     She is quiet, soft-spoken and has a kind face and a strong heart. She is my mom, Lili.
     When I was nine, Lili quitted her job and started her own business. She said she didn't want to stay
at home and work as a housewife: "It's a waste of life." Lili became so busy that she spent less and less
time with me. She didn't help me with my schoolwork. It was, in her words, "so that you can develop
your independence". We quarreled because she rarely showed up at parents' meetings.
     Like mother, like daughter. I have many things in common with Lili. I want everything to be under
control. I want to be perfect and I don't expect other people to help me. I push myself hard to achieve
my goals.
     After I started to go to high school, Lili and I were too busy to communicate much with each other.
     In biology class I began to be depressed. When the teacher showed us a picture of a butterfly, I
was scared and screamed. I had a vision of thousands of butterflies flying toward me.
     That night I told Lili about it. The next morning, I saw that she had red eyes with black circles
around them.
     She took me to see a therapist (治疗师). Three hours later, the therapist told Lili that my life was
like a wheel spinning (旋转) faster and faster and that was the reason for what had happened to me. I
only realized it when my body couldn't stand the pressure anymore. At these words, Lili burst into tears.
"It's all my fault, she's just a kid and I didn't have time to take care of her…To be honest, I had never
seen Lili cry before.
     After that, Lili began to spend more time at home, cooking and dragging me to do sports. I realized
she was the one who would always be there when I was in real trouble. No mom is perfect, but she is
the one who really cares about her kid.

　　A few years ago, paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that uschool that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student leaming．“I think half of then fell off their chairs,”Gemer says．

　　Gemer manages scholl facilities(设施)for clark county, Nevada, a district roughly the siae of Massachusetts．By 2018,143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system．Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them．Four architecture teans have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes(样品); they plan to consruct their schools xtarting in 2009．The district will then assess how well the xchools perform, and three winners will copy those desiiigns in 50 to 70 new buildings．

　　Green schools are appearing all over, but in clark County, which stands out for its vastness,such aggressive targets are difficult because deign repuirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate．“One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation(朝向),”Mark McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says．His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas．“You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool．”

　　Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of re most progressive green-design competitions has dorbts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings．“I don’t believe in the new green religion,”Gemer says．“Gemer says．”Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical．I’m interested in those that work．“But he wouldn’t mind if some green featrues inspire students．He says he hopes to set up green energy systens that allow them to liarn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power．”You never know what’s going to start the interest of achild to study math and science,“he says．

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.

The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.

And it did. On arriving at the beach cottage, I kissed Evelyn meeting me at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, sh e said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.?

There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.

“What’s the matter?” I asked her.

“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “ I don’t?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”

It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.

“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

1. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ______.

A. with his family B. with Evelyn C. alone D. with his children

2. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ______.

A. he was determined to be a good husband

B. he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm

3. The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What does “one thing” refer to?

A. He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.

B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.

C. He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.

D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.

4. By saying “I’m just starting to live,” Tom means that ______.

A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life

B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband

C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change

D. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before
