Ⅲ.閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分20分）

(A)

When our second child was born, Jim and I thought she was perfect, but the doctor pointed out that her feet were turned inward(向內(nèi)). “Left uncorrected, it would be a problem,” he told us.

We decided to do anything we could to help our baby. When only two weeks old, I brought her back to the doctor, just as he had directed, and the doctor put her tiny feet into casts(模子), her precious baby toes just barely visible. Because she was growing, I had to take her back to the doctor every two weeks to have each foot recast.

At last, the casting was finished and it was time for corrective shoes and bars. Jim and I watched with hope and concern as she struggled to walk. Those first, awkward(笨拙的) steps made us so proud. By the time she entered preschool, her steps appeared quite normal. Encouraged by her progress, we looked for something else to help strengthen her lower body.

As it turned out, she loved the ice!

When she turned six, we enrolled her in skating lessons and soon she was gliding(滑行) like a swan. We watched in wonderment as she skimmed the ice. She had to work hard at every new movement, but she loved the ice and her hard work paid off. At fifteen, she competed in both pairs-skating and the ladies singles at the 1988 World Junior Championships in Australia, winning both events!At the senior World Championships in 1991, she won the ladies singles. Then we found ourselves filled with love and admiration in France, at the 1992 Winter Olympics, as our daughter, Kristi Yamaguchi won the gold medal.

I thought back to the early years of challenge for Kristi. During those years, we didnt expect gold medals and a good professional career ahead of her. We respected her strength and hard work. In our eyes, Kristi had always walked with the grace of a true champion.

Hefei(Xinhua)—College students are not always able to enjoy rest and relaxation during their yearly seven-week summer holidays.

Early this morning, students from college and universities across the country ventured(冒險(xiǎn)) into poverty-stricken rural(農(nóng)村) areas to share their knowledge of culture, science and health with local farmers.

A group of eighteen students from the Chinese University of Science and Technology based in Hefei, capital of East Chinas Anhui Province, is one of many volunteer(自愿者) teams spending their summer holidays teaching farmers.

The team presented more than 4,000 books to the village. They catalogued(按目分類) the books and built the villages first library. One elderly farmer walked 15 kilometres over narrow mountain paths to visit the library. He grasped the hands of one student and praised the young people for their efforts to help the village. He said knowledge gained from library books would help village children get rid of poverty.

Wang Shouye, the only postgraduate in the group, is not only conducting research on rural economy(經(jīng)濟(jì))and education, but is also presenting lectures on self-development.

The students have also benefited(受益)by learning the virtue of hard work and plain life, as well as local farming techniques. Liu Yaxing, a young female student unfamiliar with agriculture before her visit, now is able to appraise(鑒定) the quality of tea.

My darling Lindy,

“It seems strange to be sitting here writing to you, my little girl, while you sit at the nursery table pleasing, so good and quiet. And you will not read my letter for 20-30 perhaps 40 years!It is a strange, grown-up woman I am writing to—a woman I dont know at all.

When you read this letter I shall be an old lady like Grandmamma, like all the other old ladies we know and I dont intend to let you suffer what I have suffered from the selfishness of the old. So I am telling you, here and now, that when the time comes you must put me into a home. Dont worry about what anyone say—dont worry about anything I shall say—just be firm, and send me away.

For when I am old I shall make funny demands on you. I shall expect to come and live with you, as Grandmamma lives with us. I shall criticize your husband, keep telling you how badly you are bringing up your children. All day long you will have to listen to my chatter, and force yourself to answer politely; my bits and pieces will be left about all over the house for you to clear up.

My darling. I know. Ive been through it all myself; Ive seen my friends go through it with their mothers, and I am determined not to let you go through it too. So when the time comes, will you promise not to put up with it? Promise to send me away and live your own life—that is the thing that matters. Never mind what that old lady says—that one who is still called your mother, she is not really your mother any longer.”
