I ordered a Salisbury steak, confident in the knowledge that under that wonderful name was a good hamburger. When brought to the table, it was with a plate of peas. I have always hated peas. I dont know why anyone would like to eat peas. I never ate them before. And I certainly was not about to eat them now. “Eat your peas, ”my grandmother said. “Mother, ”said my mom. “He doesnt like peas. Leave him alone. ”My grandmother did not answer, but I saw something strong in her eyes. “Ill pay you $5 if you eat them, ”she said. I sat there still. In my mind, $5 was a huge, nearly unimaginable amount（数量） of money, and as terrible as peas were, only one plate of them stood between me and that $5. I began to eat them. My mother was angry while grandma was pleased. My mother stared at（盯着） her mother and me. If there were a staring Olympics, she would win the gold medal. The stares made me nervous, and every single pea made me nearly throw up, but the image of $5 were in my mind, and I finally finished them. My grandmother left for Aunt Lillians a few weeks later. That night, at dinner, my mother served a big bowl of peas. I, of course, said no at once. My mother looked at me coldly and then came the words that followed me for years. “You ate them for money.” she said. “You can eat them for love. ”Oh, despair（绝望）! Oh, my god! Now, too late, came the understanding that Id drawn myself into something from which there was no way to run away. What possible answer could I say against that?I ate them. I ate them that day and every other time they were served. The five dollars were quickly spent. My grandmother passed away a few years later. But the story of the peas lived on, and the words became my forever nightmare（噩梦）, “You ate them for money, you can eat them for love. ”26 . What kind of person is the grandma according to the writer?AStrict.BTerrible.CFriendly.DFunny.27 . After the lunch, the mother continued to serve peas to her son because _.Ashe disliked her son very muchBshe wanted to see if he loved herCshe decided to teach him a lessonDshe wanted him to remember his grandma28 .

The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it.

Glenn Cunningham was given up by doctors who believed he would be a hopeless disabled man to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. “He will never be able to walk again,” they said, “no chance.”The doctors examined his legs, but they had no way of looking into Glenns heart. He didnt listen to the doctors and set out to walk again. Lying in bed, his thin, red legs covered with scar tissue (瘢痕组织), Glenn promised, “Next week, Im going to get out of bed. Im going to walk.” And he did just that.His mother told how she used to look out of the windows to watch Glenn reach up and take hold of an old plow(犁) in the yard. With a hand on each handle (把手), he began to make his hurt legs function (起作用). And with every step of pain, he came closer to walking. Soon he began to run slower, before long he was running. When he started to run, he became even more determined(坚决的).“I always believed that I could walk, and I did. Now Im going to run faster than ever.” And so he did. He became a great runner who, in 1934, set the world record of 406 in one-mile race. He was honored as the outstanding athlete of the century at Madison Square Garden.54 .
