（A）
In 1989, an 8.2 earthquake almost destroyed America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. A
father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that
the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the unforgettable scare, he remembered the promise he had made to his son, “No matter what happens,
I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the
school, it looked hopeless but he kept remembering his promise to his son.
Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and
started digging through the ruins. As he was digging, other helpless parents tried to pull him off what was left of the
school, saying, “It’s too late! They’re all dead! You can’t help! Go home! Come on! Face reality. There’s nothing
you can do!”
To each parent he replied with one line, “Are you going to help me now?” And then he continued to dig for his
son, stone by stone. The firefighter leader showed up and tried to pull him off the ruins, saying, “Fires are breaking
out. Explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Go home.” This loving father
asked, “Are you going to help me now?” The police came and said, “You’re angry, worried and it’s over. You are
making others in danger. Go home. We’ll handle it!” He replied, “Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.
He went on alone because he needed to know for himself, “Is my boy alive or is he dead?” He dug for eight
hours…12 hours…24 hours…36 hours…then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son’s
voice. He screamed his son’s name, “Armand!” He heard back, “Dad? It’s me, Dad! I told the other children not to
worry. I told them that if you were alive, you would save me and when you saved me, they’d be saved. You
promised, no matter what happens, you will always be there for me! You did it, Dad!” “What’s going on there?
How is it?” the father asked. “There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We’re scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful
you’re here. When the building fell down, it made a triangle, and it saved us.”
“Come out, boy!” “No, Dad! Let the other kids out first because I know you’ll get me! No matter what
happens, I know you’ll always be there for me!”

A. The leader didn’t need the father’s help.
B. The leader thought it was too late and all kids were dead.
C. The father asked others to help and made more people in danger.

Pearl S. Buck was the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. She wrote more than

world. But it was Pearl S. Buck’s next book—The Good Earth that made her famous and brought her the money
she needed. And it became the best-selling book in the United States in 1931 and 1932. Pearl S. Buck won the
Pulitzer Prize. The next year, Pearl S. Buck was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

When students complete a book， they consider the job of reading done. When they are asked what they have got
from the book， quite a few of them can give you some information about the plot(情节). But if we ask them more
detailed questions， they have nothing to say. In fact， that is not what a good reader is supposed to do.
To be a good reader， firstly， is to know the background. We need knowledge of the life story of the writer，
the culture and society in which the story takes place， Otherwise， it is hardly possible for us to better
understand the book or come to realize the theme.
Then， we start to read the book. A good reader will not stop since he has already made a good preparation. He
goes through the whole book to get the general idea of it instead of reading ___35___
Next comes an important step一read the book once again and write annotations(注释) when there is something
impresses us deeply. It helps us get close to the mind of the writer. Many students underestimate(低估)the
importance of writing annotations. They say that they also can understand the writer although they do not write
annotations. It is true that it brings us some trouble of writing， but it also gives us a lot of ideas of our own at the
same time.
Finally， a good reader needs to write a book report. It is a time when we can sum up all our thoughts and turn
them into a report. We start to think of the characters， the plots and the theme. Some say it is boring but in fact it
is fun if we do it. Producing something of our own is really wonderful because we are on our way to be better than
