13.Samantha(her husband,John,called her Sam)left the doctor's house looking perfect,satisfied with her appearance.The year was 1862.It seemed that the war with the North would never come to an end.Sam's father had left as soon as possible,fighting for their land,for their new government,for the South.
At last,Samantha reached the house that she and John owned.It was a cold,rainy night,and she was glad to be home.She stepped into the sitting room.John sat in an armchair,reading a book.When he saw her,he put the book down,and stood,reaching his arms out for her.They kissed briefly.He put a hand to her now slightly round belly(肚子) and asked,"What did the doctor say?"
"He said the baby was fine and that I seemed healthy.Do you have any news?"
"Surprisingly,yes."John hesitated for a moment,as if deciding how he would stop what he was about to say,and then unwillingly continued,"I've been required to join the army."
Sam screamed,"What?"She was near tears."But-but we're just starting out."Her voice shook."I thought that after two years of begging my mother to let the two of us get married that our life would finally be happy.Isn't there any way you can get out of this?"
John answered,"I'm afraid not."
"Please.Please,John,if you love me,please get out of this.Break a leg or do something."She began to cry.John comforted her,resting her head on his shoulder.
"Sam."
"What?"
"Name the child after me; name it John or Joanna.I'll come back as soon as I can.I promise."
Sam smiled,knowing that John never broke a promise.She put her hand to her belly,and,unknown to her,the baby was a girl.
And unknown to both of them,the promise that John had just made would be the only promise he would ever break.

分析 萨曼莎(她的丈夫,约翰,叫她的山姆)离开医生的房子时看起来很完美,对她的外表很满意.
这一年是1862,似乎与北方的战争永远不会结束,山姆的父亲尽快离开了,为他们的土地,为他们的新政府,为南部而去战斗.
最后,萨曼莎到了她和约翰拥有的房子,那是一个下雨的夜晚,天气很冷,她回到家很高兴.她走进客厅,约翰坐在一张扶手椅上,正读一本书.当他看到她时,他把书放下,站起来,拥着她的手臂.他们轻轻的亲吻了一下.他把一只手放在她现在稍微圆圆的肚子上问道:"医生说了什么?"
"他说这个孩子很好,我看起来很健康,你有什么消息吗?"
"令人惊讶的是,是的."约翰犹豫了一会儿,好像如何决定阻止他要说什么,然后他不情愿地继续说,"我已经被要求参军了."
山姆尖叫道:"什么?"她差点哭了,"但我们才刚刚开始,"她的声音颤抖着,"我想,经过两年的乞求我的母亲让我们两个结婚,我们的生活将是幸福的,没有任何方式可以摆脱这个吗?"
约翰回答说:"恐怕不行."
"求求你,约翰,如果你爱我,请别离开这儿.折断一条腿或做点什么."她开始哭了.约翰安慰她,把她的头靠在他的肩膀上.
"Sam."
"什么?"
"在我名字之后起名吧,叫约翰或乔安娜,我会尽快回来的,我保证."
山姆笑了,知道约翰从来没有违背过一个承诺,她把她的手给她的肚子,她不知道,婴儿是一个女孩.
他们两人都不知道,约翰刚刚做出的承诺是他唯一不会实现的承诺.

39.B.判断推理题.根据for their new government可知,一个新的政府建立了是正确的.ACD选项在文中没有涉及.故选B.
40.A.判断推理题.根据上文中约翰参军以及Isn't there any way you can get out of this可知,约翰折断腿是为了避免参军.故选A.
41.D.判断推理题.通过阅读全文可知,约翰给山姆做出活着回来的承诺,但文中又说And unknown to both of them,the promise that John had just made would be the only promise he would ever break这是他唯一不能实现的承诺,据此我们可推测出,约翰没有活着回来.故选D.

Watching TV can help your children learn about lots of things,such as music,other countries,and many other things.They will learn about what is good and what is bad.TV also provides children with up-to-date information about the outside world.
However,it's not right to say that watching TV doesn't have any bad effect on children.You can't let them watch TV as much as they want.Watching TV takes a lot of time.Children need to discover the world by themselves,not just from TV.Besides,children are growing and they need to move around and get lots of exercise.Sitting still and watching TV too much will make children become weaker physically.
Most children like to eat snacks while watching TV.That will make them put on weight.To make it worse,there may be too many ads and violent(暴力的)scenes on TV.These things,of course,are bad for children.
As parents,you should control the amount of TV that your children watch.You have to choose the right channels for them,and shouldn't let the TV be on all day.Turn it off right after their programmes end.Encourage them to take part in outdoor activities and do more things.Never put a TV in the bedroom,especially in your children's room!
