alone __12__ she came out to say good night and once again __13__ for the mistake she had made.
A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed, there on my bed __14__ a beautiful little cushion

__16__ again.

D. stopped | | 阅读理解 | It was Molly"s job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work.
One morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him a second paper bag. This one was worn and held together with staples (书钉).
"Why two bags?" her father asked."The other is something else, " Molly answered."What"s in it? ""Just some stuff (东西). Take it with you."
Not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both sacks into his briefcase, kissed Molly and rushed off.
At midday he opened Molly"s bag and took out the contents:two hair ribbons (丝带), three small stones,
a plastic dinosaur, a tiny sea shell, a small doll, and 13 pennies...The busy father smiled, finished eating,
and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, Molly"s stuff included.
That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper."Where"s my bag? " "What bag?" "The
one I gave you this morning." "I left it at the office, my dear." "I forgot to put this note in it," she said.
"And, besides, Daddy, the things in the sack are the things I really like. I thought you might like to play
with them. You didn"t lose the bag, did you, Daddy?" "Oh, no," he said, lying. "I just forgot to bring it
home. I"ll bring it tomorrow."While Molly hugged her father"s neck, he unfolded the note that read, "I
love you, Daddy." Molly had given him her treasures-all that a 7yearold held dear.
Love was in a paper bag, and he missed it-not only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket.
So he went back to the office. Just ahead of the night janitor (看门人), he picked up the bag from the
wastebasket. He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully. The bag didn"t look so good, but
the stuff was all there and that"s what counted.
After dinner, he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack. It took  a long time to tell.
Everything had a story or a memory.
"Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life." he thought. We should all remember that
it"s not the destination that counts in life, but the journey. That journey with the people we love is all that
really matters. It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten. | | 1. Why did Molly give her father a second bag? | A. She didn"t want to keep the things in the Bag.
B. She hoped those things would bring happiness to her father.
C. She wanted to remind her father of the stories behind the things.

D. her | | 阅读理解 | Both my parents came from towns in Mexico.Then I was born in El Paso, Texas, and when I was
four, my family moved to a housing project in East Los Angeles.
Even though we struggled to make ends meet, my parents stressed to me and my four brothers and
sisters how fortunate we were to live in a great country with limitless opportunities.They influenced us
with the concepts of family, faith and nationalism.
I got my first real job when I was ten.My dad injured his back working in a cardboardbox factory
and was retrained as a hairstylist.He rented space in a little shopping mall and gave his shop the fancy
name of Mr Ben"s Coiffure.
The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three
nights a week, which meant getting up at 3 a. m..To pick up rubbish, Dad used a little machine that
looked like a lawn mower.Mom and I emptied garbage cans and picked up litter by hand.It took two
to three hours to clean the lot.I"d sleep in the car on the way home.
I did this for two years, but the lessons I learned have lasted a lifetime.I acquired discipline and a
strong work ethic (道德), and learned at an early age the importance of balancing life"s competing
interests-in my case, school, homework and a job.This really helped during my senior year of a high
school, when I worked 40 hours a week flipping burgers at a fastfood joint while taking a full load of
college preparation courses.
The hard work paid off.I attended the US Military Academy and went on to receive graduate degrees
in law and business from Harvard.Later, I joined a big Los Angeles law firm and was elected to the
California State Assembly (州议会). In these jobs and in everything else I"ve done, I have never
forgotten those nights in the parking lot.Theexperience taught me that there is dignity in all work and that
if people are working to provide for themselves and their families that is something we should honor.
1. Before my father got injured, we________.
A. didn"t like living in the USA
B. lived a poor but happy life
C. were lucky to move to the USA
D. had many ways to make money
2. When he recovered, to make a living my father________.
A. ran a small shopping mall
B. did a parttime job
C. worked as a barber
D. became a street cleaner
3. Working in the parking lot for two years had taught me________.
A. how to obey school discipline
B. how to do two things well at a tim e
C. that discipline and work were of equal value
D. that I must do as many things as possible at a time
4. The author tells us in the last paragraph that we should be proud of those who________.
A. have done all kinds of jobs
B. are cleaning the parking lot
C. have achieved a lot in their lives
D. are bearing their responsibilities | 最新试题
