I made a pledge (誓言) to myself on the way down to the vacation seaside cottage(別墅). For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.

The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical（圣經(jīng)的）passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.

And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”

“Oh, Tom, you noticed.” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.

After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk along the seaside. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked along the seaside while the children flew their kites.

So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.

There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our seaside cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.

“What’s the matter?” I asked her.

“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with sadness, “do you know something I don’t?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well…that checkup（體檢）I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me？Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”

It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.

“No, honey,” I said, hugging her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

1. In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably means “_________.”

A. unconditionally B. by chance

C. unfortunately D. in advance

2. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because __________.

A. she looked lovely in her new clothes

B. he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm

C. he was determined to be a good husband

D. she was seriously ill

3. The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What was the one thing that went wrong?

A. He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.

B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.

C. He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.

D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.

4. By saying “I’m just starting to live,” Tom means that __________.

A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life.

B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband.

C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change.

D. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before

A couple who held hands at breakfast every morning even after 70 years of marriage have died 15 hours apart. Helen Felumlee, died at 92 on April 12. Her husband, 91-year-old Kenneth Felumlee, died the next morning.

The couple’s eight children say the two had been inseparable since meeting as teenagers, once sharing the bottom of a bunk (雙層) bed on a ferry rather than sleeping on night apart.

They remained deeply in love until the very end, even eating breakfast together while holding hands, said their daughter, Linda Cody. “We knew when one went, the other was going to go,” she said. According to Cody, about 12 hours after Helen died, Kenneth looked at his children and said, “Mon’s dead.” He quickly began to fade, surrounded by 24 of his closest family members and friends when he died the next morning. “He was ready,” Cody said, “He just didn’t want to leave her here by herself.”

Son Dick said his parents died of old age, surrounded by family.

The pair had known each other for several years when they eloped（私奔）in Newport across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, on Feb. 20, 1994. At two days shy of his 21st birthday, Kenneth-who went by Kenny-was too young to marry in Ohio. “He couldn’t wait.’ son Jim said.

Kenneth worked as a railroad car inspector and mechanic before becoming a mail carrier for the Post Office. He was active in the church as a Sunday teacher.

Helen stayed at home, not only cooking and cleaning for her own family but also for other families in need in the area. She taught Sunday school, too, but was known more for her greeting card ministry, sending cards for birthdays, sympathy and the holidays to everyone in her community, each with a personal note inside. “She kept Hallmark in business,” daughter-in-law Debbie joked.

When Kenneth retired in 1983 and the children began to leave the house, the Felumlees began to explore their love of travel, visiting almost all 50 states by bus. “He didn’t want to fly anywhere because you couldn’t see anything as you were going,” Jim said.

Although both experienced declining health in recent years, Cody said, each tried to stay strong for the other. “That’s what kept them going,” she said.

1.From the second paragraph we can infer ______.

A. Helen and Kenneth have two children

B. Helen and Kenneth have eight children

C. Helen and Kenneth once stayed on a ferry together

D. Helen and Kenneth loved each other since teenage times

2.From what Cody said, we can learn the children _____.

A. were not in front of their father

B. don’t look after their father

C. foresaw their father would go

D. surrounded their father

3.What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?

A. Helen and Kenneth got married when they didn’t reach the demanded ages.

B. Helen and Kenneth got married after they had known for 2 days.

C. Helen didn’t wait for Kenneth.

D. Kenneth was 22 years old when they got married.

4.How many jobs did Kenneth get?

A. Four. B. Three. C. Two. D. One.

Half of the world’s population is affected by Asian monsoons（季風(fēng)）, but monsoons are difficult to predict. American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons, which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.

Every year, moist （潮濕的）air masses，known as monsoon，produce large amounts of rainfall in India, East Asia, Northern Australia and East Africa. All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.

According to Edward Cook , a weather expert at Columbia University in New York., the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition, climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use. Therefore, he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years traveling across Asia, looking for trees old enough to provide long-term records. They measured the rings, or circles, inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.

Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees. The researchers developed a document they are calling a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas. It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries, beginning in the 1300s.

Professor Cook says the tree-ring records show periods of wet and dry weather. “If the monsoon basically fails or is a very weak one, the trees affected by monsoons at that location might put on a very narrow ring. But if the monsoon is very strong, the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year. So, the wide and narrow ring widths of the chronology that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability.” With all this information, researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.

“There has been widespread famine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts. And on the other hand, if the monsoon is particularly heavy, it can cause extensive flooding.” said Eugene Wahl, a scientist with America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “So, to get a sense of what the regional moisture patterns have been, dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail, I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.”

1.What’sthe passage mainly about？

A. The effects of Asian monsoons.

B. A breakthrough in monsoon prediction.

C. The achievements of Edward cook.

D. The necessity of weather forecast.

2. It is difficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because_________

A. it is hard to keep long-term climate records.

B. they are formed under complex climate systems.

C. they influence many nations.

D. there is heavy rainfall in Asia.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Long and details climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.

B. The Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 years.

C. The trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak.

D. The rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon-affected areas.

4.What do we know about the research according to Eugene Wahl?

A. It will help people prevent droughts and floods.

B. It should include information about human life in the past.

C. It has analyzed moisture models world wide,

D. It is a great achievement in climate science.

5.Which of the following best describes the tone of this passage?

A. Humorous B. Pessimistic

C. Matter-of –fact D. Friendly.
