Having visited my two children,I left the hospital and headed for the grocery store,truly exhausted. Today I had passed CPR(嬰兒心肺復(fù)蘇術(shù)) exam required before I could take 8-week-old Joel home from the hospital. However,I still worried about performing CPR in a moment of crisis.
For the past several days,I'd been trying to accept my 6-year-old daughter Jenna's diagnosis,juvenile diabetes (兒童糖尿病) .In addition to the CPR exam,I'd spent the day reviewing how to test Jenna's blood and give her insulin (豉島素) shots. Now I was buying the food to balance the insulin that would sustain Jenna's life.
I grabbed my purse,locked the car and went into the store. The first thing I needed to pick up was a grain box,but it had to be "sugar free",so I chose a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes and continued shopping.
Eventually,I walked down the canned fruit and juice section looking for apple juice. I wasn't sure how much I would need to keep Jenna's sugar up. I grabbed a couple sixpacks and placed them in my cart. Frustrated by feelings of total inadequacy,I crumpled up (揉鈹) my grocery list,and started crying.
"Honey,are you all right?" a gentle voice asked. Absorbed in my own thoughts,I hadn't even noticed the woman shopping alongside of me. "Honey,are you a little short of cash?" she asked me.
I slowly dropped my hands from my face and looked into eyes of the silvery haired woman. "I have enough money. I'm here shopping for groceries so that I can bring my children home from the hospital tomorrow. " I said.
"Home from the hospital!What a celebration,you should have a party!”
This stranger took my grocery list,smoothed it out,and became my personal shopper. She stayed by my side until each item on my list was checked off. Then with a hug and a smile,she sent me on my way.
While dragging the groceries into my house I realized the lesson this woman had taught me. "My kids are coming home from the hospital!" I shouted with joy. "Joel is off life support. Jenna and I can learn how to manage her diabetes and give her shots properly. " I giggled (唂唂地笑) to myself. "I have a reason to celebrate!"

Baseball is America's national sport. So it is not unusual that many popular expressions come from baseball. But first,let me explain a little about the game.
Each baseball team has nine players. The pitcher of one team throws the ball to a batter from the other team. The batter attempts to hit the ball. If he misses,it is called a strike. If a batter gets three strikes,he loses his turn at bat and is called out. The batter also is out if he hits the ball in the air and an opposing player catches it. But if the batter hits the ball and it is not caught,the batter tries to run to one or more of the four bases on the field. The batter can run to all four bases if he hits the ball over the fence or out of the ballpark. Such a hit is called a homerun.
Now,here are some common expressions from baseball. Someone who is "on the ball" is intelligent and able to do a good job. But a person who " threw a curve ball" did something unexpected. Someone who " steps up to the plate" is ready to do his or her job. A "pinch hitter" takes the place of someone else at a job or activity.
Sometimes I have to give information quickly,without time to think it over. Then I would say something "right off the bat". If someone is doing an extremely good job and is very successful,you might say he or she is " batting one thousand".
If I say I want to "touch base" with you,I will talk to you from time to time about something we plan to do. I might say I "touched all the bases" if I did what is necessary to complete a job or activity. And if I " covered my bases" I was well prepared. However,someone who is "way off base" did something wrong or maybe even dishonest or immoral. A person with strange ideas might be described as "out in left field".
Finally,when a situation changes completely,we say "that is a whole new ballgame".
( ) 1. The text is written mainly .
A. to tell baseball is America's national sport
B. to explain the rules of a sport game
C. to introduce some useful expressions from sports
D. to show the connection between expressions and sports
( ) 2. The passage is the script of a program for .
A. sports in America B. words and their stories
C. the way to study English D. the history of idioms
( ) 3. What does the underlined sentence "The batter also is out" mean?
A. The batter comes out from his position.
B. The batter will not continue the game.
C. The match will be over suddenly.
D. The batter will change his position.
( ) 4. Which of the following expressions can show the meaning that someone is ready to something?
A. Right off the bat.
B. Throw a curve ball.
C. Cover his bases.
D. That is a whole new ballgame.
( ) 5. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?

If we close our eyes,falling in deep 13 ,we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 14 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with 15 things,sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 16 has blinded and misled us,and we will remain ignorant (無知的) 17 we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is 18 of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything,no matter how much it 19 us,we will finally prove how much we have 20 up,how much more sensible,mature,and intelligent we have become.
