I named Tom after my uncle when I compared Tom's long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Tom at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle(咯咯笑)escaped his lips. I guessed he didn't understand how important it was to me.
Even if Uncle Tom didn't think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Tom was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne(科隆香水)I used on him years ago made him still smell" pretty".
For a long time, Tom went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.
It took me several years to realize that it was Ok to miss Tom. I know now that maturity (成熟)doesn't only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.

Mysterious Nazca Drawings
?? One ofthe most mysterious archaeological spectacles in the world is the immensecomplex of geo- metrical symbols, giant ground-drawings of birds and animals,and hundreds of long, ruler-straight lines , some right across mountains, which stretch over l,200 square miles of the Peruvian tablelands, atNazca.
?? Nazcawas first revealed to modern eyes in 1926 when three explorers looked dow??n onthe desert from a hillside at dusk and briefly saw a Nazca line highlighted bythe rays of the sun. But it was not until the Peruvian airforce took aerialphotographs in the 1940s that the full magnificence of the pano- rama wasapparent. Hundreds of what looked like landing strips for aircraft wererevealed. There were eighteen bird-like drawings, up t0 400 feet long;four-sided figures with two lines parallel; and long needle-like triangleswhich ran for miles. Among the many abstract patterns were a giant spider, a monkey,a shark all drawn on the ground on a huge scale.
?? Thescale is monumental, but from the ground almost invisible and totallyincomprehensible. The amaz- ing fact about Nazca, created more than l,500 yearsago, is tha??t it can only be appreciated if seen from the air. Many, therefore,regarded it as a prehistoric landing ground for visitors from outer space, butJim Wood- man, an American explorer, who was long fascinated by the mystery ofNazca, had a different opinion. He be- lieved that Nazca only made sense if thepeople who had designed and made these vast drawings on the ground couldactually see them, and that led him to the theory that the ancient Peruvianshad somehow learned to fly, as only from above could they really see the extentof their handiwork. With this theory in mind, he researched into ancientPeruvian legends about flight and came to the conclusion that the only feasibleanswer was a hot- air balloon.
?? To provehis theory, Woodman would have to make such a thing using the same fabrics andfibers that would have?? been available to the men of Nazca at the time. Hestarted by gathering information from ancient paintings, legends, books andarchaeological sites. After many attempts, Woodman built a balloon-typeairship. It took him into the air, letting him have the sensation he had neverhad from viewing the same ground that he had seen many times. His flight was amodern demonstration of an ancient possibility.??
?? One of the "most mysterious archaeologicalspectacles in the world" is??
A.the size of Nazca
B.the lines over mountains
C.the Peruvian tablelands
D.the huge and complicated ground-drawings
听力原文: In the local newspaper of my community recently there was a story about a man named Virgle Spears. He lived in a small town about 40 miles from my home. He had served five years in a New York prison for robbing a restaurant. When he returned to his family, Mr. Spears couldn't find a job. Everyone knew he had been in prison and nobody trusted him. Finally in desperation, he calmly walked into a local barbershop where he was well known, pulled out a gun and took all the money the barber had. Up to this point it had been a fairly routine crime. But then something unusual happened. Mr. Spears didn't try to get away. He got into his car, drove slowly out of his town and waited for the police. When they caught him, he made only one request. He turned to arresting policemen and said, "Would you please ask the court to put my family on welfare just as soon as possible?"
