Captain Henry, a 98-year-old American retired fisherman, has become a first-time author, having written and published his autobiography In a Fisherman's Language after learning to read at the age of 91.

Mr.Henry spent most of his life without even his closest family members knowing he was illiterate. Forced to quit school in the third grade to take odd jobs, he kept the secret close to his chest, only telling his late wife. Henry's granddaughter, Marlisa, told reporters how he used tricks, like waiting for others to order at restaurants first, to avoid the issue.

A family argument in his 90s, she said, aroused his desire for education.“He signed a document he could not read about where he was going to live, Marlisa said. Starting with his name, he eventually moved on to the ABC's and children's books. He put them down since his wife fell ill. After the tragic loss of his wife, he went back to reading and began to log (记录) his life. He wrote about his family's voyage from Portugal to the US, how he went on to captain a boat, and his many journeys at sea.

His life stories have become so popular that nearly 800 copies were sold in the first two weeks after the book's release. One thousand more have since been printed as requests for the book flood in from as far as Germany. And now even Hollywood producers have approached Mr. Henry about buying the rights to his life story for a big screen adaptation.

The family also now has a book agent and a deal in the works to publish a second edition. Meanwhile, the family says they are reconnecting and closer than ever as a result of Henry's late-life efforts.“Everyone has a story,” Marlisa said, “It teaches that when you're down and out, never give up.”

1.When did Henry begin writing his life story?

A.When he was 91 years old. B.After his wife passed away.

C.When he was 98 years old. D.After he retired from work.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A.A Hollywood producer wishes to make a movie out of Henry's book.

B.Henry never told anyone that he couldn't read or write.

C.Henry began his reading with some famous novels.

D.Henry's book was well-received only by Americans.

3.How did Henry's family benefit from his writing?

A.The family got more money from the 2nd edition.

B.The family ties were rebuilt and strengthened.

C.His family moved from Portugal to the US.

D.His family story has been made into a movie.

4.What message can Henry's story give us?

A.An idle youth, a needy age. B.Every coin has two sides.

C.Practice makes perfect. D.It is never too old to learn.

I am the captain of a ship in American Marine Police Force. I have been working as a policeman on the sea for eight years. I really love the sea because of its cool winds, the fresh smell and the beautiful scenery (风景), so I joined Marine Police Force to safeguard the sea.

Several days ago, I was out on a boat with my friends. We were not on duty but our officer allowed us to use the police sailing boat. It was very relaxing to have a day off on the sea with friends.

We went fishing. We were on our way back when I saw a ship with the name PSS Pollu. It was pouring oil into the sea. I was very upset about this, so I managed to call the ship and shouted, “Stop at once and follow us back to the shore!” But PSS Pollu tried to escape.

Eight – year – old Jesse Abrogate was playing in the sea late one evening in July 2001 when a 7-foot bull shark attacked him and tore off his arm. Jesse’s uncle jumped into the sea and dragged the boy to shore. The boy was not breathing. His aunt gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) while his uncle rang the emergency services. Pretty soon, a helicopter arrived and flew the boy to hospital. It was a much quicker journey than the journey by road.

Jesse’s uncle, Vance Folsenzier, ran back into to the sea and found the shark that had attacked his nephew. He picked the shark up and threw it onto the beach. A coastguard shot the fish four times and although this did not kill it, the shark’s jaws relaxed so that they could open them, and reach down into its stomach, and pull out the boy’s arm.

At the Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Dr. Ian Rogers spent eleven hours reattaching Jesse’s arm. “It was a complicated operation,” he said, “but we were lucky. If the arm hadn’t been recovered in time, we wouldn’t have been able to do the operation at all. What I mean is that if they hadn’t found the shark, well then we wouldn’t have had a chance.’

According to local park ranger Jack Tomosvic, shark attacks are not that common. “Jesse was just unlucky,” he says, “evening is the shark’s feeding time. And Jesse was in area without lifeguards. This would never have happened if he had been in area where swimming is allowed.’

When reporters asked Jesse’s uncle how he had had the courage to fight a shark, he replied, “I was mad and you do some strange things when you’re mad.”

1.What was the boy doing when the accident happened?

A．Feeding a hungry shark.      B．Jumping into the rough sea.

C．Dragging a boy to the shore. D．Swimming in a dangerous area.

2.In which way did the boy’s uncle help with the operation?

A．By finding his lost arm.     B．By shooting the fish.

C．By flying him to hospital.       D．By blowing into his mouth.

3.How was his uncle in time of danger?

A．Careful. B．Brave.   C．Optimistic.  D．Patient.

4.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?

A.  Jesse’s uncle was mad.

B.  Jesse was playing in area where swimming is allowed.

C.  It was very difficult for the doctor to reattach Jesse’s arm.

D.  Evening is the shark’s feeding time.

When Major Mary Jennings Hegar was serving as a captain in Afghanistan, her aircraft was shot down by enemy fire while she and her crew were taking back injured soldiers. Though injured, she completed the rescue mission (任务) while under fire on the ground and received the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross for “outstanding heroism and selfless devotion to duty.”

However, Hegar did not get prizes for serving in combat (战斗), for it is illegal for women to be in official combat(作战) positions and to get the benefits that come with them. Hegar and three other service women filed a lawsuit(诉讼) in federal court in San Fransico on Nov. 27 in a long-overdue challenge to the Pentagon's (五角大楼) ban.

Many military women who constitute 14% of the 1.4 million active members of the military object to the policy because it stops them from applying for some 238,000 jobs and excludes (排除) them from certain promotions. It is particularly unfair because it doesn't protect women in service. Fully 85% of women, who have served since Sept.11, report having served in a combat zone or an area where they were faced with combat or immediate danger according to the lawsuit, and half reported being involved in combat operations. At least 860 female troops have been wounded and 144 killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

The ban does another bad thing: drive talented women out of service. Hegar says she is asked to leave the Air National Guard for a Reserve Liaison position because she is excluded(不包括，排除) from jobs she would like to apply for. Another woman who is suing, Captain Alexandra Zoe Bedell who was sent twice to Afghanistan, left active duty last year, because of the combat exclusion policy.

It is hard to see how the Pentagon could meet this burden. Clearly, women are capable of taking challenging, dangerous combat assignment, because as the careers of Hegar and others like her have shown they are doing it now. The Pentagon's policy is based on “outdated idea of women”, just the sort of thing the Constitution forbids.

But the Pentagon should not wait for the courts to order it to treat female service members equally. There can be little doubt that a court will eventually do just that and little doubt that, in the very near future, the no-combat rule, like the racial segregation (隔离) of troops and “Don't ask, don’t tell,” will seem like an ancient relic (遗物) of unenlightened (愚昧无知的) times.

1.What can we know about Major Mary Jennings Hegar from the first paragraph?

A. She failed in the rescue mission.

B. Her deeds were awarded by authorities

C. While taking back the injured soldiers some crew died.

D. When she was serving as a captain her aircraft crashed.

2.The underlined word “constitute” in the fourth paragraph means_______ .

A. take up　　　 B. make up　　　 C. set up　　　 D. build up

3. Many military women objected to the policy mainly because _______ .

A. it had an effect on women’s rights

B. it was unfair to protect women in service

C. it prevented them from some jobs and promotions

D. it was opposed to women’s volunteering for combat

4.What does the writer want to tell us in the last two paragraphs?

A. Pentagon should stop the ban immediately.

B. Pentagon will not obey the court's decision.

C. Pentagon should have more women soldiers.

D. The public should be patient with the Pentagon.
