I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance(保险业)company. I told him honestly why I wanted the job —I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma(精神创伤) and pain of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her present high school. I could still hardly talk about the loss of my wife. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn’t probe(彻底调查) any further. He admitted (接受)my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had —a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview into a caring support for another person in need.

Carly Williams decided to become a TV reporter when she was in Grade 6. “ One day, we went out into forest and did some reporting about forest fires,” Carly said. “ Ever since then, I have loved the job and I have been trying to do it as much as I can.”

One night I was sitting in my room half-listening as my 15-year-old brother Tommy fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.
About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey Kevin, do you want to talk?”
No answer.
I tried again, “Why don’t you come out of there?”
Again, no answer.
So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of （一摞）cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.”
An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “Nobody in this family cares about me. I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest. Tommy thinks I’m silly and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re never around to even notice me.”
Tears came to my eyes as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”
There was no answer for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of cards wrote on a torn paper cup. “Thanks.”
I wrote back “For what?” it returned to me with “Loving me” on it.
Since then, I try my best to never only half-notice my family members any more. Kevin and I have a closer relationship now. And sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset, we’ll smile and say “Write it on a paper cup.”
【小题1】The underlined word “yucky” most probably means ____.

B．He is neither the youngest nor the oldest.
C．Kevin doesn’t like to make friends with others.

【小题3】What do we know about the writer?
A．She has two children in her family.
B．She didn’t pay enough attention to Kevin before.
C．She used to show her love to Kevin.
D．She has a closer relationship with Tommy after that.
【小题4】What does the writer want to tell us?

B．It’s hard to get on well with family members.
C．It’s important to keep peace in the family.

                                            Shanghaihua (上海话)：use it or lose it
        There are about 6.000 languages in the world and some experts say that as many as half of these languages will disappear in the next one hundred years. Will Shanghaihua be one of t    1     ? It's a question that more
people are asking.
        In China, Putonghua is the official language. That m     2    it's the language of government, business and
the media (媒体). And it's also the language that is used in schools. 
        Shanghai is a special city. It is modern, fashionable and sophisticated (老练的). And Shanghaihua shows
that by being modern, fashionable and sophisticated. "I love riding on the b    3    and listening to people speaking
Shanghaihua." Miss Evans, an American reporter said. " I don't understand a word they are saying but I like the
sound of the language. It sounds smoother than Putonghua. And Shanghainese like things "renao" (热闹)so even
a discussion about the weather can sound like an argument or a party. My bus rides are a   4    interesting."
        Young people still speak Shanghaihua but not as well as their parents and grandparents. They are under
more and more pressure (压力) to speak Putonghua. So the language is being used l   5    often in everyday life.
Some people want to keep the language from disappearing completely by building museums and having cultural
festivals to save it. But a language isn't a painting or a book. It's a living thing and you e   6    use it or lose it. 
        If people stop using it in their d   7    lives, a museum or a festival will not help. It will be lost forever, like
the Yangtze River dolphin.
