Ⅱ.阅读理解
Susie May Isaacs，my greatgrandmother, was
a
beautiful woman, both in person and in spirit. She
lived
through
two World Wars and the Great Depression. She was born in a boat in Western Oklahoma to a Cheyenne Indian father and white mother. During the eleven years I knew her. I received the gifts of witnessing determination, courage, love and perseverance. Ma lost her leg when she was 83 due to poor circulation and was told she would be in a wheelchair the rest of her life. The doctors were astonished when she left the hospital using a cane and had named her new wooden leg “Peggy”．
In 1982 Ma had a heart attack and was diagnosed with heart failure. During the weeks she was in ICU(监护病房), the hospital did not allow children to visit. Ma became very upset and refused to eat until she was allowed to see her sixteen greatgrandchildren.
We all had received bibles from her as babies which were filled with clippings(剪报) of jokes and stories. When we saw Ma, she gave us all $5. With the help of our parents we bought 16 new bibles for her to sign and fill with her clippings. None expected her to be able to sign them all before she passed away. But we all underestimated her courage and strength when she was released from her “death bed” to go home and began her task of love. During her last month she signed all the bibles and gave them to us filled with clippings and hand written poems.
Many years before Ma's death she had told her friends she would die on a Sunday so she could meet her Lord when he wasn't so busy. She had a massive heart attack on Thursday afternoon. She endured eight heart attacks between then and Sunday morning at six when she went on to meet her Lord.
I believe the few short years I was blessed with the company of that wonderful woman have helped me to be strong during the rough times and perseverance. The constant love, laughter and courage I saw that illuminated from Ma is what I remember most from a woman who met sufferings with a smile on her face and her head held high.

With the College Entrance Examinations coming，more and more students in Senior Three_________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【参考范文】
With_the_College_Entrance_Examinations_coming，more_and_more_students_in_Senior_Three are occupied in doing test papers and checking answers，which is hardly good for students to develop their abilities of all aspects，some students say.
However，as far as I'm concerned，I do believe that it will still be of value to do many test papers and check answers for the Senior Three students.The reasons are as follows：
First，doing more test papers can help students to find where they are weak and where they are strong.By doing so，students can consolidate the knowledge that they should know for the examination.Second，checking answers with other students is a good method to help students to learn to be more careful.What's more，by checking answers with other students，they can share answers with each other，which will surely develop and increase the cooperative spirit among students.
All in all，doing test papers and checking answers will do benefit students.
