  I was deep in thought preparing a lecture to be given that evening at college across town, when the phone rang.A woman I had   1   met introduced herself and said that she was the mother of a seven-year-old boy and that she was   2  .She said that her doctor had advised her that discussing her coming death with her little boy would be too   3   for him, but somehow that didn't feel right to her.

    4   that I worked with grieving① children, she asked for my advice.I told her that our heart was often smarter than our brain and that I thought she knew what would be best for her son.I also   5   her to attend the lecture that night since I was speaking about how children deal with   6  .She said she would be there.

  I wondered later if I would   7   her at the lecture, but my question was answered when I saw a   8   woman being half-carried into the room by two adults.I talked about the fact that children usually   9   the truth long before they are told and that they often wait until they feel adults are   10   to talk about it before sharing that concerns and questions.I said that children usually can deal with truth better than denial(否认)  11   the denial is intended to protect them from pain.I said that respecting children meant   12   them in the family sadness, not shutting them out.

  At the break, she hobbled(蹒跚)to me and   13   her tears she said,“I knew it in my heart, I just knew I should tell him.”She said that she   14   that night.

  The next morning I received another phone call from her.I managed to   15   the story through her choked② voice.She awakened him when they got home the night before and   16   said,“Derek, I have something to tell you.”

  He quickly interrupted③ her saying,“Oh, Mommy, is it now that you are going to   17   me that you are dying?”

  She   18   him close and they both sobbed while she said,“Yes.”

  After a few minutes the little boy went down(从怀里下来).He said that he had   19   for her.In the back of one of his drawers(抽屉)was a dirty pencil box.  20   the box was a letter.It said,“Good-bye, Mom.I shall always love you.”

  There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day to work at Monk’s House.The floors in the house were very thin.The bathroom was directly above the kitchen, and when Mrs.Wolf was having her bath before breakfast, I could hear her talking to herself.On and on she went, talked, talked, talked, asking questions and giving herself the answers.I thought there must have been two or three people up there with her.Later Mrs.Woolf explained that Mrs.Woolf always said the sentences out loud what she had written during the night.She needed to know if they sounded right and the bath was a place for trying them out.

  I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk’s House-Mr.and Mrs.Woolf came into the kitchen at eight o’clock every morning to make it.When we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs.Woolf’s room I noticed that there were pencils and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up she could work, and sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep.

  Mrs.Woolf’s bedroom was outside the house in the garden.I used to think how inconvenient it must be to have to go out in the rain to go to bed.Her bedroom had been added on to the back of the house; the door faced the garden and a window at the side opened out on to a field.Because the writing room was small.Mr.Woolf had had a large one built for her at the end of the garden against the church wall.

  I can always remember her coming out of her writing room only for lunch each day.She used to walk down through the thin and very graceful, with large, deep set eyes.She wore long skirts in the fashion of the day, any silk jackets of the same color, which suited her well.I pressed her clothes and did any sewing that was necessary.

  Her cigarettes were made from a special tobacco called My Mixture.Mr.Woolf bought it for her in London, and in the evenings, they used to sit by the fire and make these cigarettes themselves.

D

Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected.

  Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. However, I am an outspoken girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words from their boyfriends.

  I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “If someone does not love you in the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.” This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.

  One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. Upon arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续). When I was put on a drip(输液), he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still whispering to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have waken up. At that moment, I found love in his sparkling eyes.

  Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.

  My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father, understand me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.

67. Why does the author envy other girls of her age?

A. Their boyfriends look more handsome.        B. Their boyfriends express love directly.

C. They win a lot of praise from colleagues.      D. They often receive roses.

68. The word “sullen” in Paragraph 3 can be best replaced by “          ”.

A. cheerful                      B. calm                     C. happy                  D. bad

69. The author mentioned her experience in hospital to show Andy           .

A. loves her greatly              B. is always careless      C. is sometimes shy       D. is good at telling stories

70. The writer writes the passage to tell us that           .

A. Andy is very outspoken                                B. Andy is a perfect husband

C. Andy has his own way to express love         D. Andy cares more about others

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

  We had hardly got above the clouds over the airport when a calm voice said over the loudspeaker:“For technical reasons we shall be returning immediately to London Airport. Please keep your seatbelts fastened.”

  I was rather surprised and glanced at the old lady next to me. She had been very chatty while we were waiting to take off.

  “I'm going to New York to visit some relatives there. I always sleep wonderfully welt whenever I get into a plane.”she had told me.

  And indeed, she seemed to he in a very deep sleep already.

  Just then a passenger behind me shouted,“Oh, my God! The wing's on fire.”

  I looked out of the window and my blood froze. Smoke and flames were pouring out of one of the engines. The plane was already turning and losing altitude fast.

  “What's happening? Are we going to crash?”an American in front of me demanded.

  The cabin crew were already moving up and down the aisle (走道), reassuring (安慰) people, saying things like,“It's just all right. There's no need to worry. Now, if you just sit still, everything will be all right. Don't get up. Don't get upset.”

  I looked out again. The ground was rushing up at us with shocking speed. We were already so low that I could make out cars and even people.

“It's only a slight emergency,”a stewardess told me with a tense smile.

Suddenly there was a sickening bump and we were rushing along the runway at a terrifying speed. The brakes screeched (发出尖锐刺耳的声音). The engines roared even more loudly. We came to a trembling stop. The cabin crew quickly opened the emergency exits and the passengers began sliding down huge, stocking-like chutes (滑道) to the ground. A fire engine was already putting out the fire in one engine. I had to shake the old lady violently to wake her up.

  “What's wrong? Surely the journey isn't over already! I mean, have we got to New York?”she asked sleepily.

1.When did the emergency occur?

[  ]

A.We are not told.
