    Early this morning, I got up to make a batch of Rice Krispie treats（大米花糖） for my neighbor across the hall. She   21  greets me when we see each other, and her little boy, who’s now 4, won’t talk to me either.
    Last Monday, she called the firefighters when a pan I’d forgotten on the stove caused my flat to     22  . I had gone for a walk, but when I came home the street in front of our apartment was   23   by a police car, a fire truck and an ambulance!   24   I saw them, I remembered the pan!
    I felt safe knowing that    25  we don’t get along, my neighbor had done the right thing and didn’t blame me. Hence, the Rice Krispie treats.
    Last Christmas, my neighbor revealed that she had been a little angry about me because of a(n) __26___ four years ago. I had apologized and asked if there was anything I could do to ___27___ our relationship, but she would not accept my     28  .
    Her direct refusal really    29   me. After that, I decided I’d just leave her be—a relationship     30   two to work.
    So, you see, I was really scared she was going to refuse my offer again,    31    me standing on her     32   holding my plate of treats. Then, I reminded myself of how good I had felt the day before when I’d done some random acts of ___33___ after telling myself: “ Feel the fear, and do it    34   !”
    After placing the Rice Krispie treats on a beautiful plate, I opened my apartment door and met her in the hall way. I said：“I just wanted to tell you how    35   I am that you were paying attention on Monday.” I held the plate    36  her, explaining these were very sweet American treats and that she    37  try to see whether she and her family liked them. She took the plate and we talked a bit about   38   she’d become aware of the smoke in my flat before parting ways.
    Back at home I    39   a “ happy dance”, because I had been kind even though I wasn’t sure it would be appreciated. I want to be able to be kind without expecting people to    40  in a certain way.

    Prince Roman was a Polish nobleman, a captain in the army of Czar Nicholas of Russia. When his young wife died, the prince left the army and returned in sorrow to his native Poland.
    In time, love for his country and its people took the place of his lost love. He joined a Polish rising against the Russians. The rising was crushed, and Prince Roman was taken prisoner. His relatives and friends begged the military court to have mercy on him.
    The president of the court received these appeals kindly. He was a good Russian, but he was also a good-natured man. Russian hatred of Poles was not as fierce at that time as it became later; and the Russian felt sympathetic as soon as he saw the prince's thin, tired, sun-burnt face.
    The court of three officers sat in a bare room, behind a long black table. Some clerks sat at the two ends, but no one else was there when the guards brought in the prince.
    Those four walls shut out from Prince Roman all sights and sounds of freedom, all hopes of the future, all comforting thoughts. How much love for Poland remained in him then? How much love of life? He stood before his judges alone, having refused their permission to sit. He answered their first formal questions — his name and so on — clearly and politely although he felt too weary to talk.
    Then the president of the court seemed to suggest how the young man could best help himself. He asked questions in a way that almost put the right answers in the prisoner's mouth.
    “Didn't your wife's death drive you to despair? Wasn't your mind unbalanced by that sad event ?”
    Prince Roman was silent.
    "You were not fully responsible for you conduct, were you?"
    Prince Roman was silent.
    "You made a sudden blind decision to join the rising. You didn't realize that your actions were dangerous and dishonourable. Isn't that the truth of this unfortunate matter?"
    The judges looked at the prisoner hopefully. In silence the prince reached for a pen and some paper. He wrote, "I joined the rising because I believe it was just." He pushed the paper towards the president, who took it and read it in silence.
    Prince Roman was sentenced to hard work for life in the Siberian salt mines. It was a sentence of delayed death.
    When Czar Nicholas read the report and sentence, he added in his own handwriting, "Make sure that this prisoner walks in chains every step of the way to Siberia."
    小题1:What does the passage tell us of Poland at the time?
    A．Polish officers in the Russian army had to return to Poland.
    B．Russia was at war with Poland, so the Poles were enemies.
    C．The Russians were very cruel rulers of Poland.
    D．It was ruled by Russia, and Poles served in the Russian army.
    小题2:How much love for Poland remained in the prince when he stood trial?
    A．Not much, probably, after the failure of the rising.
    B． More than he had ever felt before.
    C．As much as he had ever felt.
    D．The passage doesn't suggest an answer to the question.
    小题3:The questions which the president asked show that ______.
    A．he was trying to find excuse for the prince's conduct
    B．the court wanted the prince to admit his own guilt
    C．he wanted to learn the truth about the Polish rising
    D．Prince Roman was a weak person
    小题4:In the trial, Prince Roman ______.
    A．was afraid to be responsible for his actions
    B．blamed others for his actions
    C．accepted responsibility for his actions
    D．admitted his guilt
    小题5:According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
    A．The judges were less sympathetic than Czar Nicholas.
    B．Czar Nicholas was as kind as the judges.
    C．Czar Nicholas was not as sympathetic as the judges.
    D．The judges were as cruel as Czar Nicholas.

    At Blossom End Railroad Station, 22-year-old Stanley Vine sat, waiting for his new employer. The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France. After four horrible years as an army private fighting in Europe, Stanley had returned to England in February 1946. Armed now with some savings and with no prospects for a job in England, he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada. Two months later he was on his way.
    When the old car rumbled (发着辘辘声) toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five foot and four inches frame. The farmer, Alphonse Lapine, shook his head and complained, “You’re a skinny thing.” On the way to his dairy farm, Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids. “Money is tight. You’ll get room and board. You’ll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again. Ten dollars a week. Sundays off.” Stanley nodded. He had never been on a farm before, but he took the job.
    From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family. They made fun of the way he dressed and talked. He could do nothing right. The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake. The oldest son, 13-year-old Armand, constantly played tricks on him. But the kind-hearted Stanley never responded.
    Stanley never became part of the Lapine family. After work, they ignored him. He spend his nights alone in a tiny bedroom. However, each evening before retiring, he lovingly cared for the farmer’s horses, eagerly awaiting him at the field gate. He called them his gentle giants. On Saturday nights he hitch-hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm.
    Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared, after only six months as his farmhand. The railway station master, when questioned later that week, said he had not seen him. In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again. That is, until one evening, almost 20 years later, when Armand, opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline, “Millionaire jockey (赛马骑师), Stanley Vine, ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion, began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.”
    小题1:Stanley Vine decided to go to Canada because ___________.
    A．he wanted to escape from war-torn France
    B．he wanted to serve in the Canadian army
    C．he couldn’t find a job in England

    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Stanley joined the French army when he was 18 years old.
    B．On the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14 times a week.
    C．The Lapine family were very rich but cruel to Stanley.
    D．Stanely read about the job offer in a newspaper.
    小题3:What did Stanley like doing after work each day?
    A．Hitch-hiking to different towns.
    B．Caring for the farmer’s horses.
    C．Wandering around the farm alone.
    D．Preparing meals on the farm.
    小题4:Why was Armand so astonished when he read about Stanley in the magazine?
    A．He didn’t know Stanley had been a British soldier.
    B．He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man.
    C．He didn’t know his father paid Stanley so little money.
    D．He didn’t expect Stanley to become such a success.
