Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable 36 when I was teaching second grade 10 years ago.

In May I decided to plan something special for the children; a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our 37 together to come up with ideas of how to 38 our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised and 39 to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I 40 invited my own mother.

Finally, the big day arrived. Each child lined up at our classroom door, 41 the arrival of his or her mom. 42 it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t 43 up and he was looking upset.

I took my mother 44 the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was 45 if you could keep my mother 46 while I’m busy.”

My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy 47 my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had 48 the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep 49 .

Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy, I had the students complete an outline of the day’s 50 and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if 51 was completed. When I came to Jimmy’s 52 , he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs, Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”

I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and 53 his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran bark and gave me a big hug.

“Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t 54 it.”

I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who 55 stopped hugging teachers years ago.

I used to believe in the American dream that meant a job, credit, success．I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us separately chasing the same thing．

One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell apart．I found myself homeless and alone．I had my truck and $56．I searched the countryside for some place I could rent for the cheapest possible amount．I came upon a deserted cottage in a small remote valley．I hadn't been alone for 25 years．I was scared, but I hoped the hard work would distract and heal me．

I found the owner and rented the place for $50 a month．The locals knew nothing about me．But slowly they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor．They dropped off blankets, tools and canned deer meat and began sticking around to chat．They would ask if I wanted to meet cousin Albie or go fishing．They started to teach me a belief in a different American dream, not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness．Men would stop by with wild berries, ice cream, truck parts to see if I was up for courting．I wasn't, but they were civil anyway．The women on that mountain worked harder than any I'd ever met．They taught me how to store food in the stream and keep it cold and safe．I learned to keep enough for an extra plate for company．

What I had believed in, all those things I thought were necessary for a civilized life, were non-existent in this place．Up on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my relationships with my neighbors．

After four years in that valley, I moved back into town．I saw a lot of people were having a really hard time, losing their jobs and homes．With the help of a real estate broker （房地产经纪人） I chatted up at the grocery store, I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people．It's four of us now, but over time I've had nine come in and move on to other places from here．We'd all be in shelters if we hadn't banded together．

The American dream I believe in now is a shared one．It's not so much about what I can get for myself; it's about how we can all get by together．

Before a series of unhappy events happened, the writer ____．

A．had a well-paid job

B．worked hard for his American dream

C．worked hard and liked to share

D．felt hopeless about his American dream

What does the underlined sentence "I learned to．．．" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?

A．The writer learned to run a company．

B．The writer learned to share with others．

C．The writer learned to keep enough plates．

D．The writer learned to save money for his company．

Why did the writer rent a big house?

A．To make some money． B．To show off his wealth．

C．To share with those people in need． D．To make friends with his neighbors．

The writer mainly tells us about ____．

A．his unhappy experiences B．the friendly people in the valley

C．the change of his living conditions D．his new idea of the American dream

Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon 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 peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.

"It tends to be the trickiest, 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 tale 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 peaks. 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 circumstances, 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 hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer," says Viesturs. But for a man who's climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.

What record has Ed Viesturs set?

A. He has succeeded in climbing to the world’s 14th highest mountain.

B. He has been to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.

C. He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545feet.

D. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.

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

A. frightened B. discouraged C. interested D. upset

The author used Viestures’ words in Paragraph 6 to support a view 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

What’s the next probably 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. Climbing another one of the highest mountains.

D. Writing down the experiences about his adventure.

I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I searched in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently(不经意地) locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don’t know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn’t want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.

I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension too. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I’d never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the toxin. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.

“My life was saved by a smile.” Yes, the smile -- the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn’t be enemies. We couldn’t have hate or envy or fear!

A. Before the author was released, he had stayed there for a long time.

B. Both of the author and the jailer loved their families very much.
