The band plays as we move gracefully across the floor. Around and around we go, laughing and nodding to the other dancers. My father grasped my hand, smiling at me.When I was almost 3 years old, my father took me into his arms and began to dance with me around the table. My mother laughed at us, and told us dinner would get cold. But my father said: “Dinner can wait!” And then he sang out “Roll out the barrel, lefs have a barrel of ftm J I sang back: “Let's get those blues on the run.”We danced through the years. But one night when I was 15, lost in some painful, adolescent- mood, my father teased me to dance with him. "Come on J he said. "Let's get those blues on the run." I jumped out of the chair screaming: "Don't touch me! I am sick of dancing with you!” The hurt on his face did not escape me. I ran to my room sobbing.We did not dance together after that night. I found other partners, and my father waited for me after dances, sitting in his favorite chair. Sometimes I would say to him: "If you were so tired, you should have gone to bed.”"No, no J he'd say. "I was just waiting for you.”When I grew up and left home, hugs and kisses were common when my father and I visited each other. But he did not ask me to dance. I knew my father was waiting for an apology from me, and I could never find the right words.My parents5 50th anniversary approached. I decided the time had come. When the band began to play after dinner, my parents took the floor. They glided （滑彳亍）around the room. The guests applauded the golden couple. My lather was dancing with my daughters when I walked to him and in a trembling voice, I sang: "Let's get those blues on the run.”My father stood rooted to the spot. Then he bowed and said: "Yes.

After the speech, I was asked to see a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.He was Matthew. When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal weight lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles （障碍）and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain. He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, "You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I got the news that Matthew had passed away and a letter Matthew had written me a few days before:Dear Rick,My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. .The doctors tell me that I don ft have long to live any more. But I still smile as much as I can.1 told you some day I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. Bui I know now I'll never make it. Bill I know I'm a champion, and God knows that too.

Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives- the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what, our feelings really are.It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted （传送）electronically from the Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, Vm pretty sure how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read, maybe sports and international news.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresee that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.61. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get NewsB. The Changes of MediaC. Make Your Own NewspaperD. The Future of NewspaperWhat will probably be on the newspaper made by yourself?A. what you are interested inB. a menu of all the newsC. the most important newsD. sports and international newsFrom the passage, we can infer.A. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB. newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC. television will take the place of newspaperD. the writer believes some media will die outThe word "feed off' in the last paragraph means.A. depend on B. live on C. fight with D. kill offDOur listener question this week comes from Abdullahi Farah, who wants to know about the life and work of Doctor Benjamin Carson.Doctor Carson is an internationally recognized doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He has been the director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the hospital for twenty-five years. At the age of thirty-three, he became one of the youngest doctors in the United States to hold that position.
