Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America. Rightly so. But selfishly, I’m more fascinated by Michelle

Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.

Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’t escape the stereotype of being neck-swirling, eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic mothers.

These images have helped define the way all black women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundations as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simply to be herself.

It won’t be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will become a stand-in for us all.

Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of adoring fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. African-American blogs have all written about what they’d like to see Michelle bring to the White House---mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone---an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise, confidence and intellect will go a long way in changing an image that’s been around for far too long.

69.  Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?

A. She serves as a role model for African-American women.

B. She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady.

C. She will present to the world a new image of African-American women.

D. She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women

70. What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author?

A. They are victims of family violence. 

B. They are of an inferior social group.

C. They use quite a lot of body language.

D. They live on charity and social welfare.

71. What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?

A. However many fans she has, she should remain modest.

B. She shouldn’t disappoint the African-American community.

C. However hard she tries, she can’t expect to please everybody.

D. She will give priority to African-American women’s concern.

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder． The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE．

Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July．The jury （陪审团） reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court．It was, said the Judge, a simple case．Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming．When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking．

Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour．Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, "Just don't tell my mother．"

" It happened over three years ago," Paddy said helplessly．No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do．"Just don't tell my mother," said Fee numbly （麻木地）．"And no one did! Oh,God' My poor, poor Frank!"

Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．"Fee, pack your things．We'll go to see him．"

She half-rose before sinking back．her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"I can't go," she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well—his pride, his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone, it's what he wants．We've got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us?"

Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank look it away．But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank．

So he said, "Well, Fee, we won't go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?"

There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．" Yes, Paddy, do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know．"

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    A．Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer．

    B．The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later．

    C．The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder．

    D．Frank didn't want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him．

2.Paddy cried because he thought ______．

    A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment

    B．Frank should have told Fee what had happened

    C．what had happened to Frank was killing Fee

    D．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character

3.The underlined sentence "She half-rose before sinking back…" （ Paragraph 6） shows that       .

    A．Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up

    B．Fee didn't want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank

    C．Fee couldn't leave her family to go to see Frank

    D．Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish

4.Which of the following suggests that Fee was deeply shocked by what happened to Frank?

    A．"Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"

    B．"Let him bear the shame alone, it's what he wants．"

    C．"Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away．"

    D．"There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"

5.What is Frank and Paddy's probable relationship with Fee?

    A．Son and brother．                                        B．Son and husband．

    C．Brother and lover．      D．Lover and husband．

 

Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the ground was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.

His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia’s snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its top is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.

“It seems to be the most difficult, the most dangerous,” said Viesturs. “There’s no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain.”

In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog’s story of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog’s story was of frostbite (冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.

Viesturs got his start on Washington’s Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world’s highest tops. Finally, he’s done.

The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. “You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,” said Viesturs. “If we have the patience and the respect, and if we’re here at the right time, under the right conditions, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down.”

What’s next for a man who can’t stop climbing? “I’m going to hold my wife and kids and enjoy the summer,” says Viesturs. But for a man who has climbed the world’s 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon start another adventure.

1.The author used Viestures’ words in Paragraph 6 to support an opinion that       .

A．mountain climbing is a dangerous sport

B．mountains should be regarded as living creatures

C．mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy

D．those who like mountain climbing won’t stop climbing

2.The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ________.

A．frightened

B．discouraged

C．interested

D．upset

3. What’s the next probable plan of Viestures?

A．Stopping climbing and staying with his family.

B．Climbing to the top of the world’s 14 tallest mountains again.

C．Writing down the experiences about his adventure.

D．Climbing another one of the highest mountains.
