C

One Sunday, my family had gathered at my parents’ house to feast upon Mom’s wonderful cooking. During the normal dinner chatter (閑聊), I noticed that my father was slurring (說話含混) his words. No one mentioned this during dinner, but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward.

We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.

Mom phoned me two days later. “The doctor found a brain tumor (腫瘤). It’s too large at this point to operate. Maybe they can do something then, but the odds are long.”

Even with the treatment, my father’s condition worsened, and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal (晚期的). During one of his stays in the hospital, we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him. By this time he had great difficulty speaking. I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her.

Watching the two of them together, I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever. Though grateful for the times they could share, I couldn’t shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background.?

On the visit to my parents’ home during what we all know was my father’s last days, my mother took Chelsey from my arms and announced, “Your father would like to see you alone for a minute.”

I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed. He appeared even weaker than the day before.

“How are you feeling, Dad?” I asked. “Can I do anything for you?”

He tried to speak, but he couldn’t make out a word.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t understand you,” I said.

With great difficulty he said, “I love you.”

We don’t learn courage from heroes on the evening news. We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations. In many ways my father was a strict, uncommunicative man. He found it difficult to show emotion. The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overcome that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of his life.

A.The writer accompanied his father to a medical examination.

B.The writer’s father got worse after the removal of the brain tumor.

C.The writer was quick to notice the strange condition of his father.

D.The writer’s father had known about his illness before the writer discovered it.

2. What does the underlined sentence “the odds are long” mean?

A.There’s little possibility for Father to recover.

B.It takes a long time for Father to recover.

C.Father needs love and care from his family.

D.They need a proper time to operate on Father.

3.The father had never said “I love you” to the writer before because ________.

A.he believed in strictness and punishment

B.he was not so attached to the writer

C.he thought there was no need to tell the writer

D.he was not used to openly showing his emotions

4.What does the writer attempt to tell us?

B.Don’t wait to see a doctor till it is too late.

C.Life is short, so live your life to the fullest.

There are two methods by which hydrogen (氫) can be used to power cars. The first way is to use hydrogen to drive the engine, in much the same way as many cars use gas. The second method is to use the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen in a battery, making the car a kind of electric one.

The dream of producing hydrogen in the car while driving along by electrolyzing(電解)water is a long way off, so we are still at the period of batteries and filling the tank with hydrogen gas. This is the difficulty for potential car users and producers. There are only sixteen hydrogen filling stations in Los Angeles and none in 99% of other cities worldwide.

Indeed, some of the big name automobile producers have pulled out of the race to put the first practical hydrogen car on the streets. Ford and GM have announced that they are pulling out in America and so has Renault in France.

However, the Japanese companies are pressing on. In fact, Honda introduced its first hydrogen fuel cell car in 1999. They are now producing second generation hydrogen car known as the FCX Clarity. Guess where they are available for sale? In only one city because of its filling stations.

Honda thinks that they could go into full-scale production of the FCX Clarity by 2020 if the world is prepared for them by then.

Then there are hydrogen-powered buses in several European cities including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Hamburg, London, Luxembourg and Madrid. Lotus, the makers of London taxis, have announced that they propose to manufacture hydrogen-powered taxis in time for the London Olympics.

So, the hydrogen vehicle is out there and the numbers will be growing fairly soon. The buses go back to their bus station, where an electrolyzing machine changes water into fuel for them to fill up on and the same will be the case for many of London’s taxis.

Unfortunately, getting fuel is not the only difficulty for the average motorist, a number of these vehicles cost about $300,000 each.

1.According to the text, hydrogen-powered buses ________.

A.can easily be filled up with gas.

B.a(chǎn)re likely to sell well in the future.

C.a(chǎn)re mainly used in the United States

D.won’t be used in the London Olympics

2.What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 5 refer to?

A.Japanese companies

B.Hydrogen buses

C.The FCX Clarity

D.Filling stations

3.Where are hydrogen cars currently available for sale?

A.In Barcelona

B.In Hamburg

C.In London

D.In Los Angeles

4.We can learn from the text that ________.

A.there are sixty hydrogen filling stations all over the world

B.hydrogen vehicles fueled by water will be very expensive

C.Honda will mass-produce the FCX Clarity by 2012

D.Honda produced its first hydrogen car in 1989
