25、Nostalgia (乡愁)

Me on this side,   Me on this side,

Mother on the other side.   And my mother inside.

When I grew up, And at present,

Nostalgia was a narrow boat ticket.   Nostalgia becomes a shallow strait(海峡).

Me on this side, Me on this side,

Bride(新娘) on the other side. Mainland on the other side.

26、He's an old cobbler  (修鞋匠)  with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: “I haven't time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street ; he'll fix them for you right away.”

But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman  (手艺人).  “No,” I replied, “the other fellow can't do it well.”

“The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait” -- without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair.

My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.” I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.

“See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.”

When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.

These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old, way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption  (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.

【1】Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?

A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools. B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.

C. He was proud of his skills. D. He was a native Parisian.

【2】The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” ( paragraph 6 ) implies that  

A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him

B. it was difficult to communicate with this man

C. the man was very strange

D. the man was too old

【3】According to the author, many people work just to .

A. realize their abilities B. gain happiness

C. make money D. gain respect

【4】This story wants to tell us that  .

A. craftsmen make a lot of money B. whatever you do, do it well

C. craftsmen need self-respect D. people are born equal

27、In early November of 1503, during Christopher Columbus’ fourth and final trip to America, his ship was seriously damaged in a storm. Columbus and his men had to live on a small island for several months while they tried to repair their ship and return to Spain.

At first, the local people on the island were very kind to the European visitors, giving them all the food and clothes they needed to survive. However, as the months passed, the local people became more and more unhappy with their guests, who were tricking and stealing from them. Finally the locals decided to stop helping. Without food or any way to leave the island, Columbus’ group was soon in serious trouble.

Luckily for Columbus, he had a book about the stars and planets on his ship. It described the movements of all the objects in the night sky. The book, written by a well-known German scientist, said there would be a total lunar eclipse (月食) on the evening of February 29, 1504 and how long it would last.

Columbus worked out the difference in time between Germany and North America. He then had a meeting with the local leaders just before the eclipse would take place. In this meeting, Columbus told them his god was angry because the local people were no longer giving food. So his god would take away the moon to punish them. At the moment Columbus finished talking, just as he had planned, the moon began disappearing.

The local leaders grew frightened and quickly agreed to provide Columbus with food and anything else he wanted. But first, Columbus’ god had to return the moon. Columbus told them he would have to discuss the idea with his god on his ship. Knowing the moon would stay completely hidden for about 48 minutes, Columbus returned just before the moon began to reappear. From that day on, until they finally left, Columbus and his men no longer had any trouble getting the food they needed.

【1】At first, the local people helped Columbus and his men by__________.

A. giving them food   B. building a house for them

C. repairing their ship   D. providing them with a book

【2】The local people became angry because the Europeans__________.

A. looked very different   B. had nothing to trade

C. were cheats and thieves   D. wanted to take their land

【3】What did Columbus do after returning to his ship on the night of the meeting?

A. He discussed the problem with his god.

B. He waited for the eclipse to finish.

C. He read about the stars and planets.

D. He told his men what happened.

【4】What can we learn about the Europeans from the passage?

A. They all believed in god.

B. They never returned to Spain.

C. They admired the local people.

D. They caused their own problems.

Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know where she’s been during her great worldwide vacation in a special way.

The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg c【1】at the age of four. Although the amputation（截肢）once caused much trouble for her, the 22-year-old girl now just c【2】it as an inspiration for making the best of her life.
