My grandfather died more than twenty-five years ago. I was fifteen. He was kind, strong, fair, and very funny. When I was a young musician, he was my biggest fan. I played my violin for him when he visited, and he loved everything, but each time he had one request. “Could you play ‘Amazing Grace’?” he asked, full of hope and with a twinkle in his eye, because he knew my answer was always, “I don’t know that one!” We went through this routine at every major holiday, and I always figured I’d have time to learn it for him later.

About the time I entered high school and started guitar, Grandpa got cancer. The last time I saw him alive was Thanksgiving weekend in 1985. My mom warned us that Grandpa didn’t look the same anymore and that we should prepare ourselves. For a moment I didn’t recognize him. He looked so small among all the white sheets. We had all gathered in Ohio for the holiday, and I’m sure we all knew we were there to say good-bye. I can see now that Grandpa held on long enough to see us each one more time. I remember how we ate in the dining room and laughed and talked while Grandpa rested in his hospital bed. I wonder if it was sad for him to be alone with our voices and laughter. Knowing Grandpa, he was probably content.

The next morning I found my moment alone with him. I pulled out my guitar, tuned to his appreciative gaze, and finally played for him “Amazing Grace.” I had worked on it for weeks, knowing it never mattered whether I actually played it well and choosing not to believe as I played that it was my last concert for my biggest fan. The cancer had stolen his smile, but I saw joy in his eyes. He held my hand afterward, and I knew I had done something important.

I argued with people all through college about my music major. I was told by strangers that music wouldn’t make me any money and it wasn’t useful like being a doctor. But I know firsthand that with music I was able to give my grandpa something at a point when no one else could.

1.At first the author didn’t play ‘Amazing Grace’ for Grandpa because _________.

A she hadn’t learned it yet

B. she found it difficult to play

C. she disliked playing it.

D. her grandfather was just joking.

2.From the last sentence in Paragraph 2 we can infer that ____________.

A. Grandpa treasured love from family

B. Grandpa was used to living alone

C. Grandpa was too weak to feel anything

D. Grandpa was optimistic about his health

3.When the author finally played “Amazing Grace” for Grandpa, ____________.

A. she made him smile joyfully

B. she knew she must play it well

C. she brought him love and comfort

D. she believed she could play it many times for him.

4.What is the author’s attitude toward her music major?

A. Disapproving　　 　 B. Regretful

C. Doubtful　　 　 　　 D. Positive

5.Which of the following was true according to the passage?

A. The author was 15 when she wrote the article.

B. The author has a great affection for her grandfather.

C. The author prefers to be a doctor rather than a musician.

D. The author is confident that music will make her much money.

Nine years ago, after Leo had died, people said to me. "I never knew he was your stepfather." You see, I never called him that. At first, he was no one special in my life. Then he became my friend. In time, I felt he was also my father.

Leo married my mother when I was eleven. Two years later we moved into a house in a new suburban development, where we put down roots. At first our lawn was just a mud with wild grass, but Leo saw bright possibilities. "We'll plant trees there to give us shade as well as some flowers," he said. And just these little touches made our house different from all the others. More important, a real family was forming. Leo was becoming a full-time parent, and I was learning what it meant to have a father.

Weekday mornings when the weather was bad, Leo often drove me to school. Having a father drop you off may have been something my classmates took for granted, but I always thought it was wonderful. Saturday mornings, we went to the hardware (计算机硬件) shop, then stepped into the five-and-ten, buying a sports magazine or something else. Some people might think that doing shopping together is nothing special, but I, who had ever before spent my childhood watching other families do their everyday activities, experienced them now with extreme delight. Looking back, I realized that Leo gave me what I needed most—the experience of doing ordinary things together as a family.

Soon after we moved to the suburbs, one of our new neighbors introduced herself to me. She had already met my mother and Leo. "You know," she said, "you look just like your father." I knew she was just making a conversation--but even so... "Thank you", I said. Why tell her anything different?

1.The writer's purpose in writing this passage is _______.

A．to show his pride to have a good stepfather

C．to remind us of our parents

D．to explain why they moved to the suburbs

2.The phrase “put down roots”in the second paragraph means

A．farmed　 　 B．contacted

C．settled　　 D．accommodated

3.In the writer's opinion, _______.

A．it is not easy to live with a stepfather

B．not all the stepfathers are as good as Leo

C．the husband and wife must think more about their children before they divorce

D．in step families the love and friendship are extremely precious

4.The last sentence “Why tell her anything different?”means that　　　　　　　　 .

A．he should have told the truth

B．he wouldn't tell her the truth

C．he wanted to tell her something that had nothing to do with Leo

D．he wanted to keep silence whenever he met the neighbors

“I would rather die than go home!” said 13-year-old Liang. Liang is a Junior student from Hunan. Earlier this month, people found him in the undercarriage(起落架)of a plane! The plane was flying from Kunming to Chongqing. Liang stayed inside for more than one hour while the plane was high in the sky!

It was very cold, very noisy and the winds were strong. Luckily, Liang survived. But his 12-year-old friend was not so lucky. He fell to his death during the take-off.

So why did Liang do such a dangerous thing? Liang said his parents were divorced (离婚). He felt nobody cared for him. He was very sad so he left home.

Kids face lots of problems these days, don’t they? They have too much homework to finish. They have a lot of exams to worry about. They sometimes fight with friends. Sometimes their parents don’t get on well. It can feel like the end of the world.

How should we deal with these things? Do you just keep it secret and let it be? Do you write it down in your diary? Or do you do what Liang did and leave home? You don’t need to hide in a plane to get away from bad things. It’s very dangerous. Why not try talking to your parents?
