My father was Chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in Word War II. The book Night of the U-boats told the story.
Memories
In September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him sale.
Then I remember my mother lying lace down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷).
I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报),Which in those days always brought had new. My grandmother opened it. It read, “Safe, Love Ted.”
My most vivid memory Is being woken and brought down to sit o my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage.
He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.
Ten years later I read Night of the U-bouts and was able to complete the story.
Torpedo
One torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.
By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck fast. When he tried to cut it free it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.
Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.
In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean rind a wait for rescue? Lest(以免)we forget, I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.

小题2: What did the author learn about the father from the telegram?

I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I felt blindly in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had   31  the search of jailers (people who guard prisoners). I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could   32  get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those.
I   33  through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” He looked at me,   34  and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and   35  the match, his eyes accidentally locked with mine. At that moment, I   36 . I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was   37 , perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very   38  not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a   39  jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and   40  a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed   41 , looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.
I kept smiling at him, now   42  of him as a person and not just a jailer. “Do you have   43 ?” he asked. “Yes, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously felt for the   44  of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were   45  with tears. I said that I   46  that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up.   47  came to his eyes, too.   48 , without another word, he   49  my cell and silently led me out. There, at the edge of town, he   50  me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.
My life was saved by a smile. Yes, the smile ― the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people.

I looked at the card and wanted to cry. I ___40 ___ wait to get back into the campaign.

Goldie’s Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We’re moving house.” “No space for her any more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. “We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
小题1:.
How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?
A.Shocked.B.Annoyed.C.Sympathetic.D.Upset.
小题2:.
. In her first few days at the author’s house, Goldie      .
A.sat by the fireB.was angry
C.ate a littleD.felt worried
小题3:.
Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she ­    .
A.found her way to her old homeB.heard familiar barkings
C.wanted to leave the authorD.saw her puppies

I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”
At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone! ” And she swept it into the wastebasket.
I stood watching her, speechless .What on earth?
She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room-if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!”
Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.
After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood(情绪)had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.
小题1:. Why did the author shout at the telephone?
A.He was mad at the telephone.
B.He was angry with his agent.
C.He was anxious about his wife.
D.He was impatient with the secretary.
小题2:. What did the author’s wife do after she heard his shouting?
A.She said nothing.
B.She shouted at him.
C.She called the agent.
D.She threw the phone away.

You might say that Barack Obama was elected President of the US because he knows how to give a good speech. In 2004, the little-known Obama gave a speech at the Democratic national Convention(民主党全国会议). It was a great speech---poetic, and inspiring. The people who heard it would remember it for a long time.
Since 2004, Obama has written and delivered thousands of speeches. These are usually praised for two reasons: he treats the audiences like intelligent adults, and he is able to express difficult ideas in a straightforward, natural way.
Before becoming President, Obama was a lawyer, a college professor, and a successful writer---his two memoirs have become best-sellers. The skills he needed to succeed in his previous jobs have also contributed to his success as a speechmaker.
As a lawyer, Obama learned how to make strong, convincing arguments. As a professor, he learned how to explain complex subjects in ways that helped students understand without boring them. As a writer, he learned how to use language to have a powerful influence on his audience.
Secret weapons of Obama 
Writing team: Obama has a team of people who write his speeches. The writers chat with Obama for hours about what he wants to say. They listen to recordings of past presidential addresses and seek advice from advisers. Obama usually edits and rewrites the drafts several times.
Make fun of the guests: Obama starts his speech by gently making fun of his guests. His opening lines attract the audiences’ attention while giving them an opportunity to relax and laugh at themselves and each other.
Making fun of himself: Obama laughs at his past mistakes and is never afraid of showing them to the public.
Obama delivers speeches to audiences large and small. He can make his audiences laugh or cry. His speeches are always thoughtful, well written, and just right for each occasion.
小题1:.. The third and fourth paragraphs mainly talk about _____.
A.why Obama’s speeches are praisedB.how Obama acquired his speaking abilityC.what subjects Obama’s speeches aboutD.Obama’s success as a writer and a lawyer
小题2:. When delivering a speech, Obama ______.
A.usually starts with some famous sayingsB.sometimes turns his speech into a song
C.sometimes shares a joke with the audienceD.is very strict most of the time
小题3:. What is the main idea of the passage?
