He was always interested in my life and how my family was doing, and I never once heard him complain about his own life.Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day painting it for three days. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea and for me to hold a paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy.Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swingset (秋千组) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea and talk to him. But again, I was too busy.Four years ago, my father drove all the way from Denver to Topeka, with an eight-foot Colorado blue spruce (蓝叶云杉) in his trunk, so that my husband and I could have a part of Colorado growing on our land. I was preparing for a trip that weekend and couldnt spend much time with him.Then, one day, my father telephoned me as usual, this time from my sisters home in Florida. We talked about the tree he had brought me, “Fat Albert”, but that morning he called it “Fat Oscar”, and he seemed to have forgotten some things. I had to get to church, so I cut the conversation short.The call came at 4:40 pm that day: my father was in hospital in Florida with an aneurysm (动脉瘤). I got on a plane immediately, and on the way I thought of all the times I had not taken the time to talk to my father. I realized that I had no idea who he was or what his deepest thoughts were. I promised that when I arrived, I would make up for lost time.I arrived in Florida at 1 am. My father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk to me.（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A . The writer arrived in Florida before her father passed awayB .

HopelessB . Sorry.C . FrightenedD . Disappointed.（3）Which words best describe the writers father?A . Honest and modest.B . Strict and demanding (要求高的).C . Talkative and positive (积极乐观的).D . Caring and thoughtful.（4）Whats the best title of this passage?A . What a good father!B . How busy I amC . Time keeps going.D . My father and our family.3. （4分）阅读理解7 January, 2014A new report says more and more international students are attending colleges and universities in the United States. It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China.These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international students in the United States during 2012, 2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier.On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas（海外） increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from China. That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal, an expert of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinese students.Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever. She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America.We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world that they want to go. And for the most part, looking around the world, Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice.Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China, India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand students in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy-two thousand students.Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason.The advantage America has is that we have a huge system and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world, and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students.Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education.And from Learning English, thats the VOA Special English Education Report.

A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.
