23、6)A 8)B 10)A 12)C 14)B我那個(gè)年代 拉塞爾靈克1我母親在80歲時(shí)重重地摔了一跤，這是她最后一次摔得這么嚴(yán)重。此后她的記憶便在時(shí)間的長(zhǎng)河中自在漫游。有時(shí)候她暢游在半個(gè)世紀(jì)前她所參加過(guò)的婚禮或葬禮，有時(shí)候她又會(huì)沉浸在過(guò)去的星期天下午為孩子們主持家庭晚宴的情景中。而當(dāng)年那些孩子們現(xiàn)在已是頭發(fā)花白的年紀(jì)了。她躺在床上，以這樣的方式使思緒穿越時(shí)空，其速度之快、之容易是自然科學(xué)能力所不及的。2“拉塞爾在哪兒?”有一天我去養(yǎng)老院探望時(shí)她問(wèn)道。3“我就是拉塞爾?！蔽艺f(shuō)。4凝視著這么一個(gè)高大得令她難以想象的人物，她很快就否定了我的回答。5“拉塞爾只有這么高。”她說(shuō)著，將手抬到距離地面約兩英尺

24、處，手心向下比劃了一下。那時(shí)她以為自己還是一個(gè)年輕的農(nóng)村婦女，從后院可以看見(jiàn)蘋(píng)果園后面模糊的弗吉尼亞群山。然而，對(duì)于那時(shí)的她來(lái)說(shuō)，現(xiàn)在的我是一個(gè)年紀(jì)大得足以做她父親的陌生人。6一天早晨，她給在紐約的我打來(lái)電話，“今天你打算來(lái)參加我的葬禮嗎?”她問(wèn)道。7這個(gè)令人尷尬的問(wèn)題使我從睡夢(mèng)中清醒過(guò)來(lái)：“看在上帝的份上，您在說(shuō)什么?”這是我當(dāng)時(shí)能做出的最好回答。8“今天我就要下葬了?！钡胤浅］p快地說(shuō)道，仿佛在宣布一項(xiàng)重要的社交活動(dòng)。9，“我會(huì)給您回電話的?！闭f(shuō)完我便掛斷了電話。而等我給她回電話時(shí)，她已經(jīng)“正?！绷?。盡管她實(shí)際上并不正常，當(dāng)然，我們都知道她不正常。10她一直是一個(gè)體態(tài)嬌小的女人矮個(gè)子，小骨架

25、，身材單薄但是現(xiàn)在，在醫(yī)院的白色罩單下，她愈發(fā)顯得瘦小。這讓我想到了有著大而兇狠眼睛的玩具娃娃。她身上總有那么一股狠勁兒，這股狠勁兒表現(xiàn)在她發(fā)表見(jiàn)解時(shí)，她總是挑釁地?fù)P起下巴露出憤怒的表情，而她發(fā)表各種各樣的言論時(shí)越發(fā)明顯。11“我會(huì)確切地告訴別人我想什么，”她總喜歡炫耀，“不管他們喜不喜歡?！?2“確切地告訴別人你想什么不一定總是好事。”我過(guò)去常常提醒她。13“如果他們不喜歡，那就太糟糕了，”這是她常用的回答，“因?yàn)槲揖拖矚g這樣的方式?！?4，她就是這樣一個(gè)令人敬畏的女人，想說(shuō)什么就說(shuō)什么，想怎么做就怎么做，一定要使對(duì)手屈從。她以極大的熱情全身心地投入到生活中，這股熱情使她看上去總在忙忙碌碌，

26、不停奔波。15她曾手持斧子追趕過(guò)雞群，決意要?dú)⑺に鼈內(nèi)舆M(jìn)鍋里煮成晚餐；不論鋪床，還是擺飯桌，她都風(fēng)風(fēng)火火，就像有人和她賽跑一樣。有一年的感恩節(jié)她嚴(yán)重地燙傷了自己。當(dāng)時(shí)，她從地下室往樓上跑，手里拿著過(guò)節(jié)要吃的火雞，被樓梯絆了一跤，滾下了樓梯，火雞裂開(kāi)了，結(jié)果她跌坐在一堆雞內(nèi)臟和滾燙的肉汁中。生活是一場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)斗，而勝利不屬于那些懶惰者、膽小鬼和放蕩的人，也不屬于那些唯唯諾諾、不敢直言的人。她一生總是忙個(gè)不停。16。如今，操勞忙碌已經(jīng)結(jié)束。一時(shí)間我竟不能接受這不可避免的事實(shí)。當(dāng)坐在她床邊時(shí)，我總是有種沖動(dòng)想把她喚回現(xiàn)實(shí)。在我第一次去巴爾的摩的醫(yī)院探望她時(shí)，她竟然問(wèn)我是誰(shuí)。17“我是拉塞爾，”我說(shuō)。 18

