Photography（摄影） has been my interest ever since I was old enough to pick up a camera, but today I want to share with you the 15 most treasured（珍贵的）photos of mine, and I didn't take any of them. In fact, most of them were taken by random（随机的）tourists.
My story begins when I was in New York City for a speech, and my wife took a picture of me holding my daughter on her first birthday. We're on the corner of 57th and 5th. We happened to be back in New York exactly a year later, so we decided to take the same picture.
Well you can see where this is going. Approaching（临近） my daughter's third birthday, my wife said, "Hey, why don't you take Sabina back to New York and make it a father-daughter trip, and continue the ceremony?" This is when we started asking passing tourists to take the picture.
So these photos are far more than representatives（代表） for a single moment, or even a specific（具体的） trip. They're also ways for us to freeze time for one week in October and reflect on（反思） our times and how we change from year to year, and not just physically, but in every way. Because while we take the same photo, our viewpoints（观点） change, and she reaches new milestones (里程碑) and I get to see life through her eyes, and how she communicates with and sees everything. This very focused time we get to spend together is something we value（重视，珍惜） and expect the entire（全部的） year.

A. He is fond of being photographed alone.

2.Who came up with the idea of having a father-daughter trip when Sabina was 3 years old?

B. the 15 photos are meaningful to the author's family
C. it takes the author a whole week to have a family photo taken

It was a hot, humid day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickez’s pasture(牧场) and through some woods．
The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull．Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, maybe even the county, and we believed him．But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about his claim．For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull．
Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced．Mom said she would talk to Mr. Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me．In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning．“I’m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.” I told my mom．
“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone. I gave in and we set out．On our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly．Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back．Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still．
We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”．And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn’t been too bad．She’s been one of my best friends over the years．
1.What’s the meaning of the underline word “fishy” in Paragraph 2?
A．Funny．
B．Interesting．
C．Doubtful．
D．Believable．
2.What’s the second problem the author has to face?
A．His mother insisted on his cousin going with him．
B．His cousin made jokes on him in his grade school．
C．He quarreled with his cousin and had a headache．
D．His mother failed to ask permission for him．
3.What does the author think of Elsie in the end?
A．Aggressive．
B．Unkind．
C．Bad-tempered．
D．Friendly．
4.What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The bull guarding Mr. Blickez’s farm．
B．The story of visiting the swimming hole．
C．How friendly the so-called mean bull was．
D．How the author changed his attitude to Joanie．

When I was in seventh grade, I was a candy striper (护士助手) at a local hospital in my town. I volunteered about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer.
Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie. He never has any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional squeeze (紧握) of my hand. Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).
I left for a week for a vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was gone. I didn’t have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year.
Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes filled with tears. He was alive! I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr. Gillespie，and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.
He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose (昏睡的), he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive. Then he told me about his life. We exchanged a hug, said our good-byes and went our separate ways.
Although I haven’t seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and his death. As importantly, he has made a great difference in my life. I will never forget him and what he did for me: He made me an angel.
