完形填空。     One summer day my father sent me to buy wire for our farm. At 16, I liked   1   better than driving our
truck,   2   this time I was not happy. My father had told me I"d have to ask for credit (赊账) at the store.

racial discrimination was   5   a fact of life. I"d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down,
while the store owner   6   whether they were "good for it." I knew black youths just like me who were   7   
like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery.
      My family was   8  . We paid our debts. But before harvest, cash was short. Would the store owner   9

      At Davis"s store, Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk, talking to a farmer. I nodded  10  I passed him
on my way to the hardware shelves. When I brought my  11  to the caskh desk, I said  12 , "I need to put this
on credit."
     The farmer gave me and amused, distrustful   13  . But Buck"s face didn"t change. "Sure," he said  14  .
"Your daddy is  15   good for it." He  16   to the other man. "This here is one of James Williams"s sons." The
farmer nodded in a neighborly  17 . I was filled with pride. James William"s son. Those three words had opened
a door to an adult"s respect and trust.
     That day I discovered that the good name my parents had  18   brought our whole family the respect of our
neighbors. Everyone knew what to  19  from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected

      Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis
Cricket-anything with a round ball, I was useless, "he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the
object of jokes in school gym classes in England"s rural Devonshire. 
     It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking
alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind
building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.
      The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat
across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway"s school of Adventure in Scotland,
where he learned about the older man"s cold-water exploits (成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about
Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
     Journeys to the Pole aren"t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his
dream as fantasy."John Ridgway was one of the few who didn"t say, "You are completely crazy," Saunders
says.
     In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North
Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter (遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.
     Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he"s skied more of the
Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.
      This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.
1. The turning point in Saunders" life came when  _____.
A. he started to play ball games

2. We can learn from the text that Ridgway _______.

     November not only marks the publication of Toni Morrison"s eagerly anticipated (期待) eighth novel,
Love, but it is also the tenth anniversary of her Nobel Prize for Literature. Morrison is the first black
woman to receive a Nobel, and so honored before her in literature are only two black men: Wole Soyinka,
the Nigerian playwright, poet and novelist, in 1986; and Derek Walcott, the Caribbean-born poet, in 1992.
But Morrison is also the first and only American-born Nobel prizewinner for literature since 1962, the year
novelist John steinbeck received the award.
     Like Song of Solomon, Love is a multigenerational story, revealing the personal and communal legacy
of an outstanding black family. As Morrison scholars will tell you, Love is the third volume of a literary
master"s trilogy (三部曲) investigating the many complexities of love. This trilogy began with Beloved
(1988), which deals with a black mother"s love under slavery and in freedom. Jazzy (1993), the second
volume, tells a story of romantic love in 1920s Harlem. This latest novel looks back from the 1970s to the
1940s and 50s.
     The emotional center of Love is Bill Cosey, the former owner and host of the shabby Cosey"s Hotel and
Resort in Silk, North Carolina, described in the novel as "the best and best-known vacation sport for colored
folk on the East Coast." We get to know Cosey through the memories of five women who survive and love
him: his granddaughter, his widow, two former employees, and a homeless young girl.
     The latest novel, Love, had been described in the promotional material from her publisher as "Morrison"s
most accessible work since Song of Solomon." This comparison to her third novel, published in 1977, was
an effective selling point.
1. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Toni Morrison"s latest novels
B. Toni Morrison and her trilogy
C. Toni Morrison and her novel Love
D. Toni Morrison, the Nobel prizewinner
2. What can we learn about John Steinbeck?
A. He was a black writer.
B. He was born in America.
C. He received the Nobel Prize after Morrison
D. He was the first American novelist to win a Nobel
3. The similarity between Love and Song of Solomon is that they both _____.
A. belong to the same trilogy together with Beloved
B. concern families of more than one generation
C. deal with life of blacks under slavery
D. investigate life in 1920s Harlem
4. The novel Love mainly describes ______.
A. the best-known vacation spot for blacks
B. the life of an outstanding black family under slavery
C. the miserable experience of the five women in Harlem
D. the memories of five women about Bill Cosey

     When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess (公主) in the school play. For weeks
my mother had helped me practice my lines. But once onstage, every word disappeared from my head.
Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator"s (解说者的) part for the play, and asked me to change
roles. Though I didn"t tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked
if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.
     It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英) popping through the grass in bunches, as
if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one
of the bunches."I think I am going to dig up all these weeds," she said."From now on, we"ll have only roses
in this garden." 
     "But I like dandelions," I protested. " All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions!"
     My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn"t it?" she
asked thoughtfully. I nodded. " And that is true of people, too,"she added.
     When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth.   
     "But you will be a beautiful narrator," she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud
to her.
     Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big
day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. "Your mother asked me to give
this to you," she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was
perhapes the only person who would keep such a weed.

2. Why did the mother suggest a walk in the garden?

B. To enjoy the garden scene
