My father talked to me about what kind of job I should look for. He wanted me to work for a big company and 41 me to take his advice. But I really hoped to be a teacher. We quarreled, even shouted and didn’t talk to each other. Even worse, I found it more and more42 for us to say sorry as time went by.A week later, I decided to break the 43 and make the first move. So I dialed my father’s number, gathered all my strength and let out the words in a low voice, “Dad….i am sorry. I shouldn’t44 with you that day!”There was a 45 at the other end. After a while, he replied also in a low voice, “Well, that’s all right, honey.”I was unexpectedly 46 and raised my voice a little, “Dad, I understand why you don’t want me to be a teacher, but to be a teacher is my dr eam job. I hope you can understand me.”From the other end of the line comes my father’s response, “Sorry, honey. I shouldn’t have forced you to accept my idea. You have your own dream. I should 47 you.”On hearing this, I was so moved that tears were rolling down my checks.

It was 1994, but I can remember my mother’s words as if it were yesterday, “Kernel, I don’t want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when y ou are around him.”AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up．From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret．My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone．For a while, he could take care of himself．But when I was 12, his condition worsened．My father’s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.We couldn’t afford all the necessary medicine for him, because Dad was unable to work．I had no money for school supplies and often couldn’t even buy food fordinner．I would sit in class feeling completely lost. The teacher’s words muffledas I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen how people reacted toAIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And evenadults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurseswould leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days．Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.I was 15 when my father died．He took his secret away with him. Having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me, he didn’t want to call attention to AIDS. I do.53. What does Kernel tell us about her father？A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.C. He worked hard to pay for his medication.D. He told no one about his disease.54. Why did Kernel keep her father’s disease a secret?A. She thought it was not shameful to have AIDS.B. She was afraid of being looked down upon.C. She found no one willing to listen to her.D. She wanted to obey her mother.55. Why did Kernel write the passage?A. To tell people about the suffering of her father.B. To show how little people knew about AIDS.C. To draw people’s attention to AIDS.D. To remember her father.CIn modern society there is a lot of disagreement about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is good for social progress. Others say that competition is bad. It sets one person against another. And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self – worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life- and- death affairs. In their single- minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually a dmitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot．Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self - respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others．Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition．56. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward．B. It improves personal abilities．C. It develops human qualities.D. It builds up friendly relationship.57. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who rely on others most for successD. those who are against competition most strongly．58. Which of the following may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back．B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life -and - death matter．D. Fear of failure should be taken away in competition.59. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Competition is bad for social development.C. Ideas about competition are different among people.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.八、阅读短文，还原句子。
