When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a
room.   Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy"s leg was broken. They hugged(拥抱)us all and cried
tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls" tears and made a few
jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches(拐杖). To both of their daughters, and especially to
Amy, over and over they simply said, "We"re so glad that you"re alive. "I was astonished. No blame.
No accusations (谴责).
      Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a
stop sign. Mrs. White said, "Jane"s gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring
her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we
blame her for her sister"s death? "They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and
got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She"s also a mother
of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.

1. The author of the passage is _____. 

A. Mrs. White"s niece

     Lisa was running late. Lisa,25,had a lot to do at work,plus visitors on the way: her parents were
coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started
to feel uncomfortably warn. By the time she got to the platform,Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn"t
been a good idea to give blood the night before,she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the
tracks.
     Several yards away,Frank,43,and his girlfriend,Jennifer,found a spot close to where the front of the
train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
     But when he heard the scream,followed by someone yelling,"Oh,my God,she fell in!" Frank didn"t
hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. "No!
Not you! "his girlfriend screamed after him.
     She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa,he could feel the tracks shaking and
see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
     It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so
that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly
regained consciousness,felt herself being pulled along the ground,and saw someone else holding her purse.
     Lisa thought she"d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the
blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn"t,and that was when she realized how
much pain she was in.
     Police and fire officials soon arrived,and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend
was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown-just as he had been seconds after the rescue,which
made her think about her reaction at the time. "I saw the train coming and 1 was thinking he was going to
die,"she explained.

1. What was the most probable cause for Lisa"s weakness?

A. She had run a long way.              
B. She felt hot in the subway.
C. She had done a 1ot of work.            
D. She had donated blood the night before.

2. Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?

A. Because they would miss their train.        
B. Because he didn"t see the train coming.
C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.  
D. Because she was afraid the train would kill him.

3. How did Frank save Lisa?

A. By lifting her to the platform.          
B. By helping her rise to her feet.
C. By pulling her along the ground.        
D. By dragging her away from the edge.

4. When did Lisa become conscious again?

A. When the train was leaving.            
B. After she was back on the platform.
C. After the police and fire officials came.  
D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.

5. The passage is intended to _____________

A. warn us of the danger in the subway      
B. show US how to save people in the subway
C. tell US about a subway rescue          
D. report a traffic accident
