After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I

would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One

day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?

That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included

an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish

the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What’s

worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into

inky pools.

However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices (电子设备) like kids

do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part-time, cleaned the

house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up

in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those

glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.

In my room, Mom’s voice raced with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus

on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When

the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for

having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also

made me curious about other people’s challenges and how they managed. Though I

could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.

True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing

now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious (珍贵的) gift from a mother to her

child.

4. Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from

hospital?

A. They all wanted to have a good rest. B. The author didn’t do well in the exam.

C. What the doctor said made them worried. D. They focused on the scenery along the

road.

5. How did the author manage to get high marks?

A. By being confident. B. By reading as many books as possible.

C. By getting help from his classmates. D. By listening carefully.

6. We can learn from the text that ________.

A. the author’s sight recovered finally B. reading made the author more sensitive

C. the author’s mother didn’t work to look after him

D. reading made the author not worry about his sight

7. Which of the following could be the best title of the text?

A. My eyesight trouble B. An unforgettable experience

C. With ears wide open D. About Mother’s love

Tony Burke，Australia's environment minister ，says he won't decide until next year

whether the koala should be protected as an endangered species. He was expected to

make his decision by the end of October.But that decision has been put off. Burke said

he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala's population.

In September, an Australian Senate committee reported that there was no question the

koala's population is on the decrease.“But they may not yet be eligible(符合条件的)for

listing as a threatened species,” said Senator Doug Cameron.“To have such a significant

Australian icon( 偶像 )included on the threatened species list would be a national

shame.”

The koala is found only in the eucalyptus(桉树)forests of Australia.And its population

is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons, including the cutting down of

forests to make way for human beings' development ，their own illness ，climate

change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs.And every year many koalas are

hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads.

Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news,” said Debbie

Pointing, the president of the Koala Action Group .“We've worked tirelessly for many

years to gather data on the populations,” Pointing said.“That data should be enough to

make a decision.”

However, Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3

million on koala conservation efforts since 1996. Senators listed efforts that are already

underway in Queensland －the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences

along roads, to keep the animals out of harm's way.

Some people say that is not enough.“What we're doing at the moment is likely to drive

this species to extinction,” Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.

“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal ， ” Burke told Australians.“They hold a

special place in the hearts of Australians.”

But it is a fact that if more isn't done to protect the koala, they might soon hold a place

only in Australians' memories.

8.Tony Burke put off announcing the koala as an endangered species because

________．

A. he needed more time to examine the latest information

B. he doubted whether koalas' number is decreasing

C. he was thinking about ways to protect koalas

D. he had more important issues to deal with

9.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. The habitat of the koala. B. Australia's traffic problems.

C. The importance of koalas for Australians.

D. Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.

10.It can be learned from the text that Tony Burke ________．

A. thought the government has done much for koalas

B. thought we needn’t take care of the koala

C. decided to construct more fences along roads D. was optimistic about the koala's

future

11.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is endangered.

B. Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.

C. The population of koalas is reducing rapidly. D. Australians are concerned about

koalas.
