Nick Santonastasso has one arm equipped with one finger. He has no legs. He also has no limitations(局限).
“ I know anything’s possible ,” the 12-year-old told TODAY ’s Ann Curry.
He can play baseball and football, play the keyboard and drums, and play video games with his brothers.
When Nick was born, he suffered a disease only found in 11 other people. The Santonastassos had three other children, and they decided to treat Nick the same as others, with love but without excuse
“ We’re supposed to be heroes to our children, but Nick is a hero to us,” his father Michael said. But heroes have heroes, too, and Nick’s is Tiki Barber, the former football superstar who retired last year and became a reporter for TODAY. Curry told Nick that for his birthday, the show wanted to give him a new skateboard. The person who presented it to him was Barber.
“ You’re an inspiration,” Barber said. “ There are a lot of kids who might be at a disadvantage.
You give them strength.”
Curry observed that most parents try to protect their kids from failure, but the Santonastassos didn’t do that with Nick.
“Absolutely not, “Nick’s mother Stacey said. “ If you do have a small failure, it just makes you stronger to succeed at the next stop.”
“ It builds self-confidence in yourself to try it again,” Nick added.
Recently, Nick entered a drawing in a statewide contest in New Jersey. His drawing was a tree with a spreading canopy (樹(shù)冠) and deep toots. Above the tree were the words, “The roots of a family are…” Below the ground, the roots spelled out the final word for the message: “ Love.”
It won the contest. The judges didn’t know Nick’ physical condition. He won on merit (成績(jī)), the same way he does everything else in life.

There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time set aside for fun. And the best part is that these are the kind of memories a child will remember for a lifetime.
Family game night
Find out any of the games that are already around the house. Kids often get computer games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family. Or, make up some games of your own. “Charades” is a fun game to play that will challenge a child to use his/her imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words that the other has to act out.
________________________
Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own masterpiece. It doesn't need to be just a drawing -- take some old magazines sitting around the house, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own montage. Or, use items from nature. Let them use leaves, pine cones, twigs and whatever else they can find to create something from their imaginations.
Family Picnic
Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn't cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let the kids have a day of playing. Or, if it is the middle of winter and a foot of snow is on the ground, set up a picnic in the living room.
Family Field Trip
A family field trip doesn't have to cost a dime. Ask a nearby farm if it would be alright to bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park and make a scavenger hunt where they need to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work -- you might be surprised at the number of people who would be thrilled to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for the kids.
【小題1】We can learn from the passage that “charades” ________.

A.is a computer game
B.is too difficult for children
C.involves acting out words
D.should be played by more than four people

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2013屆遼寧省沈陽(yáng)二中等重點(diǎn)中學(xué)協(xié)作體高三領(lǐng)航高考預(yù)測(cè)(十)英語(yǔ)試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解

We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck.
At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said: "Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last."
After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted: "Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck."
My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say: "Here is a chance to show Holly what you really love. She’ll never forget it."
The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van (搬運(yùn)車(chē)). In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal. Holly was unhurt physically, but when I reached her, she was crying and saying: "Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck." I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened (濕潤(rùn)) and she said: "That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me."
Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of that night.
I remember how sad Holly was and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know what really matters in my life.
【小題1】How did the crash happen?

A.The van was parked in the wrong place that evening.
B.Holly stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brakes.
C.The brakes of the truck didn’t work properly.
D.Holly was too careless and young to drive a truck.
【小題2】Why didn’t the writer punish Holly?
A.He was so rich that he didn’t care about losing one truck.
B.He thought there was no point punishing her after the accident.
C.He believed the truck was made of metal and of poor quality.
D.He wanted Holly to know he loved her more than any possessions.
【小題3】What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.She still suffered physical pain.
B.She felt guilty of damaging the car.
C.It left a deep wound on her soul.
D.She was not forgiven by her Dad.
【小題4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.What really matters?
B.Better to forgive and forget
C.Who is to blame?
D.Accidents will happen

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2012-2013學(xué)年河南安陽(yáng)一中高二下期第二次階段測(cè)試英語(yǔ)卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解

