My husband and I had been married nearly twenty-two years when I acquired Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a disorder where my immune(免疫的)system responded to a virus by producing painful blisters. Although my long-term evaluation was good, I, who had been so fiercely independent, rapidly became absolutely helpless.
My husband, Scott, stepped up to the plate, taking care of kids and cooking dinners. He also became my personal caretaker, applying the medicine to all of my blisters because my hands couldn’t do the job. Needless to say, I had negative emotions, bouncing from embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself.
I recovered from my illness, but I couldn’t seem to recover from the thought that I loved my husband less than he loved me. This seeming distinction in our love continued to annoy me for the year following my illness.
Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride. He’s an experienced cyclist; I’m quite the green hand. At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my tired legs, I really thought I couldn’t go any further. Seeing me struggle, Scott pulled in front of me and yelled over his shoulder, “Stay close behind me.” As I followed his steps, I discovered that my legs quit burning and I was able to catch my breath. My husband was pulling me along-again.
I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy. But if he should ever become the struggling one, whether on a bike ride or with an illness, I trust Ill be ready to call out to him, Stay close behind me--my turn to pull you along.

There was a young girl who was raised in circumstances where three meals day was a luxury.
Her family was so poor that she couldn’t afford footwear or books. She would wear overly long dresses to school so her class mates wouldn't notice her bare feet.
Her father had old fashioned ideas about how sons vs. daughters should be raised. However, a sympathetic colleague of his at work would sneak his daughter paper that was used only on one side. The girl would then sew them into a notebook and use those at school. Since she couldn’t afford textbooks either, she would borrow them from her classmates in return for helping them with their homework, and would copy by hand every word and every diagram from each textbook into her homemade single sided notebooks. She could have complained her fate and quit school. Instead, she chose to look at it as extra practice.
Invariably, she would graduate at the top of her class and eventually made it all the way to high school, fighting against her circumstances all the way, every single day.
It was the night before finals. She was putting the finishing touches on her biology lab work journal. It represented an entire year’s worth of her work. She was so absorbed in her school work she forgot to look at the clock. It was her father’s dinner time and she had not warmed his food yet. That was enough to drive him to such anger that he grabbed her journal and stuck the entire thing in the wood stove. Through blurry eyes, she watched her entire year’s labor go up in flames. In order to make that journal which had to be submitted to the examiners for grading, she had specially gathered sheets of paper with pencil writing on one side, and erased every pencil mark using erasers so small they were abandoned by their previous owners as unusable. She then measured and hand cut each sheet so they were all the exact same size before starting work on the journal of 100 pages.
She could have broken down beyond hope at this point. Instead, when life handed her lemons, she decided she’s going to make the best lemonade ever tasted.
She served her father dinner, and after he went to bed, she set about recreating an entire year's worth of work overnight by the light of an oil lamp, because her father would be mad if she wasted electricity studying. This time, she was racing against the clock and this cost her when her work was graded. She still ended up topping her class anyway. She graduated high school with perfect scores and the highest honors in Math, Physics and Biology and with one point less than the perfect score in Chemistry. She made the best lemonade in her life!
1.Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The girl’s father treated her very well.
B. The girl stole paper from her colleague.
C. The girl complained her life and quit school.
D. The girl ranked No. 1 when she graduated.
2.Why her father was so angry?
A. The girl didn’t cook for him.
B. The girl didn’t do well at school.
C. The girl made the lemonade.
D. The girl wasted electricity studying.
3.Which of the following words can best describe the girl?

B. determined and hardworking
C. forgetful and careless
D. sympathetic and helpful
4.What is the best title of this passage?
A. A Brave Young Girl.

Giving Mary Poppins’s magic umbrella some serious competition is the all new high-tech “Oombrella”---not only can it predict the weather, it’s also impossible to lose. The smart umbrella syncs(同步进行) with a smartphone app, sending users updates about weather conditions 30 minutes in advance, and reminders if they happen to leave the device behind. And here’s the added bonus – it won’t ever flip inside-out.
Designed by French company Wezzoo, the rainbow-colored umbrella comes in two versions – classic and modern. The classic is 3.1-ft long with a curved handle, while the modern version is 0.8-ft long with a straight handle. The company describes the device as a ‘portable weather station’, made of a reflective surface with built in sensors that record real-time data such as light, humidity, pressure, and temperature. The umbrella collects and processes this data as well as information from a social media community before sending out alerts about when it’s going to start raining.
And if the user happens to accidentally forget it at home on a potentially rainy day, or leaves it in a restaurant, similar alerts will be sent out using GPS technology to make sure you don’t lose it.
“We wanted to make this umbrella unforgettable in terms of design, too,” explains Alexandre, of Escabo design studio. “We developed an exclusive material. It makes you feel you are holding an aurora borealis(北极光) in your hands. It has effects that are amazing with the light and always changing. It really makes the umbrella special.” The ‘capsule’ that integrates all the technology, making the umbrella smart, is located in the handle.
The umbrella is all set to hit global online and physical stores this fall. According to a company spokesperson, it will retail at 79 euros ($86), but the early bird price on Kickstarter is 59 euros ($64). For those who are rather attached to their current umbrellas, the company will also release an ‘Oombrella capsule’ that can transform any umbrella into a smart device. Now, if only it could make us fly like Mary Poppins!
1.What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about Oombrella?
A. Its special design B. Its working principle
C. Its functions D. Its structure
2.Which of the following best shows how Oombrella works?
A. collect—process—record—predict
B. process—record—collect—predict
C. record—collect—process—predict
D. record—process---collect---predict
3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Oombrella is already on sale
B. Early buyers of Oombrella will save money
C. It’s impossible to turn an ordinary umbrella into a smart one
D. Oombrella is a magic device that can make us fly
4.What’s the purpose of the author writing the passage?
A. To introduce readers a new type of umbrella
B. To show readers how to predict the weather
C. To remind readers to take an umbrella at any time
D. To persuade readers to buy the high-tech umbrella
