阅读理解。     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．Which country does the author live in now? ______.

A．India.
B．Canada.
C．Belgium.
D．Germany.

2．What made the author so interested in traveling abroad?A．Growing up in India.
B．Once staying in Canada.
C．Once traveling to Canada with his father.
D．His father"s stories about his traveling experiences.3．Which of the following is TRUE about the author"s trip to Europe in 1998______.A．The author traveled with one of his parents.
B．Both their going and return are by air.
C．They traveled in spring that year.
D．They stayed in Europe for nearly two months.4．It can be inferred from the passage that Lufthansa is ________.A．a city in India
B．a city in Europe
C．an airline company
D．a travel agency5．The underlined word "sombre" in the 4th paragraph probably means "________"．A．happy

完形填空     Two soldiers both seriously wounded in a war shared the same hospital room. One man was __1__
to sit up in his bed for an hour a day. His bed was next to the room"s only window. The other man had to
spend all his time lying on his back on the only other bed in the room.
     Every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up and describe what he saw outside the
window, the man in the other bed would relive. The window  __2__   a park with a lovely lake, the man
had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while children   __3__  their model boats. Hearing the
description, the soldier on the other side of the room imagined the beautiful   __4__ with his eyes closed.
     One warm afternoon, a strange thought   __5__  the soldier: Why should his roommate have all the
__6__   of seeing everything while he never got to see anything? It seemed   __7__. The man felt
ashamed at first, but gradually his   __8__  turned into hatred and soon turned him bitter and angry. He
found himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window and this only thought now   __9__  his life.
     One day the man by the window died and the body was taken away.   __10__   it seemed
appropriate, the man asked the nurse if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to

     Slowly and painfully, he supported himself on one elbow to take his first look out of the window.
However, he saw nothing but a blank and dirty wall…
     So the pursuit of   __12__   isn"t a gift coming through the window. It"s a positive attitude we

    In 1969 I was a young girl working in Toronto. I was from a small town in Ontario and had just
moved to the big city about three months earlier. It was one week before Christmas and I was going
home on the last streetcar of the evening.
   I remember looking at my paycheque(工资单) and asking myself how it was going to endure. At
that time in my life I hardly had enough money to exist on. Bread for supper and oatmeal for breakfast
was the only way I kept hunger at bay.
   I got off the streetcar and started walking up the street, when I suddenly noticed a man was running
after me. I stopped, turned around, seeing that he was black. I snapped, "What do you want?" The man
answered in a soft voice, "I am returning your wallet. You left it on the streetcar seat."
   Because of that man"s thoughtfulness, I was allowed the comfort of going home by bus for the summer
holidays. Otherwise, I would have stayed alone in my small room with a hog plate.
   I have never been so ashamed of myself, and that poor, kind man had to walk, who knows how far,
home.
   I recognized immediately that this was wrong of me and it changed my ways forever.