From the beginning of human history, wild animals provided food, clothing and sometimes medicine. We may not depend so much on wild animals now. But we hear about them every day. Americans use the names of animals in many ways. Automobile manufacturers (制造商) and gasoline companies especially like to use big cats to sell their products. They like lions, tigers and wildcats. When Americans say wildcat, they usually mean a lynx, an ocelot or a bobcat. All these cats attack quickly and fiercely. So wildcats represent something fast and fierce.
An early American use of the word wildcat was quite different. It was used to describe members of Congress who declared war on Britain in 1812. A magazine of that year said the wildcat congressmen went home. It said they were unable to face the responsibility of having involved their country in an unnecessary war.
Wildcat also has been used as a name for money. At that time, some states permitted banks to make their own money. One bank in the state of Michigan offered paper money with a picture of a wildcat on it. Some banks, however, did not have enough gold to support all the paper money they offered. So the money had little or no value. It was called a wildcat bill or a wildcat bank note.
The banks which offered this money were called wildcat banks. A newspaper of the time said those were the days of wildcat money. It said a man might be rich in the morning and poor by night.
Wildcat then was used for an oil well or gold mine that had almost no oil or gold in it. Dishonest developers would buy such property. Then they would sell it and leave town with the money. The buyers were left with worthless holes in the ground. Today, wildcat oil wells are in areas that are not known to have oil.
【小題1】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Wildcats and their stories. B.Wildcats and their characters.
C.Varieties of animal species.D.Relationship between animals and humans.
【小題2】From the passage we can know that ______.
A.wildcats represent the state of Michigan.
B.the use of wildcats was not always the same
C.wildcats are the best friend of human beings
D.honest developers never buy wildcat oil wells
【小題3】The underlined words “a lynx, an ocelot or a bobcat”in Paragraph 1 may refer to ______.
A.gasoline companiesB.a(chǎn)utomobile manufacturers
C.names of wildcatsD.brands of automobile
【小題4】It can be inferred that during the days of wildcat money ______.
A.people couldn’t buy anything with the money
B.people didn’t know how to save money
C.the rich invested too much on oil wells
D.people complained and suffered a lot

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2013-2014學(xué)年吉林省九校聯(lián)合體高三第二次摸底考試英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

According to the US Geological Survey, about seven million earthquakes strike worldwide every year—but fortunately, only about 1500 of these are of a magnitude(震級(jí)) of 5 or greater on the Richter scale. Certain areas, such as California and Japan, are more prone to earthquakes than others. Although the chance of being caught in “The Big one” is remote, it’s wise to be prepared if you live in a region where earthquakes are common.

Educate your family about earthquakes before a big one strikes. For example, they need to know to take shelter in a doorway or under a strong object if indoors, and never to run outdoors if they are inside. If outside, they need to know to stay away from power lines and buildings where objects could fall.

Teach family members how to turn off gas or water lines or electrical power that may need to be shut off after a quake if severe damage occurs.

Develop a plan. Where will your family meet in the event of a disaster? What if some people are at work or school? How will you know if they are safe? Where will you all meet up?

Pack a preparedness kit(衣物裝備) and keep it in a safe location. In a major earthquake, it’s possible that you won’t be able to get into your house. Keep supplies in your car trunk or an outside storage shed if possible. Pack whatever your family is likely to need, enough for three days to a week, including food, water, medication, first aid and personal hygiene supplies, flashlights, a portable radio, blankets, clothes and shoes, cash, or camp stove, candles, matches or lighters, and a whistle.

Consider earthquake insurance for your home if you live in an earthquake-prone area. Regular homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover earthquake damage.

1.The underlined words “prone to ” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by___________.

A. likely to suffer                 B. frequent to explore 

C. regular to measure              D. impossible to experience

2.According to the passage, if you are outside in an earthquake, you should_________.

A. stay where you are             B. hide under a big tree 

C. avoid power lines              D. sit on the ground

3. We can learn from the passage that_________.

A. about 1,500 earthquakes happen every year

B. people should store some clothes in their houses in advance

C. family members should meet in their home after an earthquake

D. people suffering earthquakes often should buy earthquake insurance

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. How to Keep Safe in an Earthquake

B. How to Prepare for an Earthquake

C. Who Can Help Us After an Earthquake?

D. Where Is an Earthquake-prone Area?
