Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry（丰田凯美瑞）and used her daughter's key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn't find a record of it, they took a theft report.The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, "It sounded real suspicious at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom（赎金）,” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed "because of mistaken car identity", Anderson wasn't charged.Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief". "Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition（点火装置）as well - so high-five for Toyota. I guess." he said.21. What does the underlined word "towed" mean in paragraph 3?A. removed.B. damaged.C. stolen.D. sold.22. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mrs. Anderson's daughter discovered the car her mother drove was not hers.B. Mrs. Anderson stole Charlie's car at the request of her daughter.C. Charlie had thought he had to give Anderson money to get his car back.D. Mrs. Anderson used her daughter's key to unlock Charlie's car and drive home.23. What does Charlie mean by "high-five for Toyota"?A. He is blaming Toyota for the poor quality of car keys.B. He should thank Toyota for returning his car.C. He wants to celebrate with Toyota for getting his car back.D. He thinks highly of Toyota for producing large quantities of cars.24. What is likely to happen next according to the passage?A. Mrs. Anderson was charged with stealing a car.B. Charlie blamed Mrs. Anderson for mistakenly taking his car.C. Charlie would ask the Toyota Company to give him an explanation.D. The Toyota Company would give Charlie a new car as compensation.BEvery week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee(拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants childr en to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.25. What can we learn about the Character Hero?A. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.B. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D. It draws great public attention across the country.26. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D. Chinese people nee dn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.27. According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is_________.A. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveD. an ability to be developed only when you are students28. Where does this text probably come from?A. A news report.B. A science report.C. An advertisement.D. Children’s literature.CShould I heat the water on the stove or in the electric kettle? Do I start the washing machine in the afternoon or after 10 at night? How do I lower CO2 emissions（排放）by the way I use energy?Answers to such and similar questions are provided by the online game -RED"-which is the short form for -Renewable Energy Drama." Researchers from IDMT in Erfurt, Germany, have developed the Web application. The experts see great potential in online games for teaching the subject of "Saving electricity at home" in an entertaining manner and to show that one's own behavior can affect how much electricity costs.The software is aimed at adults and young people interested in renewable energies who want to know how they can save energy. "How much energy do individual household appliances consume. Which ones are the 'energy robbers' and are the high bills the results of price increases-RED supplies the answers. The user does not even have to spend a great deal of time for the game takes only about ten to 15 minutes," says a researcher.RED leads you through the daily life of an imaginary family of three. The screen shows all the rooms in a house. The user goes into each room and is able, via mouse click, to do the regular housework such as cooking food or doing laundry.In a second module, the online game informs the-users how they can save electricity by using "Smart Meters." Taking the time of day into account, they measure the exact actual usage of electricity. This is how the consumers can find out the potential for savings and start his dishwasher only at night --- when electricity is particularly cheap.The “ Saving electricity at home " module will go online soon and so will the second RED module; “ Saving electricity with Smart Meters." The online game can be played at www.residens - project and is free of charge.29. What do we know about RED?A. It is a free online gameB. It is designed for studentsC. It has already gone onlineD. It takes as long as ten minutes30. What does the underlined word "they"(paragraph 5) most probably refer to?A. UsersB. ConsumersC. ResearchersD. Meters31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Save money at homeB. Tips for lowering CO2 emissionsC. Saving electricity while playingD. Tips for saving energyDWe all know that eating junk food can make us fat. However, a new study suggests that it can do more than that--- it can also make us lazy, reported CBS NewsIn the study, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, US divided 32 female rats into two groups. The first group was fed a diet of healthy food such as corn and fish, while the second was given a diet of highly processed food rich in sugar, namely "junk food".Within three months, the rats in the second group were already much fatter than those on the healthy diet. And when researchers trained the rats to do simple tasks, they found even more differences between the two groups other than weight.During the task-pushing a lever (杠杆)to receive a reward of sugar water-the rats on the junk food diet were found to be less willing to move, and they took longer breaks between each push than the lean(瘦的)rats did."It is as if the rats are thinking 'This is too much work'”, Aaron Bla isdell , the leader of the study told the Los Angeles Times.But what about the possibility that the fat rats were less passionate (热爱的) about getting sugar water because they were already eating lots of sugar in their daily diet? That's why researchers repeated the tests by rewarding fat rats with plain water when they were extremely thirsty. However, the results came out just the same.According to researchers, these differences suggest that junk food changed the chemistry in the rats' brains.The experiment didn't end there. After six months, the rats' diets were switched, and the overweight rats were given a healthy diet for nine days. However, this change didn't help reduce their weight or improve their ability to perform tasks, which means the effects of their junk food diet persisted(持续存在), "There's no quick fix’', said Blaisdell.For a long time, we’ve believed that people become fat because they are lazy. But this study has proven the