William Cary said he has learned to appreciate small victories with his 17-year-old son Ben, who has autism and doesn’t speak, so he choked up while describing how proud he was when Ben buttoned his pants for the very first time after going to the bathroom. But one victory that Ben achieved long ago was surfing. Since the age of six, he has been participating in Surfers Healing surf camps for children with autism.

The annual event returned recently to Tourmaline Surf Park in California. More than 150 children took turns riding the waves with 15 professional surfers as well as a small group of volunteers. Ben could hardly wait to get in the water with surfer Graham. Within minutes of hitting the sand, Ben mounted a long board (冲浪板) and Graham gently pushed him out into the thigh-high surf. Graham, who has an 11-year-old son with autism, said he’s seen firsthand how children immediately transform when they’re rolling in the ocean waves.

Surfers Healing was started 20 years ago by surfer Izzy Paskowitz and his wife, Danielle. One day while in Hawaii, their son Isaiah had a meltdown (情绪失控) on the beach and Izzy tried to distract the boy by tossing him into the waves. Suddenly, the boy’s anger was replaced by smiles and wonder, and Surfers Healing was born. Each year, the foundation hosts 25 camps around the world serving more than 5,000 autistic children, ranging in age from 3 to 25. About half of the group participating recently was new to the sport.

Paskowitz said the ocean has a healing power on people with autism. The rhythm of the waves calms them, and the sounds, sights, textures and temperatures create such a sensory overload (负荷) that it forces the mind to focus. Many of the children arriving at the beach initially covered their ears from the crash of the waves, but gradually these sensitivities disappeared. One teen camper who traveled with her mom from Arizona wouldn’t get out of the car for more than an hour. Finally, she was coaxed (哄骗) to take a brief ten-minute ride in the knee-high waves on a body board. As she returned to shore, a volunteer awarded her a small trophy for participation.

1.What was most probably the reason why Cary choked up?

A. He was proud that his son was a good surfer.

B. He achieved a small victory.

C. He took pride in his autistic son learning to take care of himself.

D. He was too surprised to see his autistic son button his own pants.

2.Which of the following statements is true?

A. Ben has suffered from autism since he was six.

B. Around 150 people took part in the recent surfing event in Tourmaline Surf Park.

C. Autistic people usually range in age from 3 to 25.

D. Surfing is so stimulating to our senses that it forces autistic children to focus.

3.How did Surfers Healing come into being?

A. It was initiated 20 years ago by a foundation.

B. A boy went crazy on the beach of Hawaii two decades ago.

C. Surfer Izzy Paskowitz and his wife realized the healing effects of surfing 20 years ago.

D. Surfer Izzy Paskowitz’s son was cured of autism by surfing two decades ago.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. From Chaos to Peace　　 B. Surfing Washes Away Autism Symptoms

C. The Surfers’ Club　　 D. Transforming Powers of Surfing

My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.

One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.

The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, “The war is over!” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.

1.What the grandfather was most worried about was           .

A. the spread of the world war           B. the safety of his two cousins

C. a drop in his living standards          D. his relatives killing each other

2. The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “         “

A. order for army service                B. train ticket for Europe

C. letter of rejection                D. note of warning

3.What did the “service pins” (in Para.2) stand for in the eyes of the little girls?

A. Strength.       B. Courage.        C. Victory.         D. Honor.

4.Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?

A. Disappointing.   B. Unexpected.      C. Uncertain.       D. Inspiring.
