  My friends told us the taking the“hard   1  ”to Beijing would be really terrible.So we didn't know what to   2  .But we were pleasantly surprised when we finally boarded the   3  , which was relatively modern and   4  .During the 14-hour ride we ate peanuts and talked.It was not   5   at all.

  It was morning when we arrived.We stepped out of the railway station, having sat in hard seats and not getting much   6  .However, we had energy.First we tried to get return tickets to Shanghai, but the ticket seller   7   us that tickets would not be on   8   for another two days.We were a little worried about getting   9  , but we made up our minds to   10   for the hotel to put our bags down.After   11   our way past the“gypsy”taxi drivers that tried to   12   us 100 yuan for the ride, we found a taxi and it   13   cost us 30 yuan to get   14   we had planned to go.When we reached the hotel, there was a   15   for airplane and train tickets.Somehow the man behind the counter could get tickets that day, which we   16  .The most important lesson about China I ever   17   is to get someone to do your work for you, and it seems to work out much   18  .We were not able to get tickets, but the travel agents could.

My husband and I sat outside. A small child about three came up the street, accompanied by her mother. As she saw another girl a few feet away, she gave her admiring comment, “Mommy, I like her dress.” Her mom   21 , “Well, why don’t you go and tell her?”
The little girl walked   22  toward the girl wearing the pretty dress. The other one,
  23  the same age, was standing with her   24  turned, alongside her parents. They had not heard the compliment (赞美). Receiving no answer, this little one   25 . My husband said to the other girl, “  26  wants to tell you something.” As she turned around, connection was made.

Where we live, on the eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.
The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and ducks. In the autumn, they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year, snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens, if the river is at its narrowest, there is a freeze which hardens the water to the ice.
One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out, “There is a goose out
there.”
We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very iii, its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen to the ice.
Then from the dark sky, she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet now, with one unbelieving hand against her mouth. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared what life it still had might be pecked(啄)out by those great swan beaks.
Instead, those beaks began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down, again and again. It went on for a long time. At last, the goose’s head lifted. Its body pulled. Then the goose was free and standing on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then, as if it had cried, “I cannot fly,” four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice and held in the feathers. Slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they could go, and moved slowly into the sky.
This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moments, and from it comes only one hopeful question:“ If so for birds, why not for man?”
【小题1】What happened to the Canada goose?

A.It was deserted by other geese.B.It was stuck in the ice.
C.It was wounded and couldn’t fly.D.It was lost in the water.
【小题2】 At first the author’s friend was worried that ________.
A.the swans would not help the Canada goose
B.the swans would have the same fate with the Canada goose
C.the Canada goose wouldn’t identify with the swans
D.the swans would peck the Canada goose to death
【小题3】What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldn’t fly?
A.They chipped off the ice held in its feathers.
B.They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt.
C.They came down and lifted it up to the sky together.
D.They stayed with it and protected it.
【小题4】What would probably happen to the author’s friend in the end?
A.She stood there, watching attentively, still feeling a bit worried.
B.She was on her feet, laughing at the swans and the Canada goose.
C.She was embarrassed and went on with her breakfast silently.
D.She stood there quietly, not realizing tears had come down her cheeks.

You must have a favorite line or pet phrase you repeat often in your conversations. Studies say that pet phrases can reflect our changing society and reveal information about a person’s personality. Here are some of the most popular pet phrases among young people.

脑残---nuts

I love the word and use it whenever I think a person is stupid, or a behavior is crazy. I learned the term from one of my classmates. Once, we saw two high school girls wearing miniskirts on a very cold winter day and my classmate called the two girls “nuts”. I don’t think the word reflects my personality. I use it because it sounds cool.

Diao Yujie, 22, computer science major at Nanjing University.

汗---stunning

I use this word very often. Once, my classmates and I were discussing how amusing QQ is. One guy suddenly burst out, “I have MSN too”. This comment had no relation with the topic we were discussing. I used this word and everybody laughed. I think it is a fantastic word that can change awkwardness to amusement.

Mu Li, 20, journalism major at Beijing Normal University.

晕死---I’m giddy!

I use this word a lot---more often than my classmates. It has became a symbol of me, as my friends sometimes refer to me as the guy who often says the word. I am a person who wants to be different and this word gives me that feeling.

Chen Zhou, 21, Nanjing University.

雷---stunning

I only use this word with my friends. My parents don’t understand it. The word, which is only used among people of my age, is intimate. I think it stands for being young and energetic. And I want to be young forever, so I like the word.

Chen Jianjun, 23, senior at Nanjing University.
