John was part of my childhood growing up in the 1970s and a link to sunny, fun-filled days spent on the beach at Bangor in Northern Ireland where we went for our summer holidays. To many, he was a mystery. Every afternoon John would wander to the end of the pier (码头) where he fed the seagulls and delighted in the sound of their excited cries as they flew around his head.

Often I asked my family questions regarding John. Eventually I gave up as no one could tell me anything about him. As I grew up, my visits to the beach became less frequent, and my memories of John buried in a child’s imagination.

Last year memories came flooding back as I walked along the coastline, where I noticed a lady feeding the seagulls on the pier, and I decided to introduce myself. Then I came to know that the lady was John’s daughter, and after John left this world she carried out the ritual (惯例), which had held such importance for her father.

In some strange way I felt we shared a bond, each needing to remember. In return, Lucy told me of John’s life, his days in the British Navy (海军) during World War I and how he almost lost hope when his ship was attacked by a German U-boat in the North Sea and he found himself in a lifeboat with five others.

Close to death, he thought he heard the sound of wings. He put up his hands, only to catch a seagull that had landed on the side of the boat. The seagull saved the lives of the six men as it was used to catch fish, which kept them alive until they reached land. This period of John’s life was one he never talked about. But the ritual he first performed as a young man remained a part of him until he died.

　　　 Now I visit Lucy as often as I can, just to chat or very often walk along the beach to the pier end. We enjoy the comfortable silence, each lost in special memories.

1.Seeing John feeding the seagulls, the author might feel _____.

A. proud　　　 B. worried

C. curious D. guilty

2. Why did the author introduce herself to the lady?

A. She wanted to make more friends.

B. She was also fond of feeding seagulls.

C. She was told the lady was John’s daughter.

D. She was attracted by what the lady was doing.

3. We can infer from the text that John _____.

A. once served in both World Wars

B. was a man with a grateful heart

C. spent his childhood in Bangor

D. joined the navy in the 1970s

4.What does the author mainly tell us in the text?

A. She expressed her thanks to a seagull that saved her life.

B. She told us the story of how she made friends with a lady.

C. She shared with us her memories of a man who fed seagulls.

D. She talked about her childhood spent on the beach at Bangor.

The moment I was born, I seemed to be part of a set, as if my twin brother David and I were a package deal. We faced constant comparisons in our physical appearance. People were always comparing our personalities and academic performances as well! These constant comparisons made me decide not to go to the same university as my twin brother.

That is not to say we didn’t have good academic experiences in the past or didn’t get along. In eleventh grade, we were placed in the same math experimental class. I recall arriving early to the first class and being a bit disappointed when I saw David already seated at his desk. It is hard to avoid comparisons when we were in the same class. However, we found that we actually worked well together, in our own way. We would argue about the best way to solve a problem and debate its answer. As the year went on, I noticed that our teacher kept moving us closer and closer together. Our argument was actually productive.

However, we were two very different candidates. I was very involved in extracurricular(课 外的) activities, while David had better test scores than I did. I’m fond of writing while David enjoys playing computer games. I am currently studying English and French at McGill University, while David is studying computer science at Union College.

Besides escaping comparisons, there have been other benefits to going to different universities. The first one is that we are forced to talk to each other, as we no longer see each other every day. This is healthier for our relationship. The second, also the more important one, is that after having so many similar experiences together we can have our own experiences separate from one another.

Going to a different university has benefited me thus far. It allows for more personal growth, and I’m not attached to the label of being a twin.

1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A.Why Do People Like to Compare Me with My Twin Brother?

B.Why Am I Choosing a Different University with My Twin Brother?

C.What Are Some Main Benefits of Being Twin Brothers at School?

D.How Can Twin Brothers Get Along Well with Each Other at School?

2.What can be inferred about the author?

A.He was fed up with people’s comparisons.

B.He was glad to hear people’s comparisons.

C.He is more handsome than David.

D.He was better at academic subjects than David.

3.What does the author think of him and David studying in the same math experimental class?

A.Boring. B.Harmful. C.Awful. D.Beneficial.

4.The author chose to go to a different university in order to ________.

A.avoid seeing David B.escape arguing with David

C.pursue a different experience D.strengthen bonds with David
