Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. 1the only girl in a family of2children, she often3she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers,4her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and5, she retreated(躲避) into books.6her love of7, she didn’t do well in elementary school because she was too shy to take part in the activities.
In high school, with the8of one particular teacher, Cisneros9her grades and worked for the school literary(文学的) magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to10because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a11. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop,12, she felt lonely –– a(n)13American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different14Cisneros find her “Creative voice.”
“It was not until this moment 15 I considered myself truly different that my writing got a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to16with why I felt so much imbalance in my life. That’s when I decided I would17about something my classmates couldn’t.”
Cisneros 18her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl19up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school to graduate school level.20then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.

练习册系列答案

One cold rainy evening last October, as a medical student, I was in a hospital, gathering data
for my graduation paper.
Holding a patient questionnaire1some simple yes-or-no questions, I walked towards a 43-year-old patient who lay in bed alone. I was worried whether she would approve of my demands at such a late hour.2, she treated it with consideration. Soon I finished and prepared to leave.3I could stand up, she spoke up in a weak voice asking where I was from and why I was working so late in the evening.
Then she started talking about herself as well as her4, "My husband died about a year ago,5me the only breadwinner of my family. My pay as a cleaner is6enough for me and my three kids. I don't know what my children would be if something bad happened to me."
I didn't know what to say. I desperately tried to remember the lessons from a communication skills class I had taken years earlier, but my mind was7.
Without realizing it, I had begun8her hand. Now that I didn't have anything to say, I just sat quietly while she talked. That's when it occurred to me that she was not expecting any 9from me. She10wanted me to listen. All 1 did was nod my head as a way of showing my11.
The conversation went on for about 20 minutes. Finally, she stopped talking. "I'm very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problems, but I feel12now. I had no one to13out my problems to. Thank you so much, doctor."
Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or advanced technology.14, they just need someone with the15to lend an ear and spare a little of their time. For me, that is one of the best things a doctor can do for a patient, doesn't it?

The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added -- a communications blackout caused by solar storms.
After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.
Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London.
"The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites," said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.
At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun's atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. "A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications," Professor Harrison added. The risk is the greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.
Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.
The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.
Professor Richard Harrison, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth "If we have advanced warning, we'll be able to reduce the damage. What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said.

1.
The phrase "communications blackout" in paragraph 1 most probably refers to____________ during the 2012 Olympics.
1. A.
  the extinguishing of the Olympic torch
2. B.
  the collapse of broadcasting systems
3. C.
  the transportation breakdown in London

2. B.
  the London Olympic broadcasting will be possibly influenced by the 2012 peak of sunspots
3. C.
  the 2012 Olympic Games are during the solar maximum of throwing out greatest number of sunspots
4. D.
  solar explosion will cause strong storms on the earth
3.

1. A.
  The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.
2. B.
  The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.
3. C.
  It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.
4. D.

When William, a 10-year-old boy planned to learn the piano, the music teacher was reluctant (不愿意)to accept him. She1her students to start their music lessons at a young age when their2were able to move quickly and easily.
“William, why do you want to learn the piano?” the teacher asked.
“I want to play for my mother.”
She noticed the 3in his eyes as he answered her. She had no heart to 4and accepted William as her student. But at each music lesson, William appeared to be in a hurry and played5“My mother is waiting outside for me,” he would tell the teacher. She was tempted to advise William not to6his time with lessons anymore as he7hit the right notes.8there was something about William — - she was fascinated with the tender look in his eyes9he mentioned “Mother”.
Suddenly, William stopped coming for his lessons. At the end of the semester year, the music teacher decided to 10a piano recital (独奏会) for her students and she asked them to participate.
She was11to find William’s application to contribute a musical piece. She would place him last in the recital12he made mistakes.
The day came and William appeared.13it was his turn to play, William bowed before the audience and said he was thankful for the music teacher’s14with him. “Tonight I am dedicating (献)my music to my mother.” he said.
Everyone later asked why William did not bring his mother as she would15be proud. William replied, “My mother was16and she could never17me play during her life time. 18she sacrificed her time and money to let me learn the piano. This morning Mother passed away. I am sure she is now19as she can hear my piano recital. I chose a piece of piano music by Beethoven. As you all know, Beethoven was deaf by the end of his career. But music always symbolized his20for freedom and I would like to dedicate it to Mother.”

Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.
Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.
The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong

1.
If a person has his nose in the air, he ______.
1. A.
  is down to the earth
2. B.
  is easy to deal with
3. C.
  always thinks he is more important than others
4. D.
  is confident
2.
If a person has both feet on the ground, he ______.
1. A.
  is in touch with reality, and doesn’t have any dreams
2. B.
  has some dreams but he is realistic
3. C.
  is honest, open and easy to deal with
4. D.
  is honest, open but hard to deal with
3.
The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.
1. A.
  the person who has his nose in the air is not true
2. B.
  a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligent
3. C.
  the opposite direction is always wrong
4. D.
  a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth

My Fellow Americans,
I have recently been told that I am one of the millions of Americans who will be suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease (老年痴呆症).
Upon learning this news, Nancy & I had to decide whether as private citizens we would1this a private matter or we would make this news known in a2way.
In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer3I had my cancer surgeries (外科手术). We found that after we told it to the public, we were able to4public awareness(意识). We were happy that5many more people went to have a test. They were treated in early stages and able to6to normal, healthy lives.
So now, we feel it is7to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater8of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are9by it.
At the moment I feel just fine. I’d10to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have11done. I will continue to share12journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch13my friends and supporters.
Unfortunately, as Alzheimer’s Disease14, the family often suffers a lot. I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this15experience. When the time comes I am confident that with your help she will16it with faith and courage.
At last, let me thank you, the American people for giving me the great honor of17me to serve as your President. When the Lord calls me home,18that may be, I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and endless optimism (乐观) for its future.
I now begin this19that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright20ahead.
Thank you my friends. May God always bless you.
Sincerely,
Ronald Reagan

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and1to let the angels stay in the guest home of their large house.2, the angels were given a space in the cold basement (地下室). As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a3in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked4, the older angel replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the5came to rest at the house of a very6, but very hospitable (好客的) farmer and his wife. After7the little food they had, they let the angels sleep in their8where they could have a good night’s rest.
When the sun9the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in10, for their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was very11and asked the older angel, “How could you have let this happen? The first man had everything,12you helped him,” she accused (责备) “The13family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let their cow14.” “Things aren’t always what they seem”, the15angel replied.
“When we stayed in the basement of the large house, I16there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.17the owner only cared about money and was unwilling to share, I sealed (封住) the wall so18wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came19his wife. I told him to take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they20.”

It was Christmas 1961. I was teaching in a small town where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly1the great day of gift-giving in advance.
Each day the children produced some new2— strings of popcorn, handmade trinkets, and German bell. Through it all she remained alone,3from a distance, seemingly miles away. I wondered what4happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now suddenly so withdrawn. I hoped the festivities would5her. But nothing did. The students made the fried marbles(油炸玻璃弹子)and competed with one anther to bring the6ones.
The day of gift-giving finally came. We cheered over our handiwork as the presents were7. All along, she sat quietly watching. To see her smile, I had made a special bag for her. She opened it so slowly and carefully. I waited but she8. I had not passed through the wall of isolation she had9around herself.
After school I sat down in a chair, hardly10of what was happening, when she came to me with outstretched hands, bearing a small white box, and slightly soiled,11it had been held many times by12, childish hands. She said nothing. “For me?” I asked. She said not a word, but13her head. I took the box and cautiously opened it. There inside, glistening green, a fried marble14from a golden chain. Then I looked into that eight-year-old15and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. In a flash I knew — she had16it for her mother, who had died just three weeks before and would never hold her or brush her hair or17her childish joys or sorrows.
I meant it when I whispered, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. Your mother would18it.” Neither of us could stop the19. She threw herself into my arms and we wept together. And for that brief moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest20of all: her trust and love.

Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us. Without reconciliation (和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering. "Beginning Anew" is a(n)1of reconciliation. It involves three steps —— sharing appreciation, expressing2, and expressing hurt and difficulties.
In the first step, we share appreciation. We acknowledge the3qualities of the other person. The second step——expressing regret, is to4with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her5. This requires humility (谦逊), and the6to let go of our own pride. In the third step, we express our own hurt with mindful and loving7without blaming or criticizing. We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and8our words. If we blame the other person, his heart will9and he will not be able to hear us. We ask the other person to help us to understand why he has spoken and acted as he has, causing us so much pain. Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings so that we can understand him more deeply. If a strong10arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply11and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes 12 . The other person can13us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue. We can enjoy practicing "Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends14. By doing this, we will15misunderstandings from accumulating. Rather, we will take care of them as they arise, as we take care of our children.
