Earlier that evening, Id received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash. “Come as soon as you can.” cried my mother.I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mothers crying went through my head again and again.Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If theres anything I can do, let me know.” But I didnt know what to ask for.Suddenly, thr doorbell rang. It was Emerson.

Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.Now whenever I hear of a friend whos lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer,”If theres anything I can do ” Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that mans need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral.

CIn 1990, Ed Viesturs started for the top of Mount Everest (29,029 feet) from a high camp at 27,000 feet. He planned to climb it without oxygen tank, something only a few climbers had managed to do. Hed failed twice, once getting with 300 feet of the top before turning back. He left his high camp at 1 a.m., using a headlamp to find his way in the dark. Hed already been on the mountain for two months, receiving endurance and strength training in preparation for the Everest climb. Hed also lived through terrible cold, strong winds, and separation from friends and family. “The common practice was to use oxygen when climbing, as it, in fact, lowers the altitude (海拔) of the mountain by several thousand feet,” says Viesturs. “If I couldnt climb Everest without oxygen tank, I wouldnt climb it.” “You have to be physically fit,” he says. “But the mental (精神旳) part is big. Its so hard to keep going above 20,000 feet.” While making that final climb on Everest, he breathed 15 times for every step. He would tell himself to first reach the rock 100 yards ahead. Then hed find another rock, then another. Finally he stood on the top, with the whole world at his feet. “It was one of those dream-come-true moments,” Viesturs says. Today, Viesturs makes his living in part as a speaker, talking about his climb of Everest and of the worlds 13 other highest mountain, all without oxygen. He helps people find the strength to overcome their difficulties. Finally, in his words, “The art of mountaineering is knowing when to go, when to stay, and when to turn back. We should go step when working toward our dreams. There are no shortcuts to the top.”38. What does the article mainly talk about?A. Viesturs first successful climb of Mount Everest.B. Viesturs physical preparation for climbing Everest.C.The difficulties that Viesturs has met in his life.D.The lessons that Viesturs can share with others.39.

The first “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to (指旳是) _.A. being physical fit B.climbing Everest B. C.using oxygen when climbing D.climbing without oxygen41. Which sentence should go in the empty box in the last paragraph?A.I like being near the top of a mountain. B.Life is like climbing a mountain.C.You never climb the mountain twice.

However, you get a wide-eyed denial:”I didnt do it!” Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral (道德) development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there. Early Professor Craig E.Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong, such as taking a classmates toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it. In each case, they asked the children, How would the child feel? How would the mother feel? The childrens answers answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (也许旳) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极旳) feelings towards a confessor. Smith says,”Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a childs confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.” He adds, what parents can learn from these studies i
