Michael O’her lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. The father believed in encouragement.
Though Michael was the    1  of the class when he entered high school, his    2     continued to encourage him, but also made it very clear that he did not have to play    3    if he didn’t want to.
However, Michael loved football and was    4   to try his best at every practice. All through high school, he never     5    a practice or a game, but remained a bench warmer (替补队员) all four years. His    6   father was always in the stands, with words of    7   for him.
It was the end of the football season, and as Michael ran slowly onto the practice field shortly     8   the big final game, the coach met him with a telegram. Michael    9     the telegram and became deathly silent—his father died that morning, and the sad man left for   10   immediately.
In the third quarter, when the team was ten points    11  , a silent young man eagerly    12   onto the sidelines. The coach and his players were shocked to see their team-mate back so    13 .
“Coach, please let me    14  . I have to play today,” said Michael. Feeling sorry for him, the coach     15  . Before long, nobody could believe their eyes. This small bench warmer played like a(n)    16  . He helped his team win finally.
When the team was cheering for their    17  , Michael was sitting in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, “You were fantastic! Tell me    18  you did it?”
Tears in eyes, Michael said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know he was blind?” He    19   a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could   20   me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!”

“It's really cool to have a dad who flies fighter jets,”thought 11-year-old Casey as she was watching him fly overhead.
Living on an Air Force base was not as bad as some people might think. Casey rather enjoyed being around friends who had something in common with each other. They had their own school, bowling area, and movie theatre. She especially loved it when her dad would come home each day and greet her with a new joke and tickles.
Today was different, though. When her dad walked into the room, he looked sad for some reason. He just kissed her on the forehead and told her mum that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong.
When her mum and dad came out of the other room, mum was crying. Dad sat down and began to explain that he has been called to go to Iraq to help with the war effort. Casey was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment. She began to feel tears in her eyes. How could she live without her dad for a whole year?
Soon, the day came. Her dad was leaving. As Casey and her mom watched him climb up the steps to his cockpit, the tears began to flow and it felt like they would never end. It was hard for Casey to believe that she wouldn't be seeing her dad for so long. They depended on him for so many things. Who would fix the broken window? Who would greet her with jokes and tickles at the end of the day? And then the thought hit her, “ What if he doesn’t make it home?” Casey began to sob more than ever.

Today was a big day for my eldest son, Kevin. He had his first big boy haircut. Before today, we have always stood by his side, told the hairdresser what to do and watched over the whole thing. We’ve been working on the rewards (奖赏) of responsibility with my son for quite some time. Today, he got one of those rewards by having his own haircut.

When they arrived at the shop, his father showed him a book with lots of styles of haircuts for boys. After he made his choice, he waited patiently for his turn. My husband decided he would get his own hair cut at the same time.

When their names were called, Kevin showed the hairdresser the picture of his chosen haircut, which, thankfully, was not a strange haircut. The hairdresser looked to my husband for approval (批准) and he told her his son was in charge.

During his haircut, Kevin talked happily with the hairdresser. My husband, who was getting his haircut in the next chair, kept silent. When all was said and done, Kevin looked quite handsome.

When it was time to pay, he reached into his pocket and took out the cash my husband gave him. He handed it to her and said, “Thanks, it’s all yours.” I guess that’s the six-year-old equivalent (对应的语句) of “keep the change.”

I have to admit I was a little nervous about the whole thing before, but I’m a believer now. My son is growing up and ready for new big boy experiences.

1.When Kevin got his haircut, the author used to .

A．do her own thing B．leave him alone

C．talk happily with her son D．manage the whole thing

2.What did the author’s husband do at the hairdresser’s?

A．Picked out a hair style for his son. B．Talked happily with the hairdressers.

C．Had his own haircut silently D．Stood together with the author.

3.What was the hair style that Kevin chose like?

A．It was very strange. B．It suited him well.

C．It was very bad. D．It was more like a girl’s

（BBC）The "father of the personal computer" who kick-started the careers of Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen has died at the age of 68. Dr Henry Edward Roberts was the inventor of the Altair 8800, a machine that led to the home computer age.

Gates and Allen contacted Dr Roberts after seeing the machine on the front cover of a magazine and offered to write software for it. The program was known as Altair-Basic, the foundation of Microsoft's business. "Ed was willing to take a chance on us - two young guys interested in computers , and we have always been thankful to him," the Microsoft founders said in a statement.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak told technology website CNET that Dr Roberts had taken " a critically important step that led to everything we have today". [来源:学,科,网Z,X,X,K]

Dr Roberts was the founder of Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS), originally set up to sell electronics parts to model rocket hobbyists. The company went on to sell electronic calculator parts, but was soon overshadowed by bigger firms.

In the mid-1970's, with the firm struggling with debt, Dr Roberts began to develop a computer kit(配套零件) for hobbyists. The result was the Altair 8800. The $395 kit (around £1,000 today) was featured on the cover of Popular Electronics in 1975, resulting in a flood of orders.

Amongst those interested in the machine were Paul Allen and Bill Gates. The pair contacted Dr Roberts, offering to write software that would help people program the machine. The pair finally moved to Albuquerque - the home of MITS - where they founded Micro-Soft, to develop their software.

Dr Roberts sold his company in 1977. He died in hospital on 1 April after a long period of pneumonia．(肺炎)

1.Why did Dr Roberts probably decide to sell his company?

A. Because he was in heavy debt in the mid-1980's .

B. Because he wanted to take a chance on Gates and Allen.
