It was Sunday，so Dad and I were at the secondhand goods market，looking for tools，appliances （家用電器），and other things that needed cleaning.Some were broken；others，like silver cups，just needed to be cleaned and polished.It was 1974，and the depression （經濟衰退） was very serious.Dad worked full-time at a factory，but the money wasn't enough.Dad had tried a second job for a while，hut he found it was too hard on the family.One day，he had an excellent idea that set me on a lifelong course of making money to support myself.Standing beside a crowded table at the second-hand goods market，I looked over an ancient manual sewing machine.Someone had changed it to run on electric power.It was much older than Mom's machine，but it looked like it had quality and a long life built into it. "Dad!" I called. "This is a beauty!"
   Dad walked over，pulling a cart full of audio equipment，tools，worn-out appliances，and what appeared to be a block of dull kitchen knives. "What have you got，Son？" I described what I saw and what I figured I could do to fix the beauty up.Dad paid for my discovery，and we headed home.
   Every day after school I worked on the ancient machine，and every night Dad and I sharpened tools and knives，polished metal，and replaced missing parts from various items.The next Sunday we headed off，as we did every weekend，to that same market，where we sold the treasures we'd purchased the week before - at a tidy profit.My antique beauty brought in more money than anything else，and Dad let me keep every penny.
   Dad has gone now，but I can never thank him enough.Even if we hadn't needed the extra money Dad and I brought in，I wouldn't have traded those weekends for all the picnics or Little League games in St.Louis - not in a million years.

2．As I got into the plane flying to Boston last week and saw what row I was sitting in，I could see a mother sitting in the first seat and in the middle was a little girl，2 or 3 I'm guessing，put into a car seat.As I looked at the mother，I could sense her nervousness-likely worried as to who would be sitting next to her daughter and what the reaction would be.
   Once I sat down，I could see why she was worried.The small child was handicapped and struggled to perform many of the functions the rest of us take for granted.Her eyes seemed to wonder，her arms would occasionally wave about，and she appeared to be a child dumb as well.
   But in spite of all of this，she was a beautiful little girl with a magical smile.And when I looked at her and smiled，she would return the favor.
   After a while，she started grabbing my arm so as to hold it.Her mother would quickly ask her to stop and at first I acted like I didn't notice.About the 4th time the little girl grabbed my arm with her small hand and the mother began to ask her to stop，I gave her a simple look of confidence and told her everything was OK，and that as a father of four little ones myself，it was nice to have someone the same age of my youngest，sitting next to me.
   The mother seemed relieved and for the rest of the 90-minute flight，I felt a little hand across my forearm.Once again，gratitude filled my heart as thoughts and reflections on my own life，health，and children flooded my mind.

（1）Why did the mother look nervous？

A．When the mother told him about the child.

D．When the child failed to do usual behavior.
（3）What's the author's attitude towards the child？

B．Negative.
C．Doubtful.
D．Indifferent.

3．After years of heated debate，gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park.Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park.
   By last year，the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States，but they were gradually displaced by human development.By the 1920s，wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area.They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada，where there were fewer humans around.
   The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results.Deer and elk populations — major food sources（來源） for the wolf - grew rapidly.These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation（植被），which reduced plant diversity in the park.In the absence of wolves，coyote populations also grew quickly.The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park' s red foxes，and completely drove away the park's beavers.
   As early as 1966，biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
   The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves.The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today，the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk，deer，and coyote populations are down，while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.

（1）What is the text mainly about？

A．Wildlife research in the United States.
B．Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C．The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D．The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
（2）What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean？

A．Tested.
B．Separated.
C．Forced out.
D．Tracked down.
（3）What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about？

A．Damage to local ecology.
B．A decline in the park's income.
C．Preservation of vegetation.
D．An increase in the variety of animals.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？

A．Doubtful.
B．Positive.
C．Disapproving.
D．Uncaring.
