The end of my sophomore year was approaching.Mom called me at the dorm one evening during the last week of May.My summer break would be spent with grandma and grandpa, helping out around their farm.The arrangement made good sense to all the family.I wasn’t fully convinced of that myself but guessed it was just one summer.Next year would be my little brother’s turn.

I arrived late that afternoon.Grandma had fixed more food than the three of us could possibly eat.She loved me entirely too much.The next morning, Grandpa fixed breakfast for the two of us. He told me Grandma had tired herself out yesterday and was going to rest in bed a little longer.I made a mental note to myself to not ask her to do things for me while I was there.I was there to help, not be a burden.

       Weeks passed.I gradually settled into a routine of daily work with Grandpa.In the evenings I usually read or talked with Grandma.She never grew tired of hearing about college or anything I was involved in.She told me stories about her childhood, family and the early years after she and Grandpa had married.

       The last Saturday in June, Grandpa suggested going fishing.We hadn’t expected what we saw when we got to the pond that morning: One of the swans was dead.Grandpa had given the pair of swans to Grandma on their 50th anniversary.“Why don’t we see about buying another one,” I suggested, hoping the situation could somehow be righted.Grandpa thought for a few moments before answering.

       He finally said, “no...it’s not that easy, Bruce.You see, swans mate for life.” He raised his finger to point, holding the fishing pole in his other hand.“There’s nothing we can do for the one that’s left.He has to work it out for himself.”

A few days later, we drove by the pond while doing our morning check on the cows.We found the other swan lying near the same spot we had found the first one.It, too, was dead.

       The month of July started with me and Grandpa putting up a new stretch of fence.Then July 12 came.That was the day Grandma passed away.Grandma had died suddenly that morning of a stroke.By the afternoon, my parents were there.The old house was soon crowded with relatives and Grandpa’s friends.

       The funeral was held the next day.Grandpa had insisted on having it as soon as possible.On the second day after the funeral, Grandpa announced at the breakfast table, “This is a working farm. We have a lot of things to do.The rest of you should get back to your own lives.” Most of the family had already left, but this was Grandpa’s way of telling the rest it was time for them to go home.My parents were the last to leave after lunch.

       Grandpa was not a man who could outwardly express his grief around others, and we all worried about him.The rest of the summer flowed by.We stayed busy working.I thought there was something different about Grandpa but couldn’t quite put my finger on it

       September was nearing, and part of me did not want to leave.I thought of skipping the fall semester and staying around a few more months.When I mentioned it, grandpa quickly told me that my place was back at college.

The day finally came for me to pack my car and leave. I shock his hand and chanced a hug. As Idrove down the driveway, I saw him in the rearview mirror.He waved to me and then walked to the pasture gate to start the morning livestock check.

       Mom called me at school on a stormy October day to tell me Grandpa had died.A neighbor had stopped by that morning for coffee and found him in the kitchen.He died of a stroke, the same as Grandma.At that moment, I understood what he’d clumsily tried to explain to me about the swan on that morning we fished together by the pond.

55.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that            .

       A.Bruce regarded working on the farm as a rare chance

       B.Bruce longed to enjoy himself freely on the farm

       C.the brothers took turns to attend their grandparents

       D.Bruce was not happy with his parents’ arrangement

56.What did the writer think at the sight of the first dead swan?

       A.Another swan should be bought in place of the dead one.

       B.The other was bound to die since swans mate for life.

       C.Grandma would be in deep sorrow over its death.

       D.The living can do nothing for the dead.

57.Grandpa quickly dismissed the family after the funeral because            .

       A.he wanted to carry on with his farm work

       B.he tended to deal with grief in life by himself

       C.he didn’t want his normal life disturbed

       D.he took for granted the matter of life and death

58.By “I couldn’t put my fingers on it”, the writer means that            .

       A.I could do nothing to help him out of grief

       B.I was so busy that I couldn’t give a hand to Grandpa

       C.I couldn’t tell exactly what was different about my Grandpa

       D.I stayed busy working and couldn’t keep Grandpa’s company

59.Which of the following best describes Grandpa’s character?

       A.Outgoing, clumsy and considerate.             B.Loyal, considerate and independent.

       C.Talkative, clumsy and independent.            D.Romantic, outgoing and loyal.

60.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

       A.Mate For Life         B.Unforgettable Summer Break

       C.Death of Swans      D.Everlasting Love Story

Though I have traveled in hundreds of trains, few unusual things have ever happened to me. But one day in a train something did happen. I do not mean that I was hurt: no one was hurt.
I do my work in a hot country far away from England. Every September I go there to do my business, and every July I come back to England to have a rest. So every September I go to Paris and take a train from the great French city to Mendova, and at Mendova I catch my ship.
There is one very fast train from Paris to Mendova, and it suits me well. It goes as far as Endoran, but it stops at Mendova for a few minutes to let travelers get out or in. It is called The Flying Bluebird. It reaches Mendova at seven minutes past nine in the morning, and it is never late.
A ship leaves Mendova at half past eleven, and so you will understand that The Flying Bluebird suits me very well. I always travel by it, and I have nearly two and a half hours at Mendova to go from the station to the ship. That is more than enough time.
Well, one September night, I took my place in The Flying Bluebird as usual. The train leaves Paris at nine o’clock every night, and I was in my place soon after half past eight. There were three or four people there with me, but very soon a lot of others got into the train. When no more people could sit down, they began to stand up near us and also in the corridor(走廊). In a short time the corridor was full too, and it was impossible for any more travelers to get into the train.
I could see a lot of other people outside the corridor windows, but they could not get in, and the train left Paris without them. The man sitting next to me started to ask all kinds of questions: “Where do you work? How long does it take you to get there? Are you married? How many children do you have? How much money do they pay you every year? How much do you have in the bank? How much do you spend every month?”
He asked questions for about twenty minutes but I did not give him any clear answers, and at last he stopped and began to read the paper.
I usually sleep quite well in the train, but this time I slept only a little. There were too many people, and there were too many things: small bags, large bags, coats, hats, boxes, newspapers and food. As usual, we got angry about the window. Most people wanted it shut, and two of us wanted it open. But that always happens. It was shut all night, as usual.
When I awoke in the early morning I felt hot and dirty, and glad that the journey was reaching its end. At seven minutes past nine The Flying Bluebird stopped. We were at Mendova, and I stood up thankfully. I took my two suitcases, held one in each hand, and tried to move towards the door into the corridor. In order to get out of the train, I had to pass down the corridor to the door at the far end. There was no other way out.
I could not even into the corridor. There was a suitcase on the floor by my feet, and three men were standing in my way. I felt a touch of fear. I had to get out, you see; I had to catch my ship, which left at half past eleven. And the train did not stop again until it reached Endoran, two hundred miles away.
“I must get out!” I cried. Everyone there understood me, but no one could move.
At last I was able to put one foot over the suitcase on the floor, and I nearly reached the door into the corridor. But then, very slowly, the train began to move. It was taking me away!
“Stop!” I cried. “I want to get out!” But no one outside the train could hear me, and the people inside did not care much. The train moved a little faster. What could I do? I was not even in the corridor.
Fear made me think quickly. In front of my eyes, just, above the door, was a notice that told everyone how to stop the train. I had to pull an iron thing near the notice. I did not waste time. I pulled it.
Well, a noise started above our heads. That was to show everyone that there was something wrong. It was not a small sound. Possibly the men in my ship two miles away could hear it. Then the train stopped.
No one likes to stop a train if there is no need. But I had to catch my ship. That was the only thought in my mind: to get out and catch my ship.