27、“拉塞爾去西部了?！彼嵝盐艺f(shuō)。19“沒(méi)有，我就在這兒。”20她的回答卻是，“猜猜看今天我從哪兒來(lái)?”21“哪兒?”22“從新澤西來(lái)。”25“不對(duì)。你已經(jīng)在醫(yī)院待了3天了?！蔽覉?jiān)持說(shuō)。26我們就這樣談著直到醫(yī)生進(jìn)來(lái)要給母親做一些口頭測(cè)試，這些測(cè)試是醫(yī)生針對(duì)這類病癥所采取的。她回答得亂七八糟，要么答錯(cuò)，要么根本不答。不久，發(fā)生了令人驚奇的事情。27“您什么時(shí)候生日?”醫(yī)生問(wèn)道。23“1897年11月5日。”她說(shuō)。正確，完全正確。29“您怎么記得這么清楚?”醫(yī)生又問(wèn)。30“因?yàn)槲沂窃谏w伊福克斯紀(jì)念日出生的?！?1“蓋伊?？怂?”醫(yī)生問(wèn)道，“誰(shuí)是蓋伊?？怂?”32她用一首歌謠回答了醫(yī)生，這些年我一直

28、聽(tīng)她反復(fù)地吟唱這首歌謠：33，“請(qǐng)記住11月5日這一天。34火藥陰謀粉碎于這一天。35我有充分的理由認(rèn)為36決不應(yīng)該忘掉火藥陰謀?！?7背誦完之后，她便盯著這個(gè)年輕的醫(yī)生，對(duì)于1605年蓋伊?？怂雇龍D用一桶火藥將詹姆斯一世趕下王位而最終失敗的歷史，這個(gè)醫(yī)生一無(wú)所知?！耙苍S你懂得很多醫(yī)學(xué)知識(shí)，但是很明顯你對(duì)歷史一無(wú)所知，”她說(shuō)。告訴了我們她所想的之后，就再次拋下我們?nèi)ド裼瘟恕?8于是醫(yī)生的診斷認(rèn)為她患有不可治愈的衰老癥或是動(dòng)脈硬化。我卻認(rèn)為癥狀比這更為復(fù)雜。這十多年來(lái)，她用來(lái)戰(zhàn)勝生活的強(qiáng)大活力逐漸轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)閼嵟?，這種憤怒正在同年邁帶給她的虛弱的身體、無(wú)趣的生活及冷漠的態(tài)度斗爭(zhēng)。而今，在這最后一次重重

29、地跌倒后，她仿佛打碎了那根將她禁錮在令她討厭的生活中的鎖鏈，并重新回到了那個(gè)有人愛(ài)她的時(shí)代，那個(gè)別人需要她的時(shí)代。漸漸地，我開(kāi)始明白了。393年前，我從紐約到她居住的巴爾的摩偶爾探望過(guò)她。之后，我給她寫(xiě)了封信，就是些勸人的套話，鼓勵(lì)她去尋求希望，相信自己的祈禱，而不是用她的苦惱去增加別人的負(fù)擔(dān)。我猜想我所想表達(dá)的真實(shí)意思加起來(lái)不過(guò)是種威脅：如果在我探望期間她不振作、不高興，我便不會(huì)經(jīng)常去探望。孩子們總是能寫(xiě)出這樣的信件。這封信是出于一種孩子氣的想法：父母具有永恒的力量。我天真地以為通過(guò)意志力便可以打敗衰老與虛弱，而她亦只需幾句鼓舞的話就可以重新精神抖擻起來(lái)。40她以一種異乎尋常的輕松與歡樂(lè)的筆

30、調(diào)回了信，我猜想是有意表明她正在努力。提到我對(duì)她的探望，她寫(xiě)道：“如果有時(shí)候你見(jiàn)到我不快樂(lè)，那么我的確是不快樂(lè)的。不過(guò)對(duì)此誰(shuí)都無(wú)能為力，因?yàn)槲抑皇翘哿?，太孤?dú)了，應(yīng)該好好睡一覺(jué)，把這些全忘了?！蹦菚r(shí)候，她已經(jīng)78歲。413年后的今天，重重地摔了一跤后，她終于可以忘記那些疲憊和孤獨(dú)，重新找回快樂(lè)了。我很快便停止了對(duì)她的勸說(shuō)，不再試圖把她拉回到我以為的“現(xiàn)實(shí)”中來(lái)，并且盡力同她一起踏上那些神奇的旅行，回到過(guò)去的歲月中。一天，當(dāng)我來(lái)到她床邊時(shí)，她容光煥發(fā)。42“今天感覺(jué)挺不錯(cuò)的啊?！蔽艺f(shuō)。43“為什么不呢?”她問(wèn)道，“爸爸今天要帶我坐船去巴爾的摩?！?4那時(shí)候，她還是個(gè)小女孩，站在碼頭邊和她的父親一起等候著切薩皮克灣的汽輪一她的父隸已經(jīng)去世61年了。那時(shí)，威廉霍華德塔夫特正在白宮執(zhí)政，美國(guó)還是一個(gè)年輕的國(guó)家，在它面前展現(xiàn)的未來(lái)一片光明燦爛?！懊绹?guó)是上帝創(chuàng)造的
