Like any good mother,when Karen found out that another baby was on the way,she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son,Michael,prepare for a new baby.Day after day,night after night,Michael sang to his mommy’s tummy(肚子).

Finally,Michael’s little sister was born.But she was in serious condition.With sirens (警報) howling in the night,the ambulance rushed the baby to St.Mary’s Hospital.The days inched by.The little girl became worse.The pediatric(兒科的) specialist told the parents to prepare for the worst.

Michael kept begging about singing to his sister,but kids are not allowed in pediatric department at St.Mary’s Hospital.Karen made up her mind to take Michael to see his sister.She dressed him in an oversized suit and marched him into the hospital.He looked like a walking laundry basket,but the head nurse recognized him as a child and shouted,“Get that kid out of here now!”Karen rose up strong,and the usually mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed into the head nurse’s face.“He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!”

Karen towed (拖行)Michael to his sister’s bedside.He gazed at the tiny baby losing the battle to live.And he began to sing.In the pure-hearted voice of a 3-year-old,Michael sang,“You are my sunshine,my only sunshine.You make me happy when skies are grey.”At once  the baby girl responded.Her pulse(脈搏) rate became calm and steady.Her strained breathing became smoother.

“Keep on singing,Michael.”“The other night,dear,as I lay sleeping,I dreamed I help you in my arms…”Michael’s little sister relaxed as healing rest seemed to sweep over her.“Keep on singin,Michael.”Tears conquered the face of the nurse.“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.Please don’t take my sunshine away.”

The next day—the very next day—the little girl was well enough to go home!

第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩處為多余選項。

If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? __76__ But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity(創(chuàng)造力) gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “ What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”

__77__ Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading.

Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. __78__ Now this seed(果實) is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate(聯(lián)系) a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

This is nothing but creativity. __79__ Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.

So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. __80__ Go and get a book!

A.The interesting part of the book is stored(存儲) in your mind as a seed.

B.Why not do some reading while you are hungry?

C.Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry.

D.Now what are you waiting for?

E.Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.

F.Reading can help you make more friends, too.

G.Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.
