&Most of the time, I do not want to die. But I would like to have the means of death within my grasp. I want to feel the luxury of choice, to know the answer to “How do I bear this?” need not always be “Endure.&

Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5:30, and at 6:30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over Sheba.
"Hey, Sheba" she said, "I"ve got no time for you now, but I"ll take you out as soon as I get back fromtennis club." Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet (兽医). When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly intohis office.
"Listen, doctor, I"m really in a rush to get to a meeting. Can I leave her with you, and go and get changed?I"ll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I"ll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?"
"Sure." said the doctor.
Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring.
"This is Dr. Sterne," said an anxious voice. "I want you to get out of that house immediately," said the doctor"s voice. "I"m coming round soon, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!"
At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran intothe house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.
"Where"s Sheba? Is she OK?" shouted Joanne.
"She"s fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she"s OK now."
Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.
"My God," said Joanne, "how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?"
"I think he must be a burglar," said the doctor. "I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba"s throat: it turned out to be three human fingers."

阅读下文，完成题。（20分）①那一年，我的生母突然去世，我不到八岁，弟弟才三岁多一点儿，我俩朝爸爸哭着闹着要妈妈。爸爸办完丧事，自己回了一趟老家。他回来的时候，给我们带回来了她，后面还跟着一个不大的小姑娘。爸爸指着她，对我和弟弟说：“快，叫妈妈!”弟弟吓得躲在我身后，我噘着小嘴，任爸爸怎么说，就是不吭声。“不叫就不叫吧！”她说着伸出手要摸摸我的头，我拧着脖子闪开，说就是不让她摸。②望着这陌生的娘俩儿，我首先想起了那无数人唱过的凄凉小调：“小白菜呀，地里黄呀，两三岁呀，没有娘呀……”我不知道那时是一种什么心绪，总是用忐忑不安的眼光偷偷地看她和她的女儿。 ③在以后的日子里，我从来不喊她妈妈。学校开家长会，我愣是把她堵在门口，对同学说：“这不是我妈。”有一天，我把妈妈生前的照片翻出来，挂在家里最醒目的地方，以此向后娘示威。怪了，她不但不生气，而且常常踩着凳子上去擦照片上的灰尘。有一次，她正擦着，我突然向她大声喊道：“你别碰我的妈妈。”好几次夜里，我听见爸爸在和她商量“把照片取下来吧”，而她总是说：“不碍事儿，挂着吧!”头一次，我对她产生了一种说不出的好感，但我还是不愿叫她妈妈。④孩子没有一盏是省油的灯，大人的心操不完。我们大院有块平坦、宽敞的水泥空场，那是我们孩子的乐园，我们没事儿便到那儿踢球、跳皮筋，或者漫无目的地疯跑。一天上午，我被一辆突如其来的自行车撞倒，重重地摔在了水泥地上，立刻昏了过去。等我醒来，发现自己已经躺在医院里了。大夫告诉我：“多亏了你妈呀!她一直背着你跑来的，生怕你留下后遗症，长大了可得好好孝顺呀……”⑤她站在一边不说话，看我醒过来，就伏下身摸摸我的后脑勺，又摸摸我的脸。我不知怎么搞的，我第一次在她面前流泪了。⑥“还疼？”她立刻紧张地问我。⑦我摇摇头，眼泪却止不住。⑧“不疼就好，没事就好!”⑨回家的时候，天早已经全黑了。从医院到家的路很长，还要穿过一条漆黑的小胡同，我一直伏在她的背上。我知道刚才她就是这样背着我，跑了这么长的路往医院赶的。⑩以后的许多天里，她不管见爸爸还是见邻居，总是一个劲埋怨自己“都赖我，没看好孩子！千万别落下病根呀……”，好像一切过错不在那硬梆梆的水泥地，不在我太调皮，而全在于她。一直到我活蹦乱跳一点儿也没事了，她才舒了一口气。(11)没过几年，三年自然灾害就来了。只是为了省出家里一口人吃饭，她把自己的亲生闺女，那个老实、听话，像她一样善良的小姐姐嫁到了内蒙，那年小姐姐才十八岁。我记得特别清楚，那一天，天气很冷，爸爸看小姐姐穿得太单薄了，就把家里唯一一件粗线毛大衣给小姐姐穿上了。她看见了，一把就给扯了下来，“别，还是留给她弟弟吧。啊？”车站上，她一句话也没说，在火车开动的时候，她才向女儿挥了挥手。寒风中，我看见她那像枯枝一样的手臂在抖动。回来的路上，她一边走一边叨叨：“好啊，好啊，闺女大了，早点儿寻个人家好啊，好。”我实在是不知道人生的滋味儿，不知道她一路上叨叨的这几句话是在安抚她自己那流血的心，她也是母亲，她送走自己的亲生闺女，为的是两个并非亲生的孩子，世上竟有这样的后母？(12)望着她那日趋隆起的背影，我的眼泪一个劲儿往上涌。“妈妈！”我第一次这样称呼了她。她站住了，回过头，愣愣地看着我，不敢相信这是真的。我又叫了一声“妈妈”，她竟“呜”地一声哭了，哭得像个孩子。多少年的酸甜苦辣，多少年的委曲，全都在这一声“妈妈”中融解了。(13)母亲啊，您对孩子的要求就是这么少……(14)这一年，爸爸有病去世了。妈妈她先是帮人家看孩子，以后又在家里弹棉花，攫①线头，妈妈就是用弹棉花、攫线头挣来的钱，供我和弟弟上学。望着妈妈每天满身、满脸、满头的棉花毛毛，我常想亲娘又怎么样？！从那以后的许多年里，我们家的日子虽然过得很清苦，但是，有妈妈在，我们仍然觉得很甜美。无论多晚回家，那小屋里的灯总是亮的，桔黄色的火里是妈妈跳跃的心脏，只要妈在，那小屋便充满温暖，充满了爱。(15)我总觉得妈妈的心脏会永远地跳跃着，却从来没想到，我们刚大学毕业的时候，妈妈却突然地倒下了，而且再也没有起来。(16)妈妈，请您的在天之灵能原谅我们，原谅我们儿时的不懂事，而我却永远也不能原谅自己。我知道在这个世界上，我什么都可以忘记，却永远不能忘记您给予我们的一切……(17)世上有一部书是永远写不完的，那便是母亲。
（选自《时文选粹》）注：①攫（jué）：抓，这里是扯的意思。

