Mother Tongue (语言)

    My name is Jiniku but everyone calls me Joey, including my parents. My father is American but my mother is not. My mother grew up in a country whose name I cannot pronounce correctly. She was educated in French and Latin, Spanish and German.

    My mother wrote all day, but never showed anyone what she wrote. She had notebooks she would write in, and a typewriter to straighten out (整理) the final copy.

    When she had typed (打字) pages, she put them in a box. This box was deep under the bed that she and my father shared.

    There were only two words that she ever said in the real voice, with her real accent (口音), real tongue. I heard her say them only three times in her life. She taught them to me one night as I lay on her legs, sweating (出汗) with fever.

    "Jiniku," she said in a low voice. "Jiniku." I focused (集 中) on her voice through my fever, realizing that something had changed. She was speaking from a part of her that she had not opened for a long time. She took my hand, and placed my palm (掌心) over her heart. "Juriszu." She stared out the window. There was a long silence. I could feel her heartbeat, which was calmer and slower than my own. "My name," she said at last, speaking once more in English, "means „dark ocean (海洋).‟ And you, Jiniku, my baby, yours means „life.‟" She looked out the window again. "„Ji‟ is the word for a happy birth. One where everyone lives and there is little pain. „Ni‟ is a tree that had its roots (根) spread far and whose branches (树枝) shelter (庇护) all. „Ku‟ is spirit. You have this all-encompassing (包罗万象的) life." She placed her hand on my heart. "The first and last letters of our names are the same," she said. "Don‟t forget that, Jiniku."

For thousands of years,people have lived with dogs. Ancient paintings on the walls of caves(岩洞)show people living with dogs. More than one third of the homes in the United States,Canada,and Australia have dogs. Almost one fourth of the homes in England have dogs. In each country,these dogs come in all shapes and sizes. 

The largest dog in the world was Zorba,a huge mastiff(大驯犬)that died in . When Zorba was seven years old in ,he was centimeters tall. In other words,Zorba was more than half as tall as an adult man. At his largest,Zorba weighed more than kilograms. 

While the smallest dog ever was a Yorkshire Terrier dog named Sylvia from England. This dog was only centimeters tall and just under centimeters from nose to tail. The dog weighed half as much as your English book,and even a young child could easily pick it up with one hand. It died in when it was only two years old. 

Some dogs are unusual,not for their size,but for their brain. One unbelievable dog is Endal,the "family member" of a man named Allen Parton,who has used a wheelchair(轮椅)since a car accident in . 

In 2001 ,Parton was hit by a car while crossing a road with Endal,and thrown out of his chair. Endal quickly moved Parton into the safe position,covered him with a coat,and pushed his mobile phone close enough for him to reach. Then,once he saw that Parton was all right,Endal ran back and forthbetween a nearby hotel and Parton,barking until people came out to help. 

Endal won a prize for his courage and cleverness,and he has been the subject of a number of TV documentaries.

We were silently waiting on the platform(站台) in the late afternoon.There he was,my1 grandfather with his grey hair and there I was,a teenage girl in my jeans and T﹣shirt.I was wondering how I was going to get through the next two days.Why did I agree to be with my strange grandpa on the two days' train ride from our city to2

No one else wanted to be his partner along3 way since my grandfather refused to take a plane.Unlike him,I loved to fly because I wanted to get to the destinations(目的地) as4 as possible.No matter how much he 5 about the quickness of flying,my grandfather refused to book a flight,saying, "It is not just about time.It's the experience of getting there. "

With my first step onto the train,the journey was already different from 6 .The train was modern and filled with friendly travelers.We seated 7 in the dining car,where we could enjoy food and drinks while we were watching the beauty of nature passing by.Instead of listening to my own music,I listened to my grandfather talking 8 my family history that I had never had the time or patience to learn about before.For the first time I felt I 9 him.I was thankful for our time together on the train.

In this rapidly changing world,we often miss important moments.It is necessary to slow down10 listen to elders who offer a piece of their history or experience and share their feelings.Life isn't just about the destination.It's about the journey.

阅读下面短文,理解其大意,从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

I learned a lot from my mother, a great woman. When I was a child, she always told me, "Sharing 1 is an easy act. You don't have to do much to make others happy." I didn't fully understand it until my friend Helen told me about her amazing trip to a small town called Gary. Then, I 2 to go there, too.

However, my parents didn't 3 at first when knowing my plan. They said I didn't know much about the place. They worried about my 4 there. After I told my plan to them in detail(详细地), they 5 said yes.

After arriving in Gary, I 6 the town was so different from where I lived. There were few stores or restaurants in the town, so you would be 7 enough to find a place to buy food or drinks. Houses were built on small hills and 8 of them had broken doors or windows. My job was to help the local people to9 their houses. The workdays were long and hot, 10 it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look day by day.

The kids there were also different. They seemed to enjoy every moment in life though they were poor. The small things could make them 11 . I couldn't find words to describe their joy when they received an ice cream, a ball or 12 a hug. The community was like a big family. Everyone knew each other and was ready to 13 help. 

What a wonderful 14 I had in Gary! I truly learned the 15 of what my mother said, "You don't need to do much to make others happy."
