It’s the worst event in human being’s nautical（航海的）history , six times more deadly than the Titanic . When the German cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes（鱼雷）fired from a Russian submarine in the final winter of World War II , more than 10,000 people – mostly women , children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Nazi Germany – were packed aboard .
An ice storm had turned the decks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea as the ship tilted and began to go down . Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down . Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to claw their way aboard . Most people froze immediately . “ I’ll never forget the screams , ” says Christa Ntitzmann , 87 , one of the 1,200 survivors . She recalls watching the ship , brightly lit , slipping into its dark grave-and into seeming nothingness , rarely mentioned for more than half a century .
Now Germany’s Nobel Prize-winning author Gtinter Grass has revived the memory of the 9,000 dead , including more than 4,000 children-with his latest novel Crab Walk , published last month . The book ,which will be out in English next year , doesn’t dwell on the sinking : its heroine is a pregnant young woman who survives the catastrophe only to say later : “ Nobody wanted to hear about it , not here in the West ( of Germany ) and not at all in the East . ”
The reason was obvious . As Grass put in a recent interview with the weekly Die Woche : “ Because the crimes we Germans are responsible for were and are so dominant , we didn’t have the energy left to tell of our own sufferings . ” The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable – and necessary .
By unreservedly owning up to their country’s monstrous crimes in the Second World War , Germans have managed to win acceptance abroad , marginalize the neo-Nazis at home and make peace with their neighbors .
Today’s unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long , troubled history . For that , a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay . But even the most politically correct Germans believe that they’ve now earned the right to discuss the full historical record . Not to equate German suffering with that of its victims , but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy .
1.Why does the author say the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was the worst event in nautical history ?
A. It was attacked by Russian torpedoes .
B. Most of its passengers were frozen to death .
C. Its victims were mostly women and children .
D. It caused the largest number of casualties .
2. How does Gunter Grass revive the memory of the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy ?
A. By presenting the horrible scene of the torpedo attack .
B. By describing the ship’s sinking in great detail .
C. By giving an interview to the weekly Die Woche .
D. By illustrating the survival of a young pregnant woman .
3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ marginalize ”
A. highlight B. weaken
C. strengthen D. fasten
4.It can be learned from the passage that Germans no longer think that
A. they will be misunderstood if they talk about the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy
B. the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nation’s past misdeeds
C. Germany is responsible for the horrible crimes it committed in World War II
D. it is wrong to equate their sufferings with those of other countries

When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence．
People naturally have different levels of confidence．Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals．Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals．
One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace． We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise．This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities．After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?
Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success．If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do．
Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job．If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing(裁员)．After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team．
Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve．Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence．
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A．The influence of confidence on one's life．
B．The difference of people's confidence．．
C．The judgment on one's confidence．
D．The importance of confidence to success
2.Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those ______．
A．who think their goals are hard to reach
B．who expect to give guidance to others
C．who want to ask the boss for a raise
D．who dream to be recognized experts
3.What does the underlined word "indispensable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．outgoing B．important
