　　I'll be a photographer．I'm going to bring bits of Australia back home with me．I told myself this before, yet I feel so doubtful on this plane that's flying me thousands of miles away．I was so confident yesterday．But today I don't belong to this plane where men sit with briefcases reading newspapers．They're all adults．

　　I've never been out of the US．And now ,I'm traveling into Australia alone, a world I know nothing about．A part of me recognizes it as home．

　　I remember little about my mother, but I remember she had an Australian accent and golden hair．She wan fun and she would often take us to New Jersey beaches, where we would spend the whole day taking walks along the shore．My mom told me that in Australia, Christmas was always spent on the beach with friends and family, and everyone wore Santa hat with their bathing suits．It never got cold and bitter there．My mom was different and I was proud of her．

　　I don't know how she met my father．but after they met several years, they got married and moved into an apartment in New Jersey．Then I was born and we were a perfect family of three who went out to dinner and watched movies in the dark and loved each other．

　　I know things have been hard on my father since my Mom died years ago．It's hard for me, too, and I have to experience the wonderful place my mom grew up in and loved．My mom talked about Australia so much and now I have to see this place．

　　This is an adventure．

阅读理解

　　When Laura reached school-going age the discussions about moving became more urgent (紧迫的). Her father did not want the children to go to school with the village children and for once her mother agreed with him. Not because, as he said, they ought to have a better education than they could get at Lark Rise; but because she feared they would tear their clothes and catch cold and get dirty heads going a mile and a half to and from the school in the village. So empty cottages in the market town were examined and often it seemed that the next week or the next month they would be leaving Lark Rise for ever, but again each time something would happen to prevent the removal, and gradually a new idea came up. To gain time, their father would teach the two eldest children to read and write, so that, if asked by the School Attendance Office, their mother could say they were leaving the small village shortly, and in the meantime, were being taught at home.

　　So their father brought home two copies of Mavor's First Reader and taught them the alphabet; but just as Laura was beginning on words of one syllable (音节), He was sent away to work on a distant job, only corning home at weekends. Laura, left at the c-a-t s-I-t-s on the m-a-t's stage, then had to carry her book round after her mother as she went about her housework, asking,“Please, Mother, what does h-o-u-s-a spell?”or“W-a-l-k, Mother, what is that?”

　　Often when her mother was too busy or too tired to attend to her, she would sit and fix her eyes on a page that might as well have been printed in Hebrew (希伯来语) for all she could make of it, frowning (锁眉) and studying the print as though she would make out the meaning by force of concentration (专注).

　　After weeks of this, there came a day when, quite suddenly, as it seemed to her, the printed characters took on a meaning. There were still many words, even in the first page of that simple book, she could not understand; but she could jump those and make sense of the whole.“I'm reading! I'm reading!” she cried aloud.“Oh, Mother! Oh, Edmund! I'm reading!”

1．Laura's father didn't want his children to go to school at Lark Rise because ________.

[　　]

A．it was too far away

B．they couldn't learn enough

C．their hair would become dirty

D．they would ruin their clothes

2．The children's father decided to teach them to read and write so that they ________.

[　　]

A．had an excuse not to have to move

B．had a reason for not attending school

C．could write to the School Attendance Office

D．would be educated before they left the village

3．The underlined part “left at the c-a-t s-I-t-s on the m-a-t's stage”means that ________.

[　　]

A．Laura was working hard and learning quickly

B．her father had no time to teach her

C．her mother was too busy to attend to her

D．Laura knew little about how to read and write

4．From the passage we can infer that ________ made Laura stare at a page in her book.

[　　]

A．her lack of concentration

B．her inability to understand

C．her need to understand Hebrew

D．her determination to understand

5．Laura finally discovered she could read when she ________.

[　　]

A．understood the main idea

B．understood all the words in her book

C．recognized the printed characters

D．jumped the first pages of her book

　　“Dr Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?”

　　The usual laughter followed, and people stirred(骚动)to go．Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was．

　　“I will answer your question．”

　　Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter．And what he said went like this：

　　“When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village．”One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror．A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place．

　　I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece．This one and by scratching it on a stone, I made it round．I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine-in deep holes and crevices(裂缝)and dark closets．It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find．

　　I kept the little mirror and as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game．As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child's game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life．I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light．But light-truth, understanding, knowledge-is there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it．

　　I am a fragment(碎片)of a mirror whose whole design and shape l do not know．Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world into the black places in the hearts of men and change some things in some people．Perhaps others may see and do likewise．This is what I am about．This is the meaning of my life．

(1)

On hearing the author's question, Dr．Papedotes ________ at first．
[　　]
A．	laughed at his foolishness
B．	doubted his seriousness
C．	wasn't sure of the answer
D．	wasn't interested at all

(2)

How did Dr Papaderos get the small round mirror when he was a child?
[　　]
A．	He found it on the road and made it round．
B．	A dying German soldier gave him as a present．
C．	He chanced to find it in the street while playing．
D．	He put the broken pieces together and made it．

(3)

Why did Dr Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child?
[　　]
A．	Because it could shine the places where the sun couldn't reach．
B．	Because he was too poor to afford other toys．
C．	Because he believed it would bring good luck to him．
D．	Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him．

(4)

The underlined“metaphor”in the 7th paragraph most probably means ________．
[　　]
A．	purpose
B．	source
C．	light
D．	symbol

(5)

Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
[　　]
A．	The Meaning of Life
B．	A Broken Piece of Mirror
C．	Dr Papaderos' Experience
D．	A Special Game in the Childhood

　　At a garage, the mechanic promised our Mercury Sable would be repaired by the next week．Meanwhile, John tried to find us a rental car．After many phone calls, John finally found a car．Luckily, our auto club would pick up the tab．We ended up arriving there three hours behind schedule．We tried every ride and met Mickey．

　　At the end of the long weekend we called the garage to check on our car．It turned out that the mechanic hadn't even looked at it yet!

　　We ended up spending only ＄50 more than we'd budgeted．The next week, our car was back, and I had a new understanding of dealing with trouble．Whatever happens, if you never give up, a good solution will come out at last．
