"It was a night jump, and we were jumping low," he recalls. "We were training. Somebody got too close
to my parachute (降落伞)."The parachute below blocked Reed"s air and his parachute failed to open.
Reed crashed a hundred feet to the ground, breaking his back in five places.
The next morning, Reed could not move. "Doctors said it was likely that I would never walk again."
Reed stared out of his hospital window, wondering what the future would be like. It was the saddest
moment of his life. "The experts are telling me my body doesn"t work! What am I supposed to do?" he
thought.
To distract (转移注意力) himself, he picked up a book: Robert Heinlein"s Starship Troopers. The
science-fiction describes a set of man-made muscles that would allow people to carry 2,000 pounds. He
thought that if he could build something like that, it might be able to lift him out of his wheelchair. So he
began his project and finally succeeded in building a set of robot legs. Several years later, he made an
amazing recovery and was able to get up and walk away from his wheelchair. He even jumped out of an
airplane again to celebrate.
Reed wanted to do something for others with the second chance that life had given him. He has now
perfected the robot legs that can get the injured, the elderly and the paralyzed (瘫痪的) out of their
wheelchairs. Now he has started his own company to make the legs. "I"ve seen them compete in
marathons and go swimming and mountain climbing," he said. "So never give up!"
B. discover how to make man-made muscles
C. learn how to jump out of an airplane
D. stop himself from thinking about his pain
B. He is fond of reading science fiction.
C. He spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
D. He didn"t believe what the doctors said.
B. return to the Army Rangers and continue with his jumps.
C. compete in games and marathons and go swimming.
D. help more patients in wheelchairs to recover.

somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to contact
the AA Company. Low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind
blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time I crossed one of the side streets. It had
rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was
wearing a thick coat.
There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom I could ask. I had
thought I might find a shop open selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds, but the town
was completely dead. The only living thing I saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant.
Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from
sight in a dark narrow street. Next to it was the town" s only public call box, which badly needed a coat
of paint. I hurried forward, but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was
a man inside. He was fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat. I could not see his face and he
did not even raise his head at the sound of my footsteps.
Carefully, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait for my turn. It was when I
threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box
door.
B. A cold winter afternoon.
C. An early summer morning.
D. A windy summer afternoon.
A. Cold and frightening.
B. Dirty and crowded.
C. Empty and dead.
D. Unusual and unpleasant.
B. shining brightly
C. flowing slowly in drops
D. appearing slowly
B. He was angry at being disturbed by the writer.
C. He was probably fast asleep.
D. He was probably murdered.
from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an
elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced
ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So
as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,
"My I get you something?"
"A coffee would be nice."
Then I bought him a cup of coffee, we talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I
rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,
"How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?"
"Who?"
"The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs."
I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the
world"s richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with
respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.
B. Kind.
C. Elegant.
D. Untidy.
B. he thought the old man was poor
C. he intended to show his politeness
D. he would like to thank the old man
B. Pitiful.
C. Proud.
D. Regretful.
B. It is honorable to help those in need.
C. We should avoid judging people by their appearances.
D. People in high positions are not like what we expect.
of : a warm bottle, songs gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead
of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as
any to kill of the hours till dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down,
his little eyes focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoes out of the
room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi"s forty-fifth birthday.
My wife and I heard none of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room, I
found him still watching TV himself.
I found in my baby"s behavior a symbol of the new generation. My wife and I had given him some
books to examine, but he merely spit upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And
so it is in the schools. We find that our students don"t read and they look down upon reading and scold
those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however,
I have reached a conclusion: "Let them watch it!" If television is that much more attractive to children than
books, why should we fight about it? Let them watch it all they want!
B. To spend the night by watching TV programs.
C. In order not to let his son feel lonely.
D. To make his son go to sleep as soon as possible.
B. encouraging
C. exciting
D. nervous
B. a reporter
C. an editor

C. They would rather watch TV than read books.
D. They like their teachers who teach them reading
