True heroes are all around us. Some help others, and others are simply good role models. My hero is my brother Thomas.

When Thomas and I were little, we used to go to the playground a lot. Kids would be scared of him and ask, “Is your arm broken?”

Thomas would respond by explaining what happened: he was born without the left arm. If they ran away, he wouldn’t let it bother him.

Thomas is expert at both cross-country(越野跑) and track. He is a 4:46 miler, which with the setback he has makes it an even greater accomplishment. Missing an arm affects his balance, which affects his leg drive. The work he has put in, however, has made up for this. He practices so hard that anything short of success would seem a disappointment.

Thomas used to play baseball like it was a religion. His idol was Jim Abbott, a pitcher(投球) for the California Angels. Abbot was a very good pitcher who only had one arm. “I looked up to Abbott because I saw what I could achieve,” Thomas said. Thomas had a lot of trouble giving up baseball for: track because he felt like he was taking the easy way out, though he liked track more.

One of Thomas’ best friends, Brad, didn't even notice Thomas only had one arm for a few weeks after meeting him. “He carried himself so confidently, so I felt okay admitting that I hadn’t noticed”, said Brad. Not only is Thomas a confident person who is not ashamed of his arm, he is often the center of attention in sports and school.

Thomas seems to have accepted his disability. I see it as more of a difficulty, and difficulties can be overcome. Sometimes, if you try hard enough, you can overcome impossible things. As the great distance runner Steve Prefontaine said, “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.”

1.Which of the following words best describe Thomas?

A.Courageous and modest. B.Determined and religious.

C.Confident and strong-willed. D.Energetic and changeable.

2.Why did Thomas give up baseball for track?

A.Because he had a preference for, track.

B.Because his idol encouraged him to change.

C.Because he thought track was easier for him.

D.Because he couldn't play baseball with single arm.

3.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph is intended to remind us __________

A.giving is receiving. B.nothing is impossible.

C.hard work leaves no regrets. D.difficulties are gifts from God

It is easy to understand the difference between some homophones(同音异形异义词). But other homophones are difficult, even for native English speakers. One set of commonly confusing homophones are the words bear and bare.

Of course, as a noun, a bear is a large, heavy animal with thick hair and sharp claws. But the word bear can also be a verb. It can mean “to accept or get through something,” usually something difficult. The verb bear is often used with the modal verb can and a negation(否定). Using this structure, “cannot bear” sometimes means “strongly dislike.” If you travel to a very cold place in the middle of winter, you might say, “I cannot bear the cold weather.” Bear can also mean “to assume or accept something, such as a cost or responsibility.” For example, “The man must bear full responsibility for his actions.” Bear can also sometimes mean “to carry.” For example, Americans often talk about the “right to bear arms” or the right of citizens to possess a gun. Sometimes, people make jokes about this expression. They replace the meaning of bear in this example with its meaning as a noun. The phrase then means that people have a right to possess a bear’s arm.

Bare is mostly used as an adjective. It means “not having a covering” or “not covered by clothing, shoes or something else.” If you just moved to a new home, the walls could still be bare. And, if you take your shoes and socks off before entering a room, you will have bare feet. As a verb, bare is similar to its adjectival meaning. To bare means “to remove the covering from something.” It can also mean “to show or expose.” For example, an angry animal might bare its teeth. The past tense of bare is bared.

1.What’s the function of the first paragraph?

A.Introducing the homophones.

B.Analyzing the homophones.

C.Introducing the topic of the passage.

D.Telling the differences between bear and bare.

2.How many meanings does the word bear have when it is a verb?

A.3. B.4.

C.5. D.6.

3.What does he want to tell us if someone says he has the right to possess a bear’s arm?

A.He has the right to get an arm of a bear. B.He has the right to sell a bear’s arm.

C.He has the right to kill a bear. D.He has the right to have a gun.

4.What might the animal decide to do when it bares its teeth?

A.It might attack a person.

B.It might show his respect for people.

C.It might want to have a covering.

D.It might remove the covering from its body.
