Remembering My GrandparentsWhen memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty -- a

Remembering My Grandparents

When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty -- a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped On his nose.The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humor nor his love of a joke. Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give orders, but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions.One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said, "Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that." Then he drove away with his horses.The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the horses to get their drink."How many bags of potatoes were there？" Gramp inquired."I don't know."

"How many potatoes did you pick up？"

"I didn't pick any."

"Not any! Why not？"

"You said I could pick them up if I wanted to. You didn't say I had to."

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget, when Gramp said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.My grandmother ("Gram") worked hard all day, washing clothes, cleaning the house, making butter, and even working in the field when help was scarce. In the evening, though, she was not too tired to read books from the community library. For more than forty years Gram read aloud to Gramp almost every evening. In this way she and Gramp learned about all the great battles of history and became familiar with the works of great authors and the lives of famous men.Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own day.She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure. The birds, the flowers, the clouds -- all that was beautiful around her -- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who used to gather grass and show it to his son, saying, "See how beautiful this is!"

In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents, manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.

1.We know that Grandpa's nose ____

A、was flattened because it had been stepped on

B、was not flat when he was a boy

C、was both straight and broad

D、was straight but its tip was a bit flat

2.We learn from the passage that Grandpa ____

A、loved to give orders

A、he had to do it

B、he could do it if he wanted to

C、he could do it anytime he was ready

D、he did not really have to do so

4.The writer describes his Grandma as ____

A、someone who could find beauty in life

B、a very obedient housewife

C、a woman who complained about the injustices of life

D、a woman who loved Millet's paintings

5.According to the passage, in the days of the writer's grandparents ____

A、it was difficult for people to keep the "soft qualities" of mind and character

B、most people understood how to appreciate the beautiful things in life

C、it was the "soft virtues" that were thought to be very important

D、only ordinary people managed to appreciate the beauty of nature

When I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 2008, I shared

When I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 2008, I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often spoke at the same time in the other’s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we saw around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his fridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn’t need to do that. He said that it was Jim’s own fault and that it served him right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still had his American sense of values.

Two years later, I returned to China. The three of us still keep in touch. Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that he can now enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in China. And I’m helping him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Overseas Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the overseas students Chinese. I have sent the message to Steve. I’m sure he’d be very happy to accept the job. However, I hope he could try harder to improve himself. Otherwise, all the overseas students would speak with his terrible pronunciation!

(1) Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？（）

A、Steve and Jim were more alike in character.

B、The author didn’t enjoy talking with Steve.

C、The three of them were all language majors.

D、Their living condition was rather poor.

(2) Which of the following is TRUE about Jim？（）

A、He has a French way of making friends.

B、Going out with girls cost him a lot of time.

C、He learned French in order to date Paris girls.

D、He liked doing housework.

(3) What is the author’s opinion of Steve？（）

A、Steve was a very hardworking fellow.

B、Steve enjoyed cooking Chinese food.

C、Steve enjoyed shopping more than Jim.

D、Steve’s Chinese accent was quite pure.

(4) What does the last sentence of the first paragraph imply？（）

A、Steve didn’t like offering help to others.

B、American people only eat their own food.

C、Steve wanted Jim to do his own shopping.

D、Americans and Chinese differ in their sense of values.

(5) What can be learned from the last paragraph？（）

A、Jim is a very good husband.

B、Steve enjoys teaching Chinese.

C、The author works for overseas students.

D、The three friends still keep in touch.

Part I Reading ComprehensionI have learned something about myself since I moved from Lon

Part I Reading Comprehension

I have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.

I’m like a migratory bird that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.

So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds？ The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display o￡ colors — first in the fall trees, and then in the limits around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.

I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors’ children excitedly open gifts on Christmas？ Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)

While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home？

(1) What does the underlined word "snowbird" in Paragraph 1 refer to？()

A、A person spending winter in a warmer climate

B、A bird seen chiefly in winter

C、A person permanently living in a foreign country

D、A bird flying to the south in winter

(2)What’s the difference between Florida and Long Island？()

A、Winters in Long Island are milder

B、The snowbirds in Long Island are rarer

C、Weather in Long Island is severer

D、Long Island is nearer to the ocean

(3)What did the author miss most when he was in Florida？()

A、The colorful light display

B、The family gathering

C、The cold temperature

D、The winter landscape

(4) Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？()

A、The author enjoyed living in Florida

B、The author had a good time in Florida

C、The author owned a home in Florida

D、The author did not like mild weather

(5)What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text？()

A、To praise the beauty and warmth of his hometown

B、To describe his dream to be a free bird

C、To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown

D、To express his feeling of missing his hometown
