I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once   36  and did not know the   37  very well. I was on the   38  after I had made some enquiries.
At Ashvelle, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut(小道,近路). The short cut was to   39  several hills and was dangerous, I hesitated (犹豫)for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be   40 .
Something strange happened   41  I drove a long way and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to   42 , but the hilly road I decided to avoid. I realized that it was at the   43  that I had made the   44  mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself. If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thinking it   45  , I decided to go on. “If   46  people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I   47  myself.
The short cut, to my surprise, was not that   48 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road,   49  up and down two low   50  .There was   51  traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and   52  with cows and horses. My fear was   53  with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立体声), I drove on and   54  the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me   55 . It was just in this light heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.

Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to have a  36  this summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a  37. One of her colleagues needed a full-time  38 . “You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why not volunteer to  39  to Nick instead?” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a  40  child.
Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centres would not  41  him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium(平衡)problems.He couldn’t  42  or run properly. I was  43  if I was to take the job when my mother 44  , “Don’t you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the  45 .”
Then I told her I was  46  for the job.
The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little  47  , he was quite a mix.
At the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy’s face  48  up—How he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be  49  to get a child to go down a slide. Believe me, it wasn’t! It took him a lot of time. But with patience and support. Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his  50  and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.
Halfway through the summer, he  51  it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his  52  . After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big 53 and asked, “May I go down again alone?”
I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children  54  for granted.
This  55  child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.

科目:高中英语 来源:不详 题型:阅读理解

Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America. Rightly so, but selfishly, I’m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.
  Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers.
  These images have helped define the way all women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.
  It won’t be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.
  Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they’d like to see Michelle bring to the White House—mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone—an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉着), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that’s been around for far too long.
小题1:Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?
A.She serves as a role model for African women.
B.She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady.
C.She will present to the world a new image of African-American women.
D.She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women.
小题2:What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author?
A.They are victims of violence.
B.They are of an inferior violence.
C.They use quite a lot of body language.
D.They live on charity and social welfare.
小题3:What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs?
A.Whether Michelle can live up to the high expectations of her fans.
B.How Michelle should behave as a public figure.
C.How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House.
D.What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the White House.
小题4:What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?
A.However many fans she has, she should remain modest,
B.She shouldn’t disappoint the African-American community.
C.However hard she tries, she can’t expect to please everybody.
D.She will give priority to African-American women’s concerns.
小题5:What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will do?
A.Help change the prevailing view about black women.
B.Help her husband in the task of changing America.
C.Outshine previous First Lady.
D.Fully display her fine qualities.
