     Two weeks after the Second World War(战争) began, Peter wanted to join the army(军队), but he was only 16 years old, and boys were allowed to join only if they were over 18. So when the army doctor examined him, he said that he was 18. But Peter's brother Bill had joined the army a few days before, and the same doctor had examined him, too. This doctor remembered Bill's family name, so when he saw Peter's papers, he was surprised.

     "How old are you?" he said.

     "Eighteen, Sir. "Said Peter.

“Mommy, I got something for you!” Cody ran through the door after school. His face wore the biggest smile ever. He waved something above his head. “It’s a pen. But not just any pen. It’s a lucky pen!” He handed me the pen ________ , waiting for my reaction(反应).

I looked at the pen in my hand. There was nothing ________ about it. It looked just like any other ballpoint pen. I had a drawer full of them. At that moment, I didn’t realize how special it was or how much I would come to treasure(珍爱) it.

I had made the decision to be a(n) ________ . I had dreamed about it for a long time but I was afraid of being refused by the publishing houses. The night before, I told my husband my ________ when I thought Cody wasn’t listening. “What if ________ likes my writing and I fail?” But Cody did ________ what I said. Now he stood in front of me, watching me examine the pen. “You don’t have to be afraid now,” he said. “This pen will make your ________ great and everyone will love you.”

Tears filled my eyes. Refusal(拒绝) and failure didn’t seem like such a big problem any more. Even if I ________ sold the first book, I had everything I could ever need. I knew that pen would bring me luck, though. And I felt ________ already, just by having Cody in my life, especially when I heard what he did to get it.

In the lunchroom, Cody heard an older boy talking about having a lucky ________ . He decided to get it for me. The boy was a tough negotiator(强硬的谈判者) but Cody didn’t ________ . In the end, he ________ his favorite Matchbox car, two army men his brother gave him, a crayon, and a piece of candy-his most important things, for that pen. Just to make ________ feel better.

I still have that pen, though it’s long out of ink, in a cup on my desk. When a refusal letter arrives and I start feeling ________, I look at it and remember just how lucky I am. For while I value that pen, it’s Cody who I really ________ in my life.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Margie Bland remembers the phone call from Iraq sometime before Christmas. Her son, Army specialist Joseph Darby , a military police officer in the reserves(not full – time soldiers), was on the phone and she could tell something was wrong.
Darby , 24 , would later come out as the soldier who first alerted the world to the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US guards at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad on January 13. “I could tell in his voice he was not sleeping.” Blank , 45, recalls. “He said ‘I don’t fell good.’” Darby was feeling bad about something he thought was very wrong. “It was really hard on him”, his mother said. “He didn’t want to go against his troops, but he said he could not stand the cruelty he had discovered . He said he kept thinking , ‘What if that was my mum, my brother or my brother or my wife?’” Darby slipped an anonymous note under a military investigator’s door in January, about the mistreatment of prisoners. He later turned in a CD-ROM with 1,000 photos documenting the cruelty, according to a recently disclosed internal Army report. “I told him, ‘Your picture is in the paper, ’” Blank said. “I said, ‘Honey , you did a good thing and good always triumphs over evil ’ And he said, ‘You’re right, mum.’”
Darby grew up in western Pennsylvania, US To help his family, he worked at a fast food restaurant as a teenager and as a mechanic after graduating from high school. He thought the Army might lead to a better life—even a college education. So, like many others, he ended up in Iraq.
