couldn?t understand how something this terrible could have happened.

It wasn?t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself get worried over small things. I?ve learned also that you can?t take things for granted. Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and don?t come back. One moment they?re living and the next minute they?re not. And, it doesn?t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.

You try to learn from what happened. You can?t be used up by it. You can?t live by it. All you can do is just live.

1. The word “positive” in the passage probably means ______. A. terrible B. bad C. good D. real 2. What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning? A. A fire starting B. A plane flying C. A terrible accident D. An act of terrorism. 3. From September 11, the writer had realized that___________. A. people should make the most of every minute they have B. he has become less tolerant towards others C. he should get worried about little things D. life is too short to care about others.

4. What?s the best title of this passage? A. A Report about September 11 B. The Tragedy of September 11 C. September 11 and My Family D. September 11 and My Turn. 参考答案 讲解:

1. C 见第一行,不管(no matter)事情多糟,总能发现有益的东西。 2. D 见第六行。

3. A 见倒数第三行。So we all need to make the most of every minute we have. 4. D 阅读理解9

Mrs. Weeks was reading a newspaper story to her class. The story said:Were you ever in a hospital when you were small? How did you feel? The doctors in Children?s Hospital are asking for money for children?s toys(玩具). Some children in the hospital must stay in bed for many weeks. Toys are needed to keep these sick(生病的)children happy and quiet. Money for them can be sent to the hospital. After Mrs. Weeks read the story,she said,“This story gave me an idea.”

“You want us to bring some money for the toys.” “We could bring some of our own toys for the children in the hospital.” said the boys and girls one after another.

“Well,your ideas would be nice,” Mrs Weeks said,“but mine is different.” “We could make some toys.” shouted one of them.

Mrs. Weeks smiled. “Do you think you could make toys?” she asked.

The best way of learning a language is using it. The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes you'll get your words mixed up(混合) and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can' t understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor(幽默感),you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don't be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes.
