Unfortunately, some men have been put in that situation, and with Father’s Day coming up next weekend, we want to share with you thei r stories.Justin McCaryOn October 8, 15, Justin McCary, his 10-year-old daughter Haley, and his niece were doing some rock collecting near a railroad bridge in Chattanooga. When they heard the train coming, they started to move away from the tracks, but that is when Haley’s foot became stuck. He pushed her off the bridge and she fell 15-feet into the stream below. The girl survived, but the train killed the father instantly.Jim TramelOn Easter Sunday, 16, Jim Tramel was on vacation with his family in Palm Springs. Suddenly Jim saw that something was wrong with his nine-year-old daughter. He immediately dived into the pool and managed to get his daughter to safety, but he was pronounced dead in the hospital. Other people were far away from the faulty wiring and not seriously injured.Fredrick MartinOn April 3, 12, Fredrick and his eight-year-old son Tre were cleaning out Tre’s grandmother’s garage when two men ran towards them and fired a few shots.

Police believe thatthis murder was random, and no one has ever been arrested in connection with the crime that left Tre Martin fatherless.Jacob MerkelEarly one morning in November 10, a fire broke out in the home of the Merkels in Manitoba, Canada.

I was also told that 72 percent of this dealership’s first-time visitors returned for a second visit.I was curious. How does a car dealership get 72 percent of its first-time visitors to return? And how can they sell six to eight cars a day in a declining car market?When I walked into Saturn of Albuquerque that Fr iday, the staff there didn’t know me from Adam; yet they shared with me their pricing policy, the profit margin on every model, and staff income. They even opened their training manuals for my review andinvited me back on Saturday if I wanted more information.On Sunday, the day after my second visit to the Saturn store, my wife, Jane, and I were walking as we frequently do. On this particular June morning, Jane gently slipped her hand in mine and said tenderly, ＂I don’t know if you remember, but today’s m y fifth anniversary of being cancer-free.＂I was surprised, partially because I was embarrassed that I had forgotten and, partially because.... Well, I didn’t know what to do with Jane’s information.The next day, Monday, Jane went off to work teaching school. Still not knowing what to do to mark this special occasion, I did the most impetuous thing I’ve ever done in my life: I bought a new Saturn. I didn’t pick the color or the model, but I paid cash and told them I’d bring Jane in on Wednesday at 4:30. I told them why I was buying the car.On Tuesday, it dawned on me that Jane always wanted a white car. I called the sales consultant at Saturn, and I asked him if he had anything white in the store. He said he had one left but he couldn’t guarantee it’d stil l be available on Wednesday at 4:30 because they were selling so fast. I said I’d take my chances and asked him to put it in the showroom.Wednesday came. Unexpectedly, someone in our family was admitted to the hospital. So, it wasn’t until 9:30 Saturday m orning when we finally made our way to the Saturn store. Jane had never been in a Saturn store. When we went through the front door, the Lord took control of her feet and her mouth. She saw that little white Saturn coupe all the way across the showroom floor. She quickly passed a multi-colored sea of automobiles, sat in the little white Saturn and said, ＂Oh, what a pretty little car. Can I have a new car?＂I said, ＂No. Not until our son graduates from college.＂She said, ＂I’m sick and tired of driving that old Dodge, I want a new car.＂I said, ＂I promise, just three more semesters and he’ll be out.＂Next, Jane walked around to the front of the car. As she looked it over, she let out the most blood-curdling, shrill scream I’d ever heard in 29 years of marriag e.Now, before I tell you why Jane screamed, let me tell you what the sales consultant had done. He had ordered a large, professionally engraved sign (white letters on blue). The sign stood alone on the hood of the little white Saturn coupe. It said ＂Congratulations, Jane. This car is yours. Five years cancer-free. Let’s celebrate life. FromTeam Saturn＂Every employee at Saturn of Albuquerque had signed the back of that sign.Jane saw it, screamed, collapsed in my arms and cried loudly. I didn’t know what to do. I was in tears. I took out my invoice (发票) from the previous Monday, pointing to the white coupe, said, ＂No, honey, this car isn’t yours. I bought you this one.＂I tapped the invoice with my index finger. Jane said, ＂No, I want this one right here.＂While this conversation was going on, there was no one in the store. The sales consultant had arranged it so that we could share the moment alone. Even so, it’s impossible to have a lot of privacy when so many people are standing outside the showroom windows looking in. When Jane screamed and collapsed in my arms, I saw everybody outside applaud and begin to cry.1、Why did the writer visit the Saturn of Albuquerque that Friday?A．He wanted to collect some raw materials for his story.B．He was asked to write a report about that car store.C．He was told the car store was launching a price reduction activity.D．He simply wanted to see why the car store enjoyed so much popularity.2、Why did the writer buy a new Saturn?A．Because his car was so old that he didn’t want to drive it any longer.B．Because Jane wanted a new car for her fifth anniversary of being cancer-free.