opposite to be true, as well, which indicates that laziness and obesity are a "vicious cycle" (恶性循环).So, if you constantly feel tired, lacking any urge to get up from your chair, it could be that you've been studying too hard. But you should also pay attention to your diet.32. During the first three months of the experiment by researchers at the University of California, ______.A. rats from the healthy diet group ate nothing but corn and fish.B. rats on the junk food diet ate more than those on healthy dietC. rats on the healthy food diet performed better at simple tasks than those on the junk food dietD. rats on the junk food diet seemed uninterested in sugary food.33. The researchers rewarded thirsty rats with plain water in the lever test to ________.A. help them control their weightB. test whether fat rats lost interest in the test because they had taken enough sugarC. change the diet habits of fat ratsD. find out the influence of sugar on rats' brains34. The underlined word "there" refers to ________.A. after the rats on the junk food diet had worked hard to get sugar waterB. after the type of food rats prefer had been identifiedC. after a quick cure for obesity had been foundD. after the fact that fatter rats are lazier than lean rats had been found35. We can conclude from the article that _______.A. fat people are usually lazier than lean peopleB. people should switch between different types of diets to keep healthyC. being overweight and being lazy can feed into each otherD. laziness is the main cause of weight problemsCloze TestThe world always makes way for the dreamerWhen I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler 36 everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling. I 37 there feeling like I could do anything.

However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom.So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.1. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath housesbecause .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease2.Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. Afraid.B. Curious.C. Approving.D. Uninterested.3. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To present the change of views on dirt.【参考答案】1—4、CA CD短文改错In 1972, the United Nations hold a meeting inSweden 1__________to share ideas about ways to take better care of forthe 2__________earth．At the summit, people from more than one hundreds 3__________ countries discussed some of the important problems faced 4__________ our planet．Since then, several Earth Summits had been held. 5__________ In 2002, the Earth Summit was held inJohannesburg. 6__________One of the mai n theme was “sustainable development”,or 7__________the question what we can continue developing theworld 8__________without damage the environment．Most of the speakers 9__________ talked the three biggest killers in theworld. 10__________【参考答案】5.1.hold—held2. 去掉for3. hundreds---hundred4. faced---facing5.had ----have6. 正确7.theme----themes 8. what---how9. damage---damaging 10. talk后加 about此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

青岛市2015高考英语一轮阅读理解选练(7)
青岛市2015高考英语阅读理解选练（7）及答案（一轮）【福建省漳州市2014高考英语第三次联考试题】Anyone who doubts if children are born with a healthy amount of ambition need spend only a few minutes with a baby eagerly learning to walk. No matter how many times the little ones stumble in their first efforts, most keep on trying, determined to master their amazing new skill. It is only several years later, many psychologists and teachers agree, that a good number of kids seem to lose their natural drive to succeed. For the parents of such kids, whose own ambition is often tied to their children's success, it can be a painful experience.Figuring out why the fire went out is the first step. Assuming that a kid doesn't suffer from a learning disability, or isn't involved in some family crisis(危机) at home, many educators attribute a sudden lack of motivation to a fear of failure or classmate pressure.“Everything is within the kids' control；their intelligence is changeable,”says Lisa Blackwell,a research scientist at Columbia University. More than any teacher or workshop, Blackwell says,“Parents can play a key role in conveying this message to their children by praising their effort and progress rather than emphasizing their “smartness” or praising high performance alone. Most of all, parents should let their kids know that mistakes are a part of learning.”Some experts say our education system, with its strong emphasis on testing and separation of students into different levels of ability, also bears blame for the disappearance of drive in some kids.“These programs shut down the motivation of all kids who aren't considered gifted and talented. They destroy their confidence,”says Jeff Howard, a social psychologist. Howard and other educators say it's important to expose kids to a world beyond homework and tests, through volunteer work, sports, hobbies and other extracurricular activities.“The problem of the issue is that many students experience education as irrelevant to their life goals and ambition,”says Michae l Nakkual, a Harvard education professor.

I mean, he had a head, two arms and two legs, just like the rest of us. About nine o’clock on Saturday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers, one of the older boys, what it was that made this Elvis guy so special. He told me that it was Elvis’ wavy hair and the way he moved his body.About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage（孤儿院）were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville, Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a hair cut.That is when I got this big idea, which hit me like a ton of bricks.If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret, then that’s what I was going to get.All the way to town I told everybody, including the matron（女管家）from the orphanage who was taking us to town, that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him.When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Buster Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.We finally arrived at the big barber shop, where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans（孤儿). I looked at the barber and said, “I want an Elvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis?” I asked him, with a big smile on my face. “Let’s just see what we can do for you, little man,” he said. I was so happy when he started to cut my hair. Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing. She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head, like he was telling h er “No”. Then he told me they were not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts.

Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school year. Then,summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at acommunity（社区）college. This class at the community college saved me $650. It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus（校园）admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out. The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous summer. I wanted to go to Israel to studyfor 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that Ilearned was the importance of a strong work ethic (伦理). Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of adollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.56. Where did the writer probably work part-time before attending the university?A. In a restaurant.B. In the tennis camps.C. In a company.D. In the admissions office.57. The writer took a class at a community college mainly because_____.A. she wanted to save moneyB. life there was relatively easyC. summer time was tiringD. it was required by the university58. The writer’s major concern about the trip to Israel was that_____.A. her mother would not give her approvalB. she would fail to get credits in IsraelC. a well-paid summer job would be lostD. $1,600 couldn’t be drawn out in time59. The passage is mainly about how the writer _____.A. made money on the college campusB. managed to make full use of her vacationC. was forced to support herself by her motherD. was shaped by working part-time through college【参考答案】25.AACD阅读理解(一)----BYou know how wonderful you are，and you know thatothers know how wonderful you are，but what do you dowhen admiration crosses over the line into jealousy？For most teens there will come a day when you realizethat one of your friends is jealous and that thisjealousy is hurting your friendship.When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do，but the good news is that there is.Don't let jealousy spoil your relationships.Tackle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is，but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that.Don't approachthem and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited)，just take some time alone with them and let them know that you've been feeling like there's been something coming between you.If they refuse to respond，then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend，ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better.If，for example，(s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you.Remember，though，that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise.Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy.Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies.Before taking extreme action，chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can't，be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.【语篇解读】本文是关于人际关系的话题。

青岛市2015高考英语阅读理解选练（9）及答案（一轮）【山东省济南市2014高考英语一模试题】From a small warehouse in North Salt Lake City, Utah, a little-known company called Go Natural CNG is about to release a new home refueling system after more than two years of research.The system, backed by technology giant Parker Hannifin Corp, will fill up quicker than some models—about one gallon an hour—and last up to 20 years, according to Go Natural CNG Chief Executive Lucas Kjar. The unit, expected by the end of the year, will use hydraulic technology to compress (压缩) the gas for vehicle use, he said. He did not say how much the unit would cost.But Go Natural may have a lot of competition. General Electric, Whirlpool and Eaton are all working on home refueling technologies expected to be launched in the next couple of years.General Electric, which received $1.8 million from the government to develop its system, aims to release a unit that will cool natural gas to minus 50 degrees Celsius to extract (提取) water and other contaminates before refueling. GE aims to sell the unit at $500, about a tenth of the cost of current models.General Electric said it was in the development phase and declined to comment on the program’s progress.Honda, which makes the natural gas-fired Honda Civic GX, has contacted GE and Whirlpool to discuss their plans, according to Elmer Hardy, Honda’s senior manager of alternative fuel vehicles.Eaton, which received $3.4 million from the government to develop the technology, is working on a unit at its labs in Southfield, Michigan, that would use liquids to compress the gas instead of the traditional metal pistons(活塞). It aims to make a unit available for $500 by 2015.“We are seeing if we can do it in a way that reduces the price point,” said Clark Fortune, who leads the program at Eaton. “The adoption will improve if the costs come down.”46. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To encourage car owners to use natural gas.B. To advertise some technology companies.C. To introduce a new home refueling system.D. To present some ways of saving energy.47. Which company may be the first to release the new refueling system?A. EatonB. General ElectricC. WhirlpoolD. Go Natural48.Which of the following is true of the system to be launched by Go Natural?A.It can be bought at $5oo now.B. It has got into market this year.C. It can be used for twenty years.D. It is financed by Honda.49. What is the government’s attitude to the new home refueling system?A. DoubtfulB. CautiousC. NegativeD. Supportive50. What may prevent the system from being widely accepted according to Clark Fortune?A. Its refueling speed.B. Its present price.C. Its compressing technique.D. Its appearance.【参考答案】46—50 CDCDB较难题目特训：科普知识类Which are you more likely to have with you at any given moment—your cellphone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6, 800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U. S. , but we’re likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something callednear field communication(NFC) gets into America’s consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal—a contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U. S. , a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction (交易) fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale(POS) market. Three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture (合资企业) that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is “to lead the U. S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones.”The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. For instance, what’s to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “We’re still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone,” says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. “Users may also be able to set transactio n limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isn’t.1. What is predicted to happen in the U. S. ?A. The expansion of cellphone companies.B. The boom of pay-by-phone business.C. The disappearance of credit cards.D. The increase of Starbucks sales.2. The NFC technology can be used to .A. ensure the safety of shoppersB. collect transaction fees easilyC. make purchase faster and simplerD. improve the quality of cellphones3. Three cellphone service providers form a joint venture to .A. strengthen their relationshipB. get a share in the payments industryC. sell more cellphonesD. test the NFC technology4. According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phones?A. Stop the functioning of their phones.B. Set up a password.C. Get all the money out of their phones.D. Cancel large purchases.