Fun is hardto have.
Fun is a rarejewel.
Somewherealong the line people got the modern idea that fun was there for the asking,that people
deserved fun, that if we didn’t have a little fun every day, wewould turn into puritans(
清教徒
)
.

“Was it fun?”became the question that overshadowed all other questions. When the pleasure gotto
be the main thing, the fun fetish (
迷恋
) was sure to follow. Everything was supposedto be fun. If it
wasn’t fun, then we were going to make it fun, or else.

Think of allthe things that got the reputation of being fun. Family outings were supposedto be fun.
Education was supposed to be fun. Work was supposed to be fun. WaltDisney, church and staying fit
were supposed to be fun.
Fun got to besuch a big thing that everybody started to look for more and more thrillingways to
supply it. One way was to step up the level of danger so that you couldbe sure that, no matter what,
you would manage to have a little fun.
Big occasionswere supposed to be fun, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter. But we
endedup going through every Big Event we ever celebrated, waiting for the fun to I should tell
you
justin case you’re worried about your fun capacity while you are sitting aroundwaiting for the fun
to start, that not much is.
I don’tmean to put a damper on things. I just mean we ought to
treat fun
is a mystery. It cannot be caught like a virus. It cannot be trapped like ananimal. When
fun comes in on little dancing feet, we probably won’t beexpecting it. In fact, I bet it comes when
we’re doing our duty, our job.

I rememberone day, long ago, on which I had an especially good time. Pam Davis and I,aged 12,
walked into a store that morning to buy some candy. She got herBit-O-Honey. I got my malted milk
balls, chocolate stars. Then we started backto her house. It was a long way to Pam’s house but every
time we got weary, Pamwould put her hand over her eyes, scan the horizon like a sailor and say,
“Weought to reach home by nightfall,” at which point the two of us would laughuntil we thought we
couldn’t stand it another minute. Then after we got calm,she’d say it aga
in. You should have been
there. It was the kind of day andfriendship and occasion that made me deeply regretful that I had to
grow up.
It is fun.
58. Whatdoes the author mainly want to talk about in this passage?
A. Thedefinition of fun. importance of fun.
C. The best wayto find fun. common occasions to find fun.
59. When the author tells us to
“treat fun

reverently”
, she is encouraging us to ________.
A. look forwardto having fun B. showgreat respect for fun
C. have fun lessfrequently D. teachothers how to have fun
60. Whowould benefit most from the article?

A. Those whohave great fun in big occasions.
B. Those who preferfriendship to having fun.
C. Those who areworried about not having fun.
D. Those who regrethaving grown up.

An eclipse happens when one heavenly body such as amoon or planet passes into the shadow of
another heavenly body. There are twotypes of eclipses on Earth: lunar eclipses and solar eclipses.
The moon orbits Earth and, at the same time, Earthorbits the sun. Sometimes Earth moves
between the sun and the moon. When thishappens, Earth blocks the light from the sun. This is an
eclipse of the moon
—
alunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse can occur only when the moon is full and can
beseen from Earth at night.
There are two types oflunar eclipses: total lunar eclipses and partial lunar eclipses.
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon and thesun are on exact opposite sides of Earth. The
moon is in Earth’s shadow and thesunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere, which causes Earth’s
atmosphere tofilter or block out most of the blue light. However, a partial lunar eclipsehappens when
only a part of the moon ente
rs Earth’s shadow. What people seefrom Earth during a partial lunar
eclipse depends on how the sun, Earth andmoon are lined up.
A lunar eclipse usuallylasts for a few hours. At least two partial lunar eclipses happen every
year,but total lunar eclipses are rare. It is safe to look directly at a lunareclipse although a pair of
binoculars can certainly help the viewer appreciatethe beauty of this phenomenon.
Sometimes when the moonorbits Earth, it moves between the sun and Earth. When this happens, the
moonblocks the light of the sun from reaching Earth. This causes an eclipse of thesun, or solar eclipse.
During a solar eclipse, the moon casts a shadow ontoEarth.
There are three types of solar eclipses
：
total solar eclipses, partial solareclipses and annular
eclipses (
日环食
). During a solar eclipse, the moon casts two shadows on eclipses happen
once every 18 months. Unlike lunar eclipses, solareclipses only last for a few minutes.
Scientists use solareclipses as an opportunity to study the
sun’s corona (
日冕
). The corona is the
sun’s toplayer. During an annular eclipse, NASA (the U.S. space agency) uses ground andspace
instruments to view the corona when the moon blocks the sun’s

glare
. The sudden blocking ofthe sun
during an eclipse reduces the light and changes the temperature on theground. This creates conditions
that can affect local weather and animalbehavior.

