    Tomorrow evening I will be interviewed on stage by a museum official. I will be an interpreter, talking from experience as a disability rights lawyer and activist.
    In “special” schools and camps for children with physical and mental disabilities, I grew up knowing we were a category of person that the world did not want. Most of us had a story of some doctor advising our parents to put up away or to let us die. We owed our survival to parents who had irrationally(不理性地) bonded with us. We knew we were lucky and hoped our luck would hold. To increase the chance of surviving, we tended to be charming. We developed thick skins.
    By the time I roll onto the stage the next night, I’ve thought a lot about there and here, then and now. When the first question comes, I tell them about my fascination with the wheelchair, and somehow it sounds funny, and laughter fills the room. We talk from the horror of Nazis killing (Nazis once killed the disabled patients as useless) to a funny confession that I, too, tend to stare at disabled people on the street.
    What has come over me? In this room, people with disabilities in thrilling variety make me feel at home. Here people, disabled and not, are gathered by choice.
    I haven’t forgotten that 2 million people remain in US disability institutions, that some disabled children still cannot attend mainstream schools, that too many of us live in poverty. But I can’t hold onto anger and sorrow for I feel a shared sense of possibility, a drive for a world that will embrace both the fit and the unfit and hold them so dear that the division dies.

    Thid is a true story of a mother’s sacrifice(牺牲) in an earthquake.
    When the rescuer reached the ruins of a young man’s house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. Her pose was somehow strange—she knelt(跪) on the ground like a person who was worshiping(祷告);her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supported by an object. However, the cold and stiff body told them that she had passed away for sure.
    The rescuers left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reason, the team leader was driven by a strong force to go back to the ruined house. Again, he knelt down to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement, “A child! There is a child1”
    The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3-month-old little boy wrapped in a blanket under his mother’s dead body. Obviously, the woman had made great sacrifice in order to save her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.
    A doctor came quickly to examine the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cellphone inside the blanket.There was a text massage on the screen. It said, “If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Everybody that read the massage cried

    A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside. “Your son is here,”she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the patient’s eyes opened.
    Heavily drugged with sleep because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly(隐约) saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out with his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man’s weak ones, expressing a message of love and encouragement. The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed.
    All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward(病房), holding the old man’s hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest a while. He refused. Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only holding tightly to his son all through the night. Along towards dawn, the old man died.
    The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.
    Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.“Who was that man?”he asked. The nurse was surprised. “He was your father,”she answered. “No, he wasn’t,”the Marine replied. “I never saw him before in my life.”“Then why didn’t you say something when I took you to him?”asked the nurse. “I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn’t here. When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.”he answered.
    小题1:Why did the nurse take the Marine to the old man’s bed?
    A．Because he was the old man’s son.
    B．Because she knew that he was a warm-hearted man.
    C．Because she couldn’t find anyone else there.
    D．Because she thought he was the old man’s son.
    小题2:Why did the old man hold the Marine’s hand all through the night?
    A．Because he knew he would die the next day.
    B．Because he hadn’t seen his son for a long time.
    C．Because he was dying and mistook him for his son.
    D．Because he enjoyed doing that and so did the Marine.
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．The Marine didn’t know the old man at all.
    B．The nurse was careless and made a mistake.
    C．The Marine happened to be the old man’s son’s friend.
    D．The old man passed away peacefully and contentedly.
    小题4:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．The next time someone needs you, be there.
    B．All the soldiers are as kind as the Marine.
    C．We’d better not correct someone else’s mistakes.
    D．The young should accompany their parents all the time.

    My son. The phrase felt difficult and strange the first time I said it, and I had to practice it a thousand times． I started saying the words to myself the day when the ultrasound told me we were having a baby．
    Finally, my son was born.
    The nurse came out of the delivery room, holding a tiny, howling human being wrapped in a white sheet, his small hands and delicate fingers shaking nervously. “Baby Sanchez?” she asked, looking at the room full of expectant fathers.
    I stood up, holding my breath． She showed me my baby． “My son,” I whispered. The little guy screamed, “waaaaaaaaaah.”
    But in my heart I heard him cry out, “Daaaaaaad!” I don’t care if everyone in the room will swear they didn’t hear my baby say that. I called him, “My son,” and he called me “Dad,” and that’s that.
    People ask me, “What did you feel at that moment?” I can’t even begin to answer. I’m a writer yet I try hard to find the right words. Joyful isn’t powerful enough. Bliss(狂喜) is not sweet enough. Peaceful isn’t calm enough. Happy isn’t tense enough.
    After my son was taken away to the nursery, I sat down and shut my eyes. But tears escaped them away. Then out of the blue, my 80-year-old father entered, and we embraced.
    “Dad,” I whispered.
    “My son,” my heart heard him saying.
    Suddenly the past 33 years folded into the present and I was now the baby bundled in white, with my father standing over me.
    “My son,” I imagined him saying.
    “Daaaaaaaaaad!” I cried my little lungs out.
    At that point, I knew I was going to be a great father. The old man in front of me seemed to agree. He smiled and we walked out of the room in search of the tiny human being that would change our lives for ever.
    小题1:Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．His son called him “Dad” when the writer called him “My son”．
    B．All the people didn’t hear the baby say except the writer．
    C．Sanchez is the writer’s family name．
    D．The baby was taken away because the nurse found there was a mistake．
    小题2:The author couldn’t tell how he felt at the moment because ________．
    A．he was a writer
    B．he was too excited
    C．he was too nervous
    D．it’s a feeling too complex to express
    小题3:We can learn the following from the passage EXCEPT that ________．
    A．the author got his first baby
    B．he probably had a lung disease
    C．the author didn’t really hear “Daaaaad” from his baby
    D．the baby would change the author’s life
    小题4:Why was the writer sure he was going to be a great father?
    A．Because his son is so gifted．
    B．Because he had much experience in bringing up children．
    C．Because his father promised to help him．
    D．Because his father had already set him a good example．

    The differences between men and women's friendships
    Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles (困扰) old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they're still sitting on the sofa and talking?
    What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that women have so much to share.
    Betty shrugs. Talk? We're friends.
    Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men. Rubin's study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to a female friend.
    "In general," writes Rubin in her new book, "women's friendships with each other lie on shared emotions and support, but men's relationships are marked by shared activities.”
    “ Men keep their innermost(内心深处的) feelings to themselves. " Rubin writes, " Whereas(然而) a woman's closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage. However, a man by society doesn’t complain about his marriage trouble. it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa. "
    小题1:What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that ________.
    A．he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband
    B．women have so much to share.
    C．women show little interest in ballgames

    小题2:Rubin's study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to _________.
    A．a male friendB．a female friend
    C．her parentsD．her husband
    小题3:What do women's friendships with each other lie on in general?
    A．shared emotionsB．support
    C．shared activitiesD．shared emotions and support
    小题4:According to the last paragraph, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society?
    A．Ending his marriage without good reason.
    B．Spending too much time with his friends.
