fast food restaurant. On my way in, a __1__ man approached me and asked, "Do you have any
bottles lying around?" I knew he would __2__ them for a few cents, but I didn"t have any, so I

he was still in good __5__. From the way he spoke I could tell he was __6__.
     Then I bought one hamburger and enjoyed my meal, but in the back of my __7__ I wondered
whether the homeless man was hungry. After I finished my __8__ I decided to order another one
for him. At this point I didn"t know if he was still around, but I __9__ anyway.
     At the __10__ I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, because it w

     Shopping for clothes is not the same    1   for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping
because he needs something. His purpose is   2  and decided in __3__. He knows what he wants,
and his __4__ is to find it and buy it. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what
they want. If the shop has it in stock, the  _5   can be and often is completed in less than five minutes,
with hardly any chat and to everyone"s __6__. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop
does not have what he wants. In that case the salesman tries to sell the customer something else-he offers
the nearest to the article  _7  . Good salesman brings out such a substitute with __8__: "I know this
jacket is not the __9   you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the      10
you mentioned." Few men have     11    with this treatment, and the  12  response is: "This is the right
color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on."
     For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the    13    way. Her shopping is not often     14
on need. She has     15   fully decided what she wants, and she is only "having a look round". She is
always      16   to persuasion, willing to try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought
of finding something that everyone thinks     17    her. Most women have an excellent sense of     18
and are always on the look-out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman
may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another _ 19__ coming across the dresses she wants to
try on. It is a tiresome process, but obviously a(n)    20     one.

     Angus MacLeod was fifty and he had spent his entire life as a shepherd in the remote mountainous
region of northwest Scotland. He had never owned a radio or television nor had he travelled further
than forty kilometres from his birthplace. His knowledge of the world was gained only from his brief
trips to the village to sell his sheep and buy food. However, he had lately come to rely on the growing
number of hillwalkers in the region as sources of international news.
     In the spring of 1992, a Spanish student came across Angus high in the mountains. Eager to practise
his English he engaged Angus in conversation. The student told Angus of the forthcoming Olympic
Games in Barcelona. Excited by the student"s colourful description of Spain and the Games, Angus
decided to attend the event in person and two months later arrived in Barcelona.
     The ticketless Angus stood outside the stadium with his canny brain working overtime, watching a
growing number of individuals entering the stadium through a small entrance at the side. He noticed
that they all seemed to be carrying objects. Perhaps they were workmen, he thought. He moved closer
and watched.
     Within minutes a thin young man came along carrying an extremely long pole. He approached the
official at the door and said "Pole Vault". The official moved to the side and the man entered. Next
came a heavyset man with a spear. Angus wondered how a man could carry such a dangerous
weapon in a modern city. The man shouted "Javelin" and was presently admitted. Angus was puzzled.
Perhaps they were all connected with security. His puzzlement grew when a huge man appeared with
a steel ball in his hand. He shouted"Shot Putt" and walked past the official.
     It suddenly dawned on Angus that these people were competitors. He opened his programme and
sure enough under the heading "events" he saw the three words the men had said. Angus laughed to
himself as a plan began to take shape in his mind. First he needed to buy one or two things.
     An hour later he reappeared dressed in a tracksuit with "Scotland" written across the chest. Over
his shoulder he carried a roll of barbed wire (铁丝网). Smiling to himself he walked up to the official
and as casually as he could, shouted, "Fencing!"

1. Which was Angus" new way to know the outside world?

A. Travelling from his birthplace.
B. Talking to hillwalkers in the region.
C. Going to the nearby village to sell sheep.
D. Buying food in other places.

