It was Gies who guarded Anne’s diary, and presented it to the girl’s father, Otto, when he returned from the Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯威辛集中营) at the end of World War II—the only one of his family to survive. In her diary, Anne Frank wrote about her teenage life hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam from 1942 to 1944, when the Nazi police discovered her and her family’s hiding place. The diary, first published in 1947, has been translated into 70 languages. Anne Frank expressed a great wish to live on after death. Miep Gies saw it as her duty to help in making this happen. Born in Vienna in 1909, Gies moved to the Netherlands at the age of 11. In 1933, she began working for Otto Frank at his trading company. At great risk to her own safety, she and four other helpers brought food and supplies to the Frank family hiding in a secret office building for more than two years. When she turned 100, Gies tried to play down her own role. “I’m not a hero,” she said. “ It wasn’t something I planned in advance. I simply did what I could to help.” Every day she received letters from all over the world with questions about her relationship with Anne Frank and her role as a helper. Gies received many honors for her role, including from the Netherlands, Germany and Israel. 56.When did Miep Gies move to the Netherlands? A. In 1909. B. In 1920. C. In 1933. D. In 1947. 57.

Miep Gies wasn’t highly honored until her death. 58. By saying “Gies tried to play down her own role”, the writer means Gies_______. A. didn’t play a role in saving the family B. regretted saving the diary C. was proud of what she had done D. thought she was overpraised 59. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Anne Frank’s diary. B. Woman who saved Anne’s diary dies at 100. C. Survivors of World War II. D. The story of Miep Gies and Anne Frank. 60. What can we infer(推断) from the passage? A. Miep Gies died at the age of 100 after a brief illness. B. Otto protected his daughter’s diary in the war and then had it published. C. Miep Gies did a great favor to Anne’s family. D. Miep Gies helped Anne’s family though she knew none of the family members. B I could fill a book with embarrassing situations I’ve been in over the years. These moments used to haunt (萦绕) me and my face would turn as red as a big tomato. It wasn’t until I was in my late teens, working at a hotel that things changed for me. I took a year off in between high school and university, because like many people my age I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do, and I didn’t want to waste $ 5,000 on a university tuition(学费). I tried to keep silent at my new job, avoiding the other employees. All of them didn’t care about me except for one girl. She kept at me, telling me stories of her weekend and how she loved snowboarding, something I was interested in as well. She was the type of warm personality where people were immediately drawn to her, and soon enough I found myself looking forward to our coffee breaks and snowboarding after work. The more I hung out with her, the more I realized that this girl, who seemed to have it all together, was in fact just like me, except for one major difference. She laughed at herself. One night after work we were snowboarding and she fell down carelessly resulting in a mouth full of snow. Instead of getting embarrassed she jumped right up laughing loudly at how ridiculous she must have looked. As time went on, her warm personality began to wear off(逐渐消失) on me and soon enough I had a mini-breakthrough. I’m not saying that I no longer find myself in embarrassing situations; I’ve just learned how to handle them differently. Just a few months ago I walked out of a bathroom unaware of the fact that my skirt was tucked(塞) in my underwear. But instead of rushing back to the bathroom I calmly pulled it out and continued on my way shaking my head and smiling. (责任编辑：admin) |
