Doctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather. I learned about crew resource management (機(jī)組資源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them , someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”.
小題1:What dose the author say about doctors in general?
A．They like flying by themselves.
B．They are unwilling to take advice.
C．They pretend to be good pilots.
D．They are quick learners of CRM.
小題2:The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_______.
A．he saved the plane by speaking up
B．he was in charge of a flying task
C．his boss landed the plane too late
D．his boss operated on a patient
小題3:In the last paragraph”landing gear up” probably means ______.
A．following flying requirements.
B．overreacting to different opinions.
C．listening to what fellow doctors say
D．making a mistake that may cost lives
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．CRM:A New Way to Make Flying Safe
B．Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor
C．The Making of a Good Pilot
D．A Pilot-Tumed Doctor

After my dad died on Aug.30, 2001, my mother made sure we marked each anniversary. At first, my brothers and sister and I would travel hours to get home, but eventually we got to the point where just one or two of us would make it back to go to Mass with her and spend the day together.
The great love of her life, the man who broke up with her right before her college graduation, only to return two years later claiming he’d traveled the world and hadn’t found anyone to compare with her, remained a daily presence in her life. She spoke about him so often and kept his memory so alive that people were sometimes surprised to learn that he was gone. She took over the garden where he’d planted and made it her own.
When the 10th anniversary of his death approached, my mom began talking about it and planning for it weeks in advance. The date on her kitchen calendar was circled and marked R.I.P. (Rest in Peace). Of course she wanted all of us there and settled the dates for our coming back.
On Monday — the day before the anniversary — she went to morning Mass and walked downtown for lunch with friends, and later told my sister on the phone that she felt Dad still so close that as she was walking back home, she heard someone yell and thought, “Oh, there’s Dick.”
That evening she went out to water flowers, just as my father, 10 years before, had gone out to the garden to pick vegetables before he died. A neighbor heard the tin watering can strike the ground as she fell and hit her head. My mother died within hours, on Aug.30, 2011, the 10thanniversary. She needed to mark that anniversary, she wanted us all home and my dad had waited long enough.
小題1:From the second paragraph we know that the author’s father______.
A．traveled around the world and left her mother
B．left her mother first but returned two years later
C．had a quarrel with her before her graduation
D．was not the right man her mother wanted at that time
小題2:We can infer from the passage that the author’s mother _____.
A．knew her last day was coming on Aug.30
B．kept everything of her father’s home
C．missed Father though he had passed away
D．remained a daily presence in his life
小題3:Which of the following statements is true EXCEPT that _____.
A．Mother died the day before the anniversary of Father’s death
B．Mother died in the garden as Father did ten years ago
C．Mother died because she fell to the ground accidentally
D．Mother died on the same date when Father did ten years ago
小題4:What does the writer imply in the underlined part of the last sentence?
A．She wanted us to stay at home.B．Mother missed us very much.
C．Mother expected us to get back.D．That day was her last day.

Last year, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC. I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?”
When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”
In an instant, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice—I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister. Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humble (卑微的) jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.
In my own life, I have experienced prejudice. I remember a time—at the age of 17 —when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me.
But now, living in my American middle—class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility (謙虛). By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.
小題1:How did the writer give the blind woman money?
A．In a modest way.B．In a polite way.C．In an impatient way.D．In a painful way.
小題2:According to the text, the writer________.
A. still lives a poor life                 B. was busy with his work
C. was born in Honduras               D. was a native of Washington D.C.
小題3:According to the text, the author most probably agrees that one should_________.
A．be nice to the elderly and the disabledB．try to experience different kinds of cultures
C．treat others equally with love and respectD．think about one’s past as often as possible
小題4:What would be the best title of the text?
A．A priceless lessonB．An act of prejudice
C．A sightseeing tripD．A humble moment

Li Denghai, with his muddy boots and tanned(曬黑的) face, may not look like he is one of China’s famous agricultural pioneers. But the 61-year-old man from Shandong Province has made scientific breakthroughs(突破), which made great contributions to China’s food security(安全). His main work has been in achieving the higher output of corn production.
Li, who holds the world record for the highest output of summer corn, once says, “Corn has a life; it sings and dances. If you listen clearly, it can speak to you.” He started his research in 1969 when he was 20 and just dropped out of a high school. He then read an article which pointed that corn output per mu in the USA was six times higher than that in China. He was shocked and set out to work on just a small piece of land round the clock to see if he could increase the output. He often went to the field with a flashlight late at night, if he had been away during the day. By careful nurturing (照料) he managed to double the output.
Li Denghai was awarded the “China Award for Significant Contribution to the Maize (玉米) Industry” in 2005, and the same year the company named after his own name came into the market on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Li, however, is never happier than when he is in the middle of his cornfields. “I can forget my tiredness when talking to my corns,” he says.
小題1:When Li Denghai began the study of corn,       .
A．he just graduated from an ordinary high school
B．he was shocked that the corn output in China was so low
C．he was only in his thirties
D．he wasn’t really fond of his work
小題2:The underlined phrase “round the clock” means     .
A．day and nightB．sooner or laterC．face to faceD．now and then

A．he is not good at communicating with people
B．he is too tired to go to the corn fields
C．he talks to his corn when feeling lonely
D．he loves his career deeply
