My name is Ralph and I am 42 years old. I work in a factory that I enjoy very much. On May 27, 1999, I was working on an automatic machine. While working my hand was pulled into the machine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger. Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith. Life is going to go on with or without my finger. I was not going to let this take over my life and I pushed to go back to work and got light duty. This was where my lesson began. When I returned to work, I started getting comments and some teasing from people asking me if it was worth losing my finger over a pack of cigarettes. Someone started a rumor that I had dropped a pack of cigarettes and reached down to pick them up and that is how I lost my finger. This is not true. This rumor hurt more than losing my finger in that machine. Everyone was called in to a meeting to resolve this matter and get the story straight. I had to share my lesson. We can ruin a person’s life by just a few bad words. There is an old saying that I will never forget: “Words and water are easily poured, but impossible to recover.” So please remember to watch what you say. 小题1:According to the author, his index finger on his right hand is almost as long as ________.A.his middle finger on his right hand | B.his middle finger on his left hand | C.his thumb on his right hand | D.his thumb on his left hand | 小题2:From the second paragraph, we know that the author ________.A.was not happy with a short finger | B.had a good relationship with his wife | C.didn’t want to work any more in the factory | D.wanted to find an important job | 小题3:The rumour about the author is that he lost his finger ________.A.when he was picking up a pack of cigarettes that had fallen into the machine | B.because he was not careful and smoked when running the machine | C.because he was too sleepy to operate the machine properly | D.when he was reaching down to fix something wrong in the machine | 小题4:Which of the following can match the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?A.Nothing is really beautiful but truth. | B.Bad words are meaningless. | C.Lies having short legs can do harm. | D.Words cut deeper than swords. |
