He thinks she is Heathcliff’s wife, but she does not invite him to tea, and when Heathcliff comes in, asks his permission before pouring Lockwood a cup.

Mickey’s Goal

Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son’s soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son’s team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.

With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey O’ Donnel. With shouts of“Kick it!” echoing（回响）across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted（沸腾）.O’ Donnel had scored!

Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome（综合症）and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.

The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted,“I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried . I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting,“Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.

Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied,“It was a tie. Everybody won.”

Ray Charles was born on September 23rd, 1930 into a poor family in Georgia, U.S.A. His father was a railwayman who had to travel a lot, so Ray was brought up mainly by his mother, who, though not very well educated, was full of common sense. When he went blind after a serious sickness at the age of seven, it was his mother who helped him to face up to the situation. She told him he was blind, not stupid, and that he had lost his eyes but not his mind, she made him sweep floors and chop wood to show him he was by no means helpless. She used to tell him that some day she would not be there to help him, and that then he would have to look after himself.

Soon after he went blind, Ray began to take an interest in music. A neighbour showed him how to play simple tunes on the piano, and he had a love for the music he heard, played and sung in the local church. In the blind school the schoolteachers encouraged him to study a variety of instruments, Then, one more blow came. His mother died suddenly, and Ray, who loved her deeply, was so shocked that for two weeks he was unable to eat. It was another neighbour who finally managed to persuade him that his mother would have wanted him to go on, and reminded him of how she had believed in him. When his father died a year later, Ray knew he was strong enough to keep going on his own.

Between the ages of fifteen and seventeen, Ray worked with bands in Florida, but in 1948, while still only seventeen, he decided that there wasn’t much future for him there and decided to go to Seattle, in the north-west of the U.S.A.

Ray arrived in Seattle and went to a small hotel to sleep. When he woke up, he was hungry. It was two o’ clock in the morning, and everywhere was closed. Ray managed to find a small club and knocked on the door. A man on the door said they had no food, but “we’ ve got a talent night on here,” he added. Ray saw his chance and told the man he could play the piano and sing. The man tried to discourage him, but he was finally guided to the piano and sang a song. As he came off the stand, a man stopped him and said, “I’m from the Elks Club. I think you’ve got a weekend job.” That was Tuesday. By Friday he was working regularly, and after that he never looked back. It was the beginning of his climb to stardom.

54．Although he was blind, Ray’s mother made him sweep floors and chop wood for the purpose of making him .

A．helpless B．independent C．encouraged D．useful

55．What played the most important part in Ray’s life?

A．His interest and talent in music.

B．His work with bands in Florida.

C．His neighbours’ help and his teachers’ encouragement.

D．His mother’s training.

56．What happened that made him extremely sad when he was a teenager?

A．He went blind. B．He lost his mother.

C．He became fatherless. D．The man tried to discourage him.

57．Ray got his big opportunity to success .

A．in Georgia B．in the blind school

C．in Florida D．in Seattle

Electric shock

Injuries caused by electric shock are fairly common. When a person has received an electric shock, no one should go near him/her until the current has been turned off. If a shock occurring at work or at home causes someone to lose consciousness（知觉）, electrical connection must be broken before anyone tries to give assistance. You should either turn off the switch at the mains or, if that is not possible, push the person away with a dry piece of wood.

Treatment of shock

Look out for signs of shock. People who have been injured or who may have lost a lot of blood, or those who have had heart attacks, may be in deep shock. The signs to look for are faintness, paleness, a moist, sticky skin, shallow, rapid breathing and a fast but weak heartbeat.

Shock can prove fatal, and it is essential to do something to prevent its developing. The best way to treat or prevent shock is to keep the patient lying down, better with the legs higher than the head; if possible, raise the lower part of the body on a rolled-up packet or similar object. Make the patient as comfortable as possible, loosening any tight clothing, and comfort him/her because fright increases the effects of shock.

58．Match the pictures with the passages.

A．Picture 2. Electric shock; Picture 3. Treatment of shock

B．Picture 1. Electric shock; Picture 4. Treatment of shock

C．Picture 4. Electric shock; Picture 2. Treatment of shock

D．Picture 3. Electric shock; Picture 1. Treatment of shock

59．The above passages and pictures have something to do with .

A．how to deal with difficulties B．how to do first aid

C．how to face danger D．how to match pictures with passages

60．What would happen if you didn’t turn off the current when you had to treat an unconscious person who had just received an electric shock?

A．He would regain his consciousness soon.

B．He would die soon.

C．Electrical connection would be broken.

D．You would be in danger of getting the shock yourself.

61．Of the following adjectives chosen from above, which one has the meaning of “causing death”?

A．Fatal. B．Sticky. C．Essential. D．Unconscious.

Sir,

The majority of your readers must have been surprised and shocked to read a letter from Mr R. Hogg, published in last Wednesday’s Herald. Mr. Hogg seems to think that his own convenience and that of motorists in general are the only things that matter in our city.

I would have more sympathy（同情）with Mr Hogg if he just made suggestions to improve the situation. No doubt his problems would be partly solved if the local government built a multi-storey car park in the city center, instead of encouraging motorists to use public transport. All the same, judging from the tone of Mr Hogg’s letter, I suspect that motorists who are so careless of pedestrians’（行人）safety that they would rather park their cars on the pavement than hold up the traffic would probably be too lazy to use a multi-storey car park if they had to walk a few hundred yards to their destination（目的地）afterwards.

My main reason for writing, however, is much more important. Does Mr Hogg realize that, according to figures issued by the Department of Transport, 13,000 people were knocked down in Britain last year because of cars being illegally parked either on the pavement or on crossings? In fact, although the total pedestrian casualty（伤亡事故）rate has fallen over the last ten years, there has been an increase in accidents caused when pedestrians have to step out into the road to avoid parked cars on the pavement and cannot see oncoming traffic.

I cannot share Mr Hogg’s view that the government have paid little attention to “long-suffering motorists”; and I think the punishment for dangerous parking should be made severe enough to stop all motorists from breaking the law in this way.

A. WALKER,

Proudfoot Lane, Carchester

62．The letter above is written in answer to the letter by .

A．an editor B．a certain Mr R. Hogg

C．some readers D．some motorists

63．The topic for the two letters is .

A．parking problems in the city center

B．building a multi-storey car park in the city center

C．public transport

D．the increase in accidents caused by parked cars on the pavement

64．What Mr. A. Walker does want to make known in his letter is that .

A．the total pedestrian casualty rate has fallen

B．careless parking may cause serious traffic accidents

C．the convenience of motorists in general matters much

D．the safety of pedestrians matters little

65．In Mr A. Walker’s opinion, serverer punishment should be given to .

A．all the careless motorists B．all the law breakers

C．all who step out into the road D．all who do dangerous parking
