     Several weeks later my students were to have a recital (演奏会)．To my surprise,Robby came,asking to play in the recital.
     "But,it is for current pupils,you dropped."
     "My mom was sick.But I have been practicing.I"ve just got to play!"

     Robby pulled out the piano bench and began.It was Mozart"s work!I was not prepared for what I
heard next.Like in a dream,I was then woken up by the wild applause-everybody was on their feet!
     "I"ve never heard you play like that,Robby!How"d you do it?"
     Through the microphone Robby explained:"Well,Miss Hondorf,remember I told you my mom was
sick?Actually she had cancer and died this morning.She was born deaf,and tonight was the first time she
ever heard me play.I wanted to make it special."

完形填空。     It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas；and as the newest doctor in our
office, I had to work. The only thing that   1   my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in
our waiting room and a   2   sent to me by a fellow I was dating - a dozen long-stemmed red roses.
     Then I was told a lady   3   needed to speak with me. As I stepped out, I noticed a young,
tired-looking woman with a   4   in her arms. Nervously, she   5   that her husband - a prisoner in a
nearby prison-was my   6   patient. She told me she wasn"t   7   to visit her husband in prison and
that he had never seen his   8  . Her request was for me to let the boy"s father sit in the waiting room
with her as   9   as possible before I called him for his appointment. I agreed.   10  , it was Christmas
Eve.
     Her husband arrived-with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards. The woman"s tired
face   11   like our Christmas   12   when her husband took a seat beside her. After almost an hour, I
called the   13   to my office.
     At the end of the   14  , I wished him a Merry Christmas - a(n)   15   thing to say to a man headed
back to prison. He   16   and thanked me. He also said he felt   17   by the fact he hadn"t been able to
get his wife anything for Christmas. On   18   this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea.
     I"ll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful   19  . I"m not
sure who experienced the most joy - the husband in giving, the wife in   20  , or myself in having the
opportunity to share in this special moment.

阅读理解
The Plot Against America is a novel by Philip Roth published in 2004. Instead of reconstructing real historical events, Philip Roth offers something bolder: a reconstruction of imagined events, a "what if...?" that reads like a "what really happened". Just suppose...that the air hero Charles Lindbergh, the man who made the first solo transatlantic flight in 1927, who earned huge sympathy when his baby son was kidnapped and murdered five years later, who called Hitler "a great man", just suppose that he"d run for president in November 1940, and took advantage of the feelings that undoubtedly existed then (No more war! Never again will young Americans die on foreign soil!), and that instead of Roosevelt being elected for a third term and taking America into Europe to fight the Nazis, Lindbergh won a landslide victory. And then he signed non-aggression treaties with Germany and Japan, and introduced a set of anti-semitic(反犹太人的) measures which were a betrayal of the rights and liberties in the constitution(宪法) and yet they were accepted by the mass of ordinary citizens and even by some Jews. The narrator is Philip Roth, aged seven, and the family at the book"s centre are his family-father Herman, mother Bess and brother Sandy. The Roths understand the threat posed by Lindbergh, but each member of the family responds differently. Early on, there"s a trip to see the sights of Washington, where the Roths find their pre-booked hotel room has become mysteriously unavailable. An obvious case of anti-semitism, Herman shouts, and a violation of the principle that "All men are created equal". But his loudmouth protests embarrass Bess. Already there"s a pressure to pretend not to see what"s going on. Further disagreements arise when Sandy disappears for the summer for an "apprenticeship"(学徒期) with a Kentucky tobacco farmer. Worse, after he successfully encourages other Jewish city boys to follow his example, he"s invited to a reception at the White House through his aunt, Bess"s sister Evelyn. While Herman refuses Sandy permission to attend, Evelyn defends Lindbergh as a freely elected democrat.
1.Which of the following is true in history according to the passage?
A.Lindbergh’s son was kidnapped and killed in 1933. B.Lindbergh was elected president of America in 1940. C.There were antiwar feelings in America during the 1940s. D.America didn’t fight the Nazis during the World War Two.
2. Lindbergh could be elected President mainly because ___________.
A. Americans felt sympathy for his son B. his antiwar policy was welcome C. Hitler supported his measures against Jews D. he was a great air hero in America
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A. The Roths at the book"s centre are Jewish. B. Herman is a strong supporter to Lindbergh. C. Sandy dislikes his experience in Kentucky. D. Jewish boys are encouraged to go to the war.
4. What can we learn from the Roths" experience in Washington?
A. We shouldn"t protest loudly when faced with problems. B. All men were equally treated in America at that time. C. The Roths had a happy time when touring Washington. D. Jews suffered from unfair treatment due to anti-semitism.
5. In which column of the newspaper do you probably find the article?
A. Book review B. Travel journal C. National news D. Family life
