One day I was walking home along the street with my iPad on,when suddenly my headphones(耳机)were knocked off my head and a man threw his arm around my neck,saying“Just be quiet.” I was being attacked,and this man's arm was gripping(紧夹)onto me!I started screaming and tried to pull him off me, but failed. He was forcing me to walk towards the back of an auto repair shop and he just kept saying“Be quiet.”
My mind froze with fear. Then I heard my great-grandmother’s voice in my head. She was saying“Come on now. I know you are stronger than that!” She was the rock in our family until she died four years ago.
I have never had any self-defense(自卫)training, but I went for it--I let out a loud scream as I kicked my leg back into his shin(胫骨)!He let go of me(放开我) and I ran off. When I looked back to see if he was running after me,I saw he was running in the opposite direction. Then I ran like crazy to a nearby store.
I asked the girl at the counter for the phone and called my mom. She picked me up five minutes later and I explained what happened through sobs(抽泣).“I am calling the police!” She exclaimed. When we got home,two officers were waiting for us and I told them what had happened.
After my experience,I was afraid to do anything. Things slowly got better,but I still don’t like anyone going near my neck.
The fear isn’t totally gone-after all; the guy is still out there somewhere. But I had a new understanding of my own strength. I never expected to be able to fight off an attacker. I am stronger than I realized.

Happy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day when we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity(成熟)—or so we hope.We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older.Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well.For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud.For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process.But growing old? That is a different story.
Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented (以年轻人为中心)American culture.Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old.People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom.But Americans seem to favor those who are young, or at least “young at heart”.
Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden.Economically, “senior citizens” often try just to get by.Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income.Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference.Older people may suffer from poor nutrition (营养), medical care, and housing. Some even have the experience of age discrimination(歧视). American sociologist(社会学家) Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets.She was often treated rudely--even cheated and robbed.However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.
Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast.Why? People are living longer.Fewer babies are being born.And middle-aged “baby boomers”(婴儿潮) are rapidly entering the group of the elderly.America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹)are “in”.Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers.
1.Growing up is a wonderful thing because ________.
A. people can celebrate their birthdays.
B. people can become more and mature and wiser.
C. people can receive many presents.
D. people will feel younger at heart.
2.We can infer from the second paragraph that _________.
A. young people lack experience and wisdom.
B. American older people often joke about their old age.
C. American culture is very young.
D. different countries have different opinions on the old age.
3.The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 3) means “_________.”
A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medical care
B. the old people in America are probably leading a hard life without good nutrition, medical care or housing.
C. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65.
D. American social security benefits are not good.
4.From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replaced by _______.
A. serious B. bad
C. disappearing slowly D. growing fast

“Is it possible for Brownie not to be glad to be back after a happy stay at my uncle's?”Miss Gauss asked Dad.“It'll be all right. Give her a bit more to eat,” he said in a low voice, without tearing his eyes from Brownie while his wife was busy packing Brownie's belongings, saying,“Brownie is not so cute as her younger brother, Spotty. Take care of the little thing when walking him.”
It happened on the night of July 10th, 2013 before the Gausses took a trip to Hawaii. They entrusted their pet to me because they thought I was the first person they'd confide in. And another intention of theirs was that I had already trained Spotty into a well?known pet in my community, which can act many tricks, such as “Sit down!” “Stand up!” “Give me your right hand!” “Turn around!” She can even sing, and, of course, that's just a strange sharp noise. Having seen them off, I took beautiful Brownie home in my arms, for fear that he would slip away.
Brownie_was_the_kind_of_go?go_but_unsocial_baby,_so I tried many ways to be his friend, which made Spotty rather unhappy. They often fought a battle, seemingly to break my roof loose. Soon, Brownie turned out to be an agreeable family member. He was an endearing pet, often begging for comforts in my arms. I seized the chance to train him and he achieved a lot, which I texted Mr.Gauss. They were so overjoyed and decided to fly home ahead of time to see Brownie's qualitative change.
But,all this was thoroughly destroyed because of Brownie's death in a traffic accident. What a poor little creature!He was really dogged(紧随) by bad luck, and he was saved from death shortly after his birth. For whatever reason,therefore, I was overwhelmed by feelings of guilt, which seemed to run most deeply in me.
The best way to cheer ourselves up is to try first to cheer somebody else up. That will be an everlasting pain in my heart, a wound that does not heal.
1. What is suggested in the first paragraph?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. A sign of tragedy.
D. Background of the accident.
2. Brownie went to the writer's home mainly because________.
A. his owners would go on a trip
B. he was just saved from death
C. he would be Spotty's husband
D. he would be trained
3. When the writer says“Brownie was the kind of go?go but unsociable baby”, he means________.
A. Brownie was active but unfriendly
B. Brownie was easy?going but unfriendly
C. Brownie was a pet that runs fast
D. Brownie was active but homeless
4. How did the writer feel after the accident?
A. Regretful. B. Guilty.
C. Sympathetic. D. Embarrassed.
