It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan, a huge mass of rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in California's beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Mark's dream to climb El Capitan for as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it?
Mark knew he couldn't finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter, an expert rock climber, would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top.
Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton (岩钉) into the rock. Fastening one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton, he let one end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special instrument. This instrument would allow Mark to move upward, but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument.
Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first of the 7,000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above, Peter let out a cheer. “You're on your way.”
Seven years before, at the age of twenty-one, he had fallen while mountain climbing, injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs, but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.
For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway (摇摆) violently on his rope. But Mark kept on determinedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.
It took them one day more than they had expected, but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon, the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman had shown that if you set your heart and mind on a goal, no wall is too high, no dream impossible.
【小题1】What had Mark Wellman long desired to do?

A.To finish one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world.
B.To be the first to climb El Capitan.
C.To climb the highest mountain in California.
D.To help his friend Peter climb El Capitan.

C.He held on to the T-bar and Peter pulled him up.

A.He struck against the rock and hurt his arms.

Though a dollar felt like a small       , I realized how      _ it was to give the gift of being seen: for me to recognize that those I passed by were people just like me.        we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to        more. I’ll never know how and if the dollars       , but I know that the connections we made did.

One day after I had started this weekly practice, I had        enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With my recent purchase wrapped around my shoulders, I        that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to        them from the cold. However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for       . I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel        taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone       . Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said. “Thanks for your       .”

I can’t help but feel that my        with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I        by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has        mine.

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him, but the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card (成绩报告单)arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.

One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you.” Just then, I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster, “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time” and hung up.

Karl’s next report card showed a great improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll(光荣榜). In his fourth year, I attended a parent-­teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home,he said, “Mum,remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

1.By saying “Karl became withdrawn” the author means that the boy changed entirely and ________.

A.he preferred to stay at school

B.he stayed at home all day

C.he refused to talk to his mother

D.he began to like his life

2.There was silence on the other end of the line because ________.

A.the speaker was too moved to say anything to his mother

B.the speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking

C.the speaker didn't want the mother to recognize his voice

D.the speaker didn’t want to interrupt the mother

3.What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Children in single-­parent families often have mental problems.

B.Mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life.

C.Being understood by parents is not necessary to teenagers.

D.School education is a failure.

4. Which is not true according to the article?

A.Karl changed a lot after his father died.

B.What Karl did at school showed that he didn’t love his mother.

C.Karl’s mother tried many ways to help him.

D.Karl’s teachers were surprised at his change.
