27、Australian Open Wheelchair Tennis Winners

Wheelchair tennis champ Kunieda won the men's Australian Open once more on Thursday, beating a player from the United Kingdom. Diede Groot won the women's wheelchair finals by defeating Aniek van Koot.

This is the 11th time winning the Australian Open for Japan's Kunieda. But the two hours and 12 minutes match wasn't an easy one. He won the first set, but the player from the United Kingdom took the second set. Kunieda came roaring back in the third set to take the prize, 7-5, 3-6, 6-2. He seemed to surprise even himself. "I played the best tennis of my career," he said, "Especially in the final set. I don't know how I did it, but I pushed past my limit. "He staged a comeback after losing in the semi-finals of last year's Australian Open.

In the women's wheelchair finals, it was a contest between two athletes from the Netherlands. From early on, Diede Groot seemed to be in control. Much of the difference in play came from Groot's strong and steady serve. She made her first serve count 74% of the time, In the second set, she got out to a 5-0 lead before giving up a game to Aniek van Koot. But it didn't take her long to get back on track, winning the match 6-1, 6-1. The entire match took less than an hour. "I'm super happy," said Diede Groot. "It's the beginning of the year. I think I've showed everyone that I'm ready for the rest of the year." It was her 13th Grand Slam singles title. Last year, she earned a "Golden Slam" by winning all four Grand Slam tournaments, as well as a Paralympic gold.

28、Five years ago, my wife said she’d found us a tiny but clean house, which was close to the historic Abbot Kinney. However, there was a bus depot (公共汽车车库) across the street. Hundreds of buses noisily parked there every night and noisily left every morning. It was awful.

But I was determined to make the best of it. “It is noisy, but it offers us a good way to think about what is required to make a city work,” I kept telling our 6-year-old daughter.

The one morning, I woke up to find that the buses were gone! I allowed myself to get excited. My daughter, however, was unhappy. It took me a minute to understand: she had got used to the idea of us having a role in city life.

Shortly afterward, a homeless encampment (临时营地) was built there. Then I found out what was planned for the bus depot—a place to deal with the homeless.

When I told my daughter about the “bridge housing”, a big smile spread across her face. Her first reaction wasn’t fear or selfishness. She understood immediately how special it was that the bus depot would become a place for people who needed just that to live.

What story about city life could I tell her then? I tried to keep fruit in the car so that at traffic lights, we could hand out a banana or an apple. When a woman put up a tent on the sidewalk in front of our stairs, I filled all her water bottles.

Now we have a couple hundred new neighbors, and I’ll be telling anyone who will listen what an honour it is to live among the homeless. Without my daughter, I might not have come to the same conclusion.

【1】What was the advantage of the author’s new house?

A．It was close to a tourist attraction.

B．There were too many neighbors around.

C．It was big enough for the family to use.

D．A bus depot around it helped them understand how a city worked.

【2】How did the author’s daughter feel when she found the buses were gone?

A．Afraid.

B．Puzzled.

C．Pleased.

D．Upset.

【3】Why was the author’s daughter happy when she knew the new use of the bus depot?

A．She thought she had a role in city life.

B．She disliked the idea of bridge housing.

C．She realized it would be helpful to the homeless.

D．She could live in peace finally without the buses.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．My role of the city life.

B．My tiny but clean house.

C．My family’s love for our house.

D．My family’s honor to live among the homeless.

29、Marvel at These Freaks of Nature
