| It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step. "Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them. I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow. "Come in and I"ll make you a cup of hot cocoa." They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking. The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich?" "Am I rich? Pity, no!" I looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, "Your cups match your saucers." They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too. I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. 1. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Lady, are you rich? B. A story of Thanksgiving Day C. Don"t forget how rich you are D. Does cups and saucers match well? 2. The writer let the two children come in and served them well because________. A. she wanted to sell old papers to them B. she wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving party C. she showed great pity and care on them D. she had the same experience as them in the past 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy. B. The writer had thought she wasn"t rich because her supplies were not expensive. C. If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap. D. After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was. 4. The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________. A. show that she was a kindhearted lady B. remind her that she shouldn"t forget how rich she was C. leave room for readers to think about what being rich is D. prove that she had understood what meant being rich | |||
| She is a cute, quiet girl. As a daughter, she has no secrets from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But recently she has become somewhat mysterious, and not so open as before. She has a diary that she keeps under lock and key. Her mother cannot help worrying about her: what if she falls in love, which is too early for a girl of her age.After all she is reaching the "dangerous stage".These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother"s mind. One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late. This was the first time her mother agreed, and she couldn"t help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine and her uneasiness got the upper hand over her. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and-there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing had happened. "Mum I"m back." "Yeah." "Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?" "Yes, Oh, that…Who"s that boy?" The daughter was stunned for a moment. "Ah. It"s my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I"m going to bed." "All right. Go to sleep early." Next morning when the mother went to the daughter"s room to do some tidying, she found her diary left at her pillow. After a few minutes" hesitation she eventually opened it to the entry of the night before. It read: Mum, it"s love that made you ask, but it would show your understanding of me if you hadn"t.

| As a boy growing up in India,I had longed to travel abroad.I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s,with great interest. My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe,where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium,Netherlands and West Germany. I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand,during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable,even for someone like me,who is otherwise scared of flying. After spending almost two weeks in Europe,we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport,for our return flight.What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河),it was simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation,but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again,with the quality of their service. Being the first airline to take me overseas,Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart.Even today,I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying,in general,for me,has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). Flying on Lufthansa, however,is something I always have and always will look forward to. 1.
