A Magical Experience

One hot August afternoon, Deena Hoagland and her son Joe sat on a floating platform at Dolphins Plus, a marine（海洋）center near their home in Florida. Nearby, a large, powerful, six-hundred-pound dolphin circled to study the mother and her child. Suddenly, it splashed the Hoaglands with water. That is when something amazing happened. Three-year-old Joe Hoagland smiled. Sitting with Joe on her lap, Deena smiled, too, as her heart leapt with joy. It was the first sign of hope she had seen in Joe since his stroke（中風）six weeks earlier.

Joe Hoagland was born with a rare heart condition that had forced him to spend much of his first three years of life in hospitals. After a series of open-heart surgeries, Joe seemed to be doing better, but the last surgery on his heart resulted in a stroke, which left him unable to move one side and to see out of one eye.

Worse still, the spirit of the child, who had bravely battled his illness until then was seemingly broken. Afraid of his doctors and unwilling to participate in efforts at physical therapy（治療）, Joe grew listless, losing interest even in his favorite toys.

Having heard of a new therapeutic approach termed “dolphin-assisted therapy,” Deena phoned Dolphins Plus and asked permission to bring her son along. There Joe met Fonzie, the playful dolphin. With each passing visit, Joe seemed to make more progress. Before long, he was regaining some movement on his left side. Dolphins Plus trainers urged Joe to get into the water and swim with his new friend. Joe, however, was reluctant. Gradually, though, Joe became more comfortable with the large dolphin, and by mid-September, Joe was swimming with his friends.

Over the next two years, Joe fully recovered from the paralysis and partial blindness that his doctors thought irreversible. Now a healthy, active teenager, Joe lives a life similar to any of his friends. He visits and swims frequently with his friend Fonzie and helps his parent with Island Dolphin Care. Deena started Island Dolphin Care to work with Dolphins Plus to share the benefits of dolphin therapy with other special-needs children and their parents.

41．Deena Hoagland smiled when Fonzie splashed Joe with water because             .

A．the dolphin’s action is amazing             B．Joe’s reaction brought her hope

C．she was affected by Joe’s joy               D．she realized Joe recovered

42．Paragraph 2-4 are written to           .

A．expose the dangers of strokes

B．identify the problems Joe faced

C．describe Joe’s recovery from beginning to end

D．show readers the process of “dolphin-assisted therapy”

43．What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 3?

A．a(chǎn)ngry and inflexible                        B．more mature and silent

C．lacking energy and concern                  D．cautious and shy

44. Which statement about Joe is Not True?

A. Joe received several surgeries on the heart when he was a little child.

B. Joe was the first one to receive dolphin-assisted therapy.

C. Doctors used to think that Joe could not recover.

D. Now Joe worked with his parents in the Island Dolphin Care.

45．We may conclude from the passage that            .

A．dolphin therapy has helped many children to improve their lives

B．Joe recovered faster because of his desire to live with Fonzie

C．doctors’ mistake during his surgeries brought Joe great pain

D．his mother’s company contributes greatly to Joe’s recovery

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow(烏鴉) landed on their window.

   The father asked his son, “What is that?”

   The son replied, “That is a crow.”

   After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is that?”

   The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It is a crow.”

After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?”

This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already. ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this?”

A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page:

Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son.

If you parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, “I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will take care of my old parents in the BEST way no matter how they behave.”

3..

 We can know that the father wrote this diary at the age of ______.

   A. eighty             B. forty-give          C. thirty-eight         D. thirty-five

4..

 The old man brought out the diary, which he had kept since his son was born, because ___.

   A. he forgot what had happened        B. he would like his son to read it

   C. it could remind himself of the past    D. he wanted to find what a crow was in his diary
