A few days ago I got a call from my old college friend whom I haven’t seen for a very long time. The topic was about all the good old times that we had and about his recent graduation, but he changed to a moving story when he started talking about his father.
His father’s bad health made him stay at the hospital. Because of his illness, his father suffered from insomnia(失眠) and often talking to himself. My friend had not been able to sleep for a few days as he had to keep watching his father’s condition, he became angry and told his father to keep silence and try to get some sleep. His father said that he really wanted to sleep well because he was very tired and told my friend to leave him alone in the hospital if he did not want to be with him.
After his father finished talking ,he fell unconscious(失去知觉) and had to be rushed to ICU. My friend was very sorry for he had spoken ill words towards his father.
My friend whom I knew as a strong person cried like a baby on the other end of the telephone. He promised himself that whatever words came out from his father’s mouth after he got his conscious would be gladly taken. His only hope was for God to give him a chance to correct his past mistake.
We can make promises to ourselves that from now on there will be no more complaints that come out from our mouths when we have to watch and be with our parents. Actually, in the world there are so many unlucky ones who have neither fathers nor mothers, they wish to have the things that we most complain about, but they never have them.

There are several skydiving (跳伞) centers in the United States. Skydiving can be a safe sport with the right instruction. Before taking your first jump, you need to learn the safety rules. When you take lessons, the first thing you are going to learn is the equipment（设备） you need and how to use it properly.
The most important piece of equipment is your parachute. The normal skydiving parachute includes a small parachute. It will be used when the main parachute does not open. Another important piece of equipment is your AAD（主动启动装置）．It will help to open your parachute if you fail to do it when you reach 800 feet.
Your jumpsuit protects your body, and your helmet protects your head and eyes. You can also wear special glasses to protect your eyes. You will need to wear sports shoes, because they will be able to absorb some of the shock when you land. There are shoes specially made for skydiving which are sold in skydiving shops. You can ask your skydiving teacher more useful information about equipment.
When you take skydiving lessons in the United States, you will most likely rent (租赁)your equipment. This is because most people only jump once or twice in their lives. Of course, there are other people who love skydiving and want to do it many times. If you find that you enjoy skydiving, you might even want to become a professional teacher and give your own lessons. For these people, it is better to buy their own equipment, because it will save them money in the long run.
34.You will need to prepare the following equipment EXCEPT .
A. AAD B. gloves C. helmet D．jumpsuit
35. What kind of shoes should you wear when you go skydiving?
A. Any kind of shoes.B. Shoes which can keep your feet warm.
C. Shoes which can absorb the shock when you land.
D. Shoes which are bought from supermarkets.
36. In the last paragraph, what does the writer want to tell us?
A. If your are taking your first jump, you’d better buy your own equipment.
B. If you are taking your first jump, you mustn’t buy any equipment.
C. If you really love skydiving, renting the equipment can save money.
D. If you really love skydiving, buying your own equipment can save money.

I remember my maths teacher Mr Young very well. He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers. In school Maths was my worst subject. I don’t think there was ever a day I went to school that I was not afraid.
One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, my parents would be called to school.
I tried really hard for weeks to learn Maths. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of numbers into whole things; my brain just couldn’t do it, no matter how hard I tried.
The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr Young would give me an E, just like he always did.
After class ended, I went to Mr Young and told him what would happen if I got another E. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I looked at the teacher and said, “Mr Young, you know how all the kids make fun of you because you’re missing your finger?”
He looked at me, and said nothing.
“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help not having a finger, Mr Young. Just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and matters like that,” I said.
Again, he said nothing as he looked down at his desk, and began grading papers.
The next day, when I got my report card, I looked at my grades: Geography: B- , English: D- , History: C- , Gym: B+ , Art: C, Maths: D- .
That Math grade was the most favorite one I ever received in my whole life. I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
37.Where was Mr Young different from others?
A. He had only nine fingers in all.B. He played jokes with students.
C. He usually gave higher mark to students.D. He taught Maths in an interesting way.
38.What would happen to the writer if he got another E?
A. He would be asked to leave school.B. He might be punished by his parents.
C. He would not be allowed to play any more.
D .He would be laughed at by other students.
39.The writer got a Math D- at last because .
A. he achieved a higher level after working hard
B. Mr Young was afraid of being made fun of again
C. Mr Young knew the trouble of being poor in mind
D. Mr Young thanked him for telling him the opinions of students
40.The story tells us that .
A. students should respect(敬重) the disabled teachers
B. teachers should treat all the students fairly C. students need to be cared for in their study,
D. teachers should have an understanding of the students
