Sometimes we experience pain that seems just too big to feel, too frightening to face - it looks like a tsunami. So, we run. My tsunami came when I was nine years old.

I was woken up by my mother’s screams - “Bob? Bob?! BOB!” I ran to my parents’ bedroom. My father was on all fours, unconscious. My mother was crazy - desperately trying to figure out how to stop what was happening. I ran to the phone - 9-1-1, the neighbors, anyone - “help us!” Soon rescue came, but my father didn’t come back to life.

When my friends came to comfort me, I remember “pulling myself together” as I walked toward them, determining to show them that I was fine.

The more I denied my pain, the more I was praised by the adults around me-”Oh, look how strong she is!” So, I kept saying “I’m fine.” Over and over and over. I said it enough - performed it enough - that I even fooled myself. I believed that I was okay.

But pain doesn’t just “go away” - that whole “time heals” thing is a total crock. 30 years after my father died, when I looked around for an explanation for all the years of destructive behavior, I couldn’t find the root of the pain in my life because I had covered it up so well. All the “I’m fine” - 30 years of them - buried the pain of that nine years old girl.

Her pain had been trying to come out, to be heard, to be healed.

And, finally, it was.

After years of treatment, I found my way back to that night where the pain started, back to the tsunami. This time, I didn’t run. It hurt - it still hurts - but now, when it hurts, I let the pain come. Fm not scared to say, “I’m not fine” - because I know, eventually, I will be.

1.What did the author do when her father was in danger?

A. She ran out to look for rescue.　　 B. She kept calm and asked for help.

C. She offered first aid to him at once.　　 D. She was too afraid to do anything.

2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “crock” in Paragraph 5?

A. fact　　 B. theory

C. experiment　　 D. lie

3.Why was the author praised?

A. She behaved politely.

B. She seemed to be confident.

C. She could look after herself.

D. She could handle the blow properly.

4.What lesson can we get from the author’s experience?

A. Hiding our pain can be harmful.

B. Expressing pain is not very easy.

C. Being strong means hiding one’s pain.

D. Children are good at covering up their pain.

Valentine's Day is supposed to be about love and romance. But unfortunately, it can be just the opposite. Because of that, Feb. 15th starts the busy season for divorce lawyers, as people who were unhappy with their marriages heading into the day often decide that they no longer want to be with the one they used to love.

A study of divorce filings (档案) in New York, Illinois and California by AttorneyFee. com, a legal referral (推荐) site, found that February is the busiest month of the year for divorce filings, up about 18% from the average month. And those seeking referrals for a divorce lawyer on the site increase 38% following the holiday, with the biggest rise on the day after Valentine’s.

Another legal site, Avvo. com, reports a 40% increase in those seeking information and advice about divorce in the period right after Valentine’s Day.

“There's a very large number of people who are considering the divorce all the time, deciding whether or not to file," said Richard Komaiko, a co-founder of AttorneyFee. “On Valentine’s Day, this thing is carefully considered.”

Komaiko said February has factors other than the holiday that could lead to an increase in divorces. January is the busiest month of the year for bankruptcy (破产) filings, highlighting the financial problems that often divide couples. In addition, the cold weather of February can keep couples that are having trouble indoors and closer to each other, adding to problems.

But Alton Abramowitz, president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, believes the holiday itself often worsen the relationship for couples who are having trouble. "There’s always the clients who come in a day or two after saying ‘I can’t believe it. I made this beautiful dinner for my husband for Valentine’s Day, but he called to say he was stuck in the office and then didn't come home at all.’" Abramowitz said, “the day can create problems that lead to them finally getting caught."

1.What makes Valentine’s Day convey the meaning opposite to love and romance?

A.Valentine's Day won't bring people love and romance.

B.Many divorce filings change the nature of Valentine's Day.

C.Couples having troubles tend to break up after Valentine's Day.

D.Divorce lawyers dislike the atmosphere of Valentine's Day.

2.According to the study made by AttorneyFee. com, divorce filings are ________.

A.occurring most after the new year B.less connected with Valentine's Day

C.more likely to be handled online D.at the height of popularity in February

3.People intending to divorce may make use of Valentine’s Day to ________.

A.reflect on the divorce B.take legal action

C.make negotiations D.put the divorce aside

4.According to Komaiko, why do divorces grow in number in February?

A.Because financial problems and cold weather may bring more problems.

B.Because the long winter holiday makes couples hard to get through.

C.Because the husband is too busy with work to spend the day with his wife.

D.Because Valentine’s Day gets couples into financial trouble.
