2."Dad,"I say one day …..take a trip.Why don't you fly and meet me?"
  My father had just retired…..His job filled his day,his thought,his life.While he woke up and took a warm shower,I screamed under a freezing waterfall Peru.While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch,I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
  My father sees me drfting aimlessly,nothing to show for my 33years but a passport full of funny stamps.He wants me to settle down,but now I want him to find an adventure.
  He agrees to travel with me through the national parks.We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
"What is our first stop?"asks my father.
"What time is it?"
"Still don't have a watch?"
  Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore.As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite      ,his mouth and eyes open slowly,like those of little boy.
"Unbelievable,"he says,"How was this done?"
  A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
  We stare up and I ask myself,Would I ever devote my life to anything?
  No directions,…I always used to hear those words in my father's voice.Now I hear them in my own.
  The next day we're at Yellowstone National Park,where we have a picnic.
"Did you ever travel with your dad?I ask.
"Only once,"he says."I never spoke much with my father.We loved each other---but never said it.Whatever he could give me,he gave.">
  The kast sebtebce----it's probably the same thing I's say about my father.And what I'd want my child to say about me.
  In Glacier National Park,my father says,"I've never seen water so blue."I have,in several places of the world,I can keep traveling,I realize---and maybe a regular job won't be as dull as I feared.
  Weeks after our trip,I call my father.
"The photos from the trip are wonderful,"he says."We have got to take another trip like that sometime."
  I tell him I've learn decided to settle down,and I'm wearing a watch.

10.It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore.Needless to say,it was too hot to do anything outside.But it was also scorching in our apartment.This was 1962,and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years.So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors.He suggested we could see a movie.It was a brilliant plan.
Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and-most important-sit in air conditioning.In those days,you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies.Then,the theater would show the same two movies again.If you wanted to,you could sit through them twice.Most people did not do that,but the manager at our theater.Mr.Bellow did not mind if you did.
That particular day,my brother and I sat through both movies twice,trying to escape the heat.We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each.Then,we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.We'd already seen the second movie once before.It had been at the theater since January,because Mr.Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.
We left the theater around 8,just before the evening shows began.But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again,twice more.And we did it the next day too.Finally,on the fourth day,the heat wave broke.
Still,to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart's dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance!Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962.They're really memories of the screen,not memories of my life.

46.In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner?C
A.1952      B.1962     C.1972   D.1982
47.What does the underlined word"It"in Paragraph 3refer to?D
A.The heat           B.The theater.
C.The Music Man      D.The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
48.What do we know about Mr.Bellow?B
A.He loved children very much.       B.He was a fan of John Wayne.
C.He sold air conditioners.          D.He was a movie star.
49.Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times?B

B.They wanted to avoid the heat outside.
C.The manager of the theater was friendly.
D.They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.

B.The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.

14.One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual.In 1879,Oxford University in England asked Prof.James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language.It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used.
This was a huge task,so Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain,the United States,and the British colonies to search every newspaper,magazine,and book ever written in English.Hundreds of volunteers responded,including William Chester Minor.Dr.Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England.He gave his address as"Broadmoor,Crowthorne,Berkshire,""50 miles from Oxford.
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray.Over the next 17 years,he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.
But he was also a mystery.In spite of many invitations,he would always decline to visit Oxford.So in 1897,Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself.When he arrived,he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院) for the Criminally insane.
Murray and Minor became friends,sharing their love of words.Minor continued contributing to the dictionary,sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years.Murray continued to visit Minor regularly,sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.
In 1910,Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America.Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
Minor died in 1920,seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed.The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words,and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.
