Mr. Schuman is a tall man. And he is very strong, too. He teachers P.E. in a middle

school. He wears a long beard and takes very good care for it all the time. It was Sunday the day before yesterday. There was the biggest football match of the year on the playground in the center of the city. Mr. Schuman likes the game very much and of course he was going to watch it. With the help of one of his friends, Mr. Schuman got a ticket for the game a few days ago. He got up very early and after breakfast he went to the bus stop at once. But there were a lot of people waiting in the bus-stop. Soon a bus came and he struggled(挣扎) to get on the bus. There were so many people in the bus and it was difficult for them to find a place to put their feet. Mr. Schuman had to catch the hack of a chair. Soon the bus arrived at the next stop. A little boy got on the bus. He was very short and couldn't catch anything at all. Suddenly the bus stopped and the boy almost fell to the floor. He looked around. There was nothing that he could catch. Just then he saw Mr. Schuman's beard and he caught it without thinking. The man called out loudly at once. ‘Let go of(松开) my beard, boy!’ The boy looked up at Mr. Schuman when he heard this. Then he asked him, ‘Are you going to get off, sir?’

I once had a friend that was found with terrible cancer that couldn’t be treated, and the news that he might only live for up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends. However, even though he had such a serious illness, he still decided to look for all possible treatments(疗法) that might keep him alive at the very beginning. I think when you find yourself in such situations, you tend(倾向) to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life. As months went on, his health grew worse. But I noticed an unexpected changed

change in attitude(态度) come over him. He became a happy person with a cheerful personality(个性). Instead of taking about his illness to others and feeling pity for himself, he lived in peace with his illness. His talks concentrated(集中) monkey on others rather than himself. He looked so cheerful that once might not think he was a man that would die soon. During the last few months, weeks and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by his parents, friends and his loving wife who looked after all of his needs. And workers from a local hospice(安养院) came to his home to bring him his medicine and provide any other needed support. He didn’t complain about his illness, and he willingly allowed others to serve him. Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering(痛苦) in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value my family and friends more and be kind to them. You often can’t learn these important lessons during the time you are living a happy and comfortable life an perhaps you never realize what life means. And perhaps, such an experience is the greatest gift for all of us.

66. Which word can best describe the man’s first feeling when he was told he had cancer? A. Pleased. B. Shocked. C. Fantastic. D. Embarrassed. 67. What did the man do after he first learned of his illness? A. He wanted to die at once. B. He retired from his job. C. He tried to find cancer treatments. D. He felt sad and did nothing. 68. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ______. A. the man’s family members B. the care the man received from others C. the man’s life in the hospital D. the man’s sadness about his last years

69. What did the writer learn from his friend’s story? A. Living your life as long as possible. B. Caring for yourself and enjoying life. C. Allowing others to care for you. D. Giving more care to family and friends.

70. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the passage? A. We should face death bravely. B. We can learn from unpleasant situations. C. Families are the best support for us. D. We should help those with serious illness.

When my father was getting ready for work, our house was ruled by knocks and words. He used to come downstairs to breakfast. The morning paper lay beside his plate. He always read the ‘Deaths’ first, and then he knocked once on the table. One of my sisters brought his bread, already buttered for him. Usually he said nothing, but once I heard him say, “I love you very much, Edith. I would love more if you buttered my bread on both sides.” He read the paper all through

breakfast.

Two knocks on the table meant “I am ready for my tea.” If a single knock followed that, it meant, “More bread, please.” After breakfast he said, “Boots.” The paper was spread for him over the back of an armchair.

With one boot finished he said, “Bus.” At that point one of the girls went outside to the garden gate and waited there. Her job was to stop bus when it came. It came early sometimes and it had to wait for my father. “Overcoat, hat.” One of my sisters had already brushed his overcoat. Now she held it open for him. Another girl came with his hat, nicely brushed. “Handkerchief, pipe.” They were brought and put, with his tobacco, into his pocket. He looked out of the window and said either “Walking stick” or “Umbrella”. It was handed to him. Ready now, he was still reading the paper. He didn’t put it down until he heard the shout “Bus coming!” Then he kissed my mother and went out. The girls breathed freely. How lucky a man is to have a wife and five daughters at home! 71.
