Supreet Kaur, 28, was reporting the Saturday morning bulletin（新闻快报）for news channel（电视台）IBC24 in Chhattisgarh, eastern India. She delivered a breaking news report about a car crash and spoke with a reporter on the phone who gave additional details. While the reporter didn’t identify the three victims by name, there were enough details for Kaur to realise her husband, Harshad Kawade, had been killed. She knew he had been travelling on the same road, at the same time with four friends in the same type of car identified in the accident —a Renault Duster.

But brave Kaur kept her professionalism and continued to read the headlines for another ten minutes — before breaking down in tears off camera.

Colleagues were full of admiration for the way the 28-year-old mother of one handled the situation. One editor told the “Indian Express”: “It clearly shows her sense of duty and professionalism that she continued and kept calm for another 10 minutes. The moment the cameras were off she began calling her relatives and broke down. She left for the accident site after that. Kaur has worked with us for nine years and is one of the most popular news presenters in the State. "We stand with our colleague in pain.” Another colleague told the ‘‘Hindustan Times; “She is an extremely brave lady. We are proud of her as a news presenter, but what happened today has left us in shock.”

Viewers on social media were also full of praise for the way Kaur calmed herself down.

It was Saturday morning. I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room. I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own. I remember my own feelings when I was 13. I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, can I please have a room of my own? I could use Jeff’s. He won’t mind.”

It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind? The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a door between us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could—or should—know everything about him.

It turned out that getting Jeff’s permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.” Then his voice softened, “Mum, I won’t be living at home again—　 you know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no doors closed here—they had all opened up again.

As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff’s things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever. I looked at the room and, in my heart, I let it go. To hold on would be, as Jeff said, selfish. Now it was time for John, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. It was time for letting go to happen again.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. John was eager to get a room of his own.

B. Jeff was moving to live with his brother.

C. Jeff refused to let his brother have his room.

D. Jeff volunteered to give his room to John.

2.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means “Jeff_______.”

A. finally flew out of the house

B. would have less to do with his family

C. needed his right to privacy

D. got tired of those familiar stories

3.How did the author feel about his children’s sense of independence?

A. Delighted.　　 B. Confused.

C. Jealous.　　 D. Embarrassed.

4.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A. the children did not like to live with adults

B. all her three kids made the author feel depressed

C. none of the members in the family thought the same way

D. the author loved and missed the time together with her kids

Around three forty-five on a rainy Saturday morning, I was woken up by the sound of my pager(呼机) beeping. As a volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician, I can never count on a full night of sleep. I pulled myself out of bed and went toward the desk to grab my radio. Our crew was being sent to a nearby home where a man was in cardiac arrest (心脏骤停). We found the man lying on the kitchen floor with his wife beside him. We rushed the patient to the hospital, but despite our efforts, we were unable to save his life.

In my line of life, I rarely get any recognition from the patients we treat, or from their loved ones. But that night, a man’s wife approached us, and through her tears, whispered, “Thank you.” Then she hugged each of us. She knew we answered her late-night call for help, even though the ending was not positive.

There is something deeply rewarding about helping people in these circumstances. Sometimes, I’m able to make their worst day a bit better: like seeing the tears of an injured child turn into a smile when I gave him an interesting toy; or watching a terrified mother’s screams turn into tears of joy when she realized her baby was going to be fine.

Experiences like these allow me to see the impact my work has on others. At the same time, I also know the effect it has had on my own life. As a teenager, I felt awkward when my dad hugged me and said, “ I love you, my dear son.” I was equally uncomfortable and responded, “I love you.” But then I imagined him lying on the kitchen floor that rainy night and realized that my opportunity to say those three words could---at any moment---be taken away forever. Now, I extremely treasure the moment when my father says those three words to me. I’ve learned to appreciate every relationship I have, to tell people I care about them, and to never take anything in life for granted.

1. On that rainy Saturday morning, the author was woken to ____________.

A. meet his father for the last time

B. put out a really big fire

C. save a man’s life

D. do a scientific experiment

2.The author mentioned the injured child and the terrified mother to show that__________.

A. Life was not always pleasant

B. His help could bring people happiness

C. He saved a lot of people

D. They were very grateful to him

3. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ___________.

A. a rainy Saturday morning

B. special love

C. others’ recognition

D. the author’s work

4.According to this passage, we know that ___________.

A. The author’s work greatly influenced him

B. The author’s father died several years ago

C. The author regretted treating his patients badly

D. The author never treasured every relation with others
