11．Bobby Qualls was shopping when he received a text message:Fire on Beechmont.one-story house.child——青夏教育精英家教网—

11．Bobby Qualls was shopping when he received a text message：Fire on Beechmont，one-story house，child trapped inside．"I was picking out gifts for the family our engine house adopted for Christmas，"remembers Qualls，who has been fighting fires in Memphis for 24years．"I had this sinking feeling as I got in my car and headed over．"
The last time Qualls had been on Beechmont Street was to install smoke detectors （感应器） at the Bateman-Tubbs home．He'd been on a secret task to see if they needed extra help during the holidays．There he discovered that the four Bateman-Tubbs children were sleeping on bare mattresses （床垫），and he found two of the boys playing outside in 30-degree weather with no shoes or coats．
Qualls learned that Leonard Tubbs was doing his best to make ends meet laying floors while Kimberly Bateman stayed home with the kids．
"When Bobby told me his team wanted to be Secret Santas and buy my kids toys，at first I thought we didn't need any help，"Bateman recalls．"It really touched me．I told him what the kids really needed was warm clothes．"
That's exactly what Qualls was shopping for on December 9，2010：winter jackets for Christopher，seven； JoJo，four； Madison，one； and two-month-old Charles．While driving over to Beechmont Street，he dialed Bateman's cell phone．She answered on the first ring，screaming，"The house is on fire-JoJo's trapped inside!"
By the time Qualls reached the house，the family had gotten out，but their home was severely damaged．His coworkers had found JoJo hiding under a pile of clothes in a back bedroom．He had stopped breathing and had been given CPR and rushed to the hospital．Qualls learned that JoJo was now on life support and might not make it through the night．He rushed to the hospital with Lt．Mark Eskew，who placed a stuffed teddy bear in a firefighter's suit on JoJo's bed．
"I just kept praying my little boy would open his eyes，"Bateman recalls．"There was nothing else I could do．They were pumping black and thick liquid out of his lungs and stomach for days．"
After a few days，though，JoJo regained consciousness，and the tubes were taken out of his throat．While he began to slowly recover，the local newspaper and TV stations got hold of the story，and the Secret Santa Plan of Qualls and his fellow firefighters snowballed．Before long，the fire station was overflowing with boxes of toys，food，towels，and clothes．People called，wanting to donate furniture and appliances （电器） too．By December 23，Bateman and Tubbs had moved their kids into a new rental home．By Christmas Eve，JoJo was ready to leave the hospital，and the firefighters were ready to deliver the family their very own Christmas miracle．
"These guys aren't just firefighters，"says Bateman，"they're our guardian angels．If they hadn't installed a smoke detector that first day they came to our house，we wouldn't have known when the fire started．Then they went the extra ten miles to give us a Christmas．"

10．He's an old cobbler （修鞋匠） with a shop in the Marais，a historic area in Paris．When I took him my shoes，he at first told me："I haven't time．Take them to the other fellow on the main street； he'll fix them for you right away．"
But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time．Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather，I knew he was a skilled craftsman （手艺人）．"No，"I replied，"The other fellow can't do it well．"
"The other fellow"was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys"while-U-wait"--without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys．They work carelessly，and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap （鞋带），you might as well just throw away the pair．
My man saw I wouldn't give in，and he smiled．He wiped his hands on his blue apron （围裙），looked at my shoes，had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said，"Come back in a week．"
I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boot off a shelf．
"See what I can do"he said with pride．"Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work．"
When I got back out into the street，the world seemed brand-new to me．He was something out of an ancient legend，an old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly，his pride in his craft．
These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line，when you can do things any old way as long as it"pays"，when，in short，people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption （消费） rather than a way to realize their own abilities．In such a period，it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done．

9．In Shanghai's Grand Theater，a fashionable，mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage．He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves．Blowing on one of the leaves，he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song．Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China．
It's the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater．But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin，a Cantonese-born singer，who has made it her mission to help preserve China's traditional ethnic music．
In 2009，after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador，Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups．In the course other four-month trip，she recorded more than a thousand songs．But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old，and some of the music was at risk of dying out．
"I was shocked by the beauty of what I heard-it was so good，"she says．"But it needed support．I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times．"
So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience．By doing this，she hopes to rekindle（点燃） the interest of the younger generation．"Young people don't like this music much； they prefer pop music and love songs．They think these songs are something their grandma sings．This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage．"
Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots．"China today is basically all Western art； in our conservatories （音乐学院） Western classical music is the top，"she says．"For China to really contribute to the world，we need to go on our own path．So what can represent China today？"The answer，she suggests，is to move from"made in China"to"created in China"．

8．It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory．The meanings of thousands of words，the bases for the decisions we make，and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences，which are brought into the present by memory．
Memory can be considered as the ability to keep information available for later use．It includes not only"remembering"things like maths or historical facts but also involves（包括）any change in the way an animal typically behaves．Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has smelt something different in the grain pile．Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat．
Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines．Computers，for example，contain equipment for storing data for later use．It is interesting to compare the memory-storage ability of a computer with that of a human being．The instant-access memory（快速记忆） of a large computer may hold up to 100，000"words"-ready for instant use．An average US teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100，000words of English．However，this is only a piece of total amount of information which the teenager has stored．Consider，for example，the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight．
The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings．A large part of a person's memory is in terms of words and combinations（组合） of words．

57．According to the passage，memory is considered to beB．
A．the basis for decision making and problem solving

C．the computer's memory ability is much smaller even than a teenager's
D．the computer's memory ability is as smaller as a teenager's
59．The whole passage implies thatC．
A．only human beings have problem-solving intelligence
B．a person's memory is different from a computer's in every aspect
C．animals are able to solve only very simple problems
D．animals solve problems by instinct（直觉） rather than intelligence
60．The main idea of this passage isB．
A．what would life be like without memory
B．memory is of great importance to life

