lost his left arm in a terrible car accident.The boy began lessons withan old Japanese judo master,and he was doing well.But he couldntunderstand why,after three months of training,the master had taught himonly one move.Sir,the boy finally said,shouldnt I be learning more moves?“This the only move you know,but this is the only move youll ever needto know,the master replied.Not quite understanding,but believing in his teacher,the boy kepttraining.Several months later,the master took the boy to his first tournament（锦标赛）.Surprising himself,the boy easily won his first two matches.The thirdmatchproved to be more difficult,but after some time,his opponent becameimpatient and charged；the boy skillfully used his one move to win thematch.Still amazed by his success the boy was now in the finals.This time,his opponent was bigger,stronger,and more experienced.Fora while,the boy appeared to be overmatched.Concerned that the boymight get hurt,the referee ailed a time-out,He

Christmasof 1977,and told me so.Yes,she still would like the pink-and-greenplastic umbrella,books,long nightgown,slippers-fine.But really,therewas only one thing that mattered：a Barbie Townhouse,with all theaccessories.This was a surprise.Rebecca was not a Barbie girl,preferred stuffedanimals to dolls,and wasnt drawn to play in a structured environment.Always a make-up-the-rules,design-my-own-world,do-it-my-way kid.Maybe,I thought,the point wasnt Barbie but the house,which she couldclaim,for herself,since weM already moved five times during her brieflife.Next day,I stopped at the mall.The huge Barbie Townhouse box wasthere.3 Floors of High-Styled Fun!Elevator Can Stop on All Floors!Some Assembly Required.Uh-oh.My track record for assembling thingswas miserable.Brooklyn-born,I was raised in apartment buildings in afamily that didnt build things.A few years earlier,Id spent one weekassembling a six-foot-tall jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts.I spent the first four hours sorting and the last two hours trying to figureout why there were so many pieces.The day after I finished building it,as if to remind me of my limitations,a tornado（龙卷风）touched downclose enough to scatter the jungle gym across an acre of field.I assembled the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve.Making it level,keeping the columns from looking like theyd melted and been refrozen,and getting that elevator to work were almost more than I could manage.And building it in curse-free silence so my daughter would continuesleeping if,in fact,she was sleeping-added a layer of challenge.Bydawn I was done.Shortly thereafter,my daughter walked into the living room.Her surprisemay not be real，but her delight was utterly genuine and moves me.tothis day,34 years later.Rebecca had spurred me to do something.I didntthink I could do.It was for her,andlike so much of the privilege ofbeing her farther it brought me further outside myself and let meovercome doubts about me capacities.37.In the authors eyes,his little daughter wasA.obedient B.unstableC.originalD.stubborn38.The author thought that his daughters choice of the Barbie TownhouseA.was natural for a five-year-old girlB.was influenced by her life experienceC.reflected the change in her tasteD.brought her back normal39.For the author,assembling t h i n g s.A.was largely in his blood B.was a challenge he enjoyedC.was always his weak point D.was part of his family education40.Assembling the Barbie T o w n h o u s e.A.brought out the authors potentialsB.turned out to be easier than expectedC.actually drove the author crazyD.was a bad memory for the author41.In the last paragraph the author mainly e x p r e s s e d.A.his pride in being a fatherB.B.his gratitude to his daughterC.his concern about his capabilityD.his delight in helping his daughter42.What can be learned about the relationship between the author and hisdaughter?A.They are on good terms with each other.B.They barely speak to each other.C.They are polite but cold to each other.D.They keep secrets from each other.Passage ThreeIt is all very well to blame traffic jam,the cost of petrol and the fast paceof modem life,but manners on the roads are becoming deplorable.Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel.It is all very well,again，to have a tiger in the tank,but to have one inthe drivers seat is another matter.You might tolerate the oddroad-hog（占道者），but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is theexception to the rule.Perhaps the situation calls for a Be Kind to OtherDrivers campaign,otherwise it may get completely out of hand.Road courtesy is not only good manners,but good sense too.It takes themost good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to hit back whensubjected to uncivilized behavior.A friendly nod or a wave ofacknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create anatmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem trafficconditions.But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today.Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize courtesy whenthey see it.Contrary to general opinion,young drivers have better manners than theirseniors.But this is short-lived in the world of modern driving wheremany drivers neither expect nor give any mercy.This may be encouragedon the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signalingcars to overtake when the road is clear,because many of the cars took toolong to pass.They couldnt be bothered to select a lower gear.The cardrivers,after overtaking,slowed down again and hogged the road.Again,a motoring magazine has recently drawn attention to theincreasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps.They manufacture them by force,using their direction indicators as athreat rather than a warning.Punch-ups（打群架）are quite common.Itcant be long before we hear of pistols and knives being used.Driving is essentially a state of mind.However technically skilled adriver may be,he cant be an advanced motorist if he is always arrogantand aggressive.43.The author is most concerned about.A.traffic jamB.road mannersC.fast pace of lifeD.high cost of petrol44.The word deplorable(Para.1)most probably meansA.more seriousB.more temptingC.disturbingD.noticeable45.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?.A.Many drivers tend to fight back against rude behaviors.B.A little courtesy may help ease the tensions on
