Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in
the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry he dived into the cool water and flew into the
water, not 1 that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator(美洲鳄) was swimming
toward the 2 . His mother, looking out the window in the house, saw the two as they got closer
and closer together. In utter(完全的) fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as 3 as
she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became 4 and made a return to swim to his mother.
It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator 5 him. From the dock(码头), the mother
grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible
tug-of-war(拔河) between the two. The alligator was much 6 than the mother, but the mother
was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from
his truck, took aim and 7 the alligator.
Remarkably(出乎意外地), after weeks in hospital, the little boy 8 . His legs were 9 scarred
by the attack of the animal and, on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother"s fingernails dug
into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy later asked if he would show him his 10 . The
boy lifted his legs. And then, with obvious 11 , he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have
great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom wouldn"t let go.”
You and I can identify(感同身受) with the 12 . We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator,
or anything quite so dramatic. But, the scars of a 13 past. Some of those scars are unsightly(难看

the midst of your struggle, he"s been there holding on to you. |

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming(宣告) that he had the
most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd 1 (gather), and they all admired his heart

Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, "Why, your heart is not nearly as beautiful as 2." The
crowd and the young man looked at the old man"s heart, which was full of scars. It had places where
pieces had been removed and other 3 (piece) put in, but they didn"t fit quite right, and there were
several jagged(锯齿状的) edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges(沟槽) where
whole pieces were 4 (miss).
The young man laughed. "Comparing your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess
of scars."
"Yes," said the old man, "Yours looks perfect 5 I would never trade with you. You see, every
scar represents a person to 6 I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them,
and often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the empty place in my heart. But because the
pieces aren"t exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of 7 love
we shared. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn"t returned a
piece of his or her heart 8 me. These are the empty gouges. Although these gouges are painful,
they stay open, 9 (remind) me of the love I have for those people. So now do you see 10 true
beauty is?" | | 阅读理解。 | Six years ago, a Miami woman walking through the hall of an office building casually noticed
two men standing together. Several minutes after her leaving, the men murdered a person working
in the building. Police investigators determined that the woman was the only witness who had seen
the two suspects, and could possibly describe them. In an interview with police, her memory of the
men proved disappointingly unclear.
Several days later, psychologist Ronald P. Fisher was brought in to obtain a more complete
account from the woman. Fisher’s interview produced a breakthrough-the woman reported a clear
picture of one of the suspects. She then recalled several details about his appearances. This information
gave police important leads that enabled them to arrest the suspects and close the case.
Police investigators sought the help from Fisher because of his rich knowledge in conducting the
so-called cognitive (认知的) interview, a kind of memory-rebuilding process. In its original form, the
cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques: thinking
about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events, reporting
everything that comes to mind about those events no matter how broken or unconnected, retelling
events in a variety of time orders, beginning to end, end to beginning, forward or backward, and
adopting different perspectives while recalling events.
Usually, an interviewer begins the cognitive approach by encouraging the witness to take an
active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone else’s questions.
The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words, with no interviewer interruptions.
The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques, such as having the witness tell the details
of what happened from different perspectives.
Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they get
nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training, while error rates remain about
the same. | | 1. What is the purpose of writing this passage? | A. To give an account of a murder case in an office

B. giving her encouragement
C. rebuilding her memory
D. giving her more time | 3. It can be inferred from the passage that in a cognitive interview, the interviewer mainly plays
a _______role. | A. directing
B. questioning
C. passive
D. secondary | | 4. What is the key point of the cognitive interview? | A. The interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to time.
B. The witness is encouraged to take an active role in recalling information.
C. The interview should take place outside the police station.
D. The witness should recall details at the scene of the event. | | 5. Police trained in the cognitve interview method can ________. | A. get more information from the witness than before
