     Our house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.
We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to out-patients at the clinic.
     One summer evening as I was fixing supper, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly
awful looking man-no taller than my eight-year-old son-I thought as I stared at the shriveled (皺縮的) body.
But the shocking thing was his face-twisted from swelling.
     He told me he'd been hunting for a room since noon but with no success." I guess it's my face…, but my
doctor says with a few more treatments …"
     I told him we would find him a bed. When I had finished the dishes, he told me he fished for a living to
support his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who was hopelessly disabled from a back injury.
He didn't tell it by way of complaint; in fact, every other sentence began with a thanks to God for a blessing.
He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was apparently a form of skin cancer.
      The next morning before he left for his bus, he asked if he could come back and stay the next time he
had a treatment. I told him he was welcome to come again.
     In the years he came to stay overnight with us, there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or
oysters or vegetables from his garden.
     When I received these little gifts, I often thought of a comment our next-door neighbor made after he left
that first morning." Did you keep that awful looking man last night? I turned him away. You can lose roomers
by accommodating such people!"
     Maybe we did lose roomers once or twice. But oh! If only they could have known him, perhaps their
illnesses would have been easier to bear. I know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from
him we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.
1. The first time I met the man, _____.
A. I felt pity for his look
B. he frightened my kid
C. he was in need of something to eat
D. he was looking for a place to stay overnight
2. The next-door neighbor refused the man because _____.
A. he might lose roomers
B. the man was poor
C. he had no spare room
D. the man didn't bring him gifts
3. Which of the following is NOT true about the man?
A. He developed skin cancer.
B. He fished to support a large family.
C. God helped him to get over his disease.
D. He didn't complain about his sufferings.
4. What attitude did the man have toward life?
A. Grateful.
B. Confident.
C. Regretful.
D. Passive.
5. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Never judge a book by its cover
B. Give others a hand
C. Be the architect of life
D. Accept good and bad with gratitude

閱讀理解

Li Lu’ou thought he did the right thing by calling 110 when he saw his two classmates in trouble on the corner of a dark street.

Li and his classmates from No.2 Middle School affiliated to Beijing Normal University spent this year’s Valentine’s Day(情人節(jié)) selling roses on the street. As night approached, they cycled back with over 200 yuan in their pockets.

Suddenly, a gang of robbers jumped out at them. The five robbers were tall and strong, so Li ran away to call the police. He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and he was right. His classmates returned safe and sound.

So, what would you have done in Li’s situation? Would you have got off your bike and fought the robbers to rescue your friends?

A new Beijing student code(守則) does not encourage you to risk(冒險) your life to help them.

The new code was introduced to more than 1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of the new term.

It has cut words which might encourage youngsters to risk their lives for others in dangerous situations. Gone are the old calls, which had been in place since 1987, for students to “fight criminals(犯罪分子) courageously” and “sacrifice themselves to save other”. Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured or even dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.

A well-known example was Lai Ning, who was listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost his life trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.

The deaths connected to teenagers “heroic acts” started a national wide debate(爭論) about the protection of youngsters.

Wei Lusheng, a parent in Beijing, said schools must first teach children how to protect themselves, before learning from heroes.

But educators thought the spirit of courage should not be thrown away in the new student code.

“Getting rid of the ‘fight criminals courageously’ words do not mean we deny the spirit of ‘fearlessness’ and ‘readiness’ to help others”, said Li Jing, an official in Beijing. “But, we should be more rational(理智的) about the spirit of sacrifice.”

Li Lu’ou agreed. “Cherishing life is no reason to be a coward,” he said. “But you need to おmake sure you are able to offer help. For example, it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someone drowning, but didn’t know how to swim. In that situation it’s better to call the police or an adult.”

1.Which is true about Li and his classmates?

A.　　  They bought roses for each other on Valentine’s Day.

B.　　  They called 110 immediately they were held up by a gang of robbers.

C.　　  Li risked his life for his classmates in the dangerous situation.

D.　　 Instead of fighting the robbers Li thought it right for him to call the police.

2.The new student code was introduced in Beijing because_____________.

A. students are facing more danger than they used to

B.the old student code didn’t include the spirit of courage

C.the old one didn’t tell students how to protect themselves while helping others in trouble

D.the old student code encouraged students to sacrifice themselves to save others

3.Which can be inferred about Lai Ning?

A.　　  He was one of the top 10 model young pioneers in 1987.

B.　　  If it weren’t him, the forest fire would not have been put out.

C.　　  According to the new code, he shouldn’t have risked his life to put out the fire.

D.　　 His deeds did not agree with what the old student code encouraged.

4.The underlined word “deny” in the second last paragraph means “_____________”.

A. agree with　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    B.disagree with

C.connect with　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D.object to

5.According to the new student code which of the following statements is right?

A.　　  There will be more criminals after the new student code was introduced.

B.　　  The police in Beijing will have a more difficult time in keeping order.

C.　　  The spirit of “fearlessness” and “readiness” to help others will be thrown away.

D.  Teenagers are advised to make sure they are able to offer help when they want to.

閱讀理解

　　Two University of Oklahoma scientists are starting research that they hope will someday lead to the development of a vaccine(疫苗)to fight against the HIV Virus, which causes AIDS．

　　The research, to be carried out by Mark Lang, an assistant professor at the OU Health Sciences Center, and microbiologist John West, will examine the basic aspects of the immune system, rather than the complex aspects of the virus．

　　They theorize that if a key function of the body's immune system can be found exactly, it could be the first step toward developing a vaccine．

　　“To develop a new vaccine, we realzed we first have to study and understand the immune system,”Lang said．

　　Lang said their work will focus on researching the basic antibody responses from Natural Killer－like T－cells．A potential vaccine would contain NKT cells and would improve the immune system's antibodies, which fight outside invaders such as HIV by preventing them from entering cells or giving the immune system enough of a boost to kill them．

　　NKT cells, which have been a part of research into cancer and other diseases, have not previously been the focus of HIV research, Lang said．

　　The research will last 18 months, with tests being performed on mice．The Oklahoma Center is giving ＄300,000 toward the research, and if the research proves promising, Lang and West will apply to the National Institutes of Health for more funding．

　　“If we are successful, we will have made an important contribution to the field, but we will still be several steps away from an effective vaccine,”Lang said．

　　Lang said that in a best –case scenario(最好的情況)their research could lead to a vaccine ready for use in about four years．

[　　]
