1.A few years ago,my husband Charlie and I had marriage problems.Growing family responsibilities and financial worries took a toll on us and we began arguing frequently,often late into the night.
However,neither of us could take the step that would end our eleven-year marriage and bring heartbreak to our three young children.Deep down we knew we still loved each other,so we determined to work it out.Through countless discussions,we began to close the gulf.The more honest we were,the closer we became.
When I felt we were reaching solid ground,I asked my husband to give me an "eternity (永恒) ring".It was not so much the ring I wanted;it was the reassurance I thought it would bring.
We went shopping on a beautiful summer day.We walked hand in hand along a row of jeweler's shops.Finally I found a ring I liked.While waiting for it to be adjusted,the jeweler took my left hand and glanced at my engagement ring. "May I clean it for you?" he asked. "It really doesn't sparkle like it used to." Charlie said as I slipped the ring off my finger.A few minutes later the jeweler was back.The ring shone like new!
On the drive home,I didn't take my eyes off it.I forgot all about the eternity ring.I just couldn't believe how this old ring suddenly sparkled the way it had the day Charlie gave it to me.I had taken it for granted these past years,but with a little polish it could still make my heart beat fast.
And that's the way it is with a marriage.You have to work at keeping it polished and new,or else the grime (污垢) of the passing years will hide the joy.I put my hand on the seat between us and spread my fingers.Charlie covered my hand with his.I felt I was lucky to be able to see the sparkle in something old when I thought I needed something new.

3.Five years after a deadly earthquake and tsunami hit Japan,recovery remains years away.
More than 16,000 people died in the disaster and more than 470,000 were removed from their homes,says the Japanese Red Cross Society.Over 2,500 people are still missing and predicted dead.After pressure from survivors,the Japanese Coast Guard began underwater searches for the missing.
In Fukushima,more than 100,000 families still cannot return home,says the Red Cross Society.This is because of radioactive pollution from the damaged Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
In Japan,the disaster is known as "3-1-1",marking the date five years ago.
It was really three disasters rolled into one.
"It started with an earthquake devastating(毀滅)in itself,then the tsunami,and then the radiation from the nuclear plant," said Shioko Goto,a Japan expert at the Wilson Center in Washington,D.C..Goto said the disaster showed the world "Japanese resilience(快速恢復的能力)and Japanese unity. "
But it also showed shortcomings.Among the most notable,the long time it took to stabilize the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant after it was flooded from the tsunami,Goto said.That process took eight months.Another,Japan's dependence on nuclear power,she said.The disaster forced Japan to close all of its nuclear power plants,leaving parts of the country without electricity.
Goto offered up one major difference from the last major Japanese disaster,the 1995 Kobe Earthquake.In 2011,social media was everywhere,she said.Social media offered up plenty of "unfounded rumors and fearmongering(制造恐慌)," Goto said.
But it also kept pressure on Japanese authorities to do more.Chikara Yoshida lost his only son,a 43-year-old volunteer fireman,on March 11,2011.He and his daughter posted a petition(請愿書)on Facebook to restart underwater searches.It drew over 28,000 signatures,according to the Associated Press.
The Japanese Coast Guard announced that it would resume searches this week.There have also been complaints that reconstruction efforts in hard-hit northern Japanese communities have been too slow.This week,Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the government will respond.
(1)The number of the people who died in the disaster is
A.more than 18,500
B.over 16,000
C.over 470,000
D.more than 2,500
(2)What are the three disasters rolling into one?
A.Nuclear power,tsunami and earthquake.
B.Flood,earthquake and tsunami.
C.Flood,tsunami and nuclear power.
D.Earthquake,tsunami and nuclear radiation.
(3)Which of the following statements is true?
A.In Fukushima,more than 10,000 families still cannot return home.
B.The disaster forced Japan to close most of its nuclear power plants.
C.Japanese authorities were forced to do more after the disaster.
D.Chikara Yoshida and his daughter posted a petition on the Associated Press.
(4)What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The government can't afford such a large sum of money in reconstruction efforts.
B.People complained reconstruction efforts in hard-hit northern Japanese communities have been too slow.
C.People in hard-hit northern communities have had a happy life since the disaster.
D.The government may take measures to promote reconstruction.組卷:23引用:3難度:0.5 -

7.Hospital Food-The Best Medicine Few sick people consider the quality of the food when choosing a hospital.That is perhaps just as well.Even in America,a country where private hospitals have long provided individual rooms with such comforts as personal cable television,patients are often still fed institutional food "Mystery meat" and (1)
