6. Jesus' Life Although born in Bethlehem, according to Matthew and Luke, Jesus was a Galilean（加利利人） from Nazareth, a village near Sepphoris, one of the two major cities of Galilee. He was born to Joseph and Mary sometime between 6 BC and shortly before the death of Herod the Great in 4 BC. According to Matthew and Luke, however, Joseph was only legally his father. They report that Mary was a virgin when Jesus was conceived and that she “was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit” . Joseph is said to have been a carpenter—that is, a craftsman who worked with his hands—and Jesus also became a carpenter. The Bible states that Jesus as a child was precociously（超前地） learned, but there is no other evidence of his childhood or early life. As a young adult, he went to be baptized（洗礼） by the prophet John the Baptist and shortly thereafter became an itinerant（巡回的） preacher （传道者）and healer. In his mid-30s Jesus had a short public career, lasting perhaps less than one year, during which he attracted considerable attention. Sometime between AD 29 and 33—possibly AD 30—he went to observe Passover（逾越节） in Jerusalem, where his entrance, according to the Gospels, was triumphant and infused with eschatological significance. There he was arrested, tried, and executed. Jesus Christ lived on earth about thirty-three years, and led a most holy life in poverty and suffering. After his death, his disciples became convinced that he still lived and had appeared to them. They converted others to belief in him, which eventually led to a new religion, Christianity. When Jesus lived on earth, he performed many miracles. The gospels describe such miracles: healing the sick, casting out the demons of mental illness from the tormented, and even bringing the dead back to life. Here are some miracles recorded in the Bible. 1. Water into Wine The first miracle that Jesus did was at a wedding feast in the town of Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother, Mary, told Jesus that the wedding host was out of wine. Jesus told the servants to fill the water pots with water and then when they dipped it out, there was wine in the jars. Jesus had turned the water into wine. 2. Calming the Storm Jesus and his disciples were out on the lake when a storm suddenly came up. Jesus was asleep in the boat and his friends were afraid. They woke him. He got up and told the storm to stop and it was completely calm; the wind stopped blowing and the water was still. His disciples were amazed! "Even the winds and the waves obey Him," they said. 3. Healings There was a man in Jerusalem who had been blind from birth. Jesus put clay on the blind man's eyes and told him to go wash in the pool of Siloam. When he washed the clay off, he could see. (John 9:1-41) Once in Jerusalem, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus asked Jesus for mercy and healing. Jesus told him that his faith had cured him and the man praised God for his sight. (Mark 10:46-52) Christians believe that through his crucifixion(受难；被钉十字架) and subsequent resurrection, God offered humans salvation and eternal life. 12. The underlined word “resurrection” in the last paragraph means _______.
A、Death.
B、Disappearance.
C、Revival.
D、Redemption.

At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation after she wrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became common practice in Boston to have "Mrs. Wheatley's Phyllis" read poetry in polite society. Mary married in 1771, and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health, as a teacher and caretaker to a farmer's three children. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis's poems but once they heard she was a Negro they weren't interested.
Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London. It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors died in 1777, and Mary died in 1778, Phyllis was freed as a slave. She married in 1778, moved away from Boston, and had three children. But after the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in poverty at the age of thirty.

第三节 短文理解2
阅读下列短文，从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。
"I would almost rather see you dead. "Robert S. Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist.
In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady's family ranked among the best of Philadelphia's social families, such an idea could not even be considered.
That was how Mary Cassatt, born in 1844, began her straggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her father's anger. Instead, she opposed him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social position and all thought of a husband and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young la- dy. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance, she became America's most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.
How did Mr. Cassatt react when his daughter made her announcement？
A．He feared for her life.
B．He was very angry.
C．He nearly killed her.
