“Where is the bus? Why is it always late?” I asked myself. I was going to be late 21 the manager wasn’t going to be pleased. “Thank God, here it is!” The bus came round the corner and I got on. Ten minutes later I was walking into the bank 22 I work. “Twenty-five past nine. I 23 the manager doesn’t notice.” But I was not 24 .
“Smith!” shouted the manager. “Late again. What’s your 25 this time?” “I am afraid the bus was late, Mr. Brown.” “ 26 up earlier tomorrow! Anyway, go to your place at the counter（柜台）. We’ll be opening in a few minutes.”
My first customer was a pretty girl wearing a red dress. 27 her was a young man of about 25. He seemed very 28 , and every few seconds he looked towards the main entrance. The girl drew some money and asked about opening a（an） 29 . I gave her necessary 30 and she went out. Then, I noticed a tall man by the door, carrying something 31 with brown paper. Turning to my 32 customer, I was frightened to see a gun 33 out of his coat. The next moment a loud noise 34 my ears. Everything went black. I was falling… It seemed to be a long time 35 I opened my eyes and I found myself in bed! 36 shaking from the memory of this terrible dream, I got dressed and ran out of the house. 37 , the bus wasn’t on time, and I got to the bank at 9:25.
“Smith!” the manager cried out in a voice like thunder. “ 38 of your excuses! Start work at once!” To my 39 , the first customer was a girl in a red dress and behind her stood a man carrying something wrapped in brown paper. The 40 ! Sometimes life is full of coincidences（巧合）!

举一反三
I cheated on a unit test in math class this morning during second period with Mr. Burke. Afterward, I was too sick to eat lunch just thinking about it.
I came straight home from school, went to my room, and lay on the floor trying to decide whether it would be better to run away from home now or after supper. Mostly I wished I was dead. It wasn"t even an accident that I cheated.
Yesterday Mr. Burke announced there"d be a unit test and anyone who didn"t pass would have to come to school on Saturday, most particularly me, since I didn"t pass the last unit test. I did plan to study just to prove to him that I"m plenty smart—which I am mostly—except in math.
Anyway, I got my desk ready to study on . Just when I was ready to work, Nicho came into my room with our new rabbit and it jumped on my desk and knocked the flashcards all over the floor. What a mess! Nicho and I finally took the rabbit outside but then Philip came to my room and also Marty from next door and before long it was dinner.
After dinner my father said I could watch a special on television if I"d done all my homework. Of course I said I had. That was the beginning. I felt terrible telling my father a lie about the homework.
It was nine o"clock when I got up to my room and that was too late to study for the unit test so I lay in my bed with the light off and decided what I would do the next day when I was in Mr. Burke"s math class not knowing the 8- and 9-times tables. So, you see, the cheating was planned after all.
The next day, I"d go into class as usual, acting like things were going just great. I"d sit down next to Stanley Plummer—he is so smart in math it makes you sick—and from time to time, I"d glance over at his paper to copy the answers.
Lying on the floor of my room, I begin to think that probably I"ve been bad all along. It just took this math test to clinch it. I"ll probably never tell the truth again. I tell my mother I"m sick when she calls me to come down for dinner. She doesn"t believe me, but puts me to bed anyhow. I lie there in the early winter darkness wondering what terrible thing I"ll be doing next when my father comes in and sits down on my bed.
"What"s the matter?" he asks. "I"ve got a stomachache," I say. Luckily, it"s too dark to see his face. "Is that all?" "Yeah." "Mommy says you"ve been in your room since school." "I was sick there too," I say. "She thinks something happened today and you"re upset." That"s the thing that really drives me crazy about my mother. She knows things sitting inside my head the same as if I was turned inside out.
"Well," my father says. I can tell he doesn"t believe me. "My stomach is feeling sort of upset." I hedge. "Okay," he says and he pats my leg and gets up.
Just as he shuts the door to my room I call out to him in a voice I don"t even recognize as my own. "How come?" he calls back not surprised or anything. So I tell him I cheated on this math test. To tell the truth, I"m pretty much surprised at myself. I didn"t plan to tell him anything.
He doesn"t say anything at first and that just about kills me. I"d be fine if he"d spank me or something. And then he says I"ll have to call Mr. Burke. It"s not what I had in mind. "Now?" I ask surprised. "Now," he says. He turns on the light and pulls off my covers. "I"m not going to," I say.
But I do it. I call Mr. Burke, and I tell him exactly what happened, even that I decided to cheat the night before the test. He says I"ll come on Saturday to take another test, which is okay with me, and I thank him a whole lot for being understanding and all.
"Today I thought I was turning into a criminal," I tell my father when he turns out my light. Sometimes my father kisses me good night and sometimes he doesn"t. I never know. But tonight he does.

Florence Nightingale（南丁格尔） was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.
As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.
At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided.
“Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.
“Then I will make it so, “she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for home. During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen — and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work.
Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.
After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.
Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.

When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, Leonard Bernstein gave a concert in Berlin, including Beethoven"s Ode to Joy, with the word "Joy" changed to "Freedom" in the lyrics sung．The orchestra（管弦乐队）were drawn from both East and West Germany, as well as the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States．
Freedom was in the air and it was not just for people． The wall between East and West Germany had also kept a large population of wild pigs within the eastern forests of Brandenburg．The wall"s falling down made it easier for the big pigs—a very big one can weigh over 300 pounds—to leave the woodlands and walk into the town． Warm winters and easy access to food have helped the population increase． Now about 10,000 wild pigs walk around Berlin．
The nature of the beast has added to the boom（兴旺）．"The pigs are intelligent," says Marc Franusch, a spokesman for the Berlin forestry department． "They learn to use the neighborhoods．They get used to people, dogs, and traffic．"
The wild pigs tend to travel in small groups and have been found searching rubbish and gardens, feeding their piglets（小猪）in the shadow of parked cars, and crossing busy roads．On average, the animals are involved in one traffic accident every day． And despite the fact that it"s illegal, some Berliners have been known to give the pigs food．
Though wild pigs are protected under German law, the city"s forestry department is permitted to kill 2,000 of the creatures every year, targeting mostly young adult animals in forests surrounding Berlin． Pigs within city limits are only shot if they make an immediate threat．No humans have yet been seriously wounded by them, but local dogs have been the victims of their tusks． "The forestry department is not aiming to get rid of the pigs," explains Franusch, "but we do have to reduce dangerous situations．"
小题1:The concert in the first paragraph is given to ．| A．celebrate Bernstein"s success | B．remind people of fighting for rights | | C．show the artists" delight of life | D．express people"s joy for freedom |
小题2:The following factors contribute to the boom of wild pigs EXCEPT ．| A．the Berlin Wall | B．adequate food | | C．their own nature | D．warm winter |
小题3:From the text we can know that ．| A．in Berlin people can never kill any wild pig | | B．it is against law to offer food to wild pigs | | C．wild pigs each weigh more than three hundred pounds | | D．traffic accidents are mainly caused by wild pigs in Berlin |
小题4:The article mainly talks about ．| A．why wild pigs in Berlin enjoy so much freedom | | B．when wild pigs were united in Berlin | | C．how wild pigs are living in Berlin | | D．what damage wild pigs have done to Berliners |
