When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.” Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜) all your life! 小题1:What did the writer’s father do after he heard her complaints(抱怨)?A.He agreed with her “enemy”. | B.he let her continue to put up with her “enemy”. | C.He told her to write down all her “enemy” had said about her. | D.He told her not to pay attention to what her “enemy” had said. | 小题2:The writer felt________ when she did the things as her father had told her.A.surprised | B.angry | C.disappointed | D.sad | 小题3:Which of the following can we know from the passage?A.The “enemy” thought the writer was pretty. | B.The “enemy” thought the writer studied hard. | C.The writer and her “enemy” became best friends at last. | D.The writer is grateful to her father. | 小题4:Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A.My Parents | B.A Serious Criticism(批评) | C.What People Say About You Is Always Right | D.The Best Advice I Ever Had |

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. Of course, he delivered (分发) more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write a note — “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”. Then she put the note and the empty bottles into the milk box. The next day, the buttermilk would magically appear. There was also a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box in the house, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery. I am sad that there is no home milk delivery today. Big companies produce cheaper milk, and milk is for sale everywhere. People may not need the milkman anymore. Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside and it brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and put it outside the door. My son’s friends always ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship with his milk. 小题1:The milkman delivered milk to family _____ in the old days.A.by car | B.by bike | C.on foot | D.by truck | 小题2:The writer’s mother put the note _____.
