A.A Mother’s Love B.A Brave Act C.A Deadly River D.A Matter of Life and Death 答案 56.D 57.A 58.A 59.A Passage 11 Eddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada. It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case, said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view. Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world, says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time. Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane. McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London - an explanation for why he was all but forgotten. But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word `deceased’ next to his name, said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.

There’s a time to get angry, and it’s best for your child if you do. Let’s say your child hits a playmate with a toy hard enough to make the other child cry. How can you teach your child to feel sorry so he or she won’t do it again? Researchers say the best way for parents to react(反应)is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad.

  Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they’re calm before scolding their children. But the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child , “Peter was crying because you hit him,” is not likely to attract much attention. Young children need to be scolded immediately, and strongly, before they’ll take criticism (批评)to heart.

  When your young child does something wrong, scold him or her seriously at once. At the same time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong. An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good. Forbidding a child to play outside or not allowing him to watch TV as a punishment works well-but only when taken together with an explanation. Make sure your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry, you still love him or her. Use simple, direct words such as, “You hurt peter. How would you feel if he hit you? You must never, never hurt people.” If your voice expresses strong feeling clearly, your message will carry enough weight.

According to researchers, how should parents react when their child did something wrong?

       A.Ask the child not to do it again any time.

       B.Show the child how angry they are and tell him why.

       C.Teach the child why and how to say sorry to others.

       D.Let the child know you still love hime or her.

What do many parents think they should do with the wrongdoer?

       A.Calm themselves down before scolding him.

       B.Hide their feelings when talking to him.

       C.Explain immediately why he was wrong.

       D.Speak strongly and angrily to him.

What could be the best title for the text?

       A.Different Ways to Deal with Children’s Wrongdoings

       B.Differences among Parents in Dealing with Children

       C.Best Ways to Stop Children’s Wrongdoings

       D.Research on Preventing Children from Hurting Others

On Christmas Eve, Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashleys lived.Then she began to unload the gifts from the car, handing them to Ashley one by one.

Ashley was very moved.Reflecting on a little girl’s generosity, Ashley says she’ll one day be able to do something similar for someone else in need.“Kinzie could have used that money for herself, but she gave it away,” Ashley says.“She’s the type of kid I’d like my son to grow up to be.”

  On the New York set of the film Hide and Seek, ten-year-old Dakota Fanning spends her time playing a deeply disturbed girl who deals with her mother’s suicide(自杀)by creating an imaginary friend, who may not frighten her family.

  Today, though, she has the day off.“This week I only worked two days,” says Fanning, sitting in a sofa in her hotel’s library, “but I get bored when I’m not working.Especially because it’s cold here and I can’t do anything, you know? So, I’ve been knitting(编织)-all day, every day.” The actress, who’s held her own opposite Oscar winners such as Sean Penn and Denzel Washington, recently mastered the fine art of scarves(围巾).Though she’s about ready to move on to hats, she first plans to make a souvenir(纪念品)scarf for Robert De Niro, who plays her father in the film.“He’s the nicest guy you’d ever meet in your entire life, ” she says, her voice dropping to a whisper.“I would make him a brown one.”

  On this particular morning, she had a spelling test.“There was a topic for each of the word lists, ” she says, sitting on her knees.“This one was flowers-they were all names like oxygen, carbon dioxide, chrysanthemum(菊花)…” Chrysanthemum? “Well, they didn’t make me spell that one.They just had me fill in the ‘e’.But I can spell it:c-h-r-y-s-a-n-t-h-e-m-u-m.”