It’s important to neverlook directly at the sun —
it can permanently damage your eyes! Solar
radiationthat occurs during an ec
lipse of the Sun can cause a form of burns of one’seyes known as
eclipse blindness. In fact, the only way to safely view a solareclipse is by using specially-designed
equipment.
61. What canwe know about “a lunar eclipse”?

A. It may create conditions that can affectlocal weather and animal behavior.
B. It can be seen whenthe moon and the sun are on exact opposite sides of Earth.
C. It usually happensonce every 18 months and only lasts for a few minutes each time.
D. Ithappens when the moon blocks the light from the sun, which causes the moon to shine.
62. Which of the following can replace theunderlined word “glare”?

A. heat C. shine D. radiation
63. It canbe inferred from the passage that ________.
A. people will experience a temperature drop when lunar eclipses happen
B. eclipsesare the result of the shadow cast by the moon onto Earth
C. total lunar eclipses are more difficult to observe than other types oflunar eclipses
D. there can be eclipses even if the three heavenly bodies are notexactly lined up
is it safer to watch a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse?
A. Because moonlight is not as strong assunlight.
B. Because a lunar eclipse lasts longer thana solar eclipse.
C. Because special equipment can be employedto view a lunar eclipse.
D. Because a lunar eclipse has much moresteady light than solar eclipse.

The eyeliner makes the dark circles lesspronounced. The lipstick hides the trembling. The
ponytail (
马尾辫
) masks missing patches of hair. I might looka bit thinner, but everyone will ask about
my new diet. One hour of preparationand I look like myself. One hour out of 24. Sometimes I wonder
if it’s worth it–
wasting a twenty-fourth of my day on a lie.
Checking my makeup one last time, I slip on acute pair of flats
–
heels are too dangerous with
shaky legs
–
and grab myHollister bag. Walking downstairs, I breathe in the sweet smell of waffles
and juice.
“Morning, Mom,” I call.

“Morning, baby,”

she sings. “Did you sleepwell?”

“Better than I have been.”

She sighs, and her eyes look a hundred yearsold for a minute. “Any improvement is good,” she
says half-heartedly.
“Of course.”

“I made waffles.”

“Thanks, Mom. Smells delicious.”

I sit at the table and she hands me a thought of all that food turns my stomach, but I
force a smile and thank mymother again. She busies herself at the sink and fills the silence withchatter.
When she turns around, she takes in the waffles still on my plate,only missing a few bites. I smile
apologetically.
“I’m not very hungry this morning.”

“You’ll need your strength for thisafternoon. Morrison will wait for you.” She bites her lip.

“I packed your lunch.”

“I’m 18, Mom. I can pack my own lunch. Youhave more important things to do.”

She reaches for the paper bag. “But now Iknow you’ll have something to eat. And you need to
eat, okay? You have to keepyour strength up.”

Sighing, I take the bag. I know this peanutbutter and jelly sandwich won’t be eaten, not any
more
than the one yesterdayor the day before. And even if I do eat it, I’ll just throw it up later.

“Honey, have you thought about what I saidthe other day?” she asks.

I remain silent.
“Sweetheart, you can’t hide the secretforever. Eventually you’re going
to miss school and people
will start askingquestions.”

“Mom, I have two months left of high school.I can make it till then. I’m class president. I was
voted ‘Most popular’, ‘Bestsmile’ and ‘Most likely to succeed’. I’m the girl who’s got it all together.
P
eopledon’t want to know that the girl who’s got it all together doesn’t have it alltogether. People
don’t want to know that girl is to be parted!”

“Honey, don’t say that. You’re not ….”

“Yes, I am. You heard Dr. Morrison. I havemaybe a year left. But that
means I can graduate and
then never see thosepeople again. I’ll depart and they’ll feel sorry for me, but at least I won’thave to
tolerate their pity.”

“But …” she tries to interrupt.

“Mom, listen to me. I don’t want to be thegirl everyone looks at and whispers, ‘Look at her. Poor
thing. She has cancer.’I can’t handle that. I want to be normal. Just for these last two months.”

“Okay,” she whispers. “Okay. Just remember,it’s okay if you don’t have it all together.
Sometimes things just fall apart andthere’s nothing we can do.”

“Thanks, Mom.” I grab my bag and lunch andkiss her on the cheek. “

“

” she replies. This exchange, once taken forgranted, is now a vital part of every morning,
every afternoon, and everynight. Three little words, followed by four more, have come to mean more
thanan entire conversation. They bridge all gaps and disagreements, because we bothknow there is
now a restricted number left.
