I was loading (装载) my truck to go to the market when I hurt my left eye. The pain was like a hot sword(剑) being shoved through my head. I fell down on my hands and knees, and I knew it was bad.
I was taken to the Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, and the doctors operated on me several times but couldn’t save my left eye. When they told me the news, I wanted to die.
Even after I got my fake（假的） eye, I couldn’t shake the sadness. To make matters worse, I lost my job as a transportation officer because of my lost eye. But one morning, I woke up and the TV was on, and there was a 16-year-old girl who had been badly burned on her face and legs. Her situation was much worse than mine. She wore a big smile and seemed to look right at me and said, “You can’t ever give up.” At that moment, I thought, “This is just an eye. Get over it.” And I did.
It’s been almost 12 years since my accident, and there’s nothing I can’t do now that I used to do. And although I didn’t get my old job back, I got my license again.
I read a story once. In that story, a man was feeling bad because he had no shoes until he met a man who had no feet. No matter how terrible your problem is, remember there’s always someone somewhere who’s worse off. So cheer up and smile at life!
【小题1】Because of the accident, the writer _______.

A．lost both of his hands.	B．lost one of his eyes
C．was paid a lot of money	D．knew he was not a good driver

【小题2】According to Paragraph 2, when the writer heard the bad news, _______.

A．he decided to refuse the fake eye	B．he accepted the fact immediately
C．he decided to live a happier life	D．he felt extremely sad

【小题3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．The writer got his old job back	B．The writer can’t see things clearly
C．The writer is not strong-minded	D．The writer has got over the accident

【小题4】By writing his story, the writer most probably wants to _______.

　　It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines．Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines．“I knew the statistics,” she said．“But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13- year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her．” The Princess concluded with a simple message：“We must stop landmines”．And she used every opportunity during her visit to

　　repeat this message．

　　But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons．Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press．They described her as “very ill-informed” and a “loose cannon”．(乱放炮的人)

　　The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms：“This is a distraction(干扰)we do not need．All I’m trying to do is help．”

　　Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess．To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding landmines．The result was a severe embarrassment for the government．

　　To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed that the Princess’s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was “working towards" a worldwide ban．The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding．”

　　For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause．She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems．

(1)
