17．Surrounded by Brothers
I know it is wrong to envy（羡慕） your children．But when I see my son，Tonio and his younger brother Sam going down a slide together，one's arm around the other，I know I have missed something wonderful．
Not only did I never have a brother，but also I had no friendships like theirs．My sister was old enough to help take care of me，so she was more a mother than a playmate，and I was more a pest than a friend．A brother would have been wonderful，but it was not in the family planning．
Now I finally live with brothers，my sons，Tonio and Sam．I am watching them build the kind of relationship that I once dreamed about．They go to bed together．When one comes into our bed after a nightmare，my wife and I know that before morning his brother will follow．
Sam manages the world with more ease than his elder brother，whose frustrations often bring him to tears．With a sincere"Smile，Tonio，"Sam is the one who comforts him．Tonio，on the other hand，has stopped playing with boys at his age who don't like playing with Sam．They are always backing each other up．
I don't know what kind of relationship they will have when they grow up．Parents always want their children to have what they never could．I want them to have each other．So I imagine them going to the same college，marrying sisters and living on the same block．
That's why I was so worried the day Tonio started kindergarten．I felt that I would lose something too．As we headed for school that morning，both boys seemed relaxed，as if neither had any idea that the day was going to be different，that starting then，Tonio would be leaving behind his brother，his best friend，his right arm．
Tonio's first day was chaotic，with hundreds of children outside looking for their teachers．Before any of us could say goodbye，Tonio disappeared with his new classmates．He turned to wave and then was gone．It was so sudden．Sam even didn't see him go．Although parents had been asked to ease the craziness of the first day by staying out of the school，I lifted Sam up and took him to Tonio's classroom，looking for a glimpse of Tonio．Sam spotted him first．
My wife and I didn't head back home immediately，stopping instead at a coffee shop to treat Sam to hot chocolate．We even let him eat ice-cream with his fingers．Sam was still quiet，so I asked him if he missed his brother already．
He didn't answer．Instead he asked，"Daddy，is Tonio going to be gone forever？"
"No，Sammy，"I said，feeling happy about his sweet question．"Not forever，just until three o'clock．"
I sometimes think that the greatest thing I have ever done is to help create these brothers．And I didn't stop with them．We had another child，and for the third time in a row，it was a boy．It wasn't long before his brothers climbed into the crib（婴儿床） to play with him．I am surrounded by brothers．

A．He has no friends like Sam and Tonio．
B．He has only one brother in his family．
C．He doesn't enjoy brotherhood as they do．

67．What does the underlined word"pest"in paragraph 2mean？B
A．a bad person     B．an annoying person      C．a good friend     D．a lovely brother

4．Andy rode slowly on his way to school，day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him．He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him．
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present．He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens．What he saw shocked and terrified him．A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him．
With no time to waste，Andy sped off in the opposite direction，riding furiously-but without knowing how to escape the swarm．With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously，he sped down the rough road．As the bees came closer，his panic increased．Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings（蜇）．The last sting had landed him in hospital-and that was only one bee sting!He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days．Suddenly，his father's words came to him．"When you are in a tight situation，don't panic．Use your brain and think your way out of it．"
On a nearby hill，he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home．"Bees don't like smoke，"he thought．"They couldn't get into the house．"Andy raced towards the Nelson house，but the bees were gaining ground．Andy knew he could not reach the house in time．He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon．
Suddenly，out of the corner of his eyes，he spotted a small dam used by Mr．Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden．Off his bike and into the cool water he lived，disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects．After holding his breath for as long as he could，Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone．Dragging himself out of the dam，he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell．Mrs．Nelson took him inside and rang his mother．
"You'll really need that fishing break to help you recover，"laughed his mother with relief．"Thank goodness you didn't panic!"But Andy did not hear her．He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow．

C．They tried to attack Andy in a mass．
D．They made Andy stay in hospital for two days．

C．He rushed into the Nelson house．

2．I have a rule for travel：Never carry a map．I prefer to ask for directions．Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have names．In Japan，people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names．For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，"Go straight down to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop．"
    In the countryside of the American Midwest，usually there are not many landmarks．There are no mountains，so the land is very flat（平坦的）．In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles．Instead of landmarks，people will tell you directions and distance．In Kansas or Iowa，for example，people will say，"Go north two miles．Turn east，and then go another mile．"
People in Los Angeles，California，have no idea of distance on the map：They measure distance by means of time，not miles．"How far away is the post office？"you ask．"Oh，"they answer，"It's about five minutes from here．"You say，"Yes，but how many miles away is it？"They don't know．
    People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language．Instead of giving you the direction，a Greek will often say，"Follow me．"Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office．
     Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question．What happens in this situation？A New Yorker might say，"Sorry，I have no idea．"But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers，"I don't know．"People in Yucatan think that"I don't know"is impolite．They usually give an answer，often a wrong one．A visitor can get very，very lost in Yucatan!
   One thing will help you everywhere-in Japan，in the United States，in Greece，in Mexico，or in any other place．You might not understand a person's words，but maybe you can understand his body language．He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction．Go in that direction，and you may find the post office!
41．The passage mainly tells us thatC．
A．never carry a map for travel
B．there are not many landmarks in the American Midwest
C．there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world
D．New Yorkers often say，"I have no idea，"but people in Yucatan，Mexico，never say this．
42．The passage says，"In Japan，people use landmarks in their directions．"The word"landmarks"meansD．
A．building names
B．street names
C．there are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world
D．buildings or places which are easily recognized
43．In which place do people tell distance by means of time？C
A．Japan       B．American Midwest      C．Los Angeles，California      D．Greece
44．In the passage，Bcountries are mentioned by the writer．
A．seven　　    B．four        C．eight　       D．five
45．Which of the following is wrong？D
A．Travelers can learn about people's customs by asking questions about directions．
B．A person's body language can help you understand directions．
C．people in some places give directions in miles，but people in other places give directions by means of time．
D．People in different places always give directions in the same way：They use street names．
