My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to kill myself .Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip. On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids: “I’m going to Afghanistan”. And a few weeks later, international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.

In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil war and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. “Adventures or not?” I often asked myself.

When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.

I think about the moment many times during my “adventures”. I didn’t know how predictive those words would be. But I know that she is still with me.

1.Where has the doctor been in the past few years?

A．Some countries where he could set up clinics.

B．Some African countries where flu broke out.

C．The places where the earthquakes happened.

D．The places that the horrible disasters struck.

2.How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan?

A．Tired and troublesome. B．Busy and risky.

C．Meaningful and helpful D．Frightening and depressing.

3.The underlined word “refugees” means people_______________.

A．who are robbed, killed, or wounded

B．who suffer from flu in movable clinics

C．who like to take adventures

D．who have lost homes because of disasters.

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

A．the doctor’s wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries

B．What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality.

C．The doctor’s adventures made him understand the love of his wife.

D．With the true love of his wife, the doctor started to change his life.

A few years ago, I worked at a church(教堂). Since my son was home schooling, he went with me to the church every day. Most mornings, we’d stop at a local store, and get a chocolate drink for him and a cup of coffee for me.

The clerk(店员) at the store made our lives more enjoyable each day, and so we returned again and again. She had found her own way of enjoying life and her job. I’m not even sure if she realized that her warmth and brightness put a smile upon the face of each customer(顾客).

When a customer brought cakes to the counter, any other clerk could have asked: “Would you like some milk with those cakes?” Instead, she asked: “Would you like a lottery ticket(彩票) with those cakes?”

She might have asked me if I wanted sugar with my coffee. But instead, she asked: “Would you like some batteries(电池) with that coffee?”

Yes, life is what you make of it. This clerk’s method of dealing with what some think is a boring job, and with the customers she met daily, made the hours in her day more enjoyable. In doing that, she also refreshed the lives of others and made them laugh.

Sometimes, if my day at the church had been very tiring, we’d stop at that store before going home. We’d giggle (咯咯笑) as we left the store, the clerk’s words echoing (回响) behind us.

“Would you like some shampoo (洗发香波) with that orange juice?”

1. When did the writer and her son usually stop at the local store?

A. In the morning.　　 　　 B. At noon.

C. In the afternoon.　　　　 D. In the evening

2. Why did the writer and her son return to the store again and again?

A. Because the drinks were delicious there.

B. Because the food was cheap there.

C. Because they felt happy there.　

D. Because there was only one store.

3.What was the clerk like?

A. She was serious.　　 　B. She was lively.

C. She was nervous.　 　 D. She was silly.

4.The clerk at the store may ask the customers, “_________”

A. Would you like some milk with the cakes?　

B. Would you like some bread with the milk?

C. Would you like batteries with the toys?　

D. Would you like pencils with the cake?

A few years ago, I went to China with my parents. The five-day trip left me with a deep impression.

As the capital of China, Beijing is a very beautiful city with fresh air and clean streets which make the travelers feel very pleased. To my surprise, many people there were learning English. Later I was told that they did so because Beijing would hold the 29th Olympic Games and they wanted most foreigners to understand them. They strictly kept the traffic rules. When there was a red light, no one was seen crossing the street.

Of all the places I visited, I liked the Summer Palace best. To our surprise, although it was winter when we were there, we still saw green trees and many fresh flowers. The whole park was very beautiful.

We visited a very modern football field. We were told the buildings where the Olympic Games would be held were even better than that. I also enjoyed skiing in Xiangshan. Skiing is an interesting and exciting sport liked by many people.

In my eyes, China is a nice place and Chinese people are very kind. In Beijing Station, there were so many people, and most of them were going home to spend the Spring Festival—the most important Chinese festival, with their families. Passengers helped each other carry luggage（行李）, and they were very kind to foreigners. We were given a card by the hotel we stayed at, on which was the address of the hotel. With the card we never got lost in the city.

The five days passed quickly, but the trip left me a lot of sweet memories.

Four years ago my sweet mom went to be with her Lord. She did it her way.

I got the call at work, and I headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception（接收）.

My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land and loved to work in the garden among her flowers and vegetables. The place was simple, with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.

In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was "Moon River" and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk. She loved to tell how my playpen（婴儿圈栏）sat in the kitchen next to the radio and there was one song I particularly loved called "Ivory Tower".

As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit the farm every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle（喧闹）of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced.

Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me.

My heart skipped a beat. "Moon River" was playing on the radio. I sat there stunned, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.

Then the radio announcer of this oldie station came on. "Here's one we haven't heard in a while," and an unfamiliar song began. I began to cry harder as I heard the words sung over the airwaves. “Come down, come down from your Ivory Tower...”.

1.The writer didn’t like staying in the farm for the following reasons EXCEPT that

________.

A. it was too cold and quiet

B. she could only sing one song on the small farm

C. there was nothing more that could make her excited

D. The place was simple, with no indoor plumbing or heat

2.From the first paragraph, we know that the writer’s mother ________.

A. passed away four years ago

B. left the small farm with Lord

C. left for Lord to live her own way

D. preferred to be with Lord

3.The underlined word reminisced in the fifth paragraph probably means ________.

A. recalled       B. comforted       C. shouted        D. sighed

4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage _______.

A. The writer was able to sing before she could speak.

B. The writer preferred to live a busy life in the city.

C. The writer was still quite familiar with the song "Ivory Tower".

D. The writer treasured all her childhood memories in the small farmhouse.

5.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? _______

A. Cherish life                      B. My happy childhood

C. Our small farmhouse               D. Mom’s music
