    The old lady was glad to be back at the block of flats where she lived．Her shopping had tired her and the basket had grown heavier with each step of the way home．In the lift, her thoughts were on lunch and a good rest．But when she got out at her own floor, both were forgotten in her sudden discovery that her front door was open．She thought that she must tell her daily maid the next morning to lock the door, and then she remembered that she had gone shopping after the maid had left and she knew that she had turned both keys in their locks．She walked slowly into the hall and at once she saw a sight of confusion over by her writing desk．It was as clear as daylight then that burglars had forced into the house during her absence．Her first thought was to go around all the rooms to look for the thieves．But then she decided that at her age, it might be more reasonable to have someone with her．So she went to fetch the doorman from his basement．By this time, her legs were beginning to shake．So she sat down and accepted a cup of very strong tea, while she telephoned to the police．Then she was ready to set off with the doorman's help to search for any thieves who might still be hiding in her flat．

      阅读理解

      The world's greatest basketball player walked away from the game eighteen months ago. And now he takes to air once again.

    　　Mickael Jordan was the greatest player in the basketball game, and after he retired at the top of his game he vowed, “I'm never coming back to play basketball. Not in this lifetime. Never. Unless I change my mind. ” Sometimes in February this year, Jordan did change his mind.

    　　For the league, the timing couldn't be better. Without Jordan, ratings for the last season's playoff finals dropped 31 per cent. This season, things have only gotten worse. Despite the coming out of nice new stars like Shaquille O' Neal and Detroit's Grant Hill. The game's image has been riddled (full of something bad) with the cries of spoil sports and dissatisfaction.

    　　For the Bulls, the question is whether Jordan is in shape. According to reports, Jordan has in recent months worked out with the same personal trainer he used during his basketball career. And even in his retirement, he occasionally dropped by practice to train with the team. But that still doesn't mean he's in game shape. In workouts last month, Jordan's shot was off, but team-mate says his intensity was there. The Bulls players all say unhesitatingly they want him back.

    　　But to another audience, Jordan's career and comeback mean more than baskets and championships and market share. Now all across America, kids in struggling neighborhoods are his family and especially about his relationship with his father, James Jordan, who was murdered in 1993. Out here, to “be like Mike” can mean a lot more than knowing how to handle a basketball.

    (1)Which title best gives the idea of the passage?

    [　　]

    A．Michael Jordan, A Big Star and Hero

    B．Basketball in the United States

    C．Jordan Is Coming Back to the Court

    D．Jordan Changed His Mind

    (2)When did Jordan retire from the basketball court?

    [　　]

    A．He retired eighteen months before he vowed.

    B．After his father died, he was too sad to continue playing basketball.

    C．After a game, he walked away.

    D．When he was the most successful, he retired.

    (3)What is the problem for Jordan to come back to the Bulls?

    [　　]

    A．He was not strong enough to play the game.

    B．In workouts last months, Jordan's shot was off.

    C．The trainer didn't agree to accept him.

    D．The Bulls players hesitatingly want him back.

    (4)The underlined word "intensity" is closest in meaning to ________.

    [　　]

    A．force to do
    B．increase in strength
    C．strong-minded
    D．smart and skillful

    (5)We can infer from the passage that ________.

    [　　]

    A．children are talking about Jordan.

    B．Jordan has a good relationship with his father.

    C．Jordan means much more to children than playing basketball.

    D．Jordan's return made sure that the Bulls would win

    The way we do things round here

    　　Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank．I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us．" That "quite" saddened me．I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else．" Then I discovered that in American English "quite" sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly"．

    　　So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak．It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on．The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures(文化)．

    　　Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with．Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate(气候)，while getting on with business．

    　　Some of the differences may be an improvement．People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again．However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality(准时)．If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the

    　　American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece．I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive．It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country．

    阅读理解
         The 92-year-old, thin, calm and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, even
    though she is nearly blind, moved to a nursing home today.
         Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of
    waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.
         As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old
    sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old
    having just been presented with a new puppy.
      “Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room…just wait.”
      “That doesn’t matter,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I like
    my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged. It’s how I arranged my mind. I have
    already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. Each day is a gift, and
    as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.” She
    went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account. You take what you’ve put in. So, my advice to you
    would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling
    my memory bank.” And with a smile, she said, “All my memories are happy ones.”
         Mrs. Jones was always happy in the nursing home and she died at the age of 108.

    1. We can infer(推断) from the passage that the author________.

    A. is one of Mrs. Jones’ children

    B. is fairly big
    C. isn’t well equipped              
    D. is equipped with new furniture

    3. What does the underlined word “nursing home” mean?

    A. an institution where people are cared for
    B. a place where nurses live
    C. a place where blind people live              
    D. memory bank

    4. Mrs. Jones was very happy when told about her room because she________.

    A. couldn’t see what her room was like
    B. thought the nursing home was her home
    C. would have to live in the nursing home
    D. had already made up her mind to be happy

    5. Which of the following words can best describe Mrs. Jones?
