Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel (吵架) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave.

The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”

“Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied.

“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.”

The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.

“What is it?” asked the man kindly.

“Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”

Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”

Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?”

On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

7 . I try to be a good father. Cook my kids good dishes, and take them to photo shoots. But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck. Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, in marathons.

This love story began in Winchester Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled (缠住) by the umbilical cord (脐带) during birth, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs (四肢). “He’ll be a vegetable (植物人) the rest of his life,” doctors told Dick and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. “Put him in an institution.” But the Hoyts weren’t buying it. They noticed the way Rick’s eyes followed them around the room.

When Rick was 11, they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University. Equipped with a computer, Rick was finally able to communicate. After a high school classmate was paralyzed (使瘫痪) in an accident, and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick said, “Dad, I want to do that.” How was Dick, a man who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,” he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled anymore!”

That sentence changed Dick’s life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. They even decided to try marathons. “No way,” Dick was told by a race official. They weren’t quite a single runner, and they weren’t quite a wheelchair competitor. For a few years, Dick and Rick joined the massive field and ran anyway. In 1983, they ran another marathon so fast that they made the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon the following year.

Now they’ve done 212 triathlons and 85 marathons. “My dad is the Father of the Century,” Rick typed.

1. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?

A．The Hoyts didn’t believe it was true.

B．The Hoyts couldn’t afford any institution.

C．The Hoyts couldn’t deal with the situation.

D．The Hoyts had no money for their son’s treatment.

2. What’s discussed in the third paragraph?

A．Why Rick became paralyzed.	B．How Rick started running.
C．Why running changed Rick’s life.	D．How Rick communicated with others.

3. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．A boy with a rare disease	B．The greatest dad in the world
C．A tough road to marathons	D．Parents’ influence on children’s life

8 . My father never kept anything for emotional purpose—except once. I was the only one in my family who cared about baseball and I always _______ watching my favorite players at Yankee Stadium. One winter, I wrote down a _______ of the summer dates and dreamed every night. To my surprise, one evening I saw my father examine it before going out to work.

The following Sunday, he told me, “Let’s put away some money into a _______ each week, and maybe we can go to Yankee Stadium this summer.” I immediately washed out a jar and _______a label: YANKEE STADIUM FUND, 1960.

Each of us _______ to the jar weekly. _______, we still hadn’t gone to a game because my father had to work every Saturday. So one day, I _______ him of the remaining time, and then he _______ me, “Don’t worry and we’ll have a free Saturday.”

On the morning of the last game, I sat waiting hopelessly with no reply of my father who had been to work suddenly appeared and yelled, “I got two tickets!”

I could hardly _______ when we finally sat together, father and son, ________ my New York Yankees. I sat cheering but for my father, all I could see is a face ________ tiredness from working all week.

10 . In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.

“I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.”

I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said.

My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and said in a proud tune, “I’m the only person she talked to today.”

It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.

1. What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors?

A．To know what they eat.	B．To ask for some cookies and pudding.
C．To relieve their loneliness.	D．To teach them how to make dessert.

2. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Hurt your hearing	B．Blame other’s behaviors
C．Miss important information	D．Speak all the time

3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．The author started to telephone seniors as her mother

B．The author realized the value of her mother

C．The author’s mother preferred to live alone

D．The author’s mother still keeps connected with the seniors

4. What is the best title for the passage?

A．Seniors blessing	B．A new project
C．Nightly calls, lifeline calls	D．Call your parents often
