I had an interesting experience playing ping-pong last year. I was playing against aopponent(對手). The score was 20 to 17 in her . I won the next three points which made the score 20 to 20. I my paddle on the table and thanked my opponent and began to walk away. She called me and said we had to continue until one of us .
“Look,”I said, “if we, one of two events will take place, either you or I will win.If you win, I will begin tomy skill. If I win, you will be unhappy. Isn’t it better to know that we both played , that we enjoyed the competition, and that we played an even(相等) score?” This was aending for my opponent and for the persons watching this contest. It made to me to leave with a tie(不分勝負) game, an impasse(僵局): no winner, no.
So, my friends, here is the problem me. Our present technology makes it possible for nations to other nations for retaliatory(報復(fù)) strikes. In such a nuclear time, there be no winners, only losers. Under these conditions, the only choice toglobal destruction is glogal impasse. This would be a “tie game” where no nation wins and no nation loses. An impasse reached through compromise(妥協(xié)). This is because compromise becomes the only means of. We cannot destroy this beautiful planet by holding on to understanding of victory. The victory is in achieving a desirable impasse. No one wins, no one loses either.

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard. I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer than most of the adults in our community.
When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. His house sat on ten acres, and his life’s goal was to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things rough for them and weed out(淘汰) the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture. I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he’d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
Dr. Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re extremely tall, big and robust since they have deep roots now. However, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.
It seems that adversity(逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could. I stood there deep in thought.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I stand over them and watch their little bodies, the rising and falling of life within. I often pray for them. Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think it’s time to change my prayer(禱詞) because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship..
1.According to Dr. Gibbs’ theories, trees will become weaker if they______
A. are lack of care B. are watered C. are weeded out D. are beaten
2..According to Para.3 and Pare.4, we can infer that Dr. Gibbs’moto(座右銘)may be_____
A. “seeing is believing” B.“Put everything in proper use”
C. ”Practice makes perfect” D. “No pains, no gains”
3..The underlined word robust in Para.5 most probably means______
A. strong B. strange C. deep D. old
4. Which of the following may be the author’s best prayer for his two sons now ?
A. I wish them strong wings, with which they can fly higher and touch the sky.
B.I wish them nice fortune so that they can meet people like Dr. Gibbs in the future.
C.I wish them deep roots into the earth since the rains fall and the winds blow often.
D.I wish them great shades under the tree since the sunlight is always sharp and bitter.
5. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. A Nice Doctor B. The Deep Roots
C. Adversity and Suffering D. My Childhood Memory

One day an American friend invited me to a party. It wasn’t a real party, it was some kind of informal get-together. Since it was summer time, he had a cookout where most of his American friends and relatives were known to me, but there were others I had never met before.
It was the most embarrassing (令人尷尬) party for me when I noticed that everybody was wearing jeans and simple T-shirts for the day, while I arrived in proper dress with my shoes and my hair all fixed for a fancy party.It was hard to explain my embarrassment to other guests.When one of them turned around and said, “What nice clothes! What’s the occasion?” I felt my face burning hot with embarrassment. I did not answer at all. If she knew how bad I already felt, she wouldn’t have come near me.But she did. Maybe she didn’t ask intentionally to make me feel bad or uncomfortable, but my reaction had to do with the way I already felt.I could have told her I had to go to another party afterwards, but I did not want to continue the conversation.
Many times I thought about going home and changing, but I knew that they would notice.It would be even worse for me, because I knew they would quickly think that I felt out of place.So I wanted to pretend that I was okay…
I had already realized their customs were different from mine; but after I talked to my friend, I was more convinced that people here are more casual (休閑的,隨意的).They care less about formality, unless it is a special occasion, like a wedding or a very formal invitation.
In contrast, my culture is totally the opposite.For instance, in Cape Verdean culture, if a friend invited me to his house on a special day, even if it is not a real party, one should appear well dressed or otherwise the host will be annoyed thinking you are disrespectful to him or the other guests.We do dress casually for going on picnic or on ordinary days, but not normally to go over to a friend’s when invited, especially if other people will be there.
After all, I think that my problem at the party wasn’t that I wasn’t accepted by the Americans; but my feeling was so bad that I couldn’t fit in the group even if nobody noticed, because I was the one who discovered the difference in the first place.It doesn’t matter if people dress differently, but I was the only one different in the group.I felt I was the one who should adjust to their customs.After that, I decided to learn more about American culture, so now I don’t have as many problems as I’ve had in the past.
1.Which of these statements describes the cookout in the story?
A.It was very formal. B.People wore casual clothing.
C.It took place in a restaurant. D.People care more about formality.
2.This story is mainly about _________.
A.culture differences B.living in the United States
C.what to do at a cookout D.how to get prepared for a cookout
3.It can be inferred from the story that the author _________.
A.left the cookout early B.probably didn’t enjoy the cookout
C.never wears blue jeans D.will never go to a cookout
4.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “intentionally” in the second paragraph?
A.Patiently. B.Willingly. C.Carefully. D.On purpose.
