阅读理解     When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr
Lee. I knew I could see Mr Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we
passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, "You let that be the last time you ever
walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail
when it passes you on the street." That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am.
      At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was
doing. But I also spoke to the people in the caf? and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them
how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no mater how humble
they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for
a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his
company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.
      I"ve become vicepresident, but that hasn"t changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever
I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too.
The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will
realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.

1. What is the best title of this passage?
A. The Power of Being Talkative
B. My Mother"s Influence on Me
C. The Power of Saying Hello

A. the writer didn"t like Mr Lee
B. the writer didn"t say hello to Mr Lee on that occasion
C. the writer didn"t get along well with his mother
D.the writer"s mother stopped to say hello to everyone she met

阅读理解。     I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until
I was injured in an accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.
     After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay
him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished.
He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was
responsible for my injury, I"d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a
good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
     But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three
patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to treat another. Yet he charged me $ 155
each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
     My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew
very well the other part was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited
to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him
$ 770.
     Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date
I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…And I left without getting a cent.
     My experience taught me two things about America: Firstly, in America money is everything. It is
more important than friendship, honor or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly
treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.1.The author"s roommate offered to help him because _____A.He felt sorry for the first time.
B.He thought it was a chance to make some money.
C.He knew the doctor was a very good one.
D.He wanted the author to have a good lawyer.2. A good doctor is essential for the author to_____.A. be properly treated
B. talk with the person responsible for the accident
C. recover before he leaves America
D. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury3. The underlined word "charge" in the second passage means"____".A. be responsible
B. accuse
C. ask as a price
D. claim4. What conclusion can you draw from the story?A. Going to court is something very common in America.
B. One must be very careful while driving a car.
C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides.
D. Money is more important than other things in America
