One spring，when 1 was 1 0，during one of my father’s layoffs，I could tell my mother was
unhappy．I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother’s Day gift．
One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins，which，I learned years later，was
known for its high-end fashions and style．I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins，telling her I
was looking for a Mother’s Day present．
“Do you think she’d like a purse ?”she asked．“I think she might．”I told her．
She took out an Italian purse made of leather．She asked me what I thought，and I told
her that my mom would like it．
“How much money do you have?’’she asked．
“Twelve dollars，”I said．
“You’re in luck，”she told me．“It’s only $11．You have a dollar left over for the card．”
She wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business，and I rode off home with the package
under my arm．
When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning，she asked in an accusing tone，“Where did you get this?，，
“I bought it at the Agins．It cost me $1 1．’’I said．
My mother was shocked into silence．
It wasn’t until many years 1ater，when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred
dollars，that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me．I always felt
regretful that I never had a chance to properly thank her．
“You know，my son，what really amazes me to this day，”my mother said．“Letting you
have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough．But the fact that she let you
leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I will never forget．”

Writing about poetry is very similar to writing about a story or research you have conducted.
The first thing you have to do to write an essay about a poem is to read the poem very
carefully and read it more than once．
Each poem says something，so try to figure out what the poem is saying to you .What ’s
the theme of the poem ?What’s the attitude of the speaker of the poem ?How does the poem
use words and sounds to communicate its message ?When you answer these questions，it can
help you come up with a thesis(论题)for your essay.
It’s necessary to have a thesis statement written before you start writing your essay， especially when you’re writing about a poem． Your thesis should make an
argument about the
poem you're dealing with． You might want to argue that the poem is presenting a specific
message，or that the words in the poem work together to create a certain tone. You may even
want to argue that the poet wrote this particular poem because of a specific moment in history
or a specific event in his or her life．The possibilities are infinite . As long as you can use
evidence from the poem and from your research about the poem or poet ,your thesis is correct．
Before you even start writing， read the poem again once you have your thesis. At this
point，you’ll be able to read the poem with new eyes since you know what you’ll be writing
about． Go through the poem with a fine-toothed comb and pick out everything that supports
your thesis．When you find quotes you want to use，write them down in an outline of the main
points of your essay．This will help keep you organized．When you write a quote down, be
sure to cite(引用)it correctly．Depending on the text of your essay, you may or may not
want to include the poet’s name in your quote． Once you have everything ready to go，you are
all set to write your essay．
60．The passage mainly talks about________
A．the function of poems B．how to look for quotes
C．how to write about poetry D．the benefit of writing about poetry 61．By asking a series of questions in Paragraph 2，the writer wants to tell us the way of________
A．writing an essay B．understanding a poem
C．understanding key words D．collecting enough evidence
62．The underlined word “infinite”in Paragraph 3， is closest in meaning to“_______”
A．unnecessary B．unclear C．meaningless D．endless
63．According to the writer，what should you do once you have your thesis?
A．Read the poem again and try to find important quotes·
B．Write about the poem immediately without referring to it again．
C．Put aside the poem and search the Internet for supporting evidence·
D．Cite quotes from the poem including the poet’s name and page numbers·

Alexis Vaughan，17，sat tiredly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car．The early Saturday morning run with her father，Michael，was part of the punishment．She stared sadly out
of the window at the cornfields．
An experienced hunter，Alexis let her eyes lazily search for wildlife．She was shocked
when a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them．Mule deer never appeared in
plain sight ten days before hunting season．It was a buck—a male deer with sharp，three-
pronged antlers（三齿鹿角）．
Suddenly Alexis heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head．She realized
the buck was attacking a woman．Sue Panter had been out for her morning run．The deer had
appeared from the tall corn and begun following her．Having lived in the countryside of Idaho
for years，Sue knew that most deer got frightened by humans．But this deer moved closer，even when she threw a handful of small stones at it．
“I knew I was in trouble，”she says．
The buck rushed forward，lifted her up with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue
could feel the antlers make small holes in her leg and blood ran down her leg.
When the Vaughans pulled up，the buck was throwing Sue like a rag doll. Before her
father had stopped the car，Alexis rushed out of the car and down the slope（斜坡）toward the
buck．“1 was kicking and hitting it hard with my fists to get its attention so that it will leave
the woman，”she says．However，the animal was not frightened at all．Then Michael pushed
the buck away from the woman by the antlers．
Alexis helped Sue up the slope and into the Vaughans’car．Then she tied a tourniquet
（止血带）to Sue's right leg．Her neck was cut．Then she heard her father shout loudly. Michael had been knocked to the ground，his right leg seriously cut by the buck. Alexis took a
hammer from the car and ran to where Michael lay on his back in the dirt．She beat the buck’s
head and neck，but the blows didn’t frighten it away．“I was losing faith,”she says.
“A couple more strikes，Alexis，”said Michael．“You can do it．”Alexis closed her eyes
and hit with all her strength at the deer’s neck with the hammer. When she opened her eyes,
the deer was running away．
A1exis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the hospital in Franklin，hearing her dad’s
breathing grow difficult and unsmooth as the blood from his wounded leg had flowed through
the T—shirt he'd wrapped around it．In the backseat，Sue looked unconscious.
After doctors treated Sue and Michael，Sue tearfully thanked her rescuers．“ You expect a
teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help in such a situation, not to beat up a deer
she says．
67．What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A．The story happened during hunting season.
B．It is unusual to see mule deer at this time of year．
C．The beautiful sight outside the car made Alexis excited．
D．Alexis enjoys running with her father on Saturday morning.

Washington D. C. is the capital of the United States. It’s the center of national government. It’s a busy, working city with a large populat ion. But what is more, Washington is also a city of history and culture.
Washington was created in 1790 when Congress ( the highest law-making body of the U. S. A. ) decided to place the nation’s new capital in the east of the country.

There are many tourist sights in Washington. Perhaps the most important tourist sight is the Capital Building. This house is the Congress.
Another world-famous building in Washington is the White House. This is the home and office of the President of the United States. Most visitors are, however, surprised by how small the White House actually is.