7．

Babu，a 12-year-old dog，does not normally like going for walks．But when she insisted on going for one soon after the March 11earthquake，her owner Tami Akanuma suspected something was wrong．When Bahu headed for a nearby hill rather than taking their usual route in the coastal city of Miyako，Akanuma decided to follow along．Minutes after climbing the hill，she saw a disastrous tsunami attacking the town，flattening the district where they lived about 200meters from the coast．"Bahu might have sensed a tsunami was coming，"said Akanuma，83．
Akanuma was relaxing in her living room when the quake struck off Japan s northeast coast．The lights went out and Babu started running around the room，barking loudly and madly wagging her tail．It's a bit early for a walk，Akanuma thought，but she put Babu on her leash（系狗的皮带） anyway．As soon as she opened the door； Babu fiercely ran outside and headed toward a nearby hill-the opposite direction they usually go for a walk．

Babu is staying with Akanuma and about 60locals at a hall being used as a shelter．Rabu turned 12Wednesday．She seemed quite pleased to celebrate the event in her favorite pink outfit，which had been freshly washed for the big day

5．After 21years of marriage，my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie．She said，"I love you，but I know this other woman loves you too，and would love to spend some time with you．"
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER，who had been a widow for 19years，but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally．That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie．
"what's wrong，are you well？"she asked．My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news．
"I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you，"I responded．"just the two of us．"She thought about it for a moment，and then said，"I would like that very much．"
That Friday after work，as I drove over to pick her up，I was a bit nervous．When I arrived at her house，I noticed that she，too，seemed to be nervous about our date．She waited in the door with her coat on．She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary．She smiled from a face that was as radiant as angel's．
"I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son，and they were impressed．"she said，as she got into the car．"They can't wait to hear about our meeting．"
We went to a restaurant that，although not clegant，was very nice and cozy．My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady．After we sat down，I had to read the menu．Her eyes could only read large print．Half way through the entries，I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there starting at me．A nostalgic smile was on her lips．
"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small．"she said．
"Then it's time that you relaxed and let me return the favor．"I responded．
During the dinner，we had an agreeable conversation-nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life．We talked so much that we missed the movie．
A few days later，my mother died of a massive heart attack．It happened so suddenly that at that moment，I understood the importance of saying in time："I LOVE YOU"and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve，because these things cannot be put off till"some other time．"

3．A person named Bernard Jackson today is a free man，but he has many bitter memories．He spent five years in prison after a jury （陪审团） wrongly convicted （判处…有罪） him of raping two women．At Jackson's trial，although two witnesses testified that Jackson was with them in another location at the time of the crime，he was convicted anyway．Why？The jury believed the testimony （证词） of the two victims，who positively identified Jackson as the man who had attacked them．The court eventually freed Jackson after the police found the real criminal．
Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony．For instance，witnesses sometimes see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a group of people．They can become confused by seeing many photographs of similar faces．The number of people in the group，and whether it is a person or a photograph，my also affect a witness's decision．People sometimes have difficulty identifying people of other races．The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them．
Many people believe that police officers are more reliable than ordinary people．Psychologists decided to test this idea，and they discovered that it is not true．Two psychologists showed a film of crimes to both police officers and civilians．The psychologists found no difference between the police and the civilians in correctly remembering the details of the crimes．
Despite all the possibilities for inaccuracy，courts cannot omit eyewitness testimony from a trial．American courts depend almost completely on eyewitness testimony to resolve （决定） court cases．Sometimes it is the only evidence to a crime，such as rape．Furthermore，eyewitness testimony is often correct．Although people do sometimes make mistakes，and convict innocent people，more importantly，eyewitness testimony has rightly convicted a larger number of guilty people．
American courts depend on the ability of the twelve jurors，and not the judges，to determine the accuracy of the witness's testimony．It is their responsibility to decide if a certain witness could actually see，hear and remember what happened．

50．Bernard Jackson was found guilty and sentenced 5years'prison becauseA．
A．the victims insisted that he was the attacker

A．the eyewitness is confused by the police's questions
B．the eyewitness is shown photos of many similar faces
C．the eyewitness lacks the professional help from police
D．the eyewitness can't identify people of other races clearly
52．An inaccurate eyewitness testimony may lead toD．
A．the misunderstanding of the case B．the disbelief in the court
C．the disrespect for the eyewitness D．the conviction of an innocent person
53．Eyewitness testimony is important becauseB．
A．it can be relied on to detect criminals in all cases．
B．it is sometimes the only way to resolve court cases．
C．it is sometimes the only clue for police investigation．
D．it is more reliable than physical evidences to a crime．
54．According to the text，we can infer thatA．
A．eyewitness testimony is valuable，though sometimes incorrect．
B．police identification is more reliable than that of the ordinary people
C．crime victims often fail to give positive identification of the suspects
D．the jury relies on the judge than the eyewitness for a decision．

    She drove off．A few miles down the road the lady saw a small restaurant．She went in．The waitress had a sweet smile，and was nearly eight months pregnant（怀孕的）．The old lady wondered how someone like her who seemed poor could be so kind to a stranger．Then she remembered Joe．After the lady finished her meal，the waitress went to get her change from a hundred-dollar bill．But she stepped right out the door．
    When the waitress came back，she noticed something written on a napkin，"I am helping you because someone once helped me．If you really want to pay me back，here's what you do---Do not let the chain of love end with you．"
    That night when she got home，she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written．She and her husband needed money with the baby due（预期的）next month．She knew how worried her husband was，and as he lay sleeping next to her，she whispered，"Everything's going to be all right．I love you，Joe．"
