My 7-year-old daughter was doing laps, and I wanted her to keep up with the other swimmers. She couldnt. Neither could she

9、hear my frustration, because the swimming club would not allow parents on the deck. Parents waited in a glass balcony overlooking the pool. When she came up to greet me, ready to be hugged, I lit into her. Why didnt you try to finish the lap? How hard could it have been? My daughter drew away from m

10、e. You cant even swim, she said. Her words stayed with me. I asked myself: What does it take to learn something new? Did it help when someone criticized me? Before next weeks lesson arrived, I attended a swimming class for adults. When my daughter went to do laps, I went to the smaller pool at the o

11、ther end of the club. Each week, Isabelle and I came up from our separate pools tired but happy. We shared what we had done, hugged, and went out for a treat. At the end of the eight-week course, I proudly showed her my first swimming badge (徽章).You can do taps with me now, said my daughter. No, not

12、 yet. I had made it across the pool, but couldnt finish its length. My arms had felt like lead, and my legs like rubber.

15、 B The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth , is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in

16、which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat. It is the elephants great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it mu

17、st have every day, it kills small trees and under bushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attra

18、ct a variety of other plant-eaters. Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on t

19、he forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well. What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, m

20、any other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem. 24. What is the passage mainly about? A.

22、esult from the destruction of rain forests. B. They provide food mainly for African elephants. C. They are home to many endangered animals. D.

23、 B. pointing out similarities and differences C. describing the changes in space order D. giving examples C Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and d

24、isappointment. My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I alwaystry to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents,I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something

25、 minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table. I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if

26、 only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for

27、 my company and I wouldnt be here. But then I thought about the fact that hes 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all. I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only

28、” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im d
