Chain of ______
My father and I have been separated for over two years.He was terribly harsh with me throughout my childhood，and.I felt that I couldn't forgive him.And yet，now he is dying，struggling to breathe through an oxygen tube.All I can think of is how much he loved me.
How he would kiss me on the forehead before school.How he bought me roller skates，although we were struggling by on his salary.How he would play chess and tennis with me，and take me to endless chess and tennis matches even though I never won anything.How he would fill in the quick crossword，leave a few clues and praise me if I solved tjye.aim.He kept every article I ever had published，even during our many estranged periods.He gave me a lot of his savings to buy a flat after I became a single mum when my daughter was one year old.And he set my date of birth as the passcode on his phone.
Yet I'm ashamed to say I hated him for everything：my cutting，my anxiety，my depression....He was there during the tough times，yet all I could think was that the tough times happened because of him，forgetting that the causes of events are complex，and that plenty of people who had happy childhoods have to deal with strict and pushy parents，too.I even stopped him from seeing my daughter，then three，the person that brought him most happiness，because I was scared he would hurt her，and that her life would be like mine.That decision would mean he never spoke to me again.
Born in 1930s，he was a man of few words，a silent romantic who signed his empty Valentine's cards to my mother with only his first initials（姓名的首字母）.Knowing he was old，I tried to get back in touch several times to make things right，but my mother said he didn't want to hear from me.I understand that.
It's much too late now.When I sit by his hospital bed and hold his large wrinkled hand，I ask him to squeeze it if he can hear me，he doesn't.So I tell him a few of the things I should have told him，though it's hard to say the words that I love him very much，and that I'm sorry about the estrangement.And it reminds me of what I've known for a long time：my dad didn't know how to be a father to me when I was young，because his father was harsh to him as a child.
I never thought that I'd feel this broken at losing him.I wish that his eyes will open，even for just a few days.I will give him a letter thanking him for all the things he has helped me and apologizing for all the ways I have wronged him.And when I give the letter to him，I will bring my five-year-old daughter with me，so he can see her happiness and sweetness and learn that the chain of hurt has finally been broken.

2．When you encounter animals，do you wonder what they're thinking？Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions（情感）in us，but what are they thinking？Does the look on their face and how they behave indicate how they're feeling-or are they feeling nothing at all？
Humans have a complex range of feelings，but it's hard to tell what's going on inside the heads of animals.Some of us own dogs because they are good companions，are loyal and seem to connect with us.We might even think they love us.Professor Kim Bard，an expert in comparative developmental psychology from the University of Portsmouth，told the BBC："We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically that some dogs will respond when their owner-but not a stranger -pretends to cry."The empathetic ability of cats，however，is harder to work out.
Other non-domesticated（非馴養(yǎng)的）animals might have feelings too.Giraffes and whales，for example，are known to experience sadness when someone in their group dies.It's believed that even tiny creatures like insects might have emotions as well.Research is beginning to show they experience a wide range of feelings.Kim says "they can be optimistic，pessimistic，or frightened，and respond to pain just like any mammal would."
Dr Barbara J King，Emerita Professor of Anthropology at the College of William and Mary，told the BBC："If we understand the profound depths of emotions animals can feel，this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses（屠宰場）around the world，and rethink those systems.It does seem all creatures feel emotion，but what is not clear is do they feel the same way as us？"
（1）What's the purpose of raising questions in the first paragraph？
A．To entertain.

C．The ability to stay calm when facing danger.
D．The ability to share work with their owners.
（3）What's the importance of the research，according to Barbara？
A．It may reduce the times of people visiting zoos.
B．It may change the food chain of the whole world.
C．It may cause zoos and slaughterhouses to disappear.
D．It may lead people to reconsider animals' well-being.
（4）How do the researchers sound when talking about the issue？
A．Careful.
B．Certain.
C．Critical.

3．Jamil Jan Kochai，the author of 99 Nights in Logar，searched for more than a decade for Susan Lung—the second-grade teacher who had changed his life over 20 years earlier.On Saturday night，the two were finally reunited at one of his book-reading events.
The writer was born in a refugee camp（難民營）for Afghans in Peshawar，Pakistan，and his family moved to California when he was just a year old.At home，they spoke mostly Pashto and some Farsi，so by the time he reached first grade，he was at a total loss because he could hardly speak English.Then came Mrs.Lung，who quickly realized that Kochai was deeply struggling at Alyce Norman Elementary School.
The two got to work，meeting for one-on-one lessons nearly every day after school.At the end of the school year，Kochai won reading-comprehension competitions.
Lung and Kochai lost touch when Kochai's father got a job in another city and the boy moved on，with a new love of reading and writing.When he grew older，Kochai's parents encouraged him to find his former teacher to thank her.But despite his efforts，he failed to track her down.
"I didn't know her first name.She was always just Mrs.Lung to me，so when I called places to ask about her，they couldn't find any records of her，"Kochai said.
Then，while promoting his first novel，he wrote an essay for Literary Hub magazine touching on the transformative impact that Lung had on his life.Lung's doctor happened to read it，and told the now-retired educator about that.
Lung's husband saw a Facebook post about Kochai's reading event on Saturday in Davis，California and suggested he drive his wife there.
"I had no idea they were going to be there，"Kochai said."It was just like a sweet dream.Mrs.Lung was sitting in the front row.She was just the same Mrs.Lung.Just as sweet，kind and warm as ever."
Kochai and Lung hugged，and Kochai finally got the chance to express to her how much he still thought of her and how much she meant to him.
（1）How did Mrs.Lung help Kochai？
A．By dropping by his house regularly.
B．By asking him to read more in class.
C．By spending extra time tutoring him.
D．By saving him out of a refugee camp.
（2）Why did Kochai have difficulty finding Mrs.Lung？
A．There were few records about her.
B．His parents provided little support.
C．He was too young to remember her.
D．He had limited information about her.
（3）How did Kochai feel when seeing Mrs.Lung at his reading event？
A．Surprised and delighted.
B．Shocked and angry.
C．Ashamed and regretful.
D．Proud and grateful.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．A Distinguished Guest Showed Up at a Reading Event.
B．A Writer Was Finally Reunited With His Former Teacher.
C．A Famous Teacher Saved a Poor Student's Whole Life.
D．A Book Changed a Celebrity and a Retired Teacher.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：6引用：4難度：0.2
