Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met us, 22  in bad weather. If someone    23  (and my brothers did a lot), he’d say in his    24  father-voice. “That’s what your legs are    25  !
One spring morning I was on the bus home from    26 . Tests and long hours in labs had    27  me exhausted. As other students were    28  at their stops. I looked silently out of the window. Finally, the bus came to a    29  at my destination, and I    30 , carrying my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
The row of privet hedge(树篱) came into    31 , which lined the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. I stopped to put a book in the suitcase. When I stood up, I saw something gray    32  along the top of the hedge toward the house.
It was the top of my father’s head. I    33  then, each time I came home, he would stand behind the hedge, watching,    34  he knew I had arrived safely. I held back my tears. He did care,   35 .
Upon reaching home, I found my father innocently in his chair. “So! It’s you!” he said, his face lengthening into surprise.

I heard the bees long before I saw them.
It was a very hot afternoon, and we decided to    21   in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water, my boyfriend John    22   started to shout and then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly    23    but I was too far away to jump. I was    24  .
I heard a low hum, which was growing louder. From a    25  , the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke. As it got closer, I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.
All I could do was    26   my face with my hands.    27  , I thought that if I sat very 28  , the bees would think I was just another rock.
After a few seconds, I knew my    29   had failed. The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down.
But it wasn’t so easy. The only way I could    30   was to use my hands to climb down the rocks. However, I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be    31  .
The noise the bees made was so loud and    32  , and I had no choice.
I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool. I was just so happy to be free from the pain and the water felt so    33  .
But we still weren’t out of    34  . Every time we tried to climb out, the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water until the bees finally lost    35  .

One night, a little before nine o’clock, Dr Johnson was answering a telephone call. He was asked to go and give an operation to a very sick boy at once. The boy was in a small hospital in Glens Falls, sixty miles away from Dr Johnson’s city – Albany. The boy had hurt himself in a traffic accident. His wife was in danger, but his family was so poor that they could not pay the doctor anything. After he heard all this, Dr Johnson was driving carefully. He thought that he could get to the hospital before 12 o’clock. A few minutes later, the doctor’s car had to stop for a red light at a crossing. Suddenly a man in an old black coat opened the door of the car and got in.
“Drive on”, he said. “I’ve got a gun (枪).”
“I’m a doctor,” said Johnson, “I’m on my way to a hospital to operate on a very sick…”
“Don’t talk,” said the man in the old black coat, “Just drive.”
A mile out of the town he ordered the doctor to stop the car and get out. Then the man drove on down the road. The doctor stood for a moment in the snow. After half an hour, Dr Johnson found a telephone and called a taxi. At the railway station he learned that the next train to Glens Falls would not leave until 12 o’clock.

Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me £12,” She said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12. ”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“Yes,” she answered shyly, “The beach was lovely. And I can swim, too!”
“That’s fine,” said Harry.
“My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”
“I’m four,” the child said proudly, “I’ll be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother, “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”
“Er, well---” the woman looked at the child, “I mean…she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”
“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…let me see…£13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe £1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine… ”
The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.
小题1:Harry was worried because ________.
A.the woman was angry with him
B.he had not done his work properly
C.the Jersey timetable was wrong
D.the little girl didn’t have a return ticket
小题2:Harry started talking to the little girl ________.
A.because he was in difficulty and did not know what to do

C.because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl who looked so nice
D.when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl
小题3:When Harry said, “The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…” he means that ________.
A.they must follow it without other choice, even though the fault was his
B.he had to be strict with the woman because of the law, although he didn’t want to
C.the woman had to pay him £1.50 and the railway would pay her for the hotel

I was in a strange city and I didn't know the city at all and what is more,I could not speak a word of the language. After having spent my first day in the town-centre,I decided to lose my way on my second day, since I believed that this was the simplest way of getting to know the strange city.
I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops then got it off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even then I pronounced it badly.
I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside.
The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station,
