    When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛脚), and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare, I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.
    It was difficult to walk together—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
    Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.
    When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help... Such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.  
    When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.
    He never talked about himself as an object of pity, not did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.
    Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.
    He has been away for many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about my troubles, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.
    小题1:How did the man treat his father when he was young?
    A．He helped his father happily.
    B．He never helped his father.
    C．He helped his father, but not very happily.
    D．He only helped his father take a walk after supper.
    小题2:As a disabled man, his father____.
    A．didn’t work very hard
    B．didn’t go to work from time to time
    C．hated those who had good fortune
    D．was happy and satisfied, and never lost hope
    小题3:What does the underlined word “reluctance” mean in the article? It means ____.
    A．angerB．sadnessC．happinessD．unwillingness
    小题4:How did the father get to work usually?
    A．By subway. B．By bus. C．By wheelchair. D．By bike.

    小题1:C
    小题2:D
    小题3:D
    小题4:A

    小题1:本题考查理解文章细节信息的能力。由第一段“…and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention.” 可知，在“我们”一起外出时，“我”会给他一些帮助，但是见到人盯着看时，“我”又极不好意思。
    小题2:本题考查对文章细节信息进行判断的能力。从第六段第一句“He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able.”可知，他的父亲从不因自己的残疾而自暴自弃，因此D项为最佳答案。
    小题3:本题考查根据短文某一细节对词语含义进行简单猜测的能力。本词所在句是照应前文的一句。第一段“When I was growing, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father.”中的 embarrassed 就是指“尴尬”，因为“我”父亲的残疾，“我”不愿意与他一起出现在众人面前。因此本词意为“不乐意”。
    小题4:本题考查理解文章细节信息的能力。从第三段第一句“Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work..”可知A项为最佳答案。

It was tall and narrow. “Buy it, ” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.”
    What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.

    John Steinbeck once said, “All American believe they are born fishermen. For a man to admit to a distaste in fishing would be like speaking publicly against mother-love or hating moonlight”.
    I can’t say I’m the biggest John Steinbeck fan. Actually, the only thing I can ever remember reading by him was “The Pearl” when I was in middle school, but I couldn’t agree more with the man when it comes to fishing. When I am on a boat in the middle of the lay Lake, fishing off the shores of the Florida Keys for tarpon or catching rainbow trout in the Shoshone River of Wyoming. Fishing is my life.
    According to the American Sports Fishing Association, the fishing industry brings in more than $ 116 billion per year from fishermen across the country.
    Though a beautiful picture to imagine, fishing is much more than that. Fishing is a way of life from many people and a way to escape everyday stress. Being a fisherman makes me a member of a wonderful group of people extending to all walks of life. Even President Bush can be found fishing on his farm in Texas with his good friend Roland Martin when the jobs gets too stressful.
    I can remember fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 years old on his boat at Lake Michel. Although I didn’t understand what I was doing, I did know that my grandfather was happy and that made me happy. Since then I’ve spent the past 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama.
    After days of practice, before and after work, I slowly developed an understanding of fishing. My boss, Ric Horst, took me back to the Shoshone, and I managed to bring in a 19-inch cutthroat trout. Fishing with Ric was a life-changing experience for me. He not only showed me how to fish correctly, but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape your problems.
    Since then, prime-time season seems to take forever to arrive.
    Now, with the ending of February and beginning of March is sight, the excitement of heading out to Lake Tus caloosa or Lake Lurleen before classes and catching something has finally returned.
    小题1:What John Steinbeck said in the first paragraph implies that ______
    A．American are believed to be the offspring of fishermen.
    B．it is unthinkable for an American to admit his dislike of fishing.
    C．all American are expert at fishing.
    D．those who dislike fishing would not love their mother.
    小题2:The writer came to understand the real meaning of fishing ______.
    A．when he was reading “The Pearl” by John Steinbeck
    B．when he went fishing with his grandfather at Lake Mitchell
    C．after he had spent 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama
    D．after he went fishing with his boss, Ric Horst on the Shoshone
    小题3:According to the author, ______.
    A．people can get to know VIPs when fishing
    B．people can smooth away all the troubles by fishing
    C．fishing is a way of communication
    D．fishing is a way of life for most American people
    小题4:What is the purpose of the writing?
    A．To describe the writer’s experience and understanding of fishing.
    B．To explain the reason why so many Americans like fishing.
    C．To make others understand the industry of fishing.
    D．To express his opinions about fishing in different time of the year.

    A qualified doctor who rarely practiced but instead devoted his life to writing. He once said: “Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my lover.” Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, was a great playwright and one of the masters of the modern short story.
    When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.
    As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov’s medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference(冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a full time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.
    Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia. Tragic events control his characters who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.
    It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov’s stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhov’s work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity(敏感) of an artist.
    Some of Chekhov's works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, The Man in a Shell, about a school teacher’s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.
    小题1:Anton Pavlovich Chekhov ________.
    A．had a lawful loverB．was an illegal writer
