When I was eight, I wrote my first poem. My mother read and cried. “Buddy, you didn’t

really write this beautiful poem!”

Shyly, but

36

, I said yes. She poured out her

37

. “It was nothing short of talent!”

“What time will Father be home?” I asked. I could hardly wait to

38

my work to him.

I spent quite some time

39

for his arrival. I wrote the poem out in my finest flourish

(

花体字

), drew a fancy border around it, and

40

I placed it right on my father’s plate on the

dining table. My father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer. I was sure he would be

able

my poem.

At

almost

o’clock

my

father

burst

in.

He

seemed

He

circled

the

dining-room

table, complaining about his employees.

Suddenly he paused and glared at his plate. “What is this?” He was reaching for my poem.

“Ben, Buddy has written his first poem!” my mother began. “And it’s beautiful, absolutely

amaz …”

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide for myself.” Father said.

I

43

my head as he read that poem. It was only ten lines. But it seemed to take hours.

Then I heard him dropping the poem back on the table. Now came the moment of

44

.

“I think it’s terrible,” he said.

I couldn’t look up. My eyes were gettin

g

45

.

“Ben, these are the first lines of poetry he’s ever written,” my mother was saying. “He needs

46

.”

“I don’t know why.” My father held his ground. “Isn’t there enough

47

poetry in the

world already?”

I couldn’t

48

it another second. I ran from the dining room crying. Up in my room I

49

myself on the bed and cried the worst of the

out of me.

That

I

realized

how

fortunate I had been. I had a mother who said, “I think it’s wonderful!” and a father who drove me

to hear with “I think it’s awful.”

Every one of us needs that mother force, from which all

52

flows; and yet the mother

force alone is incomplete. It needs the balance of the force that

Those

54

voices of my childhood ring in my ears through the years, like two opposing

winds blowing me. Between the two poles of

and doubt, both in the name of love, I try to

follow my true course.

First lady’s campaign brings change

WASHINGTON (AP)

—

Wal- Mart

（沃尔玛）

is putting special labels

（标签）

on some

products to help shoppers quickly notice healthier ones. Millions of schoolchildren are helping

themselves to vegetables from salad bars i

n their lunchrooms, and kids’ meals at

Olive Garden and

Red Lobster restaurants come with a side of fruit or vegetables and a glass of low-fat milk.

These changes are taking place due to the campaign against childhood fatness, for which the

first lady Michelle Obama began fighting three years ago.

Fatness has become a serious problem in the country. About one-third of U.S. children are

overweight, which puts them at increased risk for any number of deadly illnesses, including high

blood pressure and heart disease.

Still, Mrs. Obama faces challenge. Not everyone welcomes her effort. Some blame her for

going too far and say she has no right to tell what people should and shouldn’t eat. But nutrition

supporters and others praise her for using her influence to help bring interests to the table. They

said the first lady has raised public awareness about fatness, which will help decrease childhood

fatness rates.

There is evidence of small decrease in childhood fatness rates in some parts of the country. New

York reported a 5.5 percent drop in fatness rates in kindergarteners through eighth-graders

between the 2006-07 and 2010-11 school years. In Philadelphia, the drop was 4.7 percent among

students in grades K-12.

Fighting against children fatness is hard work, bu

t it’s well worth the effort. The first lady is

planning a promotional tour. She has been talking up the campaign against childhood fatness on

daytime and late-night TV shows and on the radio. She also plans discussions next week on

Google and Twitter.

“We’ve been spending a lot of time educating and re

-educating families and kids on how to

eat,

what

to

eat,”

the

first

lady

said.

“We’re

starting

to

see

some

changes

and

we’re

starting

to

丰台一模英语

2013.3

show some improvement.”

56. What is the purpose of the campaign started by the first lady?

A. To call on healthy eating.

B. To reduce childhood fatness rate.

C. To show the harm caused by fatness.

D. To educate people how to avoid illness.

57. What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A. The popularity of healthy food.

B. The importance of balanced diet.

C. Children’s preference for vegetables.

D. The changes brought out by the campaign.

58. What can we learn from the passage about Mrs. Obama??

A. She is an expert in healthy eating.

B. She has won support of the whole nation.

C. She shows great concern about childhood fatness.

D. She makes good use of media to increase her influence.

Mrs. Squirrel and I Negotiated Terms

I

was

sitting

in

the

room

reading

when

I

heard

a

loud

noise.

