    阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

    "Hey, Tahlia! How's the model?"

    "What kind of __23_ are you going to do? An ad for a Frankenstein movie?" More laughter. My stomach twisted into a tight knot. How could they humiliate (羞辱) me like this, __24__ the entire school? As I walked into the cafeteria, I __25__ the dark scars on my right hand.

    At 9 months old, I knocked over a tea pot and dumped boiling water allover my hands and stomach. My parents __26__ me to the hospital, but I had to have skin graft (移植) operation. I was in so much pain! But what __27__ me most were the cruel things people said about how I looked, __28__ that day at lunch.

    The girls were being supermean to me because they'd heard I was considering doing some modeling. A close friend had suggested that I shouldn't let my scars limit me and that I might __29__ a good model.

    But after that __30__ at school, I was sure I'd made a huge mistake. Upon arriving home, I covered the mirror with a blanket, fell on my bed and sobbed.

        The next day, I __31__ myself to go to school. At lunch my best friend Jesse tried to encourage me: "You can't __32_ forever, Tahlia. So what if you have a few scars? Just go outside and show them that you're just as good as they are." Although I knew he was right, I couldn’t __33__ standing up for myself like that.

    However, that night as I sat on the bed, my friend's words replayed in my mind. I'm __34__ hiding from myself, I thought. How stupid! Slowly, I stood up, walked over to the __35__, and tossed the blanket aside. There, in the mirror I saw a slim, dark-haired, blue-eyed girl, looking just fine, __36__ with a few scars.

    The next day I wore a comfortable T-shirt to school. What's more, I had lunch outside the cafeteria, __37__ beside those mean girls. They were shocked that I should dare to walk into their territory. I felt __38_ too—free and happy.

    Sometimes people still look at me strangely. They __39_ and stare, but I don't let it get to me. I have applied to several modeling companies, and at least one company is considering me for jobs. Maybe I'll never __40_ posing on the runway, but I do know one thing: I'm done.

    I shall never forget the night, a few years ago, when Marion J. Douglas was a student in one of my adult-education classes. He told us how tragedy had struck at his home, not once, but twice. The first time he had lost his five-year-old daughter. He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss; but, as he said, “Ten months later, God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.”
    This double bereavement was almost too much to bear. “I couldn’t take it,” this father told us. “I couldn’t sleep, eat, rest or relax. My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone.” At last he went to the doctors: one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip, but neither helped. He said, “My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice(大钳子), and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.” The tension of grief(悲伤) --- if you have ever been paralyzed(使瘫痪) by sorrow, you know what the meant.
    “But thank God, I had one child left --- a four-year-old son. He gave me the solution to the problem. One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself, he asked, ‘Daddy, will you build a boat for me?’ I was in no mood to build a boat; in fact, I was in no mood to do anything. But my son is a persistent fellow! I had to give in. Building that toy boat took me about three hours. By the time it was finished, I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months! I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking. In my case, building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring. So I determined to keep busy.”
    “The following night, I made a list of jobs that ought to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired. Amazingly, I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention. During the last two years I have completed most of them. I am so busy now that I have no time for worry.”
    No time for worry! That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war. When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities, he said, “I am too busy. I have no time for worry.”
    【小题1】 The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to _________.

    A．having lost a loved one
    B．having lost a valuable article
    C．having lost a profit-making business
    D．having lost a well-paid job
    【小题2】Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because _________.
    A．he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family
    B．he was suffering from sleeplessness disease
    C．he couldn’t get out of mental pressure
    D．he felt tired of adult-education classes
    【小题3】 Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repaired because _________.
    A．he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend them
    B．he wanted to kill his free time by repairing them
    C．the items had actually been broken and needed attention
    D．repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind
    【小题4】 At the end of the passage, the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to ________.
    A．prove that he followed Churchill’s example
    B．support his student’s solution to his problem
    C．show that he was successful in his career
    D．make it clear how his conclusion was reached

    Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
    I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
    After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
    I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
    She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
    “Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
    “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
    “Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
    I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).
    For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
    Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
    At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
    We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
    “How much do I owe you?” she asked.
    “Nothing.” I said.
    “You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
    Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
    【小题1】 The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.

    A．show she was familiar with the cityB．see some places for the last time
    C．let the driver earn more moneyD．reach the destination on time
    【小题2】The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______.
    A．wanted to do her a favor
    B．shut off the meter by mistake
    C．had received her payment in advance
    D．was in a hurry to take other passengers
    【小题3】What can we learn from the story?
    A．Giving is always a pleasure.
    B．People should respect each other.
    C．An act of kindness can bring people great joy.
    D．People should learn to appreciate others’ concern.

    Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead.”

    Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt－a mistake 75% of US population makes every day. The big question is why.

    There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.

    Myth the Number One: It’s best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.

    Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is able to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you’ll have traveled through a windshield(挡风玻璃) or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty－five times in cases where people are “thrown clear”.

    Myth Number Two: Safety-belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

    Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.

    Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren’t needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour(mph).

    Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.

    1.Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead”?

    A．He was driving at a great speed.

    B．He was running across the street.

    C．He didn’t have his safety belt on.

    D．He didn’t take his medicine on time.

    2.The reason why father was in a hurry to get home was that he          .

    A．wasn’t feeling very well

    B．hated to drive in the dark

    C．wanted to take some exercise

    D．didn’t want to be caught by the people

    3. According to the text, to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous because you      .

    A．may be knocked down by other cars.

    B．may get serious hurt thrown out of the car

    C．may find it impossible to get away from the seat

    D．may get caught in the car door

    4.Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe          .

    A．the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident

    B．they will be unable to think clearly in an accident

    C．they will be caught when help comes

    D．cars catch fire easily

    5.What is the advice given in the text?

    A．Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.

    B．Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.

    C．Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.

    D．Drive slowly while you’re not wearing a safety belt.
