     It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night.The morning after the storm, though, was
beautiful:blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
     My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him.I was
only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same.I"m_so_glad_I_did.
     On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself
was in fairly good shape.After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel
to the sea.As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.
     On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby.We couldn"t believe it-there
aren"t any whales along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay,
in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
     The little baby whale-actually as big as our boat-was obviously stuck and could not move.The mother
dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves."She"s trying to
help her baby, but on the wrong side, "my father said.At this point, my father moved our boat in a
semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently.With our
several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water.Then it swam up right
beside its mum.They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started
heading in the wrong direction.We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay
channel.Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe-and to
give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight
from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
     In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for
almost an hour and a half.That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day.Nearly four decades later, I
still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.
1. The author says "I"m so glad I did."(in Para. 2)because    .
A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing
B. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea
C. he experienced the rescue of the whales
D. he spent the weekend with his family
2. The harbour survived the storm owing to ________.
A. the shape of the harbour
B. the arms of the bay
C. the still water in the channel
D. the long coast line
3. The mother whale failed to help her baby because ________.
A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too long
B. the whirlpools she had made were not big enough
C. she had no other whales around to turn to for help
D. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction
4. What is the theme of the story?
A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.
B. Fishing provides excitement for children.
C. It"s necessary to live in harmony with animals.
D. It"s vital to protect the environment.

     About 70 scientists were working on a very busy project.All of them felt really desperate due to the
pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of
quitting their job.
    One day,one scientist came to his boss and told him,"Sir,I"ve promised to take my children to the
exhibition going on in our township so I want to leave at 5:30 pm" His boss replied,"OK.You"re permitted
to leave the office early today."
     The scientist started working.He continued his work after lunch.As usual, he got involved to such an
extent that he looked at his watch only when he felt he was close to completion.The time was 8:30 pm.
Suddenly he remembered his promise to the children.He looked for his boss but he was not there.Having
told him in the morning himself, he closed everything and left for home.Deep within himself, he was feeling
guilty for having disappointed his children.He reached home.The children were not there.His wife alone
was sitting in the hall and reading magazines.The_situation_was_explosive;any_talk_would_boomerang_on_him.His wife asked him,"Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are
hungry?" The man replied,"If you would like to have coffee, I will have too, but what about the children?"
His wife replied,"You don"t know?Your boss came here at 5:15 pm and has taken them to the exhibition."
     What had really happened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working
seriously at 5:00 pm. He thought to himself:this person will not leave the work,but he"s promised to take
his children to the exhibition.So he took the lead in taking them there.The boss does not have to do it
every time.But once it"s done, loyalty is established.
     That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress
was extraordinarily huge.By the way,can you boldly guess who the boss was?He was none other than
the mastermind behind India"s successful nuclear weapons program,Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam,former
president of India.
1. The scientist asked for an early leave because________.
A. he felt increasingly desperate about his work

2. The underlined sentence implies that the scientist thought his wife was________.
A. dissatisfied with his coming home late
B. ready to serve dinner for him
C. grateful to his kindhearted boss
D. delighted to see him back home
3. The boss took the children to the exhibition________.

B. because the scientist was absorbed in his work
C. because he also wanted to see what was on show
D. when the man"s wife asked him to do so

     For years I wanted a flower garden.I"d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that
would look nice together.
     But then we had Matthew.And Marvin.And the twins,Alisa and Alan.And then Helen.Five children.
I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
     Money was tight,as well as time.Often when my children were little,one of them would want
something that cost too much, and I"d have to say,"Do you see a money tree outside?Money doesn"t
grow on trees, you know."
     Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again
about having a garden.
     I wasn"t sure,though.I mean,gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on
a pretty lean,nofrills budget.
     Then, one spring morning, on Mother"s Day, I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly,I realized that
cars were tooting their horns as they drove by.I looked out of the window and there was a new tree,
planted right in my yard.I thought it must be a weeping willow,because I saw things blowing around on
all its branches.Then I put my glasses on-and I couldn"t believe what I saw.There was a money tree in
my yard!
      I went outside to look.It was true!There were dollar bills,one hundred of them,taped all over that
tree.  Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note
attached:"IOU eight hours of digging time.Love,Marvin."
     Marvin kept his promise,too.He dug up a nice tenbyfifteen foot bed for me.And my other children
bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis(棚架),a sunflower stepping stone and gard
ening books.
     That was three years ago.My garden"s now very pretty, just like I wanted.When I go out and weed
or tend my flowers, I don"t seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they are right
there with me.
     I live up in Michigan"s Upper Peninsula,where winters are long and cold, and summers are too
short.But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers. I"ll
see next spring in my little garden.I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my
eyes-every time.
     I"m still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does!    
1. By saying "Do you see a money tree outside…”the mother actually means "________".
A. Observation is the best teacher
B. Seeing is believing
C. The outsider sees the most of the game
D. It is not easy to gain money
2. The best title for the passage would probably be________.
A. My flower garden
B. Marvin helps to realize my dream
C. Love in Michigan
D. Money grows on trees
3. The underlined word "nofrills"in the fifth paragraph is similar in meaning to________.

A. wasteful  
B. tight
C. absurd  
D. helpful

4. From the passage we can infer that the mother is________.
A. divorced when she was young
B. not caring for her kids any longer
C. alone but not at all lonely
D. prouder with her garden than with her kids
