     A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.
     All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake(分享,参与)
of the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time.
     The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his
black tuxedo(礼服). Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
     A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, "I read in a magazine, a
while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage," she offered. "Each of us will write a list
of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we
can fix them together and make our lives happier together."
     The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of
the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the
day and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they
decided that they would go over their lists.
     "I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three
pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were
starting to appear in her husband's eyes.
     "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing," the husband replied, "keep reading your list."
     The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly
placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.
     "Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists," she said
happily.
     Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the
way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful
and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you." The wife, touched by his honesty
and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
     In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We
don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light
and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when
we can look around us, and see the wondrous(奇妙的) things before us?

1. From Paragraphs1-3, the author wants mainly to tell us that_____.

A. they were happy and loved each other
B. their friends and family had a good time
C.the wedding ceremony was large
D. the bride was charming in white wedding gown

A. She has read a magazine about marriage.
B. Her relatives advise her to do so.
C. her husband does have some shortcomings.
D. She wants to strengthen the marriage.

3. Which of the following words can best describe the character of the groom?

      A few years ago I asked my children's governess, Julia Vassilyevna, to come into my study.
     " Sit down, Julia Vassilyevna," I said."Let's settle our accounts. Although you most likely need some
money, you stand on ceremony and won't ask for it yourself. Now then, we agree on thirty rubles a
month…"
    " Forty."
    " No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay the governess thirty. Now then, you've been here two
months, so…"
    " Two months and five days."
    " Exactly two months. I made a specific note of it. That means you have sixty rubles coming to you.
Subtract nine Sundays… you know you didn't work with Kolya on Sundays, you only took walks. And
three holidays…"
     Julia Vassilyevna flushed a deep red and picked at the flounce of her dress, but-not a word.
    " Three holidays, therefore take off twelve rubles. Four days Kolya was sick and there were no
lessons, as you were occupied only with Vanya. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you
permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven-nineteen. Subtract…that leaves…hmm…forty-one
rubles. Correct?"
     Julia Vassilyena's left eye reddened and filled with moisture. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but-not a word.
     " Around New Year's you broke a teacup and saucer: take off two rubles. The cup cost more, it was
an heirloom, but-let it go. When didn't I take a loss? Then, due to your neglect, Kolya climbed a tree
and tore his jacket: take off ten. Also due to your heedlessness the maid stole Vanya's shoes. You ought
to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more rubles off. The tenth of January I gave
you ten rubles…"
     " You didn't " whispered Julia Vassilyevna.
     " But I made a note of it."
     " Well…all right."
     " Take twenty-seven from forty-one-that leaves fourteen."
     Both eyes filled with tears. Perspiration appeared on the thin, pretty little nose. Poor girl!
     " Only once was I given any money," she said in a trembling voice, " and that was by your wife. Three
rubles, nothing more."
     " Really? You see now, and I didn't make a note of it! Take three from fourteen… leaves eleven.
Here's your money, my dear. Three , three, three, one and one. Here it is!"
     I handed her eleven rubles. She took them and with trembling fingers stuffed them into her pocket.
     " Merci," she whispered.
     I jumped up and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger.
     " For what, this-'merci'?" I asked.
     " For the money."
     " But you know I've cheated you, God's sake-robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why
this 'merci'?"
     " In my other places they didn't give me anything at all."
     " They didn't give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach
you … I'm going to give you the entire eighty rubles! Here they are in an envelope all ready for you…Is it
really possible to be so spineless? Why don't you protest? Why be silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws-to be such a nincompoop?"
     She smiled crookedly and I read in her expression: " It is possible."
     I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and , to her great surprise, gave her the eighty rubles. She
murmured her litter "merci" several times and went out. I looked after her and thought: "How easy it is to
crush the weak in this world!"

　　A year ago I began training to swim the English Channel．I will be 58 years old．My friends thought I had lost my mind, and my wife was somewhat worried．The question I was asked over and over was this, “Why?”

　　When a student reporter at Indiana recently asked me this question, I said, “First, let me ask you a question．What are your plans for this summer?”

　　He replied that he was going to work in a supermarket．I didn’t have to say more．He understood my point．

　　A challenge and something of an adventure are welcome whether you are 20 or 58, and preparing to swim the Channel is far better than working in a supermarket, especially when you have a choice．

　　But why did I decide to swim the Channel at 58?Perhaps I myself can hardly give a satisfactory answer．

　　The Channel has always been the greatest challenge to swimmers, a test of ability, luck, and even bravery．It is this challenge that attracts about 100 swimmers a year, who are willing to spend time, effort, and money trying it．

　　One fact that adds to my interest is that, if I succeed, I will be the oldest person ever to swim the Channel．

　　I don’t think I am a superman．I do think I have at least two things in favor：

　　First, I am training hard－now swimming 7 and a half miles a day．Second, I am a resolute(有决心的)man．Once I set up a goal, I won’t give it up easily．And this swim has long been a goal．I have a feeling－I will be mentally ready．

　　On the other hand there was a young girl who was attempting(试图)to finish her swim when the ocean got rough．She was having a hard time with the rough and cold water, when her trainer shouted to her from the boat that he thought she should give up and get out of the water．She shouted back, “I’m doing the swimming, and I’ll decide when to get out．” She made it．

(1)

The statement “He understood my point” could be most suitably replaced by “_________”．
[　　]
A．	he understood it was difficult for me to give a proper answer
B．	he understood I did not like his question and did not want to answer it
C．	he understood what my question meant：setting up a challenging goal makes life more interesting
D．	he understood I thought little of his plans for that summer．

(2)

“She made it” means “_________”．
[　　]
A．	she reached her goal
B．	she proved she was right
C．	she made a good show of her courage and bravery
D．	she set a good example for others to follow

(3)

Most likely, the author decided to swim the Channel because he _________．
[　　]
A．	does not fully realize the difficulties he may meet with
B．	has made a bet(打赌)that he could do so
C．	wants very much to show off his superman ability
D．	enjoys challenges

(4)

Which of the following statements would the author most readily agree with?
[　　]
A．	Old people lose their sense of adventure．
B．	Only an old person would attempt the Channel．
C．	Life’s challenges can be overcome at any age．
D．	People should recognize the dangers of physical stress．

(5)

From the passage we know the author is _________．
[　　]
A．	determined
B．	careful
C．	friendly
D．	romantic
