I want you to remember that you must be good to each other. You must take care of one another in times of need. Wherever I am, I’ll have my eye on you.” I believed her.

Mother died when she was 84. After the funeral, the four of us children made a promise to continue the tradition of the reunion. The next year my husband and I decided to arrange for our first reunion. I hoped the rest of the family would agree. Although we were close, we had our troubles. I was especially worried about my brother’s wife, Gina. She was on the sensitive side and after a misunderstanding, we never spoke again.

Then, to my surprise, Gina called. She and my brother would be arriving in New York a day early to attend a meeting. “Can you join us in the city for dinner?” she asked. I thought about all the last-minute errands (差事) I had to do and said, “I don’t have time.” Gina hung up. As usual, she had taken my refusal personally.

That night I couldn’t sleep. I thought of Mother’s speech: “You must be good to each other … You must take care of one another.” I called Gina first thing the next morning. “I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to dinner,” I said. “I am really looking forward to seeing you.”

27、After orbiting the earth for six months, the three crew members of China’s Shenzhou XIII mission departed from the Tiangong space station and returned to the mother planet on Saturday morning.

Major General Zhai Zhigang, who was the mission commander, and his crewmates spent 183 days in an orbit about 400 kilometers above the earth since their Shenzhou XIII spacecraft was launched on Oct 16 by a Long March 2F carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region. They were the second inhabitants of China’s permanent space station named Tiangong. More importantly, the crew has set a new record for China’s longest spaceflight, almost doubling the previous record of 92 days created by their peers in the Shenzhou XII mission who travelled with Tiangong from mid-June to mid. September last year.

During the Shenzhou XIII mission, the astronauts carried out two spacewalks that totaled more than 12 hours. They went up components on the station’s robotic arm and used it to practice extravehicular (舱外的) maneuvers, checked the arm’s capabilities and its compatibility with the crew’s needs, examined the safety and performance of support devices for extravehicular activity and also tested the functions of their extravehicular suits. The crew members also carried out two science lectures for Chinese students. In those lectures, which were livestreamed worldwide by China Media Group, the astronauts showed viewers how they live and work inside the huge space station and showed physical phenomena only possible in microgravity such as “disappearing buoyancy” and a “water ball”. In one experiment, Wang used a Bing Dwen Dwen toy to display how objects fly in weightless environment.

The Shenzhou XIII’s space-based lessons marked the start of the Tiangong Class series, China’s first extraterrestrial (地球外的) lecture series that aims to popularize space science and inspire youngsters to pursue their “science and space dreams”.

【1】In what way does the Shenzhou XIII mission achieve a record-breaking performance?

29、There is a famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.

This was an age before telephones. Someone was delivering a message. When Coleridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration. His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door. His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a fragment.

This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which bring us to the cellphone.

The most common complaint about cellphones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cellphone’s interruption of our thoughts.

We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cellphones, and this is by and large(大体上)a healthy, protective development. “I didn’t hear it ring” or “I didn’t realize my phone had shut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.

The notion of being unreachable is not a new concept—we have “Do Not Disturb” sign on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cellphones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?

Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cellphone devotees（信徒）, myself usually included, can’t help at times wanting to throw their phone away, or curse the day they were invented.

But we don’t and won’t, and there really is no need. All that’s required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it. In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt for the rings of our own phones.

A cellphone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us，though the call on my cellphone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg—who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and I’m better off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.

【1】What is the point of the anecdote(轶事)about the poet Coleridge in the first three paragraphs?

A．To direct readers’ attention to the main topic.

B．To show how important inspiration is to a poet.

C．To emphasize the disadvantage of not having a cellphone.

D．To encourage readers to read the works of this poet.

【2】What does the writer think about people telling “white lies” about their cellphones?

A．It is a way of signaling that you don’t like the caller.

B．It is natural to tell lies about small things

C．It is basically a good way to protect one’s privacy.

D．We should feel guilty when we can’t tell the truth.

【3】According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cellphones?

A．People get so obsessed (着迷) with the cellphone rings that they fail to notice anything else.

B．People feel guilty when they are not able to answer their cellphones.

C．Cellphones interrupt people’s private time.

D．With cellphones it is no longer possible to be unreachable.

【4】What does the last paragraph suggest?

A．A person who calls us from afar deserves more of our attention.

B．Steven Spielberg once called the author to talk about the author’s novel.

C．You should always finish your lunch before you answer a call on the cellphone.

D．Never let cellphones disturb your life too much.

32、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

In a small village, the parents of a little boy were very depressed due to his bad temper(脾气). The boy used to get angry very easily and hurt others with his words. While he forgot what he spoke in anger, his friends and neighbours avoided him.

His mother and father tried many ways to make him give up his anger and develop kindness. Unfortunately, all their attempts failed. Finally, the boy’s father came up with an idea.

One day, his father gave him a huge bag of nails, asking him to hammer one nail to the fence every time he lost his temper. The little boy found it funny and accepted what his father had said.

His anger drove him to hammer 30 nails into the fence on the first day! Over the next few days, the little boy found it very difficult to hammer the nails into the fence and decided to control his temper.

Gradually, the number of nails hammered into the fence was reduced and the day arrived when he hammered none!

Now, his father told him to remove the nails every day as he had controlled his anger. Several days passed and the boy was able to pull out most of the nails from the fence.

The father appreciated him and asked him, pointing to one of the holes, “What do you see there?”

The boy replied, “A hole in the fence?”

He told the boy, “The nails were your bad temper and they were hammered into people. You can remove the nails but still see the holes in the fence. The fence never looks the same! It has scars all over! Your bad temper and anger were like that! Use words for good. Use them to show your heart!”
