　　A(原創(chuàng))A woman who lived in a coma(昏迷)for 42 years, unendingly cared for by her family, died Wednesday in her home in Miami Gardens, Fla.

　　Edwarda O’ Bara was a 17-year-old high school student in 1970 when she became sick from her diabetes(糖尿病)medication and slipped into a diabetic coma. Just before she lost consciousness, Edwarda asked her mother, Kaye O’ Bara, to never leave her side, and her family never did.

　　Edwarda’ s father, Joe O’ Bara, and Kaye took care of their daughter—reading to her, playing her music, making sure she was turned every two hours, bathed, given insulin(胰島素)and given nourishment through a feeding tube—until their deaths in 1976 and 2008, respectively. After that, Edwarda ’ s sister Colleen O’ Bara took over.

　　Her family’s unending care for her became a story told across the world. And visitors from across the world traveled to the Miami Gardens every year, sometimes appearing at the doorstep on random days, other times for Edwarda’ s yearly birthday party, a cheerful affair with decorations, balloons and cake.

　　Through it all, Edwarda remained in a coma. But to her family and followers she remained alive. Colleen O’ Bara described her as “the best sister in the whole wide world”.

　　“She taught me so much, especially after she was in the coma, ”Colleen O’ Bara said. “She taught me so much about unconditional love that I couldn’t say I had it before. She taught me about patience that I didn’t have before. I learned so much from taking care of my sister. It’s like I grew up overnight. ”

　　In an announcement of Edwarda ’s death posted Thursday on a website, Colleen O’ Bara wrote, “Yesterday while taking care of Edwarda I noticed her looking directly at me and gave me the biggest smile I had ever seen. She then closed her eyes and joined my Mom in Heaven. ”(310W)

　　2. Edwarda’s parents did everything below to take care of her except　.

　　A. reading to her

　　C. taking a walk with her

　　D. turning her every two hours

　　3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A. Edwarda’ s mother looked after her for 38 years in her coma.

　　B. Edwarda’ s brother took over after her parents died.

　　C. Edwarda described her sister as the best one in the world.

　　D. Edwarda learned a lot from her sister.

　　4. What’s the main idea of the passage?

　　A. Edwarda’ s family’s selfless care for her became a story told across the world.

　　B. Edwarda became sick from her diabetes medication and slipped into a diabetic coma.

　　C. Edwarda died after 42 years of coma and her family kept their promise to take good care of her.

　　D. Edwarda smiled when she died.

　　B

　　A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

　　“You are employed, ” he said. “Give me your email address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start. ”

　　The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an email. ”

　　“I’m sorry, ”said the HR manager. “If you don’t have an email, that means you do not exist. And the person who doesn’t exist cannot have the job. ”

　　The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.

　　The man realized that he could survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and returned late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.

　　He started to plan his family’s future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan.

　　When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email address. The man replied, “I don’t have an email. ”

　　The broker asked curiously, “You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email? ”The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”(312W)

　　5. Why can’t the man have the job at Microsoft?

　　A. Because he was lazy.

　　B. Because he didn’t pass the test.

　　C. Because he didn’t have an email.

　　D. Because he didn’t have a computer.

　　6. The underlined word “tripled” can be replaced by“　”.

　　A. became large

　　B. became three times

　　C. increased quickly

　　D. decreased quickly

　　7. The man can be described as　.

　　A. helpful and considerate

　　B. positive and generous

　　D. stubborn and unselfish

　　8. Which proverb can best describe the story?

　　2.【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段中Edwarda’s father, Joe O’ Bara, and Kaye took care of their daughter—reading to her, playing her music, making sure she was turned every two hours, bathed, given insulin and given nourishment through a feeding tube可知, 選C。

　　3.【解析】選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段和第三段可知, 自從Edwarda在1970年陷入昏迷后, 她父母就一直照顧著她, 直到他們分別于1976年和2008年去世, 母親照顧了她38年, 故A項(xiàng)正確; 由第三段中的Edwarda’ s sister Colleen O’ Bara took over. 可知, B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤; 由第五段中的Colleen O’ Bara described her as “the best sister in the whole wide world”. 可知, C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤; 由第六段Colleen所講的話可知, 是Colleen從Edwarda身上學(xué)到了很多, D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。故選A。

　　4.【解析】選C。主旨大意題。通讀全文可知, 本文主要講述了Edwarda在她昏迷了42年后, 微笑著離世。而在這42年中, 親人們堅(jiān)守愛的承諾, 一直不離不棄地悉心照顧著她。故選C。

　　7.【解析】選C。觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)男子利用自己手中的僅有的錢到逐步成功的過程, 可推知男子非常聰明, 也非常勤勞。沒有提及他做好事或捐錢所以不能說(shuō)他樂于助人或慷慨或無(wú)私, 故可排除其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)。

　　8.【解析】選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中的故事可看出暫時(shí)的失敗對(duì)一個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)不一定就是壞事, 也可能成為他成功的契機(jī), 故選A項(xiàng), 表示“塞翁失馬, 焉知非福”。Paras. 1~4 No email caused the man not to get a job at Microsoft.
