The 14-year-old from Weston, Missouri thinks the same thing. Grace was born with a disease that affected (影响) her skin and eyes, and caused kidney (肾) problems. Doctors told her parents she might not live. Yet, somehow, she survived. She made it home but was often sick. During these 14 years, she had 22 surgeries (手术) and a lot of doctors appointments. It was reading that calmed her in doctors waiting rooms or during long drives to appointments. “I know to always have a book with me,” she said. When Grace was little, her mother, Kelly, read Little House on the Prairie to her. Her dad, Brian, offered her more difficult historical novels like The Red Badge of Courage. Then Grace, despite serious eye problems, started reading on her own, with her nose usually buried in a book. Thats where she sees most clearly. “She wanted to know how things worked. She was so curious,” said Joyce Burch, Graces aunt. Maybe because of those early books, or maybe because of where she lives a farmhouse thats been home to five generations of her fathers family Grace came to love history. She asked her parents to take her to different historical places. She read historical novels, from Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to 1776. She even wrote a book, The Historical House, to explore the history of the farmhouse. Because of her disease, Grace cant go to a public school. But her passion (热情) for history meant she came in fifth in the country for the National History Day competition this summer. Graces grandmother, Sandy Ryan, said that she was not really surprised when Grace called to tell her the news. “That girl does not give up. We knew she would do something great,” said Ryan. Apart from reading, Grace also plays the piano and loves musical theater and performing. She would like to work in theater someday. If she cant, she wants to be an author, probably writing about history. Graces bravery has inspired others. “The time with Grace has been an amazing journey and adventure,” said Lennie Medcalf, Graces private teacher. “I look forward to seeing this world with Grace Cogan in it.”( )41.

In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he did not realize an alligator (短吻鳄) was swimming toward the shore. His mother in the house, looking out the window saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. It was too late. The alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator got his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war (拔河) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother wouldnt let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, ran from his truck (卡车), and shot the alligator. Amazingly, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下疤痕) by the animals attack, and on his arms were scratches (抓痕) from his mothers fingernails where she had tried to hang on to the son she loved. The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs (裤腿). And then, he proudly said to the reporter: “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom wouldnt let go.” You and I can identify with (理解) that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, or anything quite so dramatic (戏剧性的). But the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are ugly and have caused us deep regret. But some wounds, my friend, are because someone has refused to let go. In your struggle, maybe someone has been there holding on to you.( )45.

According to the author, how are we all similar to the boy in the story?A. We can be brave and never let go of our loved ones.B. We may be faced with danger in our lives.C. We may have to depend on the kindness of strangers.D.

I remember her on other days, too, but especially on Mothers Day. She never cared much for gifts. I could just send a card and give her a call and shed be as happy as a mother clam. She died nearly 20 years ago of lung cancer after smoking for most of her 70 years. A few months later, I was in a grocery store picking out a Mothers Day card when suddenly I realized I had no one to send it to. I drove home, ordered a pizza for dinner and started a new Mothers Day tradition: Remembering my mother. Its not as easy. Id rather mail a card or make a phone call. Each Mothers Day, I pick a different theme, a different part of who she was that I want to recall. This time its some of the things she said. For example:“You will have children one day and you will know how I feel.” It was a threat more than a promise. She was right. I did and I do.“Pretty is as pretty does (行为美才是真正的美).” Im still working on that one.“You cant get blood from a turnip (郁金香).” I never knew what that meant, and I still dont.When I was a teenager and I dared to suggest that she should get a life (做点有意思的事情), she replied: “I work five days a week, clean my house on Saturday, go to church and visit my mama every Sunday. I dont need a life. I need help.”One Christmas, when we fell on hard times she said: “Life is a bank. Sometimes you give, other times you take. Either way, its all the same bank. But try to remember how hard it is to take, because one day, you will do the giving.”The last thing she said that I cant forget: “You dont know what youve got until its gone.”I remember my mother. And someday, when Im gone, I hope my children will remember me. But in the meantime, Ill gladly take a card or a phone call.( )49. What does the underlined part show?A. Her mother was very happy to see the authors handmade card.B. Her mother hated to cause her children the trouble of buying her gifts.C. Her mother thought a gift was better than a call.D.

We can infer from the quotes that her mother _.A. was careless but humorousB. was wise and hardworkingC. often worried about, and got angry at, her childrenD. liked to use famous quotes to scare her children( )53. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To remind us that life is a bank.B. To tell us how the writer remembers her own mother.C. To give suggestions on how to celebrate Mothers Day.D.