To

defend

my

home

from

break- in, I picked up my defense weapon--- a broom and went out. There on the roof of my porch

（门廊）

, I saw a grey fluffy squirrel. I drove her away with the broom, but the next day I heard

her again.

I

searched

squirrels

on

the

net

and

found

because

their

teeth

keep

growing,

they

have

to

constantly chew on things to shorten their teeth. This was disturbing so I asked my husband to call

in some wildlife control people.

On Monday morning two men showed up, with guns in their hands. I pointed uneasily to the

hole

in

my

porch

roof.

They

held

up

their

guns.

Suddenly

I

saw

in

my

mind

the

baby

nursery

inside. I stopped them and confirmed that they wouldn’t harm her. They hesitated, but finally put

down their guns. Then they brought out a bottle of deodorizer

（除臭剂）

and sprayed it into the

squirrel’s home. They told me she would not like the smell and would leave.

There was no sign of Mrs. Squirrel, so they blocked the hole, took my cheque for $$250 and

left.

Shortly after they left, Mrs. Squirrel returned from her shopping trip. She was mad at being

driven out and began feverishly clawing at the porch roof. In order to stop the destruction of my

home, I drove her away with the broom again.

Each day thereafter, Mrs. Squirrel continued her attack on my possession. I then called the

company to report that “SHE’S BAAAAAACK…” The receptionist said that if Mrs. Squirrel had

managed to find another way into my porch roof, it would be a new charge. I replied I couldn’t

continue contributing my husband’

s hard-earned income to their silly wildlife experts and hang up.

I went to the porch and banged on the roof. Mrs. Squirrel came out and glared at

me. We

negotiated

some

terms,

came

to

an

agreeable

arrangement

and

went

back

into

our

respective

homes.

All is quiet these days, although large quantities of materials have been removed from

my

丰台一模英语

2013.3

garage wall and my daughter claims that some of her doll-house furniture has disappeared. I still

hope that Mrs. Squirrel would leave, but I will wait until it is warmer and hopefully until after the

birth of the little ones.

59. What did the author think of the squirrel at first?

A. Troublesome.

B. Dangerous.

C. Interesting.

D. Clever.

60. Why didn’t the author ask the wildlife control people to come again?

A. She worried about the safety of the squirrel.

B. She thought the company charged too much.

C. She decided to drive away the squirrel herself.

D. She doubted the ability of the wildlife control people.

61. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Getting rid of the squirrel needs patience.

B. The squirrel has destroyed the author’s house.

C. The author has developed affection for the squirrel.

D. The author singed an agreement with Mrs. Squirrel.

62. The author has written the passage in a (an) ________ way.

A. persuasive

B. serious

C. informative

D. amusing

C

Before my first summer vacation at college, my roommate Ted asked to me to work with him

on his father’s farm in Argentina. The idea of spending two months in Argentine w

as exciting.

Then I began having second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been

homesick my first few weeks at college. What would it be like in a strange country? What about

the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.

In the end I turned down the invitation. As soon as Ted asked somebody else to go, I began

kicking myself. I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared, and had ended

up feeling depressed. That unhappy summer taught me a valuable lesson out of which I developed

a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious; don’t do what makes you depressed.

At the end of my senior year, I began to think about becoming a writer. But my professor was

urging me to aim at teaching. I hesitated. The idea of trying to live by writing was a lot scarier

than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it.

Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went

through me.

Giving up on what I really wanted to do depressed me. Right then I learned another lesson.

To avoid that kind of depression meant having to bear a certain amount of worry and concern.

When I first began writing articles, I was frequently required to interview big names. Before

each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach and my hands would shake. One person I

particularly admired was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he

seemed the very model of confidence. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright. If the highly

honored Ellington, who had appeared on the bandstand some 10,000 times over 30years, had

anxiety attacks, who was I to think I could avoid them? I went on doing those frightening

interviews. Then I realized to my astonishment that I was even looking forward to the interviews.

What had happened to those butterflies?
