would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s,with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to
Europe,where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium,Netherlands and
West Germany.
I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going
abroad.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them
first hand,during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and even today I can remember the
excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable,even for
someone like me,who is otherwise scared of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe,we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf
to Frankfurt airport,for our return flight.What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河),it was
simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked
the end of a wonderful vacation,but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most
enjoyable experience yet again,with the quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me overseas,Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart.Even
today,I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline.
Flying,in general,for me,has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). Flying on Lufthansa,
however,is something I always have and always will look forward to.

cereal (谷类食物), eggs or toast. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a
sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from other kids" too. But_at_least_I_wasn"t_
alone_in_my_sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends
were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we"d be gone an hour, then we be gone one
hour or less-not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you
can see how mean she was.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning.
We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath,
while the other kids always wore their clothes for days. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up
mean things to do to us.
Through the years, things didn"t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, "sick" like our friends did,
and miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par(达到正常水平). Our friends" report cards
had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was,
would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks.
As the years rolled by, we were one by one put to shame. We were graduated from high school.
With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure
of being a dropout.
My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some
higher education. And whom do we have to blame for the terrible way we turned out? You"re right,
our mean mother. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.
Now I am trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean.
Because, you see, I had the meanest mother in the world.

| Joey is loyal, encouraging and self-sacrificing, always putting others" interests ahead of his own. He is a hard worker, who also loves to run and play. In short, he"s an ideal friend and a heroic character. Here is the thing: Joey is a horse, who appears as the main character in Steven Spielberg"s new film War Horse. It is based on Michael Morpurgo"s 1982 novel, which also caused the same-titled Tony Awards winning play. The film follows the saga of Joey, a racehorse that"s trained for farm work under the loving care of Albert (Jeremy Irvine )after Albert"s drunk father Ted(Peter Mullan ) overpays for the animal at auction (拍卖会). Then the World War I tears Albert and Joey apart. Joey is sold into the war effort for the British and starts his episodic adventures in Europe. Splendidly staged, the battle plots in the film are visually astounding and impressive. And with Spielberg"s unique, top-notch direction and storytelling skills, War Horse cannot escape its episodic nature, calling to mind another Spielberg film about the horrors of war and its effects upon soldiers and civilians-Saving Private Ryan. While that film shocked with horrific scenes of bleeding, it relied on a company of easily-described characters and a focused storyline to present heroic themes. Like Saving Private Ryan, War Horse clings to a series of characters, not only Albert, but also British officers, French civilians and German soldiers, who display courage in the face of danger. Everyone who comes in contact with Joey is either already in touch with their inner angel or is quickly moved to become more humane. Although none of this covers the fact that we"ve seen this stuff elsewhere before, the lovely sentiment will steal your heart. And the emotional signature of Spielberg can be felt as he establishes the relationship between the boy and the horse and the mood of the piece - there will be tears. Therefore, calling this beautiful, dramatically incomplete film " Saving Private Joey", is entirely justifiable. | |||
| 1. In common with " Saving Private Ryan", the film War Horse _________ . | |||
| A. is full of terrifying scenes of bleeding and killing B. received the title of Tony Awards Winning Play C. covers a lot of characters D. tells the story happening in the Second World War | |||
| 2. Which statement is true according to the passage? | |||
| A. War Horse is based on the same-titled novel by Steven Spielberg. B. Joey is a heroic character because he saved many people"s lives. C. Albert sold Joey into the war effort for Europe. D. Joey came to Albert"s care after Ted paid a lot of money for it. | |||
| 3. According to the passage, what does the underlined word astounding mean? | |||
| A. astonishing B. confusing C. satisfying D. disappointing | |||
| 4. What is the best title for the passage? | |||
| A. Joey ? a heroic race horse B. Albert and Joey C. Saving Private Joey D. Spielberg"s Joey | |||