【参考答案】33.1-4 BCBA【山东省济南市2014高考英语一模试题】CEverybody loves to play board games sometimes, but it is surprising to know how long this pastime has been in existence. Some of the earliest board games are over 5,000 years old. The oldest is probably Senet, an American Egyptian game which has been found in burials from before 3000 BC. The game involves an element of luck, and so it was thought by the Ancient Egyptians that those who won the game were protected by God. For this reason, games of Senet were often buried alongside the dead body, to be used on the dangerous game board is set out as a grid of three by ten rows, and uses two sets of at least five pawns. The actual rules are unknown, although some historians have proposed rules which were used in the Senet sets available today.The Royal Game of Ur, also known as the Game of Twenty Squares, is another ancient game which dates back to the First Dynasty of Ur, in 2600 BC Mesopotamia. It was played with two sets of seven counters, one black and one white, and three four-sided dice (骰子). Although the ancient rules are unknown, a stone tablet has been found which describes a reliable record of how the game was played in 177-176 BC.Both Senet and The Royal Game of Ur probably came into existence long before the game backgammon (西洋双陆棋)，which itself has a long history. The game of Nard, which existed in Iran in around 3000 BC, used two sets of fifteen counters, four dice and same board as the one used in backgammon today, although the initial starting positions and rules are different. Similar games were played in Ancient Rome and India.51. The text is meant to introduce________.A. a common origin of board gamesB. the unknown rules of board gamesC. several kinds of earliest board gamesD. the newly discovered board games52. What do we know about the game of Senet IN paragraph 1?A. Its actual rules are still in use.B. It used to be played in tombs.C. It is probably the oldest board game.D. Its design isclosely related to God.53. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. A brief introduction to the Royal Game of Ur.B. A reliable account of the First Dynasty of Ur.C. The recent discovery of an ancient board game.D. The original rules found in a stone tablet.54. What can be inferred from the text?A. There were some similarities between the games.B. The earliest board game was found in Europe.C. All the games used the same number of dice.D. We haven’t got any record of the board games.55. What does the underlined word“itself ”in the last paragraph refer to?A. The game of Senet.B. The Royal Game of Ur.C. The game backgammon.D. The game of Nard.【参考答案】51—55 CCAAC较难题目特训：人物故事类I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was w ashed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up inher trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love.

Shay asked,“Do you think they’ll let me play?”Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team,but the father also understood that if his son,mentally and physically disabled,were allowed to play,it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play,not expecting muc h. The boy looked around and said,“We’re losing by six runs(分)and the game is in the eighth inning(局). I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning. “Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and put on a team shirt w ith a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.In the bottom of the eighth inning,Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning,Shay put on a glove and played in the field.Even though no hits came his way,he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning,Shay’s team scored again. Now,Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?Surprisingly,Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch(投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in,Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead,the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman,beyond the reach of all teammates. The audience and the players from both teams started screaming,“Shay,run tofirst!“ Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base,wide-eyed and shocked.Everyone shouted,“Run to second!“ Catching his breath,Shay awkwardly ran towards second. By the time Shay rounded towards second base,the smallest guy on their team,who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time,could have thrown the ball to the second baseman,but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.All were screaming,“Shay,Shay,Shay,all the way Shay. “ Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted,“Shay,run to third. “ As Shay rounded third,all were on their feet,crying,“Shay,run home!”Shay ran to home,stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team.That day,the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter,having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!1. Not expecting much,Shay’s father still asked the boy if Shay could play,mainly because the father .A. noticed some of the boys on the field were hesitatingB. guessed his presence would affect the bo ys’ decisionC. learned some of the boys on the field knew Shay wellD. understood Shay did need a feeling of being accepted2. In the bottom of the final inning Shay was given the bat because the boys .A. believed they were sure to win the gameB. would like to help Shay enjoy the gameC. found Shay was so eager to be a winnerD. felt forced to give Shay another chance3. The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head,probably because that boy .A. was obviously aware of the pitcher’s purposeB. looked forward to winning the game for his teamC. failed to throw the ball to the second basemanD. saw that Shay already reached second base4.
