The wheelchair-bound young man, a patient of mine, was pushed to the lectern(演讲台) at the high school to deliver his commencement address. His face still partially paralyzed(瘫痪), he spoke in a soft voice. But Mark Orsini delivered a powerful speech and received a thunderous applause from his fellow students, who had wondered if he’d live to graduate.
The 18-year-old had developed Guillain-Barre syndrome(综合病症)，which can cause paralysis. Soon he was almost completely paralyzed.
His parents insisted that he was a fighter. He’d get through this and go on to attend Dartmouth. But meanwhile, immobile and on a ventilator(呼吸器), how was he going to ask questions or be involved in his care?
The solution was remarkable: The Orsinis would sit at Mark’s side and recite the alphabet. When they got to a letter Mark needed to spell a word, he’d nod “yes”. They’d write it down, then start over and wait for him to nod again. They never lost patience and Mark was involved wit every decision. Standard treatment hadn’t helped, so I proposed a risky procedure to filter(过滤)his blood.
After treatment he showed improvement and soon he could move his toes, his legs and then his arms.
Mark has graduated from Dartmouth. I saw him in my office some time ago, and he was feeling great. But there was a lot left unsaid. I wanted to say I was in awe of him, and that his parents were some of the most amazing people I’d ever met, sitting by his bed for hours, patiently listening to their child speak letter by letter. I wanted to tell him of my shame when my children tried to talk to me and I brushed them off because I didn’t have time to listen. I wanted to say I’d never forget him or his parents. But words failed me.
1．The underlined word “commencement” in Paragraph 1 means .
A．graduation B．promise C．birthday D．ceremony
2．What did Mark’s parents do for him when he was learning in class?
A．They did everything for Mark.
B．They assisted Mark in learning.
C．They lost patience sometimes.
D．They made decisions for him.
3．We can learn from the passage that .
A．the standard treatment Mark received was a great success
B．the doctor was not satisfied with Mark’s treatment and felt ashamed
C．the doctor told Mark’s parents that they were impressive and unforgettable
D．the doctor would like to have shared more of his true feelings with Mark
4．According to the last paragraph, how did the writer feel about the way he treated his children?
A．He felt proud of it. B．He felt confident of it.
C．He felt guilty of it. D．He felt doubtful about it.

[1]Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor．Whenever I speak to Chinese students they always say, “My spoken English is poor．” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor” ．I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English．
[2]First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary．However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive．Others will follow you as long as you use the words you know．
[3]Second, they are afraid of making mistakes．Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous．Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY．Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly．However, in speaking, your aim is fluency．You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense．But it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears．
[4]The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening．You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking．
[5]Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners．Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor, If you have this proactive outlook, then, you will see English opportunities wherever you go．
[6]If you ________ beyond the classroom you will forget that English you know．Remember：USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more．

If I were writing a history of my family, some of the darkest moments recorded would be those surrounding Christmas trees．One would certainly think otherwise；selecting and puRing up our trees have always been filled with risk．For example，one afternoon dangerously close to Christmas Eve my mother bought what she thought to be a bargain，a glorious tree that was so full and tall that we could hardly get it into the house．Once we did，my father immediately realized that we would have to hire a carpenter to build a stand for it．Another December perhaps the very next one，we bought a tree earlier than we ever had before．We were happy with its shape and delighted that its size was manageable．We easily placed it in a stand，decorated it from top to bottom，and then self satisfiedly sat back by the fire in its soft light．Two or three days passed and the truth could not be hidden；we had bought a tree cut so long ago that its needles were coming off．There was nothing to do but undecorate it，take it down，and begin tree shopping again．Our most recent Christmas tree offered still another difficult task．When we brought it home，once again it seemed larger than it was in the great outdoors．I persuaded two young neighbors to stop playing basketball and to help us get the tree into the house and set it correctly in the stand．Unfortunately，no one noticed the mud on our helpers’shoes，so only after removing several reddish brown spots from the carpet were we able to discuss the question of where the lights and ornaments（装饰）were stored．Perhaps those who cut their own trees have tales more painful than these．I don’t care to hear them，as my family’s experiences are enough to cause me to make the following suggestion：”Let’s forget the tree next Christmas．Let’s simply hang some flowers on the front door and over the mirror in the hall．”

A．the family bought big Christmas trees
