Sydney—Mobile phone has become a problem for middle schools. Some middle schools in Australia have banned students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.

Mobile phone use among children has become a problem for the school this year. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas gifts, and more students want them.

Mary Bluett, an official, said mobile phone use is a distraction (分心的事) to students during school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat during exams.

She said some schools had tried to ban mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy because they couldn’t get in touch with their children.

Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school, but if there was a good reason, they could leave their phones at school offices. They also said there were many reasons why the students should not have mobile phones at school: they were easy to lose and were a distraction from studies.

Many people say that they understand why parents would want their children to have phones, but they think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones.

60. Some middle schools in Australia have banned students from carrying mobile phones________.

   A. because they are students                     B. when they are free

   C. when they are at school                      D. because they are young

   A. the makers and sellers                       B. some other strangers

62. Some parents felt unhappy because they couldn’t _______ during school hours.

   A. use their mobile phones                      B. leave their mobile phones

   C. help the teachers with their work              D. get in touch with their children

    My father’s family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could

 make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to

be called Pip.

As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first imagination regarding what they were like, were unreasonably from their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father’s gave me a strange idea that he was a square, dark man , with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the words, “Also Georgiana Wife of the Above,” I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled（長雀斑的）and sickly.

Ours was wet country, down by the river, within, as the river wound, twenty miles of the sea. My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things, seems to me to have been gained on an unforgettable cold afternoon towards evening. At such a time I found out for certain, that this place overgrown with nettles（蕁麻）was the churchyard（墓地）;and that Philip Pirip, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried; and that Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children to the aforesaid, were also dead and buried. Suddenly I began to feel lonely and sad and afraid. I began to cry.

   "Hold your noise!" cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. "Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat!"

A fearful man, all in grey, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head. A man who had been shivered; and whose teeth chattered in his head as he seized me by the chin.

   "Oh! Don't cut my throat, sir," I pleaded in terror. "Pray don't do it, sir."

    "Tell us your name!" said the man.  "Quick!"

    "Pip, sir."

    "Once more," said the man, staring at me.  "Give it mouth!"

    "Pip. Pip, sir."

    “Show us where you live ,” said the man. “Point out the place!”

    I pointed to where our village lay, among the alder-tree, a mile or more from the church. The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned mw upside down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a  piece of bread. When the church came to itself—for he was so sudden and strong that he made to go head over heels before me, and I saw the steeple（尖塔）under my feet—when the church came to itself, I say, I was seated on a high tombstone, trembling, while he ate the bread hungrily.

    “You young dog,” said the man, licking his lips, “what fat cheeks you have got.”

    I believe they were fat, though I was at that time undersized for my years, and not strong.

    “Darn me If I couldn’t eat them,” said the man, with a threatening shake of his head.

    I carefully expressed my hope that he wouldn’t, and held tighter to the tombstone on which he had put me; partly, to keep myself upon it; partly, to keep myself from crying.

    “Now look here!” said the man. “Where’s your father?”

    “There sir!” said I .

    He started, made a short run, and stopped and liked over his shoulder.

“There sir!” I explained. “That’s his grave.”

“Oh!” said he, coming back.

“And mother’s there too, sir. And my five little brothers.”

67．Who do you think Alexander is?

       A．Pip’s friend.                     B．Pip’s father.

       C．One of Pip’s little brothers.     D．The fearful man.

68．It can be learned from the passage that               .

       B．Pip imagined what his parents liked through their photographs.

       C．Pip’s parents and little brothers were killed by the man.

       D．Pip was probably shorter or thinner than most children of his age.

69．What is the fearful man most likely to be?

       A．An escaped prisoner.       B．A minister of the church.

       C．A tower watcher.            D．Pip’s parents’ enemy.

70．Which of the following is right according to the passage?

       A．It was the words on the tombstones that made mw know of my parents’ appearance.

       B．The man was so hungry that he wanted to cut his throat and eat his fat cheeks.

       C．Pip’s parents were buried together in the churchyard 20 miles from the village.

       D．He called himself Pip just because he was too young to pronounce his long name clearly.

Just ten years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor with a serious look. “Yes,” he said, “there is a serious injury in the left lung…” I listened, too  21  to speak, as he continued, “You’ll have to  22  work at once and go to bed. Later on, we’ll see.” He gave no definite promise of recovery.

Feeling like a man who has suddenly been placed under  23  of death. In the next three days, I   24  my affairs; then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes,   25  the months. Two and a half years and many crashed hopes later, I left my bed and began the long  26  back. It was another year before I made it.

I speak of this experience because these years that passed so  27  taught me what to believe and what to  28  . They said to me: Take time,   29  time takes you. I realize now that this world I’m living in is not my oyster（牡蠣）to be opened but my opportunity to be  30  . To me, each day is such a   31  gift. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand new, wonderful hours—not to pass, but to  32  .

I’ve learned to  33  those little but all-important things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on  34  water, the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree. I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered  35   of childhood. I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed. It was like  36  one’s citizenship in a world one had nearly lost.   37  ,I sit back and say to myself, let me make a   38  of this moment I’m living right now. All this, I owe to that long time spent on the deadlines of life. Wiser people come to this awareness  39  having to acquire it the hard way. But I wasn’t wise enough. I’m   40  now, a little, and happier.
