.
An old man walked slowly into the restaurant. With heard tilted , and shoulder bent forward he learned on his trusty stick with esch unhurried step. His torn cloth jacket, patched trousers, worn out shoes, and warm personality made him stand out form the usual Saturday morning breafast crowd. He stopped, turned with his whole boby , and winked(眨眼) at a little girl seated by the door. She flashed a big smile right back at him.
A young waitess named Mary watched him toward a table by the window. She ran over to him, and said, “Here, sir.Let me give you a hand with that chair .” she pulled the chair away from the table. Steadying him with one arm, she helped him in front of the chair ,and get comfortably seated. Then she moved the table up close to him ,and learned his stick against the table where he could reach it .
In a soft ,clear voice he said ,”Thank you. Miss.And bless you for your kind gestures.”
“You’re welcome ,sir.” She replied. “And my name is Mary. I’ll be back in a moment, and if you need anything at all in the mean time,just wave at me!”

"I’ve changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my dad back." Lucien Lawence’s letter to Father Christmas written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched every heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all mother said was, "I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children.” I haven’t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑衅者),and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It’s a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet "Deliver my soul from the sword, and my darling from the power of the dog." Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomor??row. We live on, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.
according to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph ________.
A. puts forward the subject of the text

C. acts as an introduction to the discussion
D. makes a clear statement of the author’s views

A. how much he misses his parents now
B. why his parents often appear in his dreams
C. when Lucien will get over all his sadness
D. how proud he was when he succeeded in life

A. Proud. B. Happy. C. Disappointed. D. Worried.

A. to leave behind a precious memory to the people related
B. to have a high sense of duty to the whole society
C. to care what others will remember and treasure

“TODAY is a dream comes true. I have always wanted to be a Grand Slam (大满贯) champion.”
These are the words of Chinese tennis player Li Na after she became the first Asian woman to win a Grand Slam final in the French Open on June 4.
“People were saying I’m getting old. So this is a great success for such an old woman,” the 29-year-old joked.
This is the way that Li usually fights doubts– by being humorous and sharp. “China’s number one sister” is never a pushover (软弱的人).
She has a tattoo (纹身). She has dyed (染色) her hair many different colors. And, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she told her fans to “shut up” when they got too noisy in their support.
Li started to play tennis at the age of 6. She once recalled: “As a child, I felt sad because every day I had to wake up early to practice. After school I had to practice more. I didn’t have time to play.”
Luckily, the tough girl didn’t give up, thus making history for Chinese tennis time after time.
Now the new champion is already thinking about winning another Grand Slam title. Her next stop is Wimbledon – the European grass court championship that starts later this month.
“When you have one title, naturally you will think about another,” she says, not hiding her ambition.
“Chinese people are so lacking in confidence on the tennis court. If there is a person like me who can prove we can do it, the other young players in China will feel the same,” she said.
【小题1】Li Na is _________.
A.a basketball player | B.a table tennis player |
C.a tennis player | D.a soccer player |
A.the Australian Open Tennis Championships |
B.the Wimbledon Championships |
C.the French Open |
D.the American Open |
A.outgoing | B.fashionable | C.tough | D.All above |
A.independence | B.ability | C.confidence | D.ambition |
