     A young woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness (不治之症) and given three months to live. So as
she was getting her things "in order", she asked her pastor (牧师) to come to her house to discuss her final
wishes. With everything in order, the pastor was ready to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered
something very important to her.
     "What"s that?" asked the pastor.
     "I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."
     The pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing what to say.
     "That surprises you, doesn"t it?" the young woman asked.
     "Well, to be honest, I"m puzzled by the request," said the pastor.
     The young woman explained, "In all my years of going to church meetings and dinners, I remember that
when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would always lean over and say, "Keep your
fork." It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming, like chocolate cake or apple
pie,some dessert like that. Something wonderful! I just want people to see me there in that casket (棺材) with
a fork so that when they ask you why I have a fork, you can tell them: "Keep your fork-the best is yet to
come.""
     The pastor hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew that the young woman had a better grasp of
heaven than he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with
twice as much experience and knowledge.
     At the funeral people were walking by the young woman"s casket and they saw the pretty dress she was
wearing and the fork placed in her right hand. Over and over, the pastor heard the question "Why does she
have a fork?" And over and over again he smiled.
     So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it reminded you of this young woman gently. Send the
message to everyone you consider a friend even if it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you.
     And, keep your fork!!
1. In the author"s opinion, the woman in this passage is _____.
[     ]
A. bored
B. optimistic
C. pessimistic
D. crazy
2. When enjoying a Western dinner, in the later part you have to "Keep your fork." This usually mean "_____".
[     ]
A. Watch out for your fork.
B. I wish you good luck with the fork
C. Prepare your fork so that you can enjoy the dessert
D. You can not take away your fork
3. Which of the following is WRONG about the young woman?
[     ]
A. She is optimistic about life and diseases.
B. She loves sweet food.
C. She wants her friends to remember her forever.
D. She is a regular church-goer.
4. According to the passage, "Keep your fork", the message may mean "_____".

     Born in America, I spoke English, not Chinese, the language of my ancestors. When I was three, my parents

fishman. But he  11  my English words and turned to serve the next customer. The laugh of the people behind

to the language.

laugh is my heritage (传统) fading away.

     Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always
tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself
with insulin (胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death.
And if that weren"t bad enough, he had no health insurance.
     After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he"d better find a way to fight back. He left Canton,
Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created
diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones-a place where over 1,100
people share personal stories, information, and resources.
     Jason Swencki"s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online
children"s forums (论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says
Swencki, one of the site"s volunteers. "They know what he"s going through, so he doesn"t feel alone."
     Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with
24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
     These days, Thomas"s main focus is his charity (慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and
supplies to people-225 to date-who can"t afford a diabetic"s huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about
$23,000-in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the
Caribbean.
     Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still
doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding
a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar"s original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know
saying people need help now."
1. Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?
[     ]
A. He needs to go to the doctor every day.
B. He studies the leading cause of diabetes.
C. He has a positive attitude to this disease.
D. He encourages diabetics by writing articles.
2. Diabeitcrockstar.com was created for _____.
[     ]
A. diabetics to communicate
B. volunteers to find jobs
C. children to amuse themselves
D. rock stars to share resources.
3. According to the text, Kody _____.
[     ]
A. feel lonely because of his illness
B. benefits from diabeticrockstar.com
C. helps create the online kid"s forums
D. writes children"s stories online
4. What can we learn about Fight It? 
[     ]
A. It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.
B. It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.
C. It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.
D. It owns a well-known medical website.
5. The last paragraph suggests that Thomas _____.
[     ]
A. works full-time in a diabetes charity
B. employs 22 people for his website
C. helps diabetics in his own way
D. ties to find a cure for diabetes
