The wife asked the husband when she was 25. Upset, the husband replied:“I missed a new job opportunity.”When she was 35,the husband angily told her that he had just missed the bus.

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
It puzzled Emily when she was aware of something wrong. She tripped upon men’s clothing “hidden” around her house.
The 38-year-old woman says, at the beginning, she was confused to see quite a few photographs in her phone that she did not remember taking. She was the subject but something was different. Her friends started falling away and she did not know why. Her long-term relationship with her boy friend also ended suddenly.
Now she knows those men’s clothing belonged to one of her “alternatives” and the same person was responsible for her closest friends’ leaving her.
In an interview, Emily said she was not allowed to name “the man” who takes over her body. She was not allowed to name any of her six alternative persons. She said, “I am aware that they are not real people, not physical people. They exist in an imaginative world. However, all those alternatives should be treated with dignity and respect.”
Emily has what’s called Dissociative Identity Disorder ( DID 分 离 性 身 份 识 别 障 碍 ) , a condition characterized by the presence of two or more split personalities that have power over a person’s behaviour.
Her condition resulted from a car accident five years ago. It was August, 2012, when her vehicle broke down on the side of the road. A speeding driver crashed into her car. She wasn’t physically injured but she suffered a mental condition caused by severe brain injury. Shortly after that, she discovered she wasn’t alone inside her head. Switching between personalities happens frequently but there is no real pattern. It can be weeks between incidents then, for whatever reason, it happens more regularly.
One of her alternatives is a smoker, even though she is not. Upon waking, she says there are messages in her head that she is a smoker. She describes her lifestyle as “isolated”.
“People consider DID as tragedy” she says, “I just want to make an effort to tell others that we deserve respect, that we are legally accepted members of society, and we hope to live a normal life. I m not stupid, I’m not spiting or running around people with knives. I have a mental problem but try to live a normal life. I completed a course at Harvard, I wrote a book, I m able to communicate well. I mother my two kids well. I’m not on welfare.”
Actually, she volunteers for an organization helping children. She also spends time speaking out about her condition and has written a book on the subject, hoping to help others who are experiencing the same trouble.
1.Why did Emily’s boy friend break up with her?
A. Because all his friends didn’t like her.
B. Because she remained a heavy smoker.
C. Because she had changeable characters inside her.
D. Because she was physically disabled in a car accident.
2.What does Emily think of her personalities inside her?
A. They also deserve respect.
B. They are gifts given by God.
C. They are too strong to resist.
D. They make her life interesting.
3.What can we know about Emily from the passage?
A. Her mental illness prevented her from attending Harvard.
B. She can control her regularly changing personalities.
C. Her physical injury from a car accident caused DID.
D. She tries to live a positive life and help others.
4.What’s the main idea of the text?
A. It intended to explain what a DID is all about in detail.
B. It introduced a woman suffering DID after a car accident.
C. It reported a car accident and its severe consequence.
D. It described what a terrible life a lonely woman lived.

When she moved the covering cloth to look upon his tiny face, she was shocked. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.
Time proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be full of heart- breaks for his imperfect appearance.
He grew up, handsome for his misfortune and popular with his fellow students. He might have been class monitor,but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music.
Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You’re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’s a secret.” The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person turned up. His talents blossomed into genius, and his school and college became a series of success. Later he married and entered the diplomatic service.
One day ,he urged his father, “Who gave so much for me?I must know! I could never do enough for him.”
“I do not believe you could, ” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.”
The years kept their secret, but the day did come--- one of the darkest days that a son must endure. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket (棺材). Slowly, tenderly, the father reached out a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to show that the mother had no outer ears.
“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut, ” he whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they?”
Real beauty lies not in the physical appearance,but in the heart. Real treasure lies not in what can be seen,but in what cannot be seen. Real love lies not in what is done and known, but in what is done and not known.
1.The mother was shocked at the first sight of her baby because .
A. her baby was born without hair
B. her baby had a tiny face

2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The son attempted to repay the donator’s kindness.
B. The son didn't know the truth until his mother died.
C. With donated ears, the son’s life developed smoothly.
D. The boy couldn't hear clearly without ears at first.
3.Why did the boy's mother never have her hair cut?
A. Because her hair helped to keep a secret.
B. Because her hair added to her beauty.
C. Because her long hair was her pride.
D. Because she liked her thick and brown hair.
4.Which is the best title for the passage?
A. A Misfortunate Boy
