Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can‟t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.” Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don‟t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging(摇摆) from one high steel pole to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we‟ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars. “Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hold the bar with my other elbow （肘）. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung （横档）I reached. I‟ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.” For a long time, I didn‟t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you‟ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.21. Which can be used to describe Mom‟s attitude when she made the child peel potatoes? ______A. Cruel.B.

It can‟t be seen or heard, or to uched or tasted, even tough it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can‟t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can‟t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being entirely by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed entirely, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in a deformed(畸形) way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to have serious illness as result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.29. The word “significant” in paragraph 3 has the similar meaning with________.A. deadlyB. meaningfulC. obviousD. harmful30. Radiation can hurt us in that it can_______.A. affect the healthy growth of our offspring.B. damage cells which grow into cancer years later.C. kill large number of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately.D. all of the above31. What‟s the author‟s main purpose in writing this passage?A. Emphasizing the importance of protection of radiation.B. Solving the mystery about radiation.C. Discussing the cause of cancer.D. Introducing the nuclear power.短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
