I have had the privilege of meeting some very interesting people over the years. Some of these people made a great impact on my life, my views and personal philosophy. Others I met had the opposite effect because they represented attitudes, behavior and beliefs that were directly opposed to my views on life and my feelings about the value of all people.

One such person I met was a woman in her late seventies. She had been an active woman, raised a family and had engaged in helping others, and developed her own crafts to sell at selected craft shows throughout the year.

When I met her for the first time, I couldn't believe that she was in her late seventies—I would have placed her age more in her early sixties. After speaking with her for a short period, it was only then that the conversation seemed to turn to age. And, it wasn't a conversation about the frailty(脆弱) of age, or the aches and pains, or about pleasures lost.

The conversation, instead, focused on her zest for life and all the things that she was in the planning stages of doing. And, what she was planning to do wasn't about going to a seniors group so she and her husband could go on a bus tour. What she was planning was an excursion(旅行) to Europe, unaccompanied by any tour operator or taken around the usual sights by a local guide.

She really impressed me a lot because of her zest for life; for an uncompromising view of the future not in the least affected by her age; for the undying faith in knowing that there was a great deal of life yet to be discovered and experienced and yearning for each new image, discussion, smell, cultural uniqueness or experience.

16．From the text we know ________．

A．the woman had much sightseeing around the world

B．the woman was willing to help others

C．the woman made great wealth by selling crafts

D．the woman talked a lot about her age

17．The old woman impressed the author because ________．

A．she kept young in spite of her age

B．she had experienced a lot in life

C．she never gave in to the aches and pains in life

D．she had a positive outlook on life

18．What kind of tone does the author use to describe the woman?

A．Doubtful. C．Concerning.

C．Sympathetic. D．Appreciative.

19．The underlined word “zest” in the fourth paragraph probably means “________”．

A．enthusiasm B．concept

C．view D．satisfaction

文章讲述的是作者所碰到的一个七十多岁的女人及其对生活充满热情的态度。从她身上作者学到了很多。

16．B　细节理解题。根据第二段“…had engaged in helping others…”可知她是乐意帮助别人。

17．D　细节理解题。根据第四段“The conversation, instead, focused on her zest for life and all the things that she was in the planning stages of doing.”以及最后一段“She really impressed me a lot because of her zest for life”可知。

18．D　推理判断题。作者在讲述这个人的时候一直都表示对她的生活态度很佩服，所以选D。

19．A　词义猜测题。由上下文可知zest是“热情”的意思，故选A。

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   36   teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   37   the same things thousand and one times, do not   38   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   40 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking (嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43   to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45   to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   46   I need to and when not. When my   47   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   48 , the same way I did when you gave your first   49 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50   any more — that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, 51   my mistakes, I always wanted the   52   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent (无可奈何) for seeing me   53   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.

When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（light）me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.

When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(disappointment)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think:“Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.

It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist，who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

1. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______.

A．become serious about her study	B．go to her friend’s house regularly
C．learn from her classmates at school	D．share poems and stories with her friend

2.In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means ______.

A．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us

B．we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London

C．our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared

D．we parted with each other in London

3. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______.

A．call each other regularly	B．have similar personalities
C．enjoy writing to each other	D．dream of meeting each other

4. In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ______.

A．seek professional help	B．be left alone
C．stay with her best friend	D．break the silence

5. What is the best title for the passage?

A．Unforgettable Experiences	B．Remarkable Imagination
C．Lifelong Friendship	D．Noble Companions
