    One day when I was 5, my mother criticized me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry motion to open the screen door (纱门) with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.

    Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have criticized my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. But my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a crack in the defense against unwanted insects.

    For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would remind me of my mistake from time to time. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.

    1.When the author damaged the door, his parents _______.

    A. scolded him for what he had done B. left the door unrepaired

    C. told him how expensive it was D. gave him a spanking

    2.How did the author feel every time he saw the damaged door?

    A. He felt ashamed of his uncontrolled anger at that time.

    B. He found that his family members no longer liked him.

    C. He found it destroyed the happy atmosphere at his home.

    D. He felt he had to work hard to make up for (弥补) the damage.

    3.The experience may cause the author _______.

    A. to hide his anger away from others

    B. not to go against his parents’ will

    C. to have a better control of himself

    D. not to make mistakes in the future

    4.What of the following is the main idea of this passage?

    A. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.

    B. Parents shouldn’t educate their children.

    C. What is the best way to become a more patient person?

    D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.

    You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together.

    You know, there was a time when we were not only separated by the generation gap but completely polarized (对立) by it. Split by: age and experience, opinions, hairstyles, cosmetics, clothing and boys.

    The Father-Daughter Duel（冲突） of‘54 shifted into high gear（白热化） when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the‘54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who accompanied me home after you reported the Chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father-daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a 16-year-old. You were so decent about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.

    Our relationship improved greatly when I had babies. I didn’t know what to expect of you and Mom as grandparents but I didn’t have to wait long to find out. Those babies adored you then just as they adore you now.

    I suppose I saw our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine. But the oddest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn’t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and frail behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.

    Fifty years ago this spring, we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in Charles City, Iowa.

    This week, we’ll plant kohlrabi together again, perhaps for the last time but I hope not. I don’t understand why planting kohlrabi with you is so important to me but it is. I don’t even like kohlrabi... but I like planting it with you.

    Honoring a father on Father’ s Day is about more than a dad who brings home a paycheck, shares a dinner table, and attends school graduation and weddings. It’s more about unconditionally loving children who are stubborn, who know everything and won’t listen to anyone. It’s about loving someone more than words can say, and wishing that it never had to end.

    I love you, Dad.

    1. What is the purpose of the third paragraph?

    A. To prove that the father is very strict.

    B. To describe the father-daughter politics.

    C. To show the conflict between the author and her father.

    D. To condemn the policeman for lack of understanding.

    2.What does the author mean by saying “a slap in the face” in the fifth paragraph?

    A. She regretted the fights she had with her father.

    B. She suddenly realized that her father was so old and could be gone one day.

    C. She was ashamed of herself that she hadn’t taken good care of her father.

    D. She suddenly realized that she had caused a lot of trouble for her father.

    3.Which of the following words can describe the author’s father?

    a. Unreasonable b. Caring c. Tolerant d. Stubborn

    A. bc B. bd

    C. acd D. bcd

    4.The author wrote his father this letter to _________.

    A. tell him about their conflicts B. say sorry for her being stubborn

    C. express her gratitude to him D. remind him of the early incident

    Many of us remember being in awe(敬畏) when we saw cloned dinosaurs running wild in the film Jurassic Park. And the idea of using technology to revive(恢复) extinct species has long fascinated not only writers and directors, but scientists as well.

    According to The Telegraph, woolly mammoths(长毛猛犸象), which featured in the popular Ice Age animated movie series, “may walk the earth once more” now that scientists have taken another step toward realizing a long-held dream—recreating their DNA.

    Mammoths became extinct around 10,000 years ago. However, since the discovery of near-perfect preserved remains in Arctic permafrost(北极冻土带) in May 2013, a variety of research studies have been carried out since.

    Geneticists from Harvard University analyzed DNA from the remains, looking for genes which separated mammoths from elephants, such as hairiness and ear size. They then used the results to reproduce exact copies of 14 mammoth genes. “It is the first time that mammoth genes have been alive—although so far it has only been done in the lab,” George Church, lead researcher of the project, told the Sunday Times.

