Moses Mendelssohn, the grandfather of the well-known German composer（作曲家）,was far from being handsome. Along with a rather short stature, he had a hunchback（驼背）

One day he visited a merchant in Hamburg who had a lovely daughter named Frumtje. Moses fell hopelessly in love with her. But Moses was refused by his ugly appearance.

When it was time for him to leave, Moses picked up his courage and climbed the stairs to her room to take one last chance to speak with her. She was a heavenly beauty, but caused him deep sadness by her refusal to look at him. After several attempts at conversation, Moses shyly asked, “Do you believe marriages are made in heaven？”

“Yes, ”She answered, still looking at the floor. “And do you？”

“Yes I do, ”He replied. “You see, in heaven at the birth of each boy, the God announces which girl he will marry. When I was born, my future bride was pointed out to me. Then the God added, ‘But your wife will be humpbacked. ’”“Right then and there I called out, ‘Oh God, a humpbacked woman would be a tragedy. Please, God, give me the hump and let her be beautiful. ’”

Then Frumtje looked up into his eyes and was stirred by some deep memory. She reached out and gave Mendelssohn her hand and later became his devoted wife.

A marketing director for a famous computer manufacturer was designing a new advertisement for his company. While researching consumers’ response to his product, he asked, “Ships are commonly referred to as ‘she’ or ‘her’. What gender （性别）would you give to your computer? Give four reasons to support your answer. ”

A large group of women reported that the computers should be referred to as “he” or “him” because:

②They have a lot of data, but are still hard to understand.

③They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are problems.

④As soon as you buy one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a better model.

Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma（文凭）or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma. Continuing education gives these adults the chance to increase their knowledge. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones. If they know more or learn more, then they can get a better job or earn more money.

There are usually a large number of classes to choose from. Some adults take classes for fun

or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves. Others can learn how to be good parents , or how to get along with other people.

    There are many chances for adults to continue their learning. Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, buildings, or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive. Thousands of people take continuing education classes each year. They receive no diploma and no grade for most of the classes they attend. For them, learning is something they do because they want to.

1．Attending continuing education classes         .

       A．doesn’t cost much money                    B．in expensive

       B．there are many courses they can choose from

       C．they can also go to church at the same time

       A．Adults can continue their learning to get a diploma.

       B．Most continuing education classes are in the evening.

Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.

Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.

It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

1．To become a leader in a game the child has to             .

     A．play often                              B．wait for his turn

      C．be confident in himself                   D．be popular among his playmates

2．What do we know about grown-ups?

       A．They are not interested in games.

       B．They find children’s games too easy.

       C．They don’t need a reason to play games.

       D．They don’t understand children’s games.

3．A child likes playing games, because he          .

       A．can be someone other than himself

       B．can become popular among friends

       C．finds he is always lucky in games

      D．likes the place where he plays a game

4. The writer believes that             .

       A．children should make better rules for their games.

       B．children should invite grown-ups to play with them.

       C．children play games without any reasons

       D．children’s games can do them a lot of harm

 “BANG!” the door caused a reverberation. “Never set foot in this house again!” shouted Father. With tears welling（涌出） up in my eyes, I rushed out of the house and ran along the street.

A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space：happy and harmonious.

       But now I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．

    I wandered the street，without a destination in my mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people in the streets，until I had only street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high -rise apartment block in which I lived，I saw that the light was still on．

I thought to myself，“Is father waiting for me．or is he still angry with me?”

    In fact，it was nothing．Perhaps，Dad was throwing some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．

    All the lights were off except father’s.

    Dad was always 1ike this．Maybe he didn’t know bow to express himself．After shouting at me，he never showed any mercy or regret After an argument he will creep（蹑手蹑脚）up in my sleep and then tuck me underneath the covers

    This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．

    The light was still on. With the key in hand，I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last，I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love－it is second to none．
