It was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care. My older bother and I lived with Mom in a dingy multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses’ hoofs from “Wagon Train” or “Cheyenne”, and laughter from “I Love Lucy”, or “Mister Ed”. After supper, we’d sprawl on Mon’s bed and stare for hours at the tube.

But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys know at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she cleaned books. So she came home one day, snapped off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And you’re going to write a report on what you read.”

We moaned and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn’t have any books in the house other than Mom’s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I’ll drive you to the library.”

So pretty soon there were these two peevish boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly among the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.

The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.

It didn’t dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page.

Soon I began to look forward to visiting this hushed sanctuary form my other world. I moved from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened: I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn’t wait to get home to my books.

Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can’t believe my life’s journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.

But I know when the journey began the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.

On April 24^th, another natural disaster—the oil spill(泄露) in the Gulf of Mexico, happened. Millions of dollars have been used to help stop the spill and to clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil．Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea．

But governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage．Interestingly, the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run.

Of all of today’s environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious．Although oil is poisonous, it is a natural material．In the end, it breaks down naturally．In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean．If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened．      

However, we should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil．Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power（太陽能）, electricity, hydrogen, and so on．Much of this research, in the past, was stopped by the oil, gas, and coal．

If the world’s millions of cars were 10% more efficient（高效的）,we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year．If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher, too．

What is the passage mainly talking about?

A．Oil spills pollution．             B．What oil pollution is．

C．Oil tanker accidents.              D．How to reduce oil pollution.

How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe?

A．By giving a description．          B．By making an argument．

C．By giving an example．           D．By drawing a diagram(圖表)．

What does the underlined word "risk" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Transportation depending more on oil．

B．Poisonous oil breaking down naturally．

C．Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea．

D．More environmental damage being caused．

Which suggestion is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage?

A．We should build safer tankers in the near future．

B．We should develop new technologies to cut oil use．

C．Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines．

D．Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea．

Where can you read this article?

A．In a story book．        

B．In a science magazine．

C．In a novel.   

D．In a brochure．

       On Christmas Eve a few years ago an English couple（夫婦） received a very special telephone call．It was only a 20-second call but it was very important．The Haydens’ 15-year-old daughter had disappeared six months before．On Christmas Eve she rang them．“I’m phoning to wish a happy Christmas,” she said, “I love you．”

       Ronals and Edwine Hayden were so happy that they started a special telephone service called “Alive and Well”．The service helps parents to get in touch with children who have run away from home．

       Young people can phone “Alive and Well” and leave a message for their parents．The telephones are answered by answering machines．So no one can speak to the child of making him return home．

       Parents of runaway children who are under eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home, so children do not want to tell their parents where they are．Through “Alive and Well” they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses．

       The Haydens and their helpers write down the tape recorded telephone messages and connect the address given．Many of the 30,000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London．For only two pence they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents．They can dial（撥） 5675339 and stop a parent’s worry: Is he dead or alive?

72．The Haydens’ daughter rang her parents         ．

       A．because she knew she had done something wrong     

       B．in order to give them her address

     C．to say she was coming home soon    

       D．in order to comfort her worried parents

73．If you ring “Alive and Well ”,        ．

       A．you will get the information you want

       B．your message will be passed over to your parents

     C．your information will be kept a secret            

       D．your parents will know where you are

74．Which of the following is NOT true?

       A．The Haydens received an “Alive and Well” call from their daughter before Christmas．

     B．An “Alive and Well” call usually costs only two pence because it is quite near and short．

     C．In this text at least 30,000 British teenagers don’t want to live with their parents．

     D．The “Alive and Well” call is far less important than the message it sends．

75．Through “Alive and Well”, parents of runaway children         ．

     A．often fail to persuade their children to return home

     B．know nothing from their children to return home

     C．can say nothing to their children

     D．can ask the police to help them to find lost children
