阅读理解
When I was small, my
mother and I would walk to our local library in
Franklin Square. As we
didn't always
have access to a reliable car, walking hand in
hand was the most convenient way to
get
anywhere.
It
was
at
story
time
for
children
that
both
my
mother
and
I
made
lasting
friendships.
Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner
from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head
and
a
short
walk
to
the
Sea
Cliff
Children's
Library.
My
18-imonth-old
son,
Colin,
and
I
find
ourselves
in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and
making friends. Well, that is what many
people don't understand-a library is
more than books; it's a community.
Sure, the library in Franklin
Square was the place where I was introduced to
Judy Blume novels.
But it was also the
place where I got my first email address in 1997.
At the library, friends and I
learned
how to research colleges and search for
scholarships on the Internet. The library was the
place where we sometimes
giggled(
咯咯笑
)too loudly, and
where the librarians knew us by name.
Their
knowing
our
names
wasn't
a
bad
thing.
When
I
came
home
from
my
first
term
at
Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the
librarian at the Franklin Square library, offered
me my
first teaching job.
I now teach reading at Nassau
Community College. My students are often amazed
that they
can
check
out
books
via
their
smartphones
and
virtually(
虚拟地
)visit
a
variety
of
Long
Island
libraries. The app used by Nassau and
Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the
college library,
makes
their
homework
easier
by
helping
them
find
resources.
Even
though
they
can't
always
easily visit their local libraries, the
library is always with them.

does the author consider herself lucky today?

mother's best friend.

access to a reliable car now.

of
Harvard
University
is
the
son
of
an
Eastern
European
refugee
and
Auschwitz
(
奥斯威辛
)
survivor
—
Lawrence S. Bacow.
His father worked full time while attending a
state college in Detroit at night to
earn his degree.
Bacow,
the former president of Tufts University, has
taken over Harvard at a time when higher
education is under attack for being
financially out of reach to many Americans. But
Bacow said
his family's journey had
reflected the power of college education to
transform generations and
the
opportunities that have historically been
available in the United States.
country had not been
open to people like my parents at that time. Nor
would I if my father hadn't
had the
opportunity to get the college
education.
Bacow grew up
in Pontiac, Michigan. His father's family fled
anti-Jewish (
反犹太的
) violence
in
Minsk, then part of the Soviet
Union, before the start of World War II and went
to the United
States. His mother
arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived
Auschwitz concentration camp.
She was
the only Jew from her town to have survived the
war. Yet Bacow, who is married with
two
sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he
had a happy childhood, entering science
fairs as a child and building radios
like his dad.
Bacow has
spent most of his professional career at MIT,
Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor
of environmental studies at MIT, and
later a principal at the university. He led Tufts
from 2001 to
2011.
At
Tufts,
Bacow
earned
a
reputation
for
shaking
up
a
sleepy
university
that
was
being
overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He
is also credited with leading it through both 9/11
and
the 2008 financial
crisis.
As the Tufts
president, Bacow traveled around the country,
reaching out to alumni (
校友
),
and
he urged his faculty and deans to
do the same, in an effort to boost donations to
finance Tufts'
academic ambitions. He
raised more than $$20 million for faculty
recruitment, attracting up-and-
coming
professors by offering junior faculty perks
(
福利
), such as long academic
leaves that they
couldn't get
elsewhere.
Under Bacow's
leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and
libraries. He also made addresses
nationally
about
the
need
to
make
higher
education
more
accessible
and
affordable
to
low-
income
students.
（
1
）
The
reason why Bacow appreciates college education is
that ________.
A. college education is out of reach to
many Americans
B. his family
changed their fate due to college
education
C. few
opportunities were available when his father came
into the country
D. a
college degree helped his mother survive
Auschwitz
（

）
What can we infer from the
passage?
A. The
fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed
besides his mother.
B.
Bacow's mother stimulated his interest in
science.
C. Bacow's father
was good at working with electronics.
D. Bacow's father came to the U.S.

Choose the one

In university I had a
part-time job at a shop that sold doughnuts and
coffee. Situated on a block
where
several buses stopped, it served the people who
had a few minutes to wait for their
bus.
Every afternoon
around four o'clock, a group of schoolchildren
would burst into the shop, and
business
would come to a stop. Adults would glance in, see
the crowd and pass on. But I didn't
mind if the children waited for their
bus inside. Sometimes I would hand out a bus fare
when a
ticket
went

I

some

the door at closing time, and we waited in the

I enjoyed my

lives

man came and asked if I was the girl working on
weekdays

So I was the
Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but
became a landmark.
Now I
think about all the people who keep an eye on my
own children. They become, well,
Doughnut Ladies. Like the men at
the skating rink
(
滑冰场
) who let my boys ring
home; Or the
bus driver who drove my
daughter to her stop at the end of the route at
night but wouldn't leave
until I
arrived to pick her up; Or that nice police
officer who took pity on my boys walking home in
the
rain
