He played every down (进攻) as if it was his last. Though he had made great achievements, Terry’s memories of his playing days have been completely lost. It was in the summer of 1988 after he retired from playing that his career in sales was taking off. One day in July, Terry, on his way home from work, had a terrible car accident. He was knocked unconscious, and within minutes he was rushed to the nearby hospital. But although he was by all appearances intact (完好无损的), Terry would soon reveal an injury far more severe than whatever damage had been done to his body. A lifetime of memories had been completely wiped clean. He had been all but reduced to the level of a baby; everything from his ability to talk and walk to his understanding of what it meant to be a husband and a father was all gone. At age 44, Terry Evanshen would be starting all over again. Luckily, he had the support of his family, helped by small victories and a renewed bond between him and his three daughters, like when they taught him how to play football again. In 1992, his recovery really began to pick up steam. It has taken years to rebuild his shattered (破碎的) life, but today, more than 20 years since his playing days, Terry is a popular public speaker. He tells his story of perseverance and courage. “Never forget, we’re all in this game of life together. We will get to the finishing line, one day at a time, one moment at a time, but celebrate the journey. Seize today, because yesterday is gone and is never coming back.” As the subject of the most watched Canadian movie of 2005, The Man Who Lost Himself, Evanshen says his family has been his most important asset. He stresses that he refuses to be a victim, claiming he is a survivor. 1. What was Evanshen in 1988? A. A businessman. B. A public speaker. C. A football player. D.

He suffered a serious physical injury. D. He lost his memories and all his ability. 2. Which of the following words can be the best to describe Terry Evanshen’s story? A. Admirable. B. Inspiring. C. Rewarding. D. Imaginary. 3. What’s the best title for the text? A. Terry Evanshen’s Life B. A Great Football Player B. The Man Who Lost Himself D. What’s a Sports Person Like? B When Rebecca Saxon was diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 27, she thought her life was over. But in her darkest hour, inspiration struck and she found a way of turning her misfortune into advantage. Following her cancer treatment, Rebecca launched a successful business “Something Blue Bridal Shoes”—a unique range of wedding footwear, which came out of the fashion pictures she drew while recovering in her hospital bed. Rebecca, from London, says, “I started designing wedding shoes with blue soles (鞋底) when I was halfway through my cancer treatment. I had a hit when I was diagnosed with cancer but I decided that I was going to pick myself up and fight this cancer. The pictures were my release and the way I got through the many hours spent in a hospital room. I had no idea what was going to happen to me, but I knew I had to be positive if I was going to overcome this treatment. I told myself this was not going to be the end for me. I decided to fight with my negative feelings and start drawing.” Rebecca had always loved fashion since she was younger. Several of her friends were getting married at the time when she was ill. “So at first, I would be drawing designs for wedding dresses and other clothes. But then I started drawing wedding footwear—designing shoes with blue soles which were very comfortable too. I thought it would be a lovely way of combining the ‘something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue’ tradition. Drawing really helped me deal with my treatment,” said the brave girl. With the encouragement of her boyfriend, she turned her dreams into reality and set up “Something Blue Bridal Shoes”. Each beautiful shoe has a blue sole, combining the age-old tradition of what a bride should wear at her wedding for good luck. 4. What did Rebecca Saxon do when she was recovering in the hospital? A. Draw fashion pictures. B. Prepare for her marriage. B. Donate money to charities. D. Found a company. 5. Which of the following is TRUE about Rebecca Saxon? A. She has designed several wedding dresses for her friends. B. Drawing designs helped her fight with her negative feelings. VII.七选五 My fear of water started from childhood. It began when I was four years old and my father took me to the beach. 1 I was so scared that I kept away from water for a long time, but I still wanted to play with water. I was determined to learn swimming at the age of ten. There was a pool, at the K. P. L. B., offering the opportunity. The K. P. L. B. pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, “Hi, Skinny! How’d you like to be ducked?” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. 2  I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. 3  When I came to consciousness, I found myself on the bed in the hospital. After that, I avoided water whenever I could. 4  It prevented me from the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, I practised hard and finally he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not. Sometimes the terror would return. 5  I swam across the Lake Wentworth. Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, “Well, Mr. Terror, what do you think you can do to me?” I had conquered my fear of water. A. This went on till July. B. It seemed a long way down. C. I went back to the pool. D. I went down, down, endlessly. E. But I was not frightened out of my wits. F. This had luck stayed with me as the years rolled by. G. There the huge waves knocked me down and swept over me. 参考答案 I. 1. elected 2. enthusiastic 3. cucumber 4. upset worthwhile 6. blanket 7.
