After the board meeting, Frank began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in San Pedro. My dad was a fisherman and had his own  36 . But it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he  37 enough to feed the family.”

He looked at us and said, “I  38 you could have met my dad. He was a big man and strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he  39 like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and overalls with the rain hat  40 down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”

Frank’s voice 41 a bit as if he were back to his childhood. “When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. His truck was older than he was, which you could hear coming for 42 . As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to 43 .”

“When the truck stopped, it would throw out a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like  44 would be standing around and watching. Then he would  45  and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so  46 for me at that time.”

He paused and then went on, “I  47 that day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school, he had his  48 big smile. He started to lean toward me,  49 I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.”

“It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this  50 look on his face. My dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear  51 . I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out of the windshield. ‘You are right,’ he said, ‘You are a big boy --a man. I won’t kiss you any more.’”

Frank got a funny look on his face, and tears began to well up in his eyes as he spoke. “It wasn’t long  52 that when my dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet stayed  53 but not dad.”

I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again, “Guys, you don’t know  54 I would give to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek ... If I had been a   55 , I would never have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”

  “Keep an eye on this,”said my older brother, Paul, handing me his watch.

  “What for?”I asked.

  “I'm going to practice my diving.”

  “Off the high dive?”I asked.

  “Sure,”said Paul.“Want to join me?”

  I didn't answer.Paul knew I was terrified of heights.I could manage the low board, but the high board?Never.

  I watched enviously as Paul walked to the end of the board, paused briefly, and did a perfect jackknife.It looked so easy.

  “Hey, why not?”teased a reckless(鲁莽的)voice in my head.“You're a good simmer.”

  So when Paul came back, I said casually,“I'll take a turn, too.”And before Paul could make some remarks, I got to my feet.

  As I walked to the tower, my legs didn't seem to belong to me.Standing on the end of the board, I looked down.

  I couldn't believe how far away the water was.I felt as if I were on the edge of a cliff with a mile of air between me and a bottomless sea.I couldn't; I just couldn't.I had to get back down.But there were impatient kids on the steps behind me.Would they let me by, or would they tease me?And Paul-even in my terror I guessed what he would say.

  Suddenly I heard Paul shouting far below.“Come down right now!My watch, you're wearing my watch.”

  An unbelievably sweet relief flooded into me.I quickly turned and threaded my way through the waiting divers, murmuring,“Excuse me, sorry, I just forget about the watch…”

  I didn't even bother to pretend with Paul.He said,“I could see that you were in trouble.You were scared to death, weren't you?I nodded.

  “It happens,”said Paul.“I was scared, too, the first few times off the high board.I got over it, and so will you.But for now you're saved.”

  I said,“Me?I thought you were worried-I mean, you said you were worried-about your watch.”

  “This watch,”he said,“is waterproof.”

  Recently studies have shown that the earth is getting warmer. The scientists who carried out the studies say a large amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is the reason for the warming. CO2 is the gas which human and animals give off when They breathe. It is also produced when coal, oil and other things are burnt. Scientists have warned that this kind of burning is adding too much CO2 to the atmosphere. They believe the gas acts like a green house--the grass-topped building used to grow plants in cold weather. They say the gas is like the grass roof of a green house, which lets in sunlight, but prevents heat from running away. As a result, they say the earth becomes warmer.

  One of these scientists, Dr. Hansen, says the weather will become so hot that some rivers will dry up. On the other hand, satellite pictures show us there is less ice in the Antarctic during the summer time than in earlier years. The heat would turn all the ice at both ends of the earth into water, making the oceans rise five to seven meters higher than they are now.

(1)The weather is getting warmer because ________.

[  ]

A. there are too many human and animals on the earth

B. a lot of heat has been produced by burning of some materials

C. the sun has given more heat in recent years

D. there is a large amount of CO2 in the atmosphere

(2)Farmers in cold weather build some green houses to ________.

[  ]

A. keep warm in winter

B. get some more sunlight

C. get some heat to plant some vegetables

D. prevent some vegetables from shining

(3)Too much CO2 makes the earth warmer than before because ________.

[  ]

A. it can give heat to the earth

B. it can prevent heat from running away

C. it can absorb heat form the sun

D. it cam pollute the atmosphere

(4)According to the view of Dr. Hansen, some day in the future ________.

[  ]

A. all rivers on the earth will dry up

B. the water level on land will rise five to seven meters higher

C. all ice in the Antarctic will turn into water

D. all ice on the earth will turn into water

(5)What do you think the best way to prevent the earth from getting warmer?

[  ]

A. Many animals should be get rid of.

B. Many kinds of materials should be used again.

C. The growing increase of population should be controlled.

D. Something should be done to prevent air pollution.
