When I recently revealed to my friends,colleagues,and family members that I would be moving my family to Israel,the reactions were numerous and varied.Some people said it was an expected thing while others asked:Why now?What will you do?
For me,making the move to Israel is the fulfillment of a dream that has lasted for my 47 years of life.I have always known that Israel is my home.Over the years Israel has been in my heart,but I have found a number of reasons to put off making it my permanent residence:kids,the economy,education…you name an excuse,and at some point I have probably used it.
Truthfully,I believe that I was always just a little bit scared.And of course I still am,with the fear factor that is reported by the press surrounding the Israeli military and economy.However,it has come to the point when I have realized that for over 2000 years we have longed for this land,and that for 47 years I have denied the opportunity to make it my home.I am finally ready to fully grasp this opportunity.
Over the years,I have always loved visiting Israel.I have traveled there with my family,and enjoyed introducing thousands of travelers to the country.I have come to love all of these things about Israel as a tourist because I get to love my home.And as far as waiting for the "perfect" condition under which to make a decision,I believe the time is now!
I have been asked many times if I am nervous about moving to Israel.Before I answer,I remember that we have overcome the Greeks,the Romans,the Russian killings,Hitler and the Holocaust(大屠殺),and the armies of seven countries.
How can I not feel confident that I,and my family,will overcome any difficulty that may come our way?I am not worrying,complaining,crying,or fearing.I am proud and excited to say that I am fulfilling a 47-year-old dream:I am going home.

1.For several days Ⅰ(Jane Eyre) saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening,I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips,and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him,he suddenly turned around and asked me, "Do you think I'm handsome,Miss Eyre?"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: "No,sir."
"Ah,you are really unusual!You look like a quiet,serious little person,but you can be almost rude."
"Sir,I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances;I should have said that beauty doesn't matter,or something like that."
"No,you shouldn't!I see,you criticize my appearance,and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance(抵消) your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind,and said quickly, "Yes,you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one,and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you,and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man,take my word for it,but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character,but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this?Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to,because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me,Miss Eyre," he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much,perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me,and laugh,and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage,you'll fly very high.Good night."
(1)Why did Mr.Rochester say "and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear" in paragraph 5?
A.Because Jane had offered some unnecessary explanations.
B.Because Jane had intended to be more critical.
C.Because Jane had regretted having talked to him.
D.Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife.
(2)From what Mr.Rochester told Miss Eyre,we can conclude that he wanted to
A.tell her all his troubles
B.tell her his life experience
C.change her opinion of him
D.change his circumstances
(3)Mr.Rochester sounded

3.To me,life without music would not be exciting.I realize that this is not true for everybody.Many people get along quite well without going to the concert,and listening to the record.But music plays an important part in everyone's life,whether he realizes it or not.Try to imagine,for example,what films or TV plays would be like without music.Would the feelings,the moving plot,and the greatest interests,be so exciting or dramatic?I'm not sure about it.
Now,we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall.But if we look at some parts of music more closely,we discover them in our everyday life too----in the rhythm of the sea,the melody of a bird in the woods and so on.So music surely has meaning for everyone,in some way or other.And,of course,it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, "Through music a child enters into a world of beauty,expresses himself from his heart,feels the joy of doing things alone,learns to take care of others,develops his mind and makes his body strong."
(1)What does the writer say more about in the text?
A.Life full of music.
B.The importance of music.
C.Life without music.
D.The development of music.
(2)From the text,we learn that many people
A.go to the concert instead of enjoying music
B.get along quite well without music
C.don't realize the importance of music
D.think music would be less exciting than films
(3)What does the underlined word "melody" mean in the text?
A.flying
B.living
C.looking
D.singing
(4)From the last paragraph,we learn that music
A.is very necessary for our everyday life
B.is very important,especially for children
C.can make our life exciting and dramatic
D.can enter another beautiful world發(fā)布:2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷:6引用:3難度:0.6
