An elderly couple lived far away from their children. They noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be perilous, as one of them might forget to turn off the stove（火炉）and thus cause a fire. They were so worried that they decided to see their doctor to get some help. Their doctor told them that it was unnecessary to take medicine and that many people of their age found it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders. The elderly couple thought this wonderful, and left the doctor’s office very pleased with the advice.

When they got home, the wife said, “Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why don’t you write that down so you won’t forget?”

“Don’t be silly,” said the husband. “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”

“Well,” said the wife, “I’d also like some strawberries on it. You should write that down, because I know you’ll forget.”

“Come on, my memory’s not that bad,” replied the husband. “A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!”

And with that, the husband shut the kitchen door behind him. The wife could hear him getting out pots and pans, and making some noise, preparing the dish. He came out of the kitchen about 15 minutes later.

Walking over to his wife, he presented her with a plate of fried eggs. The wife took a look at the plate, glanced up at her husband and said, “Hey, where’s the toast？”

A. infectious　 B. dangerous　 C. exciting　 D. amazing

2.The couple was worried about___________.

A. their bad health

B. their lonely life

3.What was the doctor’s advice to the couple?

C. Reminding each other.

D. Asking other elderly people for help.

4.What do we know from the wife’s words in the last paragraph?

Dorothea Shaw is 71 years old and nearly blind, and she chose to live alone far away from people. She lives in Belize — a county the size of Wales with a population only that of Swansea. Her home is at Gales Point, a tiny village which can be reached only by sea or air; after a 10-mile walk into the hills one finally reaches a piece of land and two small houses so hidden in the thick over-grown forest that only a handful of people know Dorothea is there.

She lives happily and totally alone – growing her vegetables, looking after her trees and dogs, cats and chickens. Once a month or so an old friend passes by with her food supplies and letters-usually including a letter from her sister in Scunthorpe and some bits of clothing from friends in Canada. Sometimes a local man will come and cut wood for her and a group of British soldiers will come across her and be greeted with the offer of a cup of coffee.

At night she lies in her tiny sleeping room with the dogs on the floor, the cats on the table near the typewriter and one of the hens settled down in a corner of the bookshelf, and listens for hours to any Spanish, English, German or French broadcasts she can find on her radio. Sometimes she gets lonely but most of the time the animals and the radio are company enough.

But recently the very things that she had tried to get free from so well have begun to catch up with her. The peace of the forest has been destroyed by the noise of earth-moving machines not many miles away. What she once only heard of distantly on the radio is now on her doorstep. Things began to change three years ago. The new main north-south road in Belize was cut through the forest only four or five miles away. “Now more people know I’m here.” She says. “I feel more and more uneasy each day.”

1.Dorothea’s small houses ________.

2.Dorothea lives in the tiny village because ________.

3. Dorothea doesn’t get lonely since she has _______ with her.

4.Dorothea spends a lot of time __________.

I’m an ocean lover. Living in Montreal, far away from the ocean, makes it even more a dreamland for me. 1. And I’ve been doing it for the last 20 years.

When I was younger, I would pick up seashells and little stones and bring them back home. 2. But as I visited the ocean more and more, I started picking up the garbage left by some polluting people. I picked up less and less “ocean treasure”. 3.

I realized that a stone or seashell we find in the ocean has a wonderful color that makes us pick it up. But when it dries up one day, or we don’t find what we have kept lovely anymore, what can we do then? 4. At the same time, I also realized that natural things are nice in their natural environment. If everybody picked up every shell from the ocean, and left garbage out there, the beach would become something not so nice very shortly.

5. I would just “borrow” seashells or little stones from the ocean, and bring them back after a while, since the beauty of shells does so much good to me.

I control the quantity and keep it to the smallest number. So if you’ve seen a lady picking up garbage and throwing shells back into the ocean from a box or a bag on a beautiful sunny day, don’t feel strange. It was probably me.

A. So I made a decision that day.

B. I began to question my habits.

C. I try to visit it at the very least, once a year.

D. I will regret why I picked it up in the first place.

E. I had lots of them on my shelves, floors, desks, etc.

F. The ocean influences life in California in many ways.

G. Ocean lovers from all walks of life should come together to protect it.
