They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them instantly. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.“Who did this?”my mother would yell about a mess in the kitchen.“This is all your fault, Katharine,”my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.But the Whites didnt worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer that Jane died.Mr. and Mrs. White had six children: three sons and three daughters. One son had passed away in childhood, which may be why the surviving five children remained so close.In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two oldest, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy had recently turned sixteen. The proud possessor of a brand-new drivers license (驾照)，Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met.The big sisters shared the driving of Sarahs new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less populated areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to an intersection (道路交叉点) with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didnt see the sign no one will ever know, but Amy continued into the intersection without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to brake (刹车) in time, plowed into our vehicle.Jane was killed instantly.I survived the accident with only a few bruises (伤痕). The most difficult thing that Ive ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. As painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two surviving daughters sharing a room. Sarahs head was wrapped in bandages; Amys leg was in a cast (石膏). They hugged us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls tears and teased a few giggles (咯咯笑) out of Amy as she learned to use her crutches (双拐).To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said,“Were so glad that youre alive.”I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.Mrs. White said,“Janes gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will bring her back. But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sisters death?”They were right. Amy graduated from college and got married several years ago. She works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. Shes also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest named Jane.51. The writer of the article is _.A Mrs. Whites nieceB The Whites cousinC Sarahs friend at collegeD Janes friend at school52. In what way did the writer find the White family completely different from her own?A Her parents were not as good-natured and loving as the Whites.B Hers were very strict parents while the Whites were too permissive.C When something went wrong the Whites didnt blame their children for it.D When something bad happened, her parents wanted the children to learn a lesson.53. How did the accident occur?A Amy ran a stop sign at an intersection and a truck crashed violently into their car.B Amy wanted to impress her sisters and was driving too fast to see a coming truck.C Amy was too nervous to brake in time when she saw a truck running towards them.D Amy was an inexperienced driver and didnt know what to do when she saw the sign.54. Mr. and Mrs. White did not blame Amy for Janes death because _.A Amy was badly injured herself and they didnt want to add to her painB they didnt want Amy to live with a guilty conscience the rest of her lifeC Amy was their youngest daughter and they loved her bestD they didnt want to blame their children before an outsider55. From the passage we can conclude that _.A Amy has never recovered from the shockB The accident didnt change Amy in the leastC As her head was severely damaged, Amy didnt feel any guiltD Amy has lived quite a normal life, but she can never forget JaneI Want a Wife TooI belong to that group of people known as wives. I am a Wife. And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother.Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a divorce (离婚). He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. He is obviously looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was cooking one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife?I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent, support myself, and, if need be, support those dependent upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a wife to keep track of the childrens doctor appointments. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean.I want a wife who will wash the childrens clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who arranges for their schooling, makes sure that they have an adequate (足够的) social life with their peers (同伴), takes them to the park, the zoo, etc.I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean, mended, replaced when need be, and who will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find what I need the minute I need it. I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook. I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals, serve them pleasantly, and then do the washing up while I do my studying. I want a wife who will care for me while I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school. I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when I need a rest and change of scene.If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have, I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life: My wife will take the children and be solely responsible for them so that I am left free.When I am through with school and have a job, I want my wi
