    Henry found work in a bookstore after he finished middle school. He wouldn’t do anything but wanted to get rich. Mr. King thought he was too lazy and was going to send him away. Henry was afraid and had to work hard.
    It was a cold morning. It was snowing and there was thin ice on the streets. Few people went to buy the books and the young man had nothing to do. He hated to read, so he watched the traffic. Suddenly he saw a bag fall off a truck and it landed by the other side of the street.
    “It must be full of expensive things,” Henry said to himself. “I have to get it, or others will take it away. ”
    He went out of the shop and ran across the street. A driver saw him and began to whistle (鸣笛), but he didn’t hear it and went on running. The man drove aside, hit a big tree and was hurt in the accident. Two weeks later Henry was taken to court (法庭). A judge asked if he heard the whistle when he was running across the street. He said that something was wrong with his ears and he could hear nothing.
    “But you’ve heard me this time.” said the judge.
    “Oh, I’m sorry. Now I can hear with one ear.”
    “Cover the ear with your hand and listen to me with your deaf (聋的)one. Well, can you hear me? ”

    Back in the fifteenth century in Nuremberg lived a family with eighteen children. They were so poor that two children, who wanted to pursue their talent for  26 knew their father would never be   27  able to send  either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.

Albert went down into the dangerous  29  and for the next four years, financed his brother, who did so well that his works were even better than those of most of his  30 . By the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn  31  fees by drawing for wealthy people. When the young artist returned home, at dinner he drank a  32 to his beloved brother for the years of  33 that had enabled him to fulfill his  34 .He said, “Albert, my blessed brother, now it is your 35 to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care of you.”
    With tears in his eyes, Albert held his hands close to his right cheek and said, “No, brother, I cannot go. Look... look what four years in the mines have done to my  36  !The bones in every finger have been  37 at least once. Lately I have been suffering from arthritis (关节炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a  38  to return your toast, much less make delicate （细腻的）lines with a pen or a brush.

    Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
    The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
    I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?”“Twenty pounds,”I said. “OK,”he said. “I'll give you twenty pounds.”“It's got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.”
    Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.”“I'll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean?” “You've just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I am sorry. I'll give you twenty seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You're right,”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,‘Would you mend this chair for me?’”“I wouldn't have agreed to do it,”he said. “We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver(五英镑钞票)?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
    小题1:We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_________.
    A．was rather impolite
    B．was warmly received
    C．asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair
    D．asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
    小题2:The underlined word “approach” in the second paragraph means _________.
    A．plan for dealing with thingsB．decision to sell things
    C．idea of repairing thingsD．way of doing things
    小题3:The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper ____.
    A．changed his mindB．accepted the offer
    C．saw the writer's purposeD．decided to help the writer
    小题4:How much did the writer pay?
    A．￡5.B．￡7.C．￡20.D．￡27.
    小题5:From the text, we can learn that the writer was _________.
    A．honestB．carefulC．smartD．funny

    “This one’s for you,” Sergeant (警官) Barstow shouted and left quickly through the back door. I was a little puzzled. I looked out a window of the Ashfordly Police Station and saw an elderly woman come into the building.
    “Good morning, Madam,” I said.
    “Good morning,” she said pleasantly. “You’re new, aren’t you?”
    “Yes, Madam.”
    “It’s about that man who’s been annoying me,” she said. “I’ve been here about him before.”
    “Could I have your name and address, please?”  
    “Miss Fraser. Josephine Fraser. I live at 43 Prince Terrace. Now, can you please do something about Jackson?”
    “What’s he done, Miss Fraser?”
    “Done? He’s thrown garbage all over my stairs again. He must be stopped.”
    “Where does he live?”
    “Next door, Number 41,” she said.  
    “I’ll go and see later and warn him off, Miss Fraser.”
    “I would be most grateful.” With that she left.
    Half an hour later, I reached Prince Terrace. NO. 41 was in a bad state of repair. I knocked. No reply. I entered. The place was deserted. I wondered if the Jackson was a tramp (流浪者). Anyway, it seemed he had left, possibly because of Miss Fraser’s threatening police action. I decided to visit her.
    I knocked on her door and it was opened almost immediately. “Ah!” she said gladly. “You’re just in time for coffee.” I followed her inside. Miss Fraser told me more about her battle with Jackson. But when I asked specific questions, it clearly showed that she had never seen Jackson. Finally, I managed to leave.
    Sergeant Barstow smiled kindly as I returned. “Nick, did you kick(踢出) Jackson out of that house?”
    “Jackson!” I cried. “Who is he?”
    “There is no Jackson,” he said. “Miss Fraser is lonely and she likes company. We always let the new young men deal with Miss Fraser. It gives her deep satisfaction. That’s what we are here for, isn’t it — to satisfy the public?”
    小题1:Why did Sergeant Barstow leave quickly when Miss Fraser came?
    A．Because he wanted to let Nick deal with her alone.
    B．Because he had to go and catch Jackson at once.
    C．Because he was tired of the elderly woman.
    D．Because he knew she would tell a lie.
    小题2:Miss Fraser told Nick that _____.
    A．her neighbor had often caused her trouble
    B．it was her first visit to the police station
    C．she was looking for Sergeant Barstow
    D．someone had broken into her house
    小题3:Miss Fraser made up the story of Jackson because _____.
    A．she liked to play jokes on the policemen
    B．she wanted to have someone to talk with
    C．she loved to show others her nice coffee
    D．she hated Jackson very much