2. What are "Pole Vault", "Javelin", "Shot Putt" and "Fencing" in the passage?

A. Olympic events.
B. Names of competitors.
C. The thing they carried with.
D. The countries they came from.

3. From the passage we can learn that ______.

A. the Spanish student went to Scotland to practice his English
B. Angus became a member of the Scottish Olympic team
C. Angus believed that weapons were necessary to the security of the Games
D. the Spanish student"s description of his country and the Games excited Angus

4. In the passage, Angus seemed to be ______.

A. poorlyinformed
B. intelligent
C. strongminded
D. athletic

5. What do you expect the official would do in the end?

A. Check the security of the wire.
B. Lead him to the court.
C. Refuse to let him in.
D. Examine him closely.

     My mind went blank when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of
the garage. This can"t be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, cold, against my head, and I heard
my friend Jeremy saying, "What do you want? Take my wallet," but at the time I thought of nothing.
     I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember
the walk to the house-Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the
gunmen"s voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow.
I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun
hitting Jeremy"s head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember
the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy, and I remember wondering how far I
could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across t
he street, I didn"t crouch(蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead.
     I remember thinking there was something ridiculous and illogical about screaming "Help, help!" at
eight o"clock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea(恳求) to the more specific
"Help, let me in, please let me in!" But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I
heard Jeremy"s screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled.
     The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped
Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to come
until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely, "Please go
and eat. We"re O.K."
     I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of bringing
back the death penalty(处罚) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I was thinking,
they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldn"t
change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these
contented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes talking about all the guns they
were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me?
     People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out in
force twenty minutes later. They were ill-tempered about what was, to them, much trouble about
nothing. After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to describing the
gunmen. "Typical," said one policeman when we couldn"t even agree on how tall the men were.
Both of us were able to describe the guns in horrifying detail, but the two policemen who stayed
to make the report didn"t think that would be much help.
The policemen were matter-of-fact about the whole thing. The thin one said, "That was a stupid thing to do, throwing away the keys. When a man has a gun against your head you do what you"re told." Jeremy looked properly embarrassed.
Then the fat policeman came up and the thin one went to look around the outside of the house. "That was the best thing you could have done, throwing away the keys," he said. "If you had gone into the house with them…" His voice became weaker. "They would have hurt her" --- he twisted his head toward me - "and killed you both." Jeremy looked happier. "Look," said the fat policeman kindly, "there"s no right or wrong in the situation. There"s just luck."
All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time --- no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right. There"s only luck. The next time I might end up dead.
And I"m sure there will be a next time. It can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. Security is an illusion(幻觉); there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, but they"re fooling themselves.

1. When the writer saw the gun pointing against the car window, ______.

A. she felt very annoyed
B. she lost consciousness
C. she felt very much nervous
D. she lost the power of thinking

2. What most possibly drove the two gunmen away?

A. Jeremy"s fighting
B. The author"s screaming
C. Their neighbour"s brave action
D. The police"s arrival

3. The police were rather angry because ______.

A. the author was not hurt and gave a false alarm
B. they thought it was a case of little importance
C. the author and Jeremy could not tell the police anything
D. the gunmen had already fled when they arrived on the scene

4. What the author wants to tell us is that______.

A. neighbors are not helpful in moments of difficulty
B. the police are not reliable when one is in trouble
C. security is impossible as long as people can have guns
D. preventing robbers entering your house is the best choice

     We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then
we"re dissatisfied that the kids aren"t old enough and we"ll be more  1  when they are. After that, we"re
frustrated that we have  2  teenagers to deal with. We"ll certainly be happy when we are out of that  3  .
   We tell ourselves that our life will be  4   when we get a nice car, are able to go on a nice vacation
and when we retire.
   But the 5  is: there is no better time to be happy than right now. Your life will always be filled with
challenges. It"s best to  6   this and decide to be happy anyway.
   One my  7  quotes (语录) comes from Alfred D. Souza, who said, "For a long time it had seemed to
me life was about to begin---real life. But there was always some  8 in the way." This viewpoint has
helped me to see that there is no  9  to happiness. Happiness is the way itself. So, 10 every moment that
you have now and share it with your loved ones… and 11  that time waits for no one.
   So,   12   waiting until you finish school, until you go to university, until you start work, until you find a
boy or girl friend, until you get married, until you get a new car or home, until you have kids, until your
kids leave the house, until you get   13  , until you get remarried, until you retire, until spring, until
summer,…
