And it can happen anywhere. In 2001, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped. When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift(换班)at the hospital had been changed to see her son’s performance. She was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions. And he revived in the end. After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time. Kevin, now 18, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking. Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he'd first learned in Scouts. The food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed. The color began to return to her face. "The food was stuck. I couldn't breathe," she said. She thought she was dying. "I was very frightened." Who was the woman? Penny Brown. 56.

A. came back to life B. became worse C. failed D. moved B Over 70 percent of the "double single-child couples" in China need help from their parents in taking care of their own kids, according to a recent survey. "Women of China" magazine and a consulting company carried out a survey recently on young couples of the "single-child" generation, the Morning Post reports. The couples surveyed were around 29 and have been married for three years on average, with university education and monthly income of 4.000 yuan ($531). Among them, 43.5 percent have kids. Results show that 71.9 percent of the young couples have help from their parents in taking care of their kids. Grown up as the "single-child", the only child in a family since the family planning policy was adopted in 1979, this generation depends much on their parents. The parents of the "single-child" generation focused more on their children's physical well-being rather than their attitudes and values, according to some psychologists. The research also found that the "double single-child couples" follow a rather traditional value system. Survey shows that 27.5 percent of them got married after dating for one to two years, 25.2 percent two to five years, and 20 percent didn't tie the knot until dating for five years. Also, 30 percent of the couples were schoolmates, while 43.8 percent were introduced by someone. Since their marriage are based on enduring relationships, 65.2 percent of the husbands and 62.9 percent of the wives think that compromise(妥协)and tolerance(宽容)are necessary in their marriage. Meanwhile, 21.7 percent of the husbands and 37.1 percent of the wives support the idea that happiness is the key standard for a marriage. 60.The best title for the passage should be_______. A. Mom and Dad, Take Care of My Kid Please B. Double Single-child Couples C. The Problem of the Single Child D. A Recent Survey By Woman of China" 61.Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage? A. The majority of the "double single-child couples" in China depend much on their parents. B. The parents of the “single-child” generation more care about their study and education. C. One-fifth of the couples surveyed didn't get married until dating for five years. D. All the couples surveyed have university education and 30 percent of them were schoolmates 62.Which of the following descriptions about “double single-child couples” is True ? A. They are single child in either family and independent of their parents B. They have at least two children and can afford to support themselves C. They are single child in either family and they are dependent on their parents D. They, who were introduced by someone, follow a rather traditional value system C “Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world”. That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of American’s exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969. In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half the nation’s pre-school children, from every kind of economic, racial(种族的), and geographical group. Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from “Sesame Street” are in the same class with children who have not watched the program. Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited from watching it. Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional viewers. In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly. The programs all use songs, stories, jokes, and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. But there are some differences. For example, the Spanish program, produced in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate letters. Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch it along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more. 63. “Sesame Street” is actually _______. A. a street in the US B. a program for children C. a program for teachers D. a program for students 64. Children who often watch the program _______. A. can have problems in school B. will find it a great help C. will take no interest in their studies D. will be well educated 65. What is special about the program? A. It offers great fun. B. It makes children feel able to learn. C. It is shown at different hours during the week. D. Children learn and enjoy themselves while watching. 66. Why is “Sesame Street” so popular in the world? A. Because it is supported by the government and businesses. B. Because it uses a variety of skillful tricks. C. Because mothers watch it along with their children. D. Because it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. 67. The best title for this passage can be _______. A. TV Programs B. Educating Children C. Sesame Street D. A Great Success D “Dr(Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?” The usual laughter followed, and people stirred(骚动)to go(Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time,asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was( “I will answer your question(” Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket,he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter(And what he said went like this: “When I was a small child,during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village(One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror(A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place( I tried to find all the pieces and put them together,but it was not possible,so I kept only the largest piece(This one, and,by scratching it on a stone,I made it round(I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine—in deep holes and crevices(裂缝)and dark closets(It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find( I kept the little mirror, and,as I went about my growing up,I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game(As I became a man,I grew to understand that this was not just a child’s game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life(I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light(But light— truth,understanding,knowledge—is there,and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it( I am a fragment(碎片)of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know(Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world— into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people(Perhaps others may see and do likewise(This is what I am about(This is the meaning of my life(” 68(On hearing the author’s question,Dr(Papaderos at first( A(laughed at his foolishness B(wasn’t sure of the answer C(doubted his seriousness D(wasn’t interested at all 69(How did Dr(Papaderos get the small round mirror when he was a child?
