22、There can be magic in the touch of a hand that loves you. It brings comfort and a silent promise that says, “I am here and you are not alone.”
I memorized every detail about my children. As babies, they reached for me whenever they were hungry or tired or just needed to be held. Sometimes, if they woke in the night, just the touch of my hand would ease them back to sleep. They clung to me when they took their first steps and we held hands when crossing streets and walking from the car to their classroom on their first day of school.
As they grew older and more independent, I noticed that they didn't hold my hand much any more. I told myself it was part of growing up, and I should just be glad they could do things on their own now.
But when you've been needed so much for such a long time, it's hard to step back and feel unnecessary.
Then one day, I was visiting my oldest son in New York, where he was working as an actor on a TV show. As we were about to cross a busy street that was filled with traffic, he grabbed my hand and shouted, “Hang on to me, Mom,” then led me safely across.
At that moment, I realized two things. First, my boy had become a man. Second, it was clear that our roles had changed. We still needed each other, but in different ways than before.
That scene has replayed in various ways with each of my three children. They have all taught me to lean on them just as they once leaned on me, and that we can always lean on each other. We live miles apart, but stay in touch every day. There is magic and comfort and healing in the touch of a hand that loves you, even if it “touches” you from afar.

【3】The author's visit to her son in New York made her realize ________.
A.she needed her son more than before
B.her son had become mature and reliable
C.time with children is always happy
D.she was unwilling to accept the change in their roles

23、从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Patricia Blues, 29, has a new aim in life: to keep drivers’ hands on their steering wheels and off their cell phones. On November 2, 2007, Blues lived through a horrible experience. A motorist dialing a cell phone drove through a stop sign at 45 miles per hour and ran into the side of Blues’ car. Blues’ 2-year-old daughter was killed immediately in the crash.
Blues has since devoted her time top pushing for laws that would prevent this type of tragedy from happening again.
Cell phones are not the only distractions(分神) that cause accidents. Eating, changing CDs, reading maps, talking to passengers, and just reaching for an object on the floor can be dangerous. Therefore, the emphasis should be on educating drivers to avoid all distractions. However, talking on cell phones might be easier to regulate than eating or changing music. At least 34 states have already passed laws to restrict cell phone use in moving cars. No state has banned it yet, but several US. cities. Worldwide, 13 nations, including Australia, England, Germany, Japan and China have banned drivers’ use of cell phones in moving cars.
To date, no scientific evidence has been published showing that talking on the phone affects driving safety. But according to a test by some high school students, “driving while on the phone does affect safety and probably shouldn’t be done”.
【1】What happened to Patricia Blues on November 2, 2007?
A. She was seriously injured in a car crash.
B. She lost her daughter in a road accident.
C. She broke the traffic rules at a bus stop
D. Her vehicle was destroyed by a motorbike.
【2】The tragedy was caused by ________.
A. Blues’ lack of driving experience
B. the motorist’s failure of seeing the stop sign
C. Blues’ poor car conditions
D. the motorist’s absence of mind while driving
【3】Patricia Blues’ new goal of life is to persuade the government ________.
A. to forbid the carrying of cell phones in cars
B. to educate drivers to avoid all distractions
C. to ban talking on cell phones while driving
D. to study harmful results of using cell phones
【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Using cell phones while driving is easier to be controlled by law than other distractions
B. It is more important to make laws than educate drivers to be aware of driving safety.
C. Driving while on the cell phone is firmly against only by some students from high schools.
D. It is extremely urgent for the cities with a large population to restrict using cell phones
24、 In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter's end. So it's no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.
Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered "eggs" that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.
One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.
"There's something about their delicate nature that appeals to me," says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. "I've broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end. "
But there's an appeal in that vulnerability. "There's part of this sickening horror of knowing you're walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second" Chast's designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.
Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.
"There's an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world," says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.
The tradition, dating back to 300 B. C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.
【1】Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?
A.It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.
B.It is their major source of protein in winter.
C.It can easily be made into a work of art.
D.It can bring wealth and honor to them.
【2】What do we learn about the decorated "eggs" in Russia?
A.They are shaped like jewel cases.
B.They are cherished by the rich.
C.They are heavily painted in red.
D.They are favored as a form of art.
【3】Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?
A.Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.
B.Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.
C.Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.
D.Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.
【4】Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?
A.She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.
B.She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.
C.She always derives great pleasure from designing something new.
D.She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A Great Monday
Monday started out great. I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last minute studying for my math test that day. I was confident that I would get a high mark. I left my house, and minutes later, I was sitting with my friends on the school bus. We were busy talking about how we spent our weekend. At one stop, a boy named Ryan got on hurriedly. He tripped(绊倒) over someone’s foot and THUMP! He fell flat onto the floor.
Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily. Ryan picked himself up, dusted his jacket and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was burning with embarrassment. The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. It wasn’t long before the lunch bell rang. I met my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall.
When we finished eating, we headed out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we would do at that night’s football game. After much practice, we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly. We decided to practice it again one last time. Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe touch. RIIPPP! I felt my jeans was torn down in the middle of my backside.
I froze(僵住了). I had no idea what to do but stand still. Then I heard people burst out laughing and I saw them pointing at my broken jeans. Trying to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears began to well up in my eyes.
注意:1. 续写的词数应为150左右;
