In a few hours Sam would be flying to Germany. We looked at each other but no sound broke the silence of my beach-side house.
Such a moment was not the first time for me. On Sam’s first day of kindergarten (幼儿园), I felt his stress when holding his hand. He looked at me--as he did now. But I said nothing till the school bus came. About ten years later, I drove him to the college. He was sick but I didn’t know then. I thought he was just too tired. I tried to think of something to say as he would start a new period of life. Again, ________.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those opportunities we parents all let pass. A boy graduates from school, a daughter gets married. We seldom find a quiet moment to tell them what they have meant to us, or what they might face in the future.
Sam was weak when he was born but grew into a strong boy. Then he became the best baseball player in high school. His finest moment came when he got the first prize at a science fair. I was sorry he gave up his athletic talent, but proud that later he chose English literature. One day, I told Sam I regretted never traveling abroad to know better about the world before working. Sam decided to learn German in Berlin, even though his friends thought it was meaningless.
The night before he was to leave, I failed to say any words again. Maybe, I thought, it wasn’t necessary to say anything.
What does it matter if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him But as I stood before Sam, I knew it does matter. My father and I loved each other, However, I always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words.
“Sam,” I said, “if I could have picked, I would have picked you.” I wasn’t sure he understood what I meant. Sam came towards me and threw his arms around me, saying “thank you”. My eyes misted over(模糊). Then, the moment ended, and Sam left home.
That was seven weeks ago, and now I think about him when I walk along the beach near my home on weekends. Thousands of miles away, Sam might be busy walking on the street of Berlin.
What I had said to Sam was not new. It was nothing. But, it was everything.
(adapted from Words from a Father)
( )4.Which of the following can be put at the end of Paragraph 2
A. I failed to say a word. B. his illness worried me
C. I decided to go abroad D. his growth satisfied me
( )5. When Sam heard “if I could have picked, I would have picked you.”, he might feel _________.
A. stressed B. sad C. calm D. excited
( )6. What does the writer mean by writing the last sentence “But, it was everything.”
A. A father should care about his son’s education. B. A father should express deep love to his son.
C. A son should take his father’s suggestion. D. A son should respect his father’s decision.
C
Race walking shares many fitness advantages with running, while causes fewer injuries (伤害), research shows. It does, however, have its own problem.
Racewalkers are conditioned athletes. The longest event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometre race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
8 . According to most calculations (计算), race walkers moving at a speed of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories (卡路里) per hour. Although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour, it is about twice as many as walking would burn.
However, race walking does not hit the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result, she says, some of the injuries connected with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place lots of stress on the ankles (脚踝) and hips (臀部), so people with a history of such injuries might want to be careful when trying the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first turn to a coach or experienced racer to learn proper skills, she says. It takes some practice.
( )7.The writing purpose of this passage is _____________.
A. to introduce a form of exercise B. to encourage people to try race walking
C. to compare race walking with running D. to tell people the advantages of race walking
( )8.Which of the following would be most suitable for 8
A. Compared with running, race walking is more popular.
B. Like running, race walking requires physical strength (体力).
C. Race walking requires more physical strength than running.
D. Race walking is a popular way of exercise, like walking and running.
( )9. We can learn about race walking from the passage
A. It is a perfect form of exercise for everyone to try. B. It will take the place of running in the future.
C. It is a sport that requires certain special skills. D. It is much safer than running and walking.

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the rabbit and the tortoise (乌龟). At the end I said. “Son, remember: Slow and steady (稳固的) wins the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise ”
Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m taking part in the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy and Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway ”
I was surprised, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the rabbit would fall asleep on the way!”
“He must have wished that,” Sonny said. “Otherwise how could he be so stupid(愚蠢的) as to race with the rabbit He knew very well the rabbit ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”
“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted(坚持), “He won the race by perseverance(坚持), by pushing on steadily.”
Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the rabbit didn’t happen to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”
