I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused．"Yes．" "Well, this is Jimmy Calkins．"
“And I want you to know that I did it?” Paused．“I knew it!” he yelled back．We had a good laugh and a 51 discussion．His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 52 your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it 53 all these years．I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to 54 all the items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to 55 the past wrongdoings．

I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had 36 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was 37 and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could 38 afford a dream.
My dream was to be a 39 .When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball. I was also 40 : my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who 41 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular 42 with him changed my life forever.
It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 43 . This meant a chance for my first income—cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 44 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 45 at it.
Then I realized I would have to 46 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was 47 about this.
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 48 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your 49 days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”
I stood before him with my head 50 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth 51 his disappointment in me.
“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded.
“$ 3．25 an hour,” I replied.
“Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a 52 ?” he asked.
That 53 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to 54 that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the 55 of my dreams.

科目：高中英語 來源：2014屆遼寧省高二第二次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解
I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke(喚起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “l(fā)imited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions (認(rèn)識(shí)) of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “l(fā)imited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly, her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(內(nèi)在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
1.By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that .
|
A．she uses English in foreign trade |
|
B．she is fascinated by languages |
|
C．she works as a translator |
|
D．she is a writer by profession |
2.The author used to think of her mother’s English as .
|
A．impolite |
B．a(chǎn)musing |
C．imperfect |
D．practical |
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
|
A．Americans do not understand broken English. |
|
B．The author’s mother was not respected sometimes. |
|
C．The author’s mother had positive influence on her. |
|
D．Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts. |
4.What is the passage mainly about?
|
A．The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English. |
|
B．The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother. |
|
C．The author’s misunderstanding of “l(fā)imited” English. |
|
D．The author’s experiences of using broken English. |
