Field Trip Day

On Friday, May 6, our class will take a field trip to North Park Zoo. The zoo has lions, elephants, and other interesting animals. Many of the animals we have been studying will be there for us to closely observe.

Our class will be divided into six teams. Each team will have five students and one leader. The leaders are listed in the table.

Tom was a clever boy, but his parents were poor, so he had to work in his spare time and during his holidays to pay for his education. In spite of this, he managed to get to the university, but it was so expensive to study there that during the holiday he found it necessary to get two jobs at the same time so as to make enough money to pay for his studies.

One summer he managed to get a job in a butcher’s shop(肉店)during the day-time, and another in a hospital at night. In the shop, he learnt to cut meat quite nicely, so the butcher often left him to do all the serving while he went to the back room to do the accounts(账目). In the hospital, on the other hand, he was, of course, allowed to do the simplest jobs, like helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another. Both at the butcher’s shop and at the hospital, Tom had to wear white clothes.

One evening at the hospital, Tom had to carry a woman from her bed to the place where she was to have an operation. The woman was already feeling frightened at the thought of the operation before he came to get her, but when she saw Tom, that finished her. “No! No!” she cried．“Not my butcher! I won’t be operated on by my butcher!” and fainted away(昏厥).

24. Tom made enough money by ________. A. doing two jobs B. working in a butcher’s shop C. cutting meat well D. studying in the university 25. Tom was a student, but at the same time he was__________.

A. a butcher and a doctor B. a manager and a doctor C. an assistant D. a manager 26. The woman patient recognized Tom because ____________.

A. he was wearing white clothes B. he was going to operate on her C. he was now working in the hospital D. he had sold meat to her

27. The underlined sentence “when she saw Tom, that finished her” means that the sight

of Tom _________.

A. plunged her into deep sorrow B. took all her strength and courage away C. broke her heart D. made her decide to have an operation

C

We were traveling to the Caribbean with our three kids aged 12, 7 and 4. Being from Chicago, we were all in need of a little sun and sand after an especially cold and long winter.

Before the trip, my eldest child asked if we could consider getting him a waterproof case for his iPhone. He thought it would be fun to take pictures and videos of his brother and sister underwater in the pool. That made sense to us, and we agreed that it could make great memory of good time. We bought the case for him.

Down to vacation we went with waterproof case. We performed the suggested water test, and into the pool he went. Pow! That was the end of the phone. Water immediately leaked (渗入) into it and the phone was never turned on again.

Now, this could be a post about what a poorly-designed product the case is, but in fact, that is not what I’m writing about.

Actually, what truly surprised us was what happened to our 12-year-old over the course of the next seven days of our vacation. Aside from the initial (最初的) five minutes after the phone died, our son never mentioned his phone again.

Instead of his usual plugged-in state, he spent much of the vacation reading books, playing silly games with his sister and brother and talking to us at dinner. Normally when we’re on vacation and he and his sister and brother are done with eating, he’ll leave the table to text friends or check sports scores. But with no phone, there was no pull to keep in touch with his friends or to look at the latest posts. Instead, our almost-13-year-old played tag with his 4-year-old sister, ran after chickens with his 7-year-old brother and entertained them with games while we finished our meals. At the end of the trip, when we asked him about the lack of phone, he admitted it was nice to have a break from the constant chatting and keeping in touch with friends.

I’m not saying I intentionally hope his phone dies again, but it does give us time to consider about whether or not we should make the kids leave their cell phones at home as part of the spring break contract. Or at least we should severely curtail phone usage on vacation.

28. Why did the author’s eldest son want a waterproof case for his iPhone? A. To put his phone away. B. To make his phone beautiful. C. To limit his phone use. D. To protect his phone underwater. 29. What probably surprised the author most during the vacation? A. The change in his eldest son. B. The function of the iPhone.

C. The power of children’s games. D. The relationship between his children.

30. How does the author’s eldest son feel about the lack of phone?

A. Fine. B. Upset. C. Excited. D. Uncomfortable.

31. The underlined word “curtail” in the last paragraph probably means_________. A. practice B. forbid C. continue D. increase

D

How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning to write but have never yet found the time? Far too many．

This is Life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal(排演)and, unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments.

We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families, always making ourselves believe that this style of life is only a temporary(暂时的)state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly given a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to come along were in fact real life.

In America they have a saying much laughedat by the English: “Have a nice day.” They speak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, making us remember, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day．

How often do we say to ourselves “I’ll take up horse-riding(or golf, or sailing)as soon as I get a greater job.”？ But only to do none of those things when we do get the higher position．

When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well-paid respectable job at Daily Telegraph to go and work for a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was surprised by his decision: Why was he in this completely abnormal mental(精神) state? How could anyone turn his back on Fleet Street in central London for a small area in the countryside? I wanted to know.

Now when I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continuous pressure. He lived in all unattractive London suburb(郊区)and he spent much of his life sitting on Southern Region trains to and back from his work．

32. The first paragraph of the passage tells us that ． A. we always try to find some time to write a book B. we always make plans but seldom complete them C. we always enjoy many of life’s best moments D. we always do what we really want to do

33. The underlined phrase “turn his back on” (Paragraph 6) most probably

means ． A. leave for B. return to C. rely on D. give up

34. The man who worked at Daily Telegraph left this job because he was ． A. under too much pressure B. in an abnormal mental state C. not well-paid D. not respected 35. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Provide Homes for Our Family B. Take Up Horse-Riding

C. Value This Very Day D. Stay Alive
