    My mansion

    　　Welcome to my mansion. Let me show you around. Oh, please leave your shoes by that marble door. Of course, my shoe servant will clean or polish them for you and have them ready when you leave.

    　　First, let's take the escalator down to the basement. The first door on our left leads to the bowling alley. It uses a computer system to keep score for you.

    　　Next, on the right, you'll notice the entrance to the indoor tennis courts. The blue surfaced court is a hard court, the green is carpeted, and the red one is clay.

    　　A basketball court? That's on the third floor. I'll show that to you later.

    　　This room over here, that's thirty tons of sand on the floor. No, it's not a big sandbox. You don't expect my cat to use a regular litter box, do you?

    　　At the end of the hall, let me open the door for you, you'll see the indoor swimming pool. It looks like a small lake. Cool, or what?

    　　Well, that's about it for this level, except for the arcade room, but that isn't quite finished yet. When it's done, there will be over 200 machines. Here, let's just take this elevator to the first floor.

    　　As we come out of the elevator, we can see the main kitchen. Naturally, it's staffed twenty-four hours a day. See that man over there? He's one of my hamburger chefs. No home should be without at least one hamburger chef. That woman over to the right, the one with the tomato sauce on her nose, she's the head pizza chef. I paid her big bucks to come here from Pizza Hut.

    　　Why don't we walk down to the far end of this hallway? I'll show you the television room. Yes, I know this looks more like a theater, but that screen is only 120 inches wide. The satellite and cable remote controls are built right into the arm rests of these reclining chairs.

    　　Hey, I've got to show you the computer room next. Then we can stop in the exercise room and…

    　　Oh, Mrs Plant, sorry, I guess I was daydreaming. My math? It's not done yet. I've got my name, my first name anyway, on the paper. My writing piece? Uh, is it OK if I write about the mansion I'm going to have someday?

    请简要回答下列各题

    1．Where does the narrator's mansion exist?

    2．Where is the narrator?

    3．Who is the narrator talking to?

    4．What would your dream house be like?

    　　He almost didn't see the old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help．So he pulled up in front her Mercedes and got out．

    　　Even with the smile on his face, she was worried．No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so．Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry．He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold．He knew how she felt．

    　　He said, “I am here to help you, ma'am．Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson．”

    　　Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough．Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two．Soon he was able to change the tire．But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt．

    　　As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him．She told him that she was from St．Louis and was just passing through．She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid．

    　　Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk．The lady asked how much she owed him．Any amount would have been all right with her．She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened, had he not stopped．Bryan never thought twice about being paid．This was not a job to him．This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were many people who had given him a hand in the past．He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way．

    　　He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, “And think of me．”

    　　He waited until she started her car and drove off．It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight．

    阅读理解。
         As a young boy, I lived in a poor suburban neighborhood. I often wandered around the
    neighborhood alone, and offered to help mow a lawn or wash some walls in exchange for
    some pocket money just to buy something I needed, such as some school clothes or candy.
         One day, I knocked at an old woman's door and asked if she needed her walls washed.
    She asked why I wasn't in school and I showed her my pants and shoes, which were torn
    and no longer keeping my feet warm. She allowed me to work in the yard for pretty much
    that entire day. When I was finished, I knocked on her door and she looked at me. "I
    suppose you want to be paid now," she said.
         "Yes, ma'am, I do."
         She asked what my fee was. I hadn't thought about this and made no answer. She said,
    "Well, come inside," and then she came in and pulled out a big jar which was filled with
    dollar bills. She said, "Though you've done a fine job today, that isn't something you should
    be doing again. I want you to buy some pants and new shoes and get back in school. I
    also want you to come back and visit me with your report card and I'll reward you when
    I see your good marks. Now reach in with your hands and take out as much as possible."
         I reached in and grabbed lots of money, which was enough for me to buy those I
    needed. I returned several times to see the woman and yes, she did just as she promised.
    She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and a sandwich every time
    I showed her I had an "A" or "B"．
         I'll never forget the huge difference this wonderful stranger made over my life with her
    generosity and kindness; this is something I hope to do myself in my life.

    1．What was the writer's purpose of helping his neighbors?(No more than 10 words)
    ________________________________________________________________________
    2．Why did the writer show the old woman his torn pants and shoes? (No more than 10
    words)
    ________________________________________________________________________
    3．On what condition would the old woman reward the writer? (No more than 8 words)
    ________________________________________________________________________

         To celebrities, what question is frequently asked besides their loving affairs? It's plastic surgery. And
    many perfect-looking pop stars keep denying they have changed their facial appearance. Some even get
    angry at any claims that they've been under the knife.
         So it was a bit shocking when Chinese singer Heng Yue boldly announced last month she would have
    plastic surgery, becoming the first celebrity to do so in the mainland.
         Heng, with a broad range and penetrating(有穿透力的)voice, had been invited to sing the theme
    song for Chen Kaige's film The Promise and TV drama such as Ma Dashuai and Liu Laogen. But the
    popularity of the songs shaded her. Her look just wasn't very charming.
         On March 24, Heng, who declined to reveal her age, endured2 18 operations on her face. It was a
    comprehensive 8-hour plastic surgery job including nose reshaping and eye operations, said to cost around 650,000 yuan.
         "I am so fond of singing," said Heng, "I'm hoping to go further in my career as a singer. However, I've
    found my plain looks are making me less competitive."
         Heng said that many TV shows were interested in her singing, but rejected her, saying that she looked
    just so so. So the chance went to someone who looked more attractive or charming on camera.
         Certainly, Heng's not the only star to go seeking perfection. Tian Yungcheng, a doctor specializing in
    plastic surgery, said that Heng was just one of about 200 stars he had operated on.
         "Whenever we turn on the TV, mose of the celebrity faces on stage, I believe, have had operation."
    Tian said.
         "Pop stars are reluctant to tell anyone about their surgery since they're under the pressure from the
    public who find it hard to accept fake beauty. But I don't see it as wrong if a person just wants to be
    perfect or have a more pleasant look for others to appreciate." Tian said.
    1．What does the underlined sentence "they've been under the knife" (in Para. 1) mean?
    A．They have been wounded with a knife.
    B．They have had operations on their faces.
    C．They have been threatened by people.
    D．They have been the victims of the operations.
    2. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Heng Yue?
    A．She has a gift for music.
    B．She keeps her age as a secret.
    C．She used to have an unattractive face.
    D．She was the first pop star to have plastic surgery.
    3. We can infer that         .
    A．Tian Yungcheng is well-known in celebrity circles
    B．most people support the beauty industry
    C．Tian Yungcheng is an attractive doctor
    D．people have little trouble in accepting fake beauty 
    4. Why did Heng Yue have plastic surgery?
    A．She wanted to be a pop star.
    B．She wanted to marry an attractive man.
    C．She wanted to be an actress.
    D．She wanted to be more competitive.
    5. Why do some stars get angry when asked about plastic surgery?
    A．Because they don't want to show off their beauty and wealth.
    B．Because they can't accept their fake beauty and status in their career.
    C．Because it's hard to explain to their fans.
    D．Because they may suffer the pressure from people if they tell the truth.
