"Look, it's Baldy!" A boy shouted in my direction across the playground. Even though
I was used to regular insults(侮辱 ) because of the
11
on my hed, it was
12
horrible to hear. I sighed as I headed back to the class.
When I was just 20 months old, I suffered serious
13
after a bowl full of hot
oil fell on my head. I was
14
to hospital and had to say there for weeks while the
doctors
15
to save my life. "Holly's very
16
to be alive," they told Mum and Dad.
"But she'll be
17
with scars on her head, and of course her hair won't grow there."
As a child, I cared much about my scars, so I
18
wore a scarf to cover them up
when I left home.
19
I didn't, people would call me horrible names like Baldy.
Although my friends were always comforting me ,they never
20
understood how it felt.
Then through the hospital I was
21
to a children's burns camp, where children
like me can get any help. There, I
22
14-year-old Stephanie, whose burns are a lot
more serious than mine. But she is so
23
that she never lets anyone put her down.
"You shouldn't
24
what people say about what you look like because we're not different
from anyone else, Holly," she
25
me. "And you don't need to wear a scarf because y0ou
look great
26
it!" For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who'd been
through something
27
. So weeks later, at my 13th birthday party,
28
by her
bravery, I gave up my scarf and showed off my scars. It felt amazing not having to
29
away behind my scarf.
Now, I am
30

On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully,
he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football.
Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the
wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.
But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
"Everything went quiet in my head," Tim recalls(回忆). "I was trying to figure out how
to swim to the boys in a straight line."
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised
his head to judge his progress. "At one point, I considered turning back," he says. "I
wondered if I was putting my life at risk." After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close
enough to yell to the boys, "Take down the umbrella!"
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and
climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.
"Let's aim for the pier(码头)," Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon
afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. "Can you guys swim?" he
cried. "A little bit," the boys said.
Once the were in the water, Tim decided it would he safer and faster for him to pull the
boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their
backs. Tim swan toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.
“Are we almost there?" they asked again and again. "Yes," Tim told them each time.
After 30minutes, they reached the pier.
35. Why did the two boys go to the sea?

37. Why did Tim raise his head regularly?

B. To consider turning back or not.
C. To check his distance from the boys.
D. To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.

LONDON - A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake(假冒的)
bomb detectors( 探 测 器 ) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn't cared about
potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $77.8 million from the sales of his
detectors - which were based on a kind of golf ball finder - to countries including Iraq,
Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick, 57, was convicted(判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the
Old Bailey court in London.
"Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge
profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed
to causing death and injury to innocent people," Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. "you
have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt."
The detectors, sold for up to $42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous
objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they "lacked any grounding
in science" and were of no use.
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison
service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
"I never had any had results from customers," he said.
39. Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?
A. He sold bombs.
B. He caused death of people.
C. He made detectors.
D. He cheated in business.
40. According to the judge, what McCormick had done _______.
A. increased the cost of safeguarding
B. lowered people's guard against danger
C. changed people's idea of social security
D. caused innocent people to commit crimes
41. Which of the following is true of the detectors?
A. They have not been sold to Africa.
B. They have caused many serious problems.
C. They can find dangerous objects in water.
D. They don't function on the basis of science.
42. It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick _______.
A. sold the equipment at a low price
B. was well-known in most countries
C. did not think he had committed the crime
D. had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text
D
Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧). It's fun to come home.
It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where
we ran remember pain, live, and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met
here; I won three championships here.
If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk
in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right
of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories
are.
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on
Halloween-when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked
standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table,
I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden
dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of
my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime - waking
up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until
the morning.
I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart,
on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It
is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.
Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's
where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open
at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear
her say my name, which reminds me I'm home.

B. The author can still visit her first physical mome in Los Angeles.
C. The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining room.
