When I was 18, I had a motorbike accident that put me in a coma for three months. The doctors said there was little chance of my coming out of it, but my identical twin, Marcus, didn’t believe them and carried on talking to me. My first words when I came to myself were, “Hello, Marcus. ”Even though I had no memory of my own name, or that the woman crying at my bedside was my mother, I knew Marcus immediately; it was like a genetic(遗传的)memory. just felt close to him.

As weeks went by, I still could remember nothing before the accident. Marcus was the only person I could relate to.

I had to relearn everything, and Marcus helped me. Because of my twin I wasn’t scared of having lost my memory; I believed everything he said. He became my memory, telling me about my school, friends, previous girlfriends and holidays, showing me family photographs, and telling me how perfect I was.

With his encouragement I slowly recovered and tried to become the person everyone around me loved. Then years later, when my memories flooded back, I learned that I was anything but perfect—I was troublesome, selfish, and now very angry with Marcus for having lied to me.

But finally I understood. Out of love, Marcus had chosen not to tell me about my dark side. He wanted me to have a fresh start—and in fact I had one. Thanks to him, I was able to get married and have kids. I’m 46 now, and feel as if I’m in the third stage of my life. I know all there is to know, and wouldn’t want it any other way.

1.Which of the following words best describes Marcus?

2.According to the text, the author_____.

3.How did the author feel when he first got his memories back?

4.What was the author’s purpose in writing the text?

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤) her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame（身躯）.

Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue(组织) taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, doctors performed complex skin transplants(移植) to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.

When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”

Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.

She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burnt scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”

1.What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?

A．They were friendly to her.

B．They showed sympathy to her.

C．They were afraid of her.

D．They looked down upon her.

2.Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to___________.

A．face others’ unkindness bravely

B．hide their scars by proper dressing

C．live a normal life

D．recover quickly

3.What does the underlined word “permanent” in the 4th paragraph mean?

A. necessary　　　　　　 B. life-long

C. difficult　　　　 D. important

4.What can be the best title of the passage?

A. A Seriously Burned Girl Survives

B. Ways to Get Rid of Unkind Stares

C．Permanent Scars And Pain For a Girl

D. A Seriously Burned Angel of Hope

Bob told me that he would like to be lawyer when he was at school.

As a young man, he had been a bus-driver, a dust-man or a salesman. But he spent his spare times studying and finally become a college teacher. “Young people,” he often said, “full of wishes and hopes after they step into society.”
