21、My mother never talked about her Chinese childhood when my siblings and I were growing up, and we never asked. From her we learned that family history was not of interest, and in our ignorance we turned our backs on what had gone before. We lived on a plateau in a land of canyons, separated from our past by chasms(断裂) of time, language, and culture. My mother was a native guide who could have led us along the sheer cliff walls and dangerous riverbeds of the old days, but she never did.
For her, the past was divided into parts, each occupying a separate memory bank, some of which she tried never to visit. For me, her past was just a hopeless jumble(混乱), like a creaky, junk-ridden attic to which I was not allowed entry. China, America, and somewhere, vaguely, in between, Taiwan: I could not comprehend how the three came together to form the person who had formed me.
My mother never told stories; she only mentioned facts and casual references to her past. She described the most thrilling events as casually as she would trip to a local supermarket. “When we left China, I had to wear gold bars sewn into my belt. They were so heavy.” She might as well have been talking about a bag of groceries for all the emotions she displayed. When she happened to mention the fact that her grandmother had bound feet, I accepted the news with equal equanimity(泰然). Her delivery was so matter-of-fact I assumed everyone’s grandmother wore shoes that measured a mere three-and-a-half inches.
Now I begin to understand. To reflect on the past means to reexperience it. A onetime high-school quarterback remembers the touchdown that won the state finals in vivid detail. Doting(溺爱的) parents tirelessly and tiresomely recount the same dull anecdotes from their children’s lives. But the process works in the negative as well, and the terror that wakes my mother up at night gasping and pressing hand to heart, is very real. She did not want to share it with me. Perhaps she wished to protect me. Her secrecy was a gift, I in turn, did not want to receive.
My physical features marked me as a stranger in my own country, but I knew nothing of the land of my ancestors. I could not even converse(交谈) with the various relatives and old family friends who crowded around the dinner table at holiday times. Their jokes and discussions swirled meaninglessly about my head. Among aliens, I myself was an alien. I grew up, self-contained, and removed from the world around me, unable to explain anything to anyone because nothing had ever been explained to me. At the same time I longed to—a bird beating its head against glass, wanting to be let inside. If I could somehow capture my mother’s essence(实质), the glass would disappear. The path forward would be clear.
I was an adult and a writer in search of a subject when I finally asked my mother to talk about her life. That first conversation, she spoke practically in monosyllables(单调). “Yes” and “No” were the only response I could induce out of her. If a question demanded a more detailed answer, she responded by saying, “I don’t know.” I was the customer at an information store; she was its surly clerk. Eventually I ended up inventing my own time frame for the worthless trickle of memories she reluctantly let drip forth. She did not care if the dates were accurate or not. The conversation took on a surrealistic tinge(色彩). She would mention that she had moved to a certain city in 1943. “Oh, no.” I would respond. “It had to be 1945.” She would shrug. Together, we were reinventing her past, not exploring as I had wished. The process left me so frustrated that when she got up to go to sleep, I badgered(缠着) her all the way to her bedroom. She lay on one side while I hovered(蜷缩) in a chair over her.
“Tell me more.” I begged. “What do you remember?”
“Ai-you” she was finally annoyed, her eyes blinking open. “I just don’t want to remember.”
I think my mother was sorry she could not help me more. She gave me something before I left. At the time I doubted that it would do me any good. It was a list of names of some of the eager voices who used to call asking for her in Chinese when I was a young girl. Much later, I would realize it was a map to my mother’s heart. At the time, I simply had no other direction to follow. I began returning the phone calls from my mother’s past.

22、 We’ve all been there, running for a ls or train on a cold morning only to find that our nose is also running! Grab some tissues and learn the science behind the phenomenon known as “skier’s nose.”
A nose like a running tap in winter is business as usual for many people. People call it “skier’s nose". In a study, researchers found that 96 percent of people surveyed reported experiencing some degree of the condition.
