  We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. What invariably happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at precisely the same moment. It is as if a single unimportant event set up a chain of reactions. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this marks the prelude(序幕)to an unforeseen(意料之外的)series of catastrophes(大祸). While you are on the phone,the baby pulls the table-cloth off the table, smashing half your best crockery(陶器)and cutting himself in the process. You hang up hurriedly and attended to baby, crockery, etc. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this were not enough to reduce you to tears, your husband arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.

  Things can go wrong on a big scale as a number of people recently discovered in Parramatta, a suburb of Sydney. During the rush hour one evening two cars collided and both drivers began to argue.The woman immediately behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly got into a panic and stopped her car. This made the driver following her brake hard. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the windscreen and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a lorry-diver who was drawing up alongside the car, pulled up all of a sudden. The lorry was loaded with empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the vehicle and on to the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the lorry-driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two stray dogs benefited from all this confusion, for they greedily devoured what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days!

1.What would have most upset the woman the day every thing went wrong for her?

[  ]

A.She had not expected her husband to arrive so early.

B.The meal she had cooked for the three guests had got burnt.

C.Her husband had not told her he was bringing anyone to dinner.

D.She had not got enough crockery left to serve the meal with.

2.There was a second angry argument because _____.

[  ]

A.the lorry driver blamed the owner of the cake for his accident

B.the traffic was extremely slow to get on the move again

C.the lorry-driver did not think he should be made to sweep up the glass

D.two dogs had devoured what was left of the cake

3.In the sentence“It is as if a single unimportant event set up a chain of reactions”,“set up”means“_____”.

[  ]

A.establish    B.build

C.cause     D.fix

4.According to the passage,the lorry stopped suddenly _____.

[  ]

A.in order not to hit the car in front

B.in order to draw up alongside the car

C.because the driver didn't want to run over the dogs

D.because the driver has seen a cake in the air

  Nelson Mandela's greatest pleasure, his most private moment, is watching the sun set with the music of Handel or Tchaikovsky playing.

  Locked up in his cell during daylight hours, robbed of music, both these simple pleasures were denied him for decades.With his fellow prisoners, concerts were organised when possible, particularly at Christmas time, where they would sing.Nelson Mandela finds music very uplifting, and takes a keen interest not only in European classical music but also in African choral music and the many talents in South African music.But one voice stands out above all - that of Paul Robeson, whom he describes as our hero.

  The years in jail strengthened habits that were already fixed:the disciplined eating rule of an athlete began in the 1940s, as did the early morning exercise.Still today Nelson Mandela is up by 4.30am, irrespective of how late he has worked the previous evening.By 5am he has begun his exercise routine that lasts at least an hour.Breakfast is by 6.30, when the day's newspapers are read.The day's work has begun.

  With a standard working day of at least 12 hours, time management is critical and Nelson Mandela is extremely impatient with unpunctuality, regarding it as insulting to those you are dealing with.

  Mandela accepted the Nobel Peace Prize as an accolade to all people who have worked for peace and stood against racism.It was as much an award to his person as it was to the ANC and all South Africa s people.In particular, he regards it as a tribute to the people of Norway who stood against the racial segregation while many in the world were silent.

(1)

Which of the following music forms does Mandela NOT enjoy?

[  ]

A.

European classical music.

B.

African choral music.

C.

Christmas songs.

D.

South African music.

(2)

Why did not Nelson Mandela enjoy watching the sunset for years?

[  ]

A.

Because he was occupied in the State Affair.

B.

Because he was in prison then.

C.

Because he was busy enjoying different music.

D.

Because he was ready do get a new hobby.

(3)

What's Nelson Mandela's attitude towards time management?

[  ]

A.

Neglecting time means being rude to others.

B.

Time is money and wasting time is killing oneself.

C.

He is impatient with time management.

D.

Unpunctuality should be criticized.

(4)

What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

[  ]

A.

He was once an athlete.

B.

He was forced to form a habit.

C.

He has a strict diet.

D.

He doesn't often think his work much.

(5)

Why does he regard the Nobel Peace Prize as a tribute to the people at Norway?

[  ]

A.

Because he thinks the people of Norway are great.

B.

Because he thinks it was the people of Norway that trust him.

C.

Because he thinks the Nobel Peace Prize is valuable.

D.

Because he thinks the Nobel Peace Prize stands for being against racial discrimination.
