President Abraham Lincoln often visited hospitals to talk with wounded soldiers during the Civil War.Once,Lincoln went over to the bedside of a young dying soldier.
“Is there anything I can do for you?”asked the President. The soldier obviously didn't recognize Lincoln, and with some effort he was able to whisper, “Would you please write a letter to my mother?”
So the President carefully began writing down the soldier's words,“My dearest mother, I was badly hurt while doing my duty. I'm afraid I'm not going to recover. Don't grieve too much for me, please. Kiss my sister Mary for me.May God bless you and Father.”
The soldier was too weak to continue, so Lincoln signed the letter for him and added, “Written for your son by Abraham Lincoln.”The young man asked to see the note and was astonished when he discovered who had written it.“Are you really the President?”he asked. “Yes, I am,”replied Lincoln quietly.Then he asked if there was anything else he could do.“Would you please hold my hand?”asked the soldier.“It will help to see me through to the end.”
In the quiet room, the tall gaunt (憔悴的)President took the soldier's hand and spoke warm words of encouragement until death came.

【解析】
1.细节理解题。通读全文可知,总统亲自为他写家书,在最后的时间里又陪在他身边鼓励他,关心他。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段第一句话可知林肯替这个士兵签了名之后又补充了一句“信是由亚伯拉罕·林肯为你儿子写的”可以推断出,看到信后,儿子的母亲一是为失去儿子而伤心,但又会因为自己的儿子在最后时刻能得到总统的关心而感到很宽慰。
3.猜测词义题。根据上句“I'm afraid I'm not going to recover.”可知,士兵委婉地告诉母亲自己要死了。因而安慰母亲不要太为他难过了。
4.写作意图题。文章通过描写林肯总统对一个即将死亡的士兵及其家人的关心来让读者感受到林肯的伟大。

UGG boots have been a winter?weather fashion for several years now, combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style. What many UGG?enthusiasts don't know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.
Doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.
Dr. Ian Drysdale, head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside, it will lead to more ankle, knee, hip and back problems. “These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesn't mean it's good or right,” he said. “The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. It's a slipper. You wouldn't normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that's indoor. If you decide to wear your pajamas outside all the time, someone will come up and say it's not a good idea.” Dr. Drysdale explained that the feet issues become a particular problem among young teenage girls, whose bones are “plastic” and developing when they are growing. “If that structure is developing in an inappropriate way,” he said,“then the ultimate structure will be deformed.”
Mike O'Neill, a consultant surgeon, said,“As the foot slides around, you get wear and tear (磨损) on the joints on the inside of the foot. The ankle is in the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems.”
UGG Australia, who makes the designer version of the boots, told The Daily Wirror that their boots are “comfort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of “knockoffs (仿制品)” which lack reinforced heels in their boots.
1.Teenage girls prefer to wear UGG boots because of the following EXCEPT ________.
A.design B.comfort C.quality D.warmth
2.According to Dr. Ian Drysdale, ________.
A.there is a possibility that bacteria will multiply in UGG boots
B.wearing UGG boots will lead to more ankle and toe problems
C.it's not a good idea to wear boots like UGG outside all the time
D.teenage girls' bones are plastic enough to wear UGG boots
3.The underlined word “deformed” is closest in meaning to ________.
A.shaped B.strengthened C.reformed D.damaged
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Potential Harm of UGG Boots
B.The Popularity of UGG Boots
C.The Unique Design of UGG Boots
D.Benefits of UGG Boots
