there for nearly two hours. The phone of the "Nightline" rang yet again and Morrie asked his helper, Connie,
to get it. She had been taking down the callers" names in Morrie"s small black appointment book. It was clear
I was not the only one interested in visiting my old professor-the "Nightline" appearance had made him
something of a big figure-but I was impressed with, perhaps even a bit envious of, all the friends that Morrie
seemed to have.
"You know, Mitch, now that I"m dying, I"ve become much more interesting to people. I"m on the last great
journey here-and people want me to tell them what to pack."
The phone rang again. "Morrie, can you talk?" Connie asked.
"I"m visiting with my old friend now," he announced, "Let them call back."
I cannot tell you why he received me so warmly. I was hardly the promising student who had left him
sixteen years earlier. Had it not been for "Nightline", Morrie might have died without ever seeing me again.
What happened to me? The eighties happened. The nineties happened. Death and sickness and getting fat
and going bald happened. I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and I never even realized I was doing
it. Yet here was Morrie talking with the wonder of our college years, as if I"d simply been on a long vacation.
"Have you found someone to share your heart with?" he asked. "Are you at peace with yourself?" "Are you
trying to be as human as you can be?"
I felt ashamed, wanting to show I had been trying hard to work out such questions. What happened to me?
I once promised myself I would never work for money, that I would join the Peace Corps, and that I would
live in beautiful, inspirational places.
Instead, I had been in Detroit for ten years, at the same workplace, using the same bank, visiting the same
barber. I was thirty-seven, more mature than in college, tied to computers and modems and cell phones. I was
no longer young, nor did I walk around in gray sweatshirts with unlit cigarettes in my mouth. I did not have
long discussions over egg salad sandwiches about the meaning of life.
My days were full, yet I remained, much of the time, unsatisfied. What happened to me?
B. In the nineties.
C. When he was 16.
D. When he was 21.
B. It helped Morrie earn a fame.
C. The author helped Morrie start it.
D. It was only operated at night.
B. Morrie liked helping people pack things for their journeys.
C. The author envied Morrie"s friends the help they got from him.
D. The author earned a lot of money at the cost of his dreams.
B. Enthusiastic.
C. Sympathetic.
D. Humorous.

The score was 20 to 17 in her 2 . I won the next three points which made the score 20 to 20. I 3 my
paddle on the table and thanked my opponent and began to walk away. She called me 4 and said we had
to continue until one of us 5 .
"Look," I said, "if we 6 , one of two events will take place, either you or I will win. If you win, I will
begin to 7 my skill. If I win, you will be unhappy. Isn"t it better to know that we both played 8 , that we
enjoyed the competition, and that we played an even (相等) score?" This was a 9 ending for my opponent
and for the persons watching this contest. It made 10 to me to leave with a tie (不分胜负) game, an impasse
(僵局): no winner, no 11 .
So, my friends, here is the problem 12 me. Our present technology makes it possible for nations to 13
other nations for retaliatory (报复) strikes. In such a nuclear time, there 14 be no winners, only losers. Under
these conditions, the only choice to 15 global destruction is global impasse. This would be a 16 "tie game"
where no nation wins and no nation loses. An impasse reached through compromise (妥协). This is because
compromise becomes the only means of 17 . We cannot destroy this beautiful planet by holding on to 18
understanding of victory. The 19 victory is in achieving a desirable impasse. No one wins, 20 no one loses
either.

| In 1909 an English newspaper offered ￡1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel in an aeroplane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colourful. One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well known as a pilot because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, "He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in an accident!" But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aeroplane design. The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to live. "Oh, well," he said, "if I" m going to die soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now." Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten kilometres from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer"s field. When he did so, a customs (海关) officer rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not. "Have you anything to declare (报关)?" The officer demanded. | |||||||||||||||
