I’ve changed my mind. “ I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my dad back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to father for Christmas written after his schoolteacher’s father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched everyone’s heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father there too, either in your mind and heart. I find that my parents, who died years ago, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all my mother said was “ I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors, and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It’s a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword, and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

小題4:A
小題5:D

試題分析：
小題1:.A 通讀第一段可知，該段的作用是引起下文，把讀者帶入到作者想要討論的話題中。
小題2:B 根據(jù)第二段最后一句The values of my parents still live on可知，作者之所以會(huì)夢(mèng)到父母是因?yàn)轶w會(huì)到了父母的價(jià)值，這也是作者講述自己經(jīng)常夢(mèng)到父母的主要原因。
小題3:D 根據(jù)她母親的回復(fù)I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!可知，她的母親擔(dān)心她把時(shí)間過(guò)多放在了工作方面，沒(méi)有陪孩子的時(shí)間，因此是擔(dān)憂
小題4:A 根據(jù)最后一段的live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure可知，人生的價(jià)值體現(xiàn)在給與我們有關(guān)的、我們所愛(ài)的人留下最美好，最珍貴的回憶。
小題:D 根據(jù)詩(shī)句的內(nèi)容和第一段內(nèi)容可知，作者是想讓第一段所發(fā)生的悲劇時(shí)間不在發(fā)生，讓暴力和謀殺遠(yuǎn)離社會(huì)。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文介紹了作者對(duì)于人的價(jià)值觀的看法，要把握文章的情感脈絡(luò)。對(duì)于推理題的考查較多，在解答這類問(wèn)題時(shí)要求學(xué)生抓住題干文字信息，采用針對(duì)性方法進(jìn)行閱讀，根據(jù)詞義關(guān)系推斷具體細(xì)節(jié)，結(jié)合上下文提供的語(yǔ)境和信息進(jìn)行概括和判斷。?

I looked down at the beautiful roses and found it almost   53 . How did she know?
Suddenly the   54  seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Bob, you haven't   55  me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.

When I was 18, I had a motorbike accident that put me in a coma for three months. The doctors said there was little chance of my coming out of it, but my identical twin, Marcus, didn’t believe them and carried on talking to me. My first words when I came to myself were, “Hello, Marcus. ”Even though I had no memory of my own name, or that the woman crying at my bedside was my mother, I knew Marcus immediately; it was like a genetic(遺傳的)memory. just felt close to him.
As weeks went by, I still could remember nothing before the accident. Marcus was the only person I could relate to.
I had to relearn everything, and Marcus helped me. Because of my twin I wasn’t scared of having lost my memory; I believed everything he said. He became my memory, telling me about my school, friends, previous girlfriends and holidays, showing me family photographs, and telling me how perfect I was.
With his encouragement I slowly recovered and tried to become the person everyone around me loved. Then years later, when my memories flooded back, I learned that I was anything but perfect—I was troublesome, selfish, and now very angry with Marcus for having lied to me.
But finally I understood. Out of love, Marcus had chosen not to tell me about my dark side. He wanted me to have a fresh start—and in fact I had one.

                            C
Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it?  Many people are afraid to support themselves. Dr. Robert Albert， author of Stand Up， Speak Out， and Talk Back，thinks it’s because their self-respect is low. “There s always a ‘superior’ (長(zhǎng)輩) around ˉa parent， a teacher， a boss—— who knows better.” But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves. They offer “assertiveness(維護(hù)) training” courses——A.T. for short. In the A. T. Course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive (進(jìn)攻的) without hurting other people. In one way， learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A. T. Course will help the timid (懦弱的) person to lose his fear. But A. T. uses an even stronger motive (動(dòng)機(jī))——the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If someone you face is more “important” than you， you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. You can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do you can learn to speak out.
小題1: The problem the writer talks about is that…

A．some people have a low self-respect
B．there is always someone around who “knows better”
C．salesmen talk people into buying things they don’t want
D．people don t share enough
小題3: The A.T. Course often                     
A. make people distrust their own answers        
B. make things more favorable for “superiors”     
C. help people know as much as their “superiors”         
D. help people become more important

B. show they have a right to be themselves
