Soon Tommy’s parents, who had recently separated, would arrive for a conference on his failing schoolwork and bad behavior. Neither parent knew that I had called the other.
Tommy, an only child, had always been happy, cooperative and an excellent student. How could I convince his father and mother that his recent failing grades represented a broken-hearted child’s reaction to his parents’ separation and pending (即將發(fā)生的) divorce?
Tommy’s mother entered and took one of the chairs. Soon the father arrived. Good! At least they were concerned enough to be here in time. They ignored each other.
As I gave a detailed account of Tommy’s behavior and schoolwork, I prayed for the right words to bring these two together to help them see what they were doing to their son. But somehow the words wouldn’t come. Perhaps if they saw one of his dirty, carelessly done papers?
I found a sheet in the back of his desk. Writing covered both sides: not the assignment, but a single sentence scribbled (潦草地寫) over and over.
Silently I gave it to Tommy’s mother. She read it and then handed it to her husband. Then his face softened.
At last he folded the paper carefully, placed it in his pocket, and reached for his wife’s hand. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled up at him. He helped her with her coat and they left together.
In his own way God had given me the words to reunite that family. He had guided me to the sheet of yellow copy paper covered with the pain out pouring of a small boy’s troubled heart.
The words are “Dear Mom…Dear Daddy… I love you…”
【小題1】The author called Tommy’s parents in order to ________.

A．solve the couple’s problem
B．scold them for their divorce
C．help them realize their influence on Tommy
D．blame Tommy for his failing grades
【小題2】This passage is most probably written by _________.
A．a(chǎn) teacherB．a(chǎn) journalistC．a(chǎn) lawyerD．a(chǎn) doctor
【小題3】How did Tommy’s parents feel after seeing the words?
A．Satisfied.B．Troubled.C．DepressedD．Moved
【小題4】 We can learn from the passage that _______.
A．the author knew Tommy often wrote to his parents
B．the author said a lot to make Tommy’s parents reunite
C．Tommy hated his parents divorcing
D．Tommy was greatly influenced by his parents
【小題5】 What would be the best title for this passage?
A．A separate familyB．Tommy’s essay
C．Never divorceD．A good teacher

The quake happened close to the area where 70,000 died when another powerful hit took place in 2008. The 4.20 earthquake shook Sichuan with 208 people missing or dead. Nearly 14, 000 are reported to have been injured. Thousands of buildings collapsed, leaving victims homeless. Water and electricity supplies were cut off, which left concerns about the welfare of the survivors. In Lushan, where the most of the damage was concentrated, facilities of communication broke down. Victims lost contact with the outside world.

All the country have been shocked at the tragic news. Numerous relief is pouring in from all over China to the victims of the Lushan earthquake. Governments of all levels have taken some efficient measures to relieve the impact of earthquake. On Sunday, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang made it to the worst-stricken Lushan, issuing several statements to ensure rescuing the buried and other injured people. Meanwhile, he visited some of those being treated for their injuries in the temporary hospitals set up with an open-air emergency facility. Rows of Red Cross tents are now home to some of the thousands left homeless by this deadly earthquake. State media says thousands of troops along with volunteers help with the rescue operation and to hand out supplies.

People from across the country are called on to donate to relieve and help rebuild the earthquake-hit area. Lots of students ranging from university students to kindergarten kids have given away their pocket money just to do their own bit in this relief campaign. Hong Kong special government at first proposed to donate 100 million HONG Kong dollars, which was rejected by some of members of government’s parliament（議員）, who questioned whether China’s Red Cross could put every cent into practical use honestly, for in 2008 Wenchuan earthquake China’s Red Cross failed to make it clear how they spent the charity money. Anyway the proposal was at last passed on May 3. At the same time, China’s Red Cross, determined to make a bit change, promised to give a detailed account of where every cent would go.
