"I've changed my mind.I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back." Lucien Lawrence's letter to Father Christmas, written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gale, must have touched every heart.Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn't see the stars in the sky.When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stare for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again.And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart.I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than 1 ever did when they were alive.I still live to please them and I'm still surprised by their reactions.I remember that when I became a professor,! was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn't wait to call my parents.The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was "I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!" I haven't forgotten.The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑釁者), and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas'' It's a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet " Deliver my soul from the sword(劍), and my darling from the power of the dog." Yet I know the death comes to us all,
and sometimes comes suddenly.We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die
tomorrow.We live on, I'm sure, in the lives of those we loved.a(chǎn)nd therefore we ought to have a care
for what they will remember and what they will treasure.If more parents knew this in their hearts to
be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.
【小題1】According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph ______.

A.puts forward the subject of the text

The fictional Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan was the subject of popular books and movies for many decades. In recent years, however, the character has been criticized as an ill image of Asian-Americans.
Yunte Huang, an English professor at the University of California, says that’s not the case. He has been exploring the character and real-life policeman who inspired him.
Charlie Chan has been a familiar character to readers and film-goers, beginning in the 1920s. The detective solved crimes around the world in more than 40 films through the 1940s, and with the invention of television, found a new audience in the 1950s and 1960s.
Huang discovered Charlie Chan through books by American author Earl Derr Biggers, who created the character.
“One day, I happened to find two Charlie Chan novels. At that point I thought I knew that he was a negative character against Asians, but when I read the book,” he says, “I was immediately attracted. Ever since then, I’ve been a fan of Charlie Chan.”
As a fan of the books and films, Huang was surprised to learn that Charlie Chan was based on a real detective named Chang Apana, who was born to Chinese parents in Hawaii around 1871. Apana worked as a cowboy, and joined the Honolulu police force in 1898.
“He almost immediately became a local legend because as a former cowboy,” says Huang, “he would walk the most dangerous areas in Chinatown carrying a bullwhip(皮鞭)instead of a gun. He didn’t need that.”
Although some say the image of Charlie Chan, with his broken English, is embarrassing for Asian-Americans, Huang believes Chan’s broken English and unusual ancient sayings were part of his charm(魅力).
“Let me just quote(引用)a few – ‘Actions speak louder than French,’ or ‘Mind like parachute (降落傘). Only function when open.’ Charlie Chan always owes these instructive sayings to Confucius’ eastern wisdom.
For Huang, the fictional Charlie Chan is highly entertaining, while the real-life policeman, Chang Apana, is a Chinese-American success, whose story is worth telling.
【小題1】The passage mainly talks about ______________.

A.how Yunte Huang discovered Charlie Chan
B.how Charlie Chan became famous in the US
C.what Yunte Huang thought of Charlie Chan
D.how a cowboy became a famous detective
【小題2】According to the passage, we know that Charlie Chan __________.
A.was a character in books and movies based on a real detective
B.was a famous actor starring in movies beginning from the 1920s
C.was a famous detective solving crimes all over the world
D.was a Chinese immigrant who became a local legend
【小題3】Chang Apana didn’t need a gun as a weapon because__________.
A.he had his personal charm
B.he liked being a cowboy
C.he was not a true policeman
D.a(chǎn) bullwhip was more useful
【小題4】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.American author Earl Derr Biggers gave an ill picture of Asian-Americans
B.Yunte Huang believes Charlie Chan represents Asian wisdom in some way
C.Chan’s story was more popular with TV audience than readers and film-goers
D.Charlie Chan became an ill image of Asian-Americans when it first appeared.
