三、阅读理解 (共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分)
A
Last week, I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked me if he could pray (祈祷). As we bowed our heads, he said, “God is good. God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Mom gets us ice cream. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!”
Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman saying, “That’s what’s wrong with this country. Kids today even don’t know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why? I never!”
Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, “Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?”
As I told him that he had done a good job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman came to the table. He said, “I happen to know that God thought you were a great prayer.”
“Really?” my son asked.
“I’m sure,” the man replied.
Then he added, “The woman never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul (心灵) sometimes.”
Naturally, I bought my kids ice creams at the end of the meal. My son stared at it for a moment, and then did something I will never forget for the rest of my life. He picked up his ice cream and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, “Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is good already.”
36. The woman thought that ______.

Our cat has a sweet nature, and she can let us know what she wants. When we fail to meet her needs, she gently leads us in the proper direction. When I forget to fill her water bowl early in the morning, she runs after my legs, and then pushes me in the direction of her bowl. She doesn’t get irritated (生气的); instead, she expresses her wishes in the best way. And I always understand what she is telling me.
One day I found myself envying (羡慕) her simple expression. How many times had I expected my husband or my children to know my wants without my ever giving voice to them? How many times had I been disappointed that they couldn’t understand when I needed a hug, a compliment (恭维) or a chocolate bar?
After a pleasant afternoon with my husband, I wanted to stop somewhere nice and have dinner, but he didn’t understand my hints (暗示). “Couldn’t you see that I wanted to go out to dinner?” I complained when he pulled into our driveway.
“Why didn’t you say so? I can’t read your mind,” he answered in impatience. His words gave me pause. Had I expected him to read my mind? Why hadn’t I expressed my desire more clearly? I realized I had fallen into the female trap of “If you love me, you can read my mind.”
Now, I state my needs clearly and directly. I look at my cat and know she agrees.

Mother Teresa, whose name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, was born on August 26th, 1910 in Skopje, Macedonia. She always wrote her birthday as 27th of August because it was the day of her baptism (洗礼), which was always more important to her than her birthday. For her work with the poor around the world, she received the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize.
In 1928, she accepted a religious order and took the name Teresa. The order immediately sent her to India. A few years later, she began teaching in Calcutta. In 1948 the Catholic (天主教的) Church agreed her request and let her enter the convent (女修道院) and she began to work for the poor people. She became an Indian citizen in the following year. In 1950, she set up a religious organization in Calcutta. The organization provided food for the poor people and then she set up hospitals, schools, youth centers, and homes for the sick and the dying poor. It now has branches in 50 Indian cities and 30 other countries.
Besides the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa has received other awards for her work with the poor people.
On September 5th, 1997, Mother Teresa passed away, but she will continue to inspire people all over the world through her lasting present of love and faith. Mother Teresa often reminded the world that she was a nun (修女), not a social worker, and that prayer and communication with God were at the deepest heart of her every action.

If your clothes don’t match, someone might laugh at you about being color-blind. It doesn’t mean you can’t see any color at all, like a black and white movie. It means that you have trouble in seeing the difference between certain colors.
Being color-blind can make it tricky to match your shirt and pants, but it’s not a serious problem. People who are color-blind can do normal things, even drive. Most color-blind people can’t tell the difference between red and green, but they can learn to respond to traffic signals. The red light is generally on top and green is at the bottom.
To understand what causes color blindness, you need to know about the cones (锥体) in your eyes. You have “red,” “blue,” and “green” cones, which are sensitive to those colors and combinations (组合) of them. When your cones don’t work the right way, your brain doesn’t get the right message about which colors you’re seeing.
Color blindness is almost always an inherited trait (遗传特征)