    Church then used a new technique which allows scientists to edit DNA carefully, replacing sections of elephant DNA with the mammoth genes. So “we now have functioning elephant cells with mammoth DNA in them,” he said.

    However, Church ruled out the possibility of bringing the mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains. He said he “preferred to focus on rebuilding the full mammoth genome(基因组) by analyzing DNA from preserved remains and putting it into the cells of its closest living relative – the Asian elephant,” reported The Telegraph.

    Church argued that the return of the woolly mammoth—or rather, the return of something very similar—could help bring back fragile(脆弱的) ecosystems. However, some scientists believe that bringing back the mammoth would be unethical.

    Professor Alex Greenwood, an expert on ancient DNA, said: “We may face the extinction of African and Asian elephants. Why bring back another elephant from extinction when we cannot even keep the ones that are not extinct around?” he told the Sunday Times. “What is the message? We can be as irresponsible with the environment as we want. Then we’ll just clone things back?”

    “Money would be better spent focusing on conserving what we do have than spending it on an animal that has been extinct for thousands of years,” he said.

    1.We can learn from the article that ______.

    A. cloned mammoths followed cloned dinosaurs to get revived

    B. the technology to revive mammoth genes is already mature

    C. George Church and his colleagues tried to reproduce mammoth DNA

    D. Church and his team managed to list all the genes that separate mammoths from elephants

    2.According to Church, what is the significance of his study?

    A. It could help prevent the extinction of the Asian elephant.

    B. It could help people better tell elephant DNA from mammoth genes.

    C. It could help bring back some extinct species and save fragile ecosystems.

    D. It could help bring mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains.

    3.The underlined word “unethical” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______.

    A. unacceptable B. misled

    C. impractical D. illegal

    4.According to the article, Professor Alex Greenwood believes that _______.

    A. there is no need to worry about the extinction of African and Asian elephants at present

    B. it’s necessary to bring back species that are beneficial to human beings from extinction

    C. the return of the woolly mammoth would help to balance ecosystems

    D. it’s more important to protect present species than to bring back extinct ones

    The teachers are preparing their classrooms for the start of classes. As their principal, I was energized by their enthusiasm. Everywhere I went, I asked the same question, “How are you doing?” And everywhere I went, I received the same answer, “just fine.”

    There was only one person whom I didn’t quite believe. It was her first year of teaching. Her classroom was inviting. She seemed well-prepared. On the outside everything seemed just fine, but there was something in her eyes that mad me ask that question again and again.

    Then came Wednesday. “How are you doing?” I asked. “Mr. Boyce, I think I’m going to make it,” she said. The office was full of teachers and noise, but the voices became quiet as the young teacher continued.

    “Monday night, after our open house (开放参观日)，I just didn’t think I could do it. There were so many parents and children, and I felt under great pressure. When I told my family I didn’t think I could do it , they said I had to try.

    “The next morning school started. I thought I was ready, but there were so many of them and their needs were so different. I just didn’t know how I could manage.

    “I said to my parents if I had fewer kids I could handle it. So they asked me which children I would get rid of. But I couldn’t decide. I’d only had them for one day, but I couldn’t think of a single child I could do without. They’re mine. I can’t do without any of them. I don’t know how, but I’m just going to do the best I can and I really think I’m going to make it. “

    There wasn’t a dry eye in the office when I replied, “I think you are, too.”

    1.Why did the principal ask the new teacher the same question repeatedly?

    A. She used to lie to others.

    B. He just wanted to show his authority.

    C. she was not as enthusiastic as other teachers.

    D. He could tell from her eyes that she wasn’t well-prepared.

    2.What was her family’s advice for the new teacher?

    A. To give up B. To have her own kids.

    C. To make an attempt D. To kick out the naughty kids.

    3.It can be inferred that the new teacher____.

    A. was not good at teaching.

    B. liked her job to be a challenge

    C. loved each of her students

    D. didn’t have much confidence in herself.

    4.What was other teachers’ response to the new teacher’s words?

    A. Doubtful B. Absent-minded.

    C. Tired and sleepy D. Deeply affected.