Apparently, getting a runny nose in cold weather is a bodily defense reaction. That' s because the nose has two main purposes: 1) to filter bacteria so they don’t reach our lungs, and 2)to warm and humidify(加湿) the air before it reaches our lungs. Our airways are lined with tiny hairs known as cilia In the nose, these cilia wave back and forth to remove our mucus (黏液)so that bacteria can be blocked out. In cold weather the cilia are slowed. When cilia slow, bacteria remain in place and multiply, and this is why people get sick in winter. Not that the nose isn't trying to keep you healthy. All that running nose experience is the nose working overtime to produce more liquid to help move bacteria along. To help it out, experts say that you can try physically warming your nose: Rub your hands together, and then breathe into cupped hands or draw in steam from hot green tea and drink it, as green tea helps accelerate the growth and functioning of cilia.
Our nose runs in winter for one more purpose, which is to fight against the drier outside (and inside) air. In winter, or when it’s cold outside, the air is much drier than in summer. Our noses respond by producing more liquid to help humidify the air to a level our bodies need, and that’s when it starts to run out of the end of our nose.
【1】What does the underlined word “filter” probably mean in the third paragraph?
A.Kill. B.Prevent.
C.Defend. D.Trap.
【2】What can we know about “cilia”?
A.They only exist in the nose. B.They stop working in winter.
C.They can sweep away mucus. D.They help break down bacteria.
【3】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.When Do You Have A Running Nose?
B.What Are the Purposes of Your nose?
C.How Can You Deal With “skier’s nose”
D.Why Does, Your Nose Run When It's Cold?
23、Cala didn’t like us. Any of us. We didn’t do anything to offend her and she didn’t know us but that didn’t matter; she still didn’t like us.
As new teachers in the Emirati school, we Westerners greeted her every day. She ignored us. She came into our rooms and bypassed us as she shook hands with all the non-Westerners. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Eventually, we stopped trying to befriend her.
I wouldn’t say her nationality but her friends had been fired from the school. We had been employed in their places and that was enough for her to have nothing to do with us.
Well after 16 months in the school we had a secret friend gifting. To my surprise, I drew her name from the glass jar and that meant she was my secret friend. My role was to buy her a gift and say something about her when we publicly acknowledged who our secret friend was.
I decided to gift her a coloured bangle（手镯）. I added a postcard and wrote “Love and Blessings, Rose Marie.
Then came the day. We all gathered in the meeting room. When you gave your gift, you said a few kind words about your secret friend and passed the gift to her. What could I say? Everyone knew she didn’t like the Westerners. She taught music in the school so I said “My secret friend is someone who brings music to our ears every day.” She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and accepted my gift.
Since then, she smiles often. We hug and shake hands when we meet. I have seen her wear my gift several times and I am so pleased.

24、I look forward to my half hour train ride to work every morning. I can look out of the window as it twists and turns itself through neighborhoods with the sun casting its strong lighting on the floor of the train car. I sometimes get lost in thought while following the light. But the reason I love this ride is that it’s a reminder of how neighborhoods can change from block to block.
For almost a year now I have been riding this train as I head into the office where I work as a reporter for a local magazine. I am one of 13 journalists who help report community news in areas that are often forgotten. And for me, that means covering areas like the one I grew up in.
Last week, as I was on the way to my office, I started wondering how neighborhoods have changed since the 2008 housing crisis. I searched addresses on the city’s southwest side, a neighborhood that has seen a significant number of residential homes pulled down, I scanned the street views recorded on my phone and saw how the neighborhood looked in 2007. Then I set out to visit the city block, and that’s when I met 3-year-old Harmony.
Harmony loved collecting rocks for me to hold as I walked down the street with her mother, Marquita. I already knew what the neighborhood looked like in the past, but Marquita shared more details of the people who once lived on her block, who were really friendly to each other. However, people today in the neighborhood are busy with life and seldom say hello to each other. Marquita has lived on this block her entire life, and Harmony has for most of her short life as well. But the neighborhood that Marquita grew up in will be one obviously different than the one Harmony will grow to know.
In the end, they smiled at my camera. And then I got back on the train and headed’back to the office to tell their stories.
