It not only meant Dad was home, but we could also do one of my favorite things, a “go-round”. This meant that Dad and I would hold hands and walk around the house examining all the trees, new bushes and plants in the garden. This was our special time together and it always made me feel close to him.I now have my own big backyard with beautiful plantings and gardens, and I hold my kids hands and say, “Lets do a go-round.” And when my dad stops by, we still do a go-round together.Risa, 40, Nanuet, New YorkMy Dad was normally good-tempered(好脾气的), but once he turned into Superman. My friends and I were amusing ourselves outside a laundry one day when I was nine. A truck stopped nearby. When I was playing inside the truck, suddenly the driver appeared. No one said anything, and he didnt see me. So he shut the door and took off. My best friend ran alongside the truck. When it passed my parents restaurant,heran in and said, “Henrys in the truck!”Dad, fearing Id been kidnapped (诱拐), raced out of the restaurant, jumped onto the running board of the moving vehicle, and shouted to the driver through the open window, “Stop the truck!”My friend quickly explained what had happened. The driver, shaken, opened the back door and there I was. Superman quickly became Dad again, too relieved to be mad.Henry, 64, New York, New York54. What was Risas attitude toward the “go-round” when she was young?A. She tried to avoid it.B. She looked forward to it.C. She needed it sometimes.D. She showed little interest in it.55. Compared with the experience described by Henry, Risas experience was_.A. complexB. funnyC. peacefulD. shocking56. What does the underlined word “he” refer to?A. The driverB. The authorC. Henrys best friendD. Henrys fatherCWhen my son was 11 years old, he got a small jobhelping out with a traveling carnival(嘉年华) in our town. He didnt come home at lunch time, calling to tell me he was fine and had found a few days work helping out at an exhibit(展示会). He come home for supper as usual after he finished work.He told me he had made some new friends at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had paid him a few dollars and invited him for lunch in return for helping them set up their exhibit and wanted him to return the next day to help with other chores .I was glad he had found new friends and asked him about the people there. “Oh, Mom, they are just normal people like anyone else. They just work at a carnival instead of in a store or something. You can come along tomorrow and meet them yourself,” he said.So the next day I went to the carnival and to the exhibit. The twin brothers turned out to be Siamese(连体的) twins, joined at the chest. I mentioned it to him, he said, “Yes, I noticed that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes because its so difficult to find anything to fit them? Theyre also really good cooks. Today, Joe, the one on the right, made me spaghetti for lunch.”What others see first in a person is not what a child considers important. Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. It is a lesson I have thought about many times over the years.57.

We went to Venice Beach to clean up the trash.At first glance, the beach didnt look dirty at all. But then I saw a Styrofoam(泡沫) cup half buried in the sand on the beach. I pulled hard and finally got it out. As we moved farther, we found pieces of Styrofoam spread all over the sand. Sea animals eat the plastic. After eating it, they think they are full. As a result, they can die ofstarvationas they are cheated by their feeling and dont think they need to eat any food. We kept on picking up the trash. Then I saw someone with a full Heal the Bay trash bag and I went to see what was inside. When I opened the trash bag, I found everything from a pair of old jeans and a brown belt to headphones and some plastic bags. It made me very angry with the people who left their things behind without thinking what effects they might have on the ocean. By noon, the sun was shining and the temperature was rising. The volunteers that had spread out across Venice Beach were coming back to throw the trash they had collected into the truck. I could not believe how much trash there was. All together we collected more than 135 bags of trash. I do hope that next time people
