二、阅读理解（3道小题,共30分）
My mother,at age 75,is a very tough person.She looks like a tiny dainty (小巧玲珑的) doll,but sheˊs made of steel.When she was ten,she witnessed Japanese soldiers
killing her parents,leaving her the head of the household with a younger brother and sister.Other family members took her brother and sister,but she was left to fend
(保护) for herself.She became a soldier,rising to a high rank,then worked in the government for a number of years.
Five years ago,Mother took a tour of the United States,and was hit by a Japanese-made car accidentally.Every bone on the left side of her body was broken.Her brain
swelled (肿胀) ,and she went into a coma (昏迷) for eight months.No one expected her to survive.One day she woke up,and the first thing she said was,″Nothing made in
Japan is going to kill me!″
There are so many brave and wonderful people who have survived the hell of war,and its aftermath (后果) .But Mother is my favorite person.She has sweetness,a sense of
humor,and determination to lead a good and full life despite everything.I wonder how many of us could face the challenges and losses she has faced,and still believe that
life is a wonderful gift.
