Unchangeable Love
One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting．I was expecting a quiet view of the splendid    36  ．
A young    37  viewing the paintings ahead of me   38   nonstop between themselves．I watched them a moment and __39___ the lady was doing all the talking．I admired the man's   40  for putting up with her   41  stream of words．  42  by their noise, I moved on．
I met them several times as I moved through the various rooms of art．Each time I heard her constant flow of words, I moved away   43  ．
I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a   44  when the couple approached the   45  ．Before they left, the man   46  into his pocket and pulled out a white object．He   47  it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the   48  to get his wife's jacket．
"He's a   49  man．" the clerk at the counter said．"Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age．During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn't change．
So, as before, he and his wife come in   50  there is a new art show．"
"But what does he get out of the art?" I asked．"He can't see．"
"Can't see! You're   51  ．He sees a lot．More than you and I do," the clerk said．"His wife  52  each painting so he can see it in his head．"
I learned something about patience,   53  and love that day．I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without __54_ and the courage of a husband who would not   55  blindness to change his life．And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, hand in hand．

Last year, around Labor Day, I read a “Happy Ad” in our local newspaper． There was a lady in a local nursing home, who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about it． It said that if you wanted to drop her a line, here was her address． So I did． I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthday．

The other day I decided to teach my son about the power of small acts of kindness.

A father and his daughter were   49 . I approached the father and asked if my son could give his   50  a lolly that he had won. The father looked at me in   51  and was unsure what to say. I   52  explained that I was teaching my son about the power of kindness. Eventually he said it was okay.

Rather than say sorry to my son for embarrassing him and give up this   57 , I put a couple of lollies into their shopping bags and   58  them a great day!

However, we can reshape their opinions by   62  small acts of kindness. So don’t be embarrassed. Hey, they may have been standoffish(冷淡的), but I’m sure we left them   63 , moved and inspired in some way.

When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. My parents took me by train or by car to a hotel by the   26  .

When the tide went out, we climbed over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.
In those days the sun seemed to shine always   29  and the water was always warm. Sometimes we left beach and walked in the country,   30  ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were sweets in one’s pockets or good places where one could   31  ice creams. Each day seemed a life-time.
 32 I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good  holiday is much the same as it was.  I   33   like the sun and warm sand and the sound of   34  beating (拍打) the rocks.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

I don’t want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (controlled) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space, time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天體物理學(xué)), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens (鏡片) of gender (性別) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相對(duì)于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations (挑釁) : I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
小題1:Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
A．She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination (歧視).　
B．She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
C．She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
D．She finds space research more important.
小題2:From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute (把…歸因于) the author’s failures to ________.
A．the burden she bears in a male-dominated society
B．her involvement in gender politics
C．her over-confidence as a female astrophysicist
D．the very fact that she is a woman
小題3:What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?
A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.
B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.
C. People’s fixed attitude toward female scientists.
D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurtured.
小題4:What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?
A．Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.
B．Women can balance a career in science and having a family.