你的眼泪，我的成人礼（1）开学三天后，我如愿当上了班长。我在高中时一直做班长，有经验，所以充满自信。（2）我希望一个班级能有好的团队精神和面貌。当天下午，我走上讲台对大家说：“打扰各位同学几分钟，为了方便大家联系，我决定在班里开通飞信。”（3）“什么是飞信啊？”前排，一个短头发的女生问。(4)“就是综合通信服务啊，可以实现互联网和手机间的无缝通信服务……通俗点说吧，就是可以群体使用的短信息，免费的，就像QQ群，我们班先建立起自己的飞信群。”(5)短头发的女生吐吐舌头，有点不好意思，然后半开玩笑地说：“我从小县城来的，消息不灵通。”好多同学笑起来。我也笑了笑说：“如果大家都明白了的话，把手机号报给我……”(6)我的话还没说完，听到有个男生问：“必须要用手机吗？”(7)“当然，不用手机怎么发短信？”我不解地向后看去，问话的，是个皮肤微黑的男生，瘦瘦的，但是眼睛很亮，唇角微微上扬，有点倔强的表情。但是我没想到那个男生忽然站起来说：“我没有手机。”(8)“去买一个啊。”我不假思索地脱口而出。(9)“我是从农村来的，家里穷，家里还有奶奶和妹妹，母亲身体不好，一家人的生活都靠父亲在城里做建筑工。我上大学的学费是父亲借来的，在大学里怎么生活下去，还要靠我自己，所以对不起，虽然我热爱我们的班级，但是班里的飞信群，我不能参加。”说完，那个男生朝外走去。(10)我愣住了，而此刻，全班同学，也都鸦雀无声。那个高高瘦瘦的男生，穿着普通的蓝色运动装，白球鞋，街边小摊的廉价物品，做工粗糙……而裹在这样劣质运动装里的背影，却依然挺拔。（11）许久，我站在那里，感觉心里有一种从未有过的惭愧、自责，甚至有一种失效。（12）第二天，我在教室里挂了一块黑板，我说：“以后有什么消息，我会写在黑板上通知大家，请大家留意！”然后，走到教室后面，走到那个拒绝了我并敢于承认贫穷的男生面前，什么都没有说，只是弯下身，深深地鞠了一躬。（13）教室的某个角落，发出了孤单的掌声，很快，掌声多了起来，连成了片。（14）我抬起头的时候，那个高高的倔强的男生清亮的眼睛里，盈满了泪水。（15）这一天，是我18岁生日，虽然我收到了许多贵重的礼物，但是我知道，这眼泪，才是生活送给我的真正的成人礼。小题1:通读全文，理清“我”的心理变化脉络，在空白处填上恰当的词语。(3分）（
