After successfully serving their term for 4 years, military service men and women are given the choice to stay in the military or return to civilian(平民)life.

For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the most challenging assignments our returning soldiers and marines(水兵)will ever have to undertake. While people may think readjusting should be simple, they must take into consideration all the physical and mental stress our servicemen went through.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder(创伤后应急障碍), or PTSD, is a mental disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat(打仗).

Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time. In the military, the marines are given a two-week course on how to return to civilian life.

Unfortunately, some will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time. These individuals may develop PTSD.

People who suffer from PTSD have difficulty sleeping because they are often reliving the experience through nightmares(梦魇)and flashbacks, and feel deserted or often stand off, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly damage the person’s daily life.

Fullerton College, like most colleges, has its own Veteran’s(老兵)Office. Ray Bustos has been running the office for 3 years. Bustos acts as a liaison(联络) for the school and the veteran students. He makes sure the veterans returning to school get the right benefits. There are various types of financial aid for soldiers and marines. He strongly encourages the use of the Veterans Affairs website.

The website is very informative and extremely helpful for veterans as well as for friends and relatives of veterans who want to learn more.

One purpose of the writer in writing the passage is ________________.

A. to introduce some methods to cure PTSD             

B. to instruct PTSD patients to return to civilian life

C. to recommend a website for veterans and people concerned

D. to give military service men and women advice on civilian life

What problems will some returning soldiers and marines meet with?

A. How to readjust to civilian life.                     B. How to get rid of mental diseases

C. How to get along with PTSD patients           D. How to return to school for benefits.

Which of the following is true about Ray Bustos?

A. He’s a veteran who has just come back from a military combat.

B. He runs Fullerton College with a veteran office.

C. He’s in charge of an office dealing with veteran affairs.

D. He provides a lot of financial aid for soldiers and marines.

The best title for the passage is __________.

A. PTSD: Killer of A Civilian Life.           B. The Last Assignment For All Military Persons

C. How to Overcome PTSD.                    D. Ready for a Civilian Life?

Every person has some unforgettable experiences in his life .Some will remain in his heart as instructive stories to his life. I believe that we often tell ourselves the stories in order to keep our sanity(通情达理). These stories stay inside ourselves.
Many of the stories that I have kept inside myself are in the   36  of lessons that have taught me something about life. These lessons are 37 to carry with me. They require no outside   38  to store them in. No one can   39  me of them. They 40   their freshness without having to be renewed. And I can offer them to others without 41 them myself.
I remember there is a lesson which is about a little girl who was   42   from a serious disease. Her only chance of  43  was to have a blood transfusion(输血)  44  her five-year-old brother. The doctor asked the little boy 45   he would be willing to give his 46   to his sister. He took a 47  breath and said he would do it if it would save her life.
As the transfusion took place, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled as he watched the color 48 to her cheeks. Then his   49  disappeared. He looked up at the doctor and asked in a trembling   50  . “Will I start to  51  right away?”
Being so  52 , the lovely little boy had  53  the doctor. He thought he was going to die after he gave blood to his sister.
This was my lesson in “ 54  ”. I learned that a candle loses  55 by lighting another candle.

科目:高中英语 来源:2011届安徽省合肥八中高三第二次月考英语卷 题型:阅读理解

David Beckham had a dream: to be the first English player to appear in four World Cups.But now it appears that dream is over after a serious injury to his Achilles tendon (跟腱)
 
which means he could be out of action for around six months.With this year's World Cup in South Africa only three months away, sadly Beckham looks set to miss out.The injury happened while Beckham was playing for AC Milan against AC Chievo in the Italian league.After attempting to kick the ball he fell to the ground and hobbled off the pitch before being stretchered (被担架抬走)away.
It is not yet known whether he has completely severed (切断)his Achilles tendon or only torn it.The player has now flown to Finland for assessment and treatment by a knee specialist.
England manager Fabio Capello fears the worst for Beckham's World Cup chances.
"We have to wait for the results of the scan but it looks like he is out of the World Cup," he said in a statement."I spoke with him after the game on Sunday night to offer my support.
"David is a great professional and has worked very hard to be ready for the World Cup, so missing it will be a big blow."
Beckham's former manager at American club LA Galaxy, Alexei Lalas, echoed (共鸣)Capello's words of support:
"It is a horrible situation for Beckham.I know how much it meant to him to be in the World Cup and how important he was to the England team.
David Beckham is now 34 and some are asking whether this serious injury could mean his whole career is over.
Whatever happens, as one of football's best-known and popular players, Beckham will have no shortage of encouragement from fans around the world.
Some will remember Beckham's miraculous recovery from an Achilles injury in 2006, when he was back on the pitch after only eight weeks.
If he could repeat the same feat in time for the World Cup it really would be the stuff of fairytales.
So, perhaps all is not lost.Optimists will take heart from Alexei Lalas' words:
"You never want to write off (排除) David Beckham as he has shown us his ability to bounce back (恢复原状)."
【小题1】What is the best title of the passage ?

A.Beckham had a dream ?
B.Beckham--- a great football player !
C.The end for Beckham ?
D.World Cup in South Africa !
【小题2】What does the author mean by saying “missing it will be a big blow”?
A.Missing the world cup will be a big success.
B.Missing Beckham means a great failure .
C.Missing Beckham means an important opportunity for the American club LA Galaxy.
D.Missing the world cup means a big disappointment for Beckham .