To help round out our recommendations, we also tapped some folks who you’ve heard on Code Switch before — novelists, scholars, poets and podcasters.All You Can Ever Know by Nicole Chung“The book is an extraordinary, honest and sympathetic look at adoption, race in America and families in general. It’s also such an engaging read. I stayed up way too late one night reading it because the story just pulled me in. And I’ve recommended many of my friends to read it so I can talk about it with them.” — Jasmine Guillory, author of The Wedding Date, The Proposal and the forthcoming book The Wedding Part.Becoming by Michelle Obama“It’s a deeply-moving coming of age story of Michelle Obama in her early life. There are such moving anecdotes about how this family just invested everything in the possibility of giving their children a better life. It’s not a sweet book, but at the same time, it’s deeply hopeful about the possibility of what happens when you work hard, what happens when you love hard.” — Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage, Silver Sparrow and other books.Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women’s Anger by Soraya Chemaly“What really impressed me about this book is this idea that women should be allowed to express their anger, particularly in Latin American families and communities.I just think Soraya goes into this incredible detail citing scientific studies and different works of literature that really convey the necessity to female anger, not only for the health of women, but for the health of equality in society.” — Jean Guerrero, reporterwith KPBS and author of Crux: A Cross-Border Memoir.1、Who wrote The Wedding Date?A．Tayari Jones B．Jean GuerreroC．Jasmine Guillory D．Soraya Chemaly2、Which book tells a bitter story with hope?A．Becoming B．All You Can Ever KnowC．Silver Sparrow D．Crux: A Cross-Border Memoir3、What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To sell books. B．To comment on books.C．To share reviews of books. D．To collect opinions of books 25．（10分）I recently posted a picture on Facebook from the movie Mad Max, a film where two groups race through the desert in steampunk vehicles, and wrote, “Actual picture of my way to work today.” It was meant to be a joke because of the sandstorms in Beijing, but one of my friends from back home thought it was real.I couldn’t imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I don’t know how I will be able to deal when I go back home,” said a friend who is about to end her gap year in Beijing. “I’ve become so spoiled in China.”China seems to be leading the way in innovation(创新) and convenience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.There have been rumors of starting bike sharing in my hometown for years with little success while bike sharing suddenly appeared in Beijing overnight. I just step outside and scan a code, and I am on my way.Going out to eat with a group of friends back home was troublesome for both the group and the servers. Splitting bills and swiping(刷) 10 different cards or making change for each person in the group can be a pain. But with China’s WeChat, you can quickly send your friends your part of the bill.The list goes on…When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month. That month has come and gone. Now, when someone asks me when I’m coming back, I think to myself, “Who knows?”While my friends think I am riding through the desert on a motorbike, I am actuallytaking a Didi for what is the equivalent of $5 in the US.With all the conveniences and technology here, I may never want to go back.1、What’s the function of Paragraph 1?A．To introduce a movie. B．To introduce the topic.C．To tell an interesting story. D．To show the weather in Beijing.2、How did the author feel when he first came to Beijing?A．He didn’t want to stay long. B．He couldn’t stand the weather.C．He never wanted to go back home. D．He was amazed at the bike sharing.3、What can we infer from the text?A．China is the first country to start bike sharing.B．The author has become used to mobile payment in China.C．People always use WeChat to pay when eating out in the US.D．The a uthor’s friends all know the convenience of living in China.4、What does the text intend to tell us?A．Bike sharing has spread all over China.B．Foreigners have misunderstandings of China.C．Life in foreign countries is not as easy as we thought.D．Technology has brought much convenience in China.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）The summer before the ninth grade, procrastination(拖延)affected my life in a deep way.
