"Hello Barry. Would you like to 3 some peas home?"

brother and 4-year-old sister. I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a
wonderful job of babysitting the younger children. Later, I discovered that I was completely wrong.
I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out. I
called home with this happy news．But instead of hearing his cheerful, grateful voice on the other end
of the line, allI heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.
It was, I should point out, after 10 p.m., when the two younger children should have been in bed,
and when the two older children should have been answering the phone. "I"ll give him a lesson, " I said.
I decided they must be outside. Why they might be outside at 10:30 on a winter night I had no idea,
but it was the only explanation I could come up with.
Finally, in desperation (绝望), I called his girlfriend"s house. His girlfriend answered. "Yes," she said
brightly, "He"s right here."
He came on the phone．I was not my usual calm, patient．After all, one of the rules of survival for
modern parents is that you can"t trust modern teenagers. "Where are the children?" I said. He said they
were with him. They had done nothing wrong. My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend"s house just for ice cream and cake. Well, it turns out that I shouldn"t have believed it. It was only part
of the truth.
The following Saturday evening we were at my parents" home, celebrating my birthday. My oldest
son gave me the children"s gifts-a series of lovely color photographs of my children, dressed in their best
clothes, and wearing their most wonderful expressions. They are pictures to treasure a lifetime, all taken
by the father of my son"s girlfriend.
B. she believed he could take good care of the younger ones with the help of his girlfriend
C. the older children have always loved the younger ones
D. she could not find a baby-sitter on that winter night
B. her son had left home with his girlfriend
C. she shouldn"t have completely trusted her son
D. she should have taken the children along with her
B. received some gifts
C. had a birthday party
D. showed off their best clothes
overamorous farewells.
Commuters (通勤者,每日往返上班者) have been told: if you want to get up to that kind of
business, do it in the car park.
The sign has been put up at the dropoff point (落客处) at Warrington Bank Quay station in the
town of Warrington, between Liverpool and Manchester in northwest England.
A similar sign, this time permitting kissing, has been put up elsewhere in a zone where kissing is
considered tolerable.
"We have not banned kissing in the station," said a spokesman for operators Virgin Rail.
"But we have put the sign up at the dropoff point because it is not a very big area and it often gets
busy. The sign is a lighthearted way of reminding people to move on quickly. If people wish to spend
a little more time with their loved ones before they leave, then they should park in the shortstay car park
nearby."
The busy station links the town with the major cities London, Birmingham,Glasgow, Edinburgh,
Liverpool and Manchester.
However,one station is trying to rescue love from the tracks. High Wycombe,northwest of London,
is having none of it and is actively urging commuters to show their emotions in public.
"Kissing is welcome here!...we would never dream of banning kissing," says a poster of a cartoon
couple embracing, framed by a pink heart. "Railway stations are romantic places," insisted Kirsteen
Robertson from Chiltern Railways. "They are where fond farewells and emotional reunions take place,
where relationships start with a glance and even, in the case of our Marylebone station last November
where one passenger will propose (求婚) to another over the public address system."
"So our passengers are more than welcome to share a kiss in our stations."
B. get passengers to walk quickly
C. avoid embarrassment
D. prevent illegal practice
B. banning kissing in the station
C. farewell kisses between lovers
D. kissing in the car park
B. kissing is forbidden
C. kissing is intolerable
D. kissing is limited to a certain time
B. the dropoff point is a quiet place
C. the dropoff point is a romantic place
D. the dropoff point is often packed with the traffic and passengers
including her "sixth sense", that she rarely gives the impression she"s 2 anything.
Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us, 4 that she doesn"t push too hard on
them, 3 really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house. She moves
around so fast that often 5_don"t realize she"s blind.
I _6 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came
home, she was very 7 about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art
projects. But she was _8 excited about her finger-painting project.
"Mom, guess what?" said Kayla, all smiles. "I learned how to _9 colors today! Blue and red make
purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle 10 with us.
To my great 11 , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend!
Then Kayla continued, "Michelle told me my 12 showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment.
She really 13 what I was doing!" Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt 14
Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn"t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never _15 in conversation.
When I told her, she was 16_ for a moment. At first, she didn"t believe me. "But Mommy, Michelle
knew exactly what was in my picture!" Kayla 17 . And I knew my child was 18 because Michelle had
listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla"s 19 in her work,
We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, "You know, Mommy, Michelle really did "see"
my picture. She just used my 20."
Indeed, she uses a special type of "vision" that all mothers have.

The small room was filled with other families and friends who were eagerly waiting to hear how their
loved ones were doing.
There was a young boy sitting quietly in the 1 . He held a small box of 2 in one hand and tablet [写字板] in the other. So often he would place the tablet on his lap and draw something. As the hour
passed I began to see the room almost 3 . And there was a strange silence.
"Daddy, when is Mommy going home?" the young boy asked, breaking the silence .
"Tomorrow," his father replied. The boy picked up his crayons [蜡笔] and 4 some-thing on the
tablet.
I 5 him as he moved his feet back and forth, looking up at the ceiling and then toward the
sunshine-filled window. "When is tomorrow , Daddy?" he asked. His father 6 him over to sit by him.
"Come, 7 here next to me," he said with a gentle tone in his voice.
8 his things, the little boy walked slowly to his father"s side from the corner.
The man 9 out and held his son by the shoulders.
"There are three days in life. Yesterday, today and tomorrow. One is over and done, one that we
live in, the other we expect. We can"t live in yesterday, but if we are happy enough today, we will be
even happier tomorrow," he said in an attempt to 10 the boy.
The little boy looked at him for a moment and said, "If Mommy is going home tomorrow, I"ll be
happier. So, I want it to be tomorrow already, Daddy."
Now listening to every word of this 11 carefully, I leaned forward to hear his response. It was

"Son, the one great thing about today is once it 13 , it is already almost tomorrow."
I thought about how 14 it was. Even in my adult life, I still live waiting for what tomorrow may 15 .

support the Red Cross"s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines (地雷). Within hours of
arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims
injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," she said. "But putting a face to those
figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13- year-old girl who had lost her leg,
and people like her."
The Princess concluded with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And she used every
opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.
But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which
refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the
press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon (乱放炮的人)."
The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: "This is a distraction we do not need. All I"m
trying to do is help."
Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To
make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess"s trip had been approved by
the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the
British government"s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the
government.
To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed that the Princess"s
views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was "working towards" a
worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation or
misunderstanding."
For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to
show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience
had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.
B. to clarify the British government"s stand on landmines
C. to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims there
D. to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims
home to me" (Line 5, Paragraph 1)?
B. The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home.
C. Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics.
D. Seeing the pain of the victims made her realize the seriousness of the situation.
B. they were actually opposed to banning landmines
C. she had not consulted the government before the visit
D. they believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola
B. She made more appearances on TV.
C. She met the 13-year-old girl as planned.
D. She rose to argue with her opponents.
B. It had brought her closer to the ordinary people.
C. It had greatly promoted her popularity.
D. It had affected her relations with the British government.
