 Mother insisted that the child's hands ______ before dinner.

    A. should wash           B. be washed

    C. had been washed         D. would be washed

B


解析:

wash和hands之间构成动宾关系,hands作了that从句中的主语,所以谓语需用被动结构。insist作“坚持(某种观点或看法)”讲,后面宾语从句的谓语动词用虚拟语气,即should+动词原形,should可以省略。

  It was a freezing day, when I picked up a wallet in the street. There was nothing 1 but a letter that was 2 Hellen. On the torn 3 I found the return address, so I called information. The operator asked me to 4 on, and she came back on the 5 soon, she told me that Hellen’s family had 6 their house years ago. Hellen had to 7 her mother in a nursing home.

  I called and found out that Hellen’s mother had 8 . The woman who answered 9 that Hellen herself was 10 living here.

  The director waited for me at the 11 of the nursing home. I went up to the third floor. Hellen was an old woman with a warm smile and 12 eyes. I told her about finding the wallet and showed her the letter. She took a deep 13 “Young man,”she said,“this was the 14 letter I had written to Mike 60 years ago. I loved him very much. I guess no one ever 15 up to him. I still think of him…”

  I thanked Hellen and came back to the director. His secretary looked at the wallet 16 and said, “Hey, that’s Mr. Goldstein’s. He’s always losing it. He’s 17 here en the 8th floor. That’s his wallet, for 18 .”

  We hurried to him and asked 19 he had lost his wallet. Mike felt his back pocket and then said, “Goodness, it’s missing.”

  When I returned him the wallet and told him where Hellen was, he grew 20 .“When the letter came,” He said,“my life ended. I never married.”

  We took him to Hellen’s room. They stood, looked at each other for a minute and embraced (拥抱).

In July 1960, Goodall arrived at Gombe National Park in Tanzania. At the beginning, studying the chimpanzees was not    13   for her.

  There is good and bad news for parents today.The word “mother” has been voted the most beautiful word in the English language.But “father” failed even to make it on to the list of the 70 best words compiled(汇编)in a survey of thousands of non-English speakers across the globe.From Ankara to Zurich, “mother” was voted above “love” “smile” and “blossom”.

  “Mother-in-law” was also nowhere to be seen.Funny that maybe the hyphens(连字符)disqualified it.

  In second place was “passion”, followed by “smile” “love” and “eternity”, with “fantastic(难以置信的)”“destiny” “freedom” “liberty” and “tranquility” completing the top 10.

  The results were revealed by the British Council which carried out a huge survey of more than 40,000 people in 102 non-English speaking countries.

  The study was undertaken to celebrate the group's 70th anniversary-and it threw up a few surprising entries to the list.

  “It's interesting that ‘mother’, the only word of the 70 that describes a direct relationship between people, came top of the poll(投票)”, said British Council spokesman Greg Selby.“It is great to see words in the survey that are so positive and suggestive of the British Council's purpose-words such as freedom’ ‘liberty’ ‘peace’ ‘renaissance’ and ‘destiny’.”

  Those surveyes were allowed to choose their words on either meaning or sound, said Mr.Selby.This explained why words that are satisfying to pronounce, like “flip-flop”, made the list.

  Famous mothers like Kate Winslet, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer have all done their bit to make the word popular.

  Kate, 28, even pulled out of Woody Allen's new film to spend more time with her young family.

  Singer Robbie Williams is proud to declare his love for his mother, while comedian Peter Kay endured a marathon British tour to pay for a new house for his mom.

  The mood was added to by Britney Spears, yesterday as she expressed her love for her mother.

  She said:“My mom was and still is a supermom.She is just so much fun and I think the reason why I relate to her so well is because she's young mom.”

  She added:“Mom, thanks for being the best role model-you rock.”

How does “mother” become the first word on the list of 70.

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 eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers.

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

  Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have 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 (沉着), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that’s been around for far too long.

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

A.She serves as a role model for African 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.

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

A.They are victims of violence.

B.They are of an inferior violence.

C.They use quite a lot of body language.

D.They live on charity and social welfare.

3.What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs?

A.Whether Michelle can live up to the high expectations of her fans.

B.How Michelle should behave as a public figure.

C.How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House.

D.What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the White House.

4.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 concerns.

5.What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will do?

A.Help change the prevailing view about black women.

B.Help her husband in the task of changing America.

C.Outshine previous First Lady.

D.Fully display her fine qualities.
