A

years
old.

You

B
It is most
difficult for parents to decide whether to have a
second child or not.
It
is
often
heard
that
a
single
child
is
likely
to
be
a
lonely
child.
There
are
no
other
children
in
the family for the child to talk to or play with.
An only child is not able to get along well
with
children
of
his
age.
Some
parents
feel
sad
about
making
the
decisions
to
have
only
one
child.
But the number of
parents choosing to have only one child is
increasing in many parts of the
world.
In the US, for example, more than14 percent of
women between 18 and 34 plan to have just
one child. The same can be seen in the
UK. In Japan, the
average(
平均
) number of
children born per
family had gone down
to 1.42 by 1996.
For
some
single-child
parents,
especially
who
are
busy
working
every
day,
time
and
energy
seem
to
be
overwhelming.
They
don
’
t
have
enough
time
and
energy
to
share
with
more
childr
en.
For
other
people,
money
is
their
first
consideration.
Many
couples
in
Japan
choose
not
to
have
large
families
as the cost of
supporting a child up to the
age of 18
reaches around $$160,000.
28. According to the passage, why is a
single child likely to be lonely?
A. Because his parents
don
’
t love him.
B. Because he
doesn
’
t have holidays.
C. Because he
doesn
’
t have a brother or a
sister to talk to or play with.
D. Because there are other children
in the family.
29. What
does the underlined word
“
ov
erwhelming
”
mean
in the last paragraph?
A.
压倒一切的
B.
宽松的
C.
流行的
D.
充足的
30.
Why don’t
p
arents choose to have a second child?
A. The cost of
supporting a child is so high.
B. Parents are too busy working
every day to share their time and energy with more
children.
C. Some
parents can
’
t still get
their first child
’
s
agreement.
D. Both A and B.

After
giving
a
talk
at
a
high
school,
I
was
asked
to
pay
a
visit
to
a
special
student.
An
illness
had
kept the boy home, but he had expressed an
interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great
deal to him, so I agreed.
During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found
out something about Matthew. He had muscular
dystrophy
(
肌肉萎缩症
).When he was
born,
the doctor told
his parents
that he
would
not live to
see
five, and then they were told he would
not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted
to meet
me
because
I
was
a
gold-medal
power
lifter,
and
I
knew
about
overco
ming(
克服
)difficulties
and
going
for my
dreams.
I spent over an hour
talking to Matthew.
Never once did he
complain or ask,
“Why me?”
He
spoke about winning and succeeding
and going for his dreams. Clearly, he knew what he
was talking
about.
He
didn
’t
mention
that
his
classmates
had
made
fun
of
him
because
he
was
different.
He
just
talked about his hopes
for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift
weight with me. When we
finished
talking, I pulled out the first gold medal I won
and put it around his neck. I told him
he was
more of a
winner
and knew more about
success and overcoming difficulties
than I
ever
would.
He
looked
at
it
for
a
moment,
then
took
it
off
and
handed
it
back
to
me.
He
said,
“You
are
a
champion.
You
won
that
medal.
Someday
when
I
get
to
the
Olympics
and
win
my
own
medal,
I
will
show
it
to
you.”
Last
summer
I
received
a
letter
from
Matthew’s
parents
telling
me
that
Matthew
had
passed
a
way.
They wanted
me to have a letter he had written to me a few
days before:
Dear Rick,
My mum said I should send you a
thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I
also want to
let you know that the
doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live
an
y more, but I still smile
as much as I can.
I told you someday that I was going to
the Olympics and win a gold medal, but
I know now I will never get to do that.
However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that
too.
When
I
get
to
Heaven,
God
will
give
me
my
medal
and
when
you
get
there,
I
will
show
it
to
you.
Thank
you
for loving me.
Your friend,
Matthew

“Please take my
penny,”
said Maggie to old Dan, the
fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing
his nets.
Her brother Andrew
drew her back, whispering, “Maggie, he is not a
beggar
(
乞丐
)
!”
But Maggie paid no
attention
. “Please take it,”
she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it.
“Thank you, little miss,”
he said, “
I
t is
kindly meant.”
After
that,
Maggie
went
to
the
beach
to
gather
shells.
She
never
thought
how
fast
the
hours
were
passing until being tired. She sat down
on a rock. Soon she was scared because the sea
water was
going up. She wanted to go
home, but she found the places she had gone down
easily very difficult
to climb up. The
stones were wet and smooth. What could poor Maggie
do? She felt sad and cried.
Luckily,
Dan’s
large
dog
Rover
jumped
down
from
a
rock!
Rover
raised
his
loud
bark.
The
fisherman
had
taken
his
nets
to
the
top
of
the
cliffs
(
悬崖
),
and
was
laying
them
out
in
the
sun
when
he
heard
the loud
barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover,
and Rover was in trouble, so he looked
over. There he saw it all.
“Bless her!
It is the little
one that was so kind-spoken to me this
morning
!”
he cried, and
he hurried to his sons’
rooms.
“Quick, boys, quick!”
he said.
“
Get to the boat,
and row fast to the sea. There is a poor
child there just waiting to be
helped.”
The fishermen lost no time,
and soon little Maggie and
Rover were
rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to
lift her out to give her into her
mother’s arms.
“It was the penny that did it,
madam,
”
he said
to Mrs. Weston later.
“I saw Rover
looking
at her when she put the penny.
And I am thinking he had been looking after her
all the day.
”
Some
years
later,
Rover
came
to
Maggie’s
home
with
a
little
note,
in
which
was
written—“Will
Maggie help Rover?
—his
master is dead.”
34. Who
rowed Maggie to land safely?
A.
Rover.
B. Old Dan. C. Old
Dan
’
s sons. D. Andrew.
35. What we can guess from the end of
the story?