    My husband and son took a New York-to-Milwaukee flight that was supposed to leave Friday at 11:29 am. The flight boarded after 4 pm and didn’t leave the gate until 4:40, and half an hour later the pilot announced it would be another hour until takeoff. At that point a Jewish family, worried about violating the Sabbath （安息日）, asked to get off. Going back to the gate cost the plane its place in line for takeoff, and the flight was eventually cancelled. Was the airline right to grant that request?
    M. W, Norwalk, CONN.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Situations like that can bring out the worst in people. But despite the increasing resentment（怨恨） of a plane full of people, the pilot tried to do the right thing. He went out of his way to satisfy one family’s urgent need. He should not have done so.
    Passengers bought tickets in the belief that the airline’s primary goal was to get them to their destination as close to the schedule as possible. Once they got on the plane and the doors are locked, it’s not correct to announce that the rules have changed and that a personal (as opposed to medical) emergency —no matter how urgent — might take precedence（优先）.
    That would be just as true if turning back to the gate had merely cost a few minutes rather than doomed the flight entirely, since on a plane, even a slight delay can spread outward, from the people in the cabin to those meeting them to the passengers waiting to board the plane for the next leg of its journey and so on. It would also be true if the personal emergency were not religious — if someone suddenly realized she’d made a professional mistake that might cost her millions, and she had to race back to the office to fix it.
    If a religious practice does nothing to harm others, then airlines should make a reasonable effort to accommodate it. Though that family has every right to observe the Sabbath, it has no right to enlist an airplane full of captive bystanders to help them do so. By boarding a flight on a Friday afternoon, the family knowingly risked running into trouble. The risk was theirs alone to bear.
    小题1:M. W. wrote the letter to ask whether ______.
    A．Any religious passenger has the right to ask the pilot to take off
    B．The airline has the right to cancel the flight without any reason
    C．A flight should meet any passenger’s need despite others’ benefit
    D．A plane which has left the gate should give up taking off
    小题2:What do we know from the reply letter?
    A．The pilot did the right thing in spite of the fierce resentment.
    B．The plane should turn back if anyone aboard is seriously ill.
    C．Anybody who has boarded has no chance to get off the plane.
    D．Any flight shouldn’t change its schedule no matter what has happened.
    小题3:What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?
    A．Turning back to the gate usually takes a plane quite a long time.
    B．Nobody should take precedence to require the plane to turn back to the gate.
    C．Even if it had taken a few minutes it was not right to turn back to the gate.
    D．It was OK if turning back to the gate hadn’t caused the flight to be cancelled.
    小题4:The author of the reply letter thinks that _________.
    A．It’s right for the plane to turn back to the gate to save a passenger’s treasure
    B．The Jewish family should give up observing the Sabbath after boarding
    C．The biggest problem of turning back is to bring trouble to the pilot
    D．The Jewish family had better avoid boarding on Friday afternoon

    The drug store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop-assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr, the boss, stared at him and said: “Hold on, Alfred. Maybe you'd be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go.”Alfred's face got red. After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I'm going to have to put you in prison.”
    Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. “Hello, I'm Alfred's mother. Is he in trouble?”she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfred's mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty…. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying. “Of course”, he said, “I don't want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads.”And he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins's hand.
    Back home, without even looking at Alfred, she said, “You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mother's strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what he saw. His mother's face was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. He watched his mother without making a sound. The picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth coming to an end. He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.
    小题1:The reason why Mr. Carr felt guilty was that ________.
    A．he found Alfred was in fact innocent
    B．he should have called a policeman in first
    C．Alfred's mother appeared polite and gentle
    D．he thought he was partly responsible for it
    小题2:Which of the following is probably said by Mrs. Higgins while talking to Mr. Carr?
    A．“Please, for God's sake, you know, he is just a kid.”
    B．“I can't believe it! You are treating my son like that!”
    C．“You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow up.”
    D．“Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law.”
    小题3:What does the underlined phrase "his mother's strength"(Para. 3) refer to?
    A．Mrs. Higgins's calmness and communicating skills.
    B．Mrs. Higgins's attitude towards parental sufferings.
    C．Mrs. Higgins's love and care for her son Alfred.
    D．Mrs. Higgins's greatness as a woman.
    小题4:After the incident, young Alfred would probably ________.
    A．feel ashamed of her mother
    B．change his attitudes towards life
    C．learn to live an independent life
    D．hate Mr. Carr for hurting her mother
