Before I left the hospital, I talked to the surgeon and asked him to do the surgery, saying I would pay the expenses the next day   44    I had that kind of money. Well, I must have been   45   because the surgeon agreed to do it! But how was I going to get that much money?

All I knew was that I needed to help my friend! Although it could be   46   to deal with this kind of situation, I decided to make some efforts. I tried to borrow money but failed.

I told him that I had a friend who was really in need.   50   I convinced him too and then he gave my two months’ salary without any   51  !

Upon getting the money, I ran to the hospital and paid all the bills. My friend didn’t know how to thank me. I just said, “Come on! Give me a   52  !”

Friendship may not only be found at the happy moment but sometimes you can find it on the   53   time in your life! I’ve done a good thing by being a (an)   54   friend and I think it is well worth the   55 .

Has Tiger Mom gone soft? One year after the release of her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Amy Chua is back in the spotlight, reflecting on how overnight infamy (恶名) affected her life, her family and her parenting.
“I have changed a lot,” she told the Huffington Post. “In October, we had 30 kids at our house! We have hosted parties with lots of food and music.”
Last January, the Wall Street Journal published an excerpt (节选) from Chua’s book with the headline “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior”. In the excerpt, Chua described how her daughters were never allowed to have sleepovers (在外过夜的儿童聚会), appear in school plays, or earn any grade lower than an A. Chua, an author and professor at Yale Law School, spent much of 2011 on the defensive. In fact, many of her interviews seemed to lend fuel to her critics’ fire.
Now, with the book out in paperback, she said, “I put passages in the book and used very harsh words that I regret. Everybody has those moments you wish you could take back.”
For those who still read Battle Hymn as an advice guide, Chua argues that so-called tiger parenting should be employed mainly during a child’s early years, ideally between the ages of 5 and 12. These “super-strict parenting tactics” are not meant for all ages. Remaining strict after middle school makes you a helicopter parent, according to Chua. And she is quick to point out how different that is from being a tiger mom.
“By the time kids get to high school, helicopter parents are hiring all these tutors, carrying their kids’ sports bags. I never checked older daughter Sophia’s papers because I knew she knew how to sit down and focus,” Chua said.
As for younger daughter Lulu, 15, the rebel for whom the book was written, Chua has really backed off. Instead of forcing Lulu to practise violin for hours a day—the source of their biggest fights, Chua “let her give that up”. “My compromise (妥协) is that I’m going to still be as strict academically, but in exchange she has a lot of social freedom. Lulu has had four sleepovers in the last two months!” Chua said. Chua predicts she’ll only get more easygoing with age.
【小题1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A.How Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother came out.
B.Tiger Mom persuaded readers to follow her example.
C.Tiger Mom has changed and wants to be soft.
D.How Tiger Mom became the worldwide spotlight.
【小题2】From paragraph one we can know that after the publication of the book______________.
A.Tiger Mom became stricter with her children
B.Tiger Mom’s life and family were influenced
C.Tiger Mom was thought highly by the public
D.Tiger Mom became wealthy and easygoing
【小题3】Lulu quarreled with her mother mainly over______________.
A.whether she could do well at school
B.when she could have sleepovers
C.what should be written in the book
D.how long she practiced the violin

I paid a visit to Cambridge last January.  Though the trip took me 5 hours and it rained the whole day with strong winds there, the town deserved a visit.

    The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived,which wasted more time than we expected. Tired with long sitting,one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, “Either you get off or sit down.” To him, safety is the first policy.

    Cambridge consists of over thirty colleges. The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s.The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings(出租房)and move into college for their final year.

    Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town;it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has shops,pubs,and supermarkets,but most of it is university-colleges,departments,libraries,clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops,cafes,banks and churches,making these as well part of the university.

    With over 10,000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break,better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions,carrying students from one college or lecture room to another.

1.The writer believed that the trip took more time because of________

    A. bad weather                          B. unexpected stops of the bus

    C. one passenger                         D. an accident on the way

2.Why is Cambridge called a university town?

    A. It has 10,000 undergraduates and postgraduates.

    B. There are over thirty colleges in the town.

    C. All the students and staff live in the town.

    D. The university and town are fully combined.

3.It can be inferred that most Cambridge students take _______as their first means of transport.

A. boats          B. cars               C. bicycles          D. buses
