阅读理解。     The old man walked with a cane (拐杖) slowly into the restaurant. His poor jacket, patched(打补丁的) trousers, and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that shone like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips held in a
steady smile.
    He walked toward a table by the window. A young waitress watched him and ran over to him, saying, "Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that chair."
  Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank you. She pulled the chair away from the table.
Supporting him with one arm, she helped him move in front of the chair, and get comfortably seated.
Then she pushed the table up close to him, and leaned his cane against the table where he could reach it.
     In a soft, clear voice he said, "Thank you, Miss."
     "You are welcome, Sir." She replied. "My name is Mary. I"ll be back in a moment. If you need
anything, just wave at me!"
     After he had finished a hearty meal of pancakes, bacon, and lemon tea, Mary brought him the change,
helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She handed him his cane, and walked with
him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, "Come back and see us, Sir!"
     He nodded a thank you and said softly with a smile, "You are very kind!"
     When Mary went to clean his table, she was shocked. Under his plate she found a business card and
a note written on the napkin(餐巾纸), under which was a $100 bill.
     The note on the napkin read, "Dear Mary, I respect you very much, and you respect yourself, too. It
shows by the way you treat others. You have found the secret of happiness. Your kind gestures will shine
though those who meet you."
     The man she had served was the owner of the restaurant. This was the first time that she, or any of
his workers, had seen him in person.1. Mary ran over to the old man because___________. A. the old man was the boss of the restaurant
B. She was worried that the old man might cause trouble to the restaurant
C. the old man had asked her to wait on him
D. she saw the old man had some difficulty moving and taking a seat2. The man came to the restaurant___________.A. to have breakfast

C. to find out how the workers in his restaurant were working

B. respecting others means respecting oneself
C. serving others is a respectable job
D. Mary would get a rise as a result of her kindness4. Which of the following titles goes best with the story?A. Shining Kindness

阅读理解。     Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents"
home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City,where I
was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台)I said
hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
     I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I
stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to
at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend"s. We chatted on the way into the city,and
when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.
     I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward,I received a Christmas
present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later,I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car
and found that I"d left the lights on all day,and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that the
Friendly Ford dealership一a shop selling cars一was right next door. I walked over and found two
salesmen in the showroom.
     "Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?"I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup
truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment,so when I got home,I wrote them a note
to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write
him and say thank you,and it meant a lot,he said.
     Another few years had passed when a friend"s husband died. Pat had been a well-respected doctor
at a big hospital, and hundreds of cards were sent to the family. Among them was a sympathy card from
a plumber who had once worked at their house. He wrote that when Pat had paid the bill, he wrote on
the invoice(发票), "Thank you for a good job."
     "Thank you"一two powerful words. They"re easy to say and mean so much.1. Where did the writer meet with the old couple for the first time? A. About  50 miles from Denver.
B. On the way to his friend"s.
C. In his parents" home.
D. At a certain gas station.2. From this passage we know that_______.A. the writer didn"t visit his friends in the end
B. the writer sent the old couple a Christmas package
C. the old couple received thanks from the writer
D. the old couple helped the writer repair his car3.One of the salesmen in the Friendly Ford wrote back to the  writer probably because______.A. only a few customers would write him for his help
B. the writer"s thanks note was meaningful to him
C. the writer was humorous and friendly
D. he wanted to make friends with the writer4. How many stories did the writer tell in the passage? A. Two
B. Three
C. Four
D. Five

     Autumn is a    7 season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me   8   . But one day,
the sound of a violin    9 into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains. I was so
surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was    10 in playing
her violin.
     I had   11   seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn"t
know that I had been   12   there for so long but my existence (存在) did not seem to disturb her.
     Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building    13 I went
downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and
life became    14   .    15 we didn"t know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I
believe she also loved me.
     Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly   16   . To
my astonishment (惊讶), the girl came over to me.
    "You must like violin." she said.
     "Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?" I asked.
     Suddenly, a   17   expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual. "I came
here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening
every day that   18   me." she said.
     "In fact, it was your playing    19 gave me a meaningful autumn," I answered, "Let"s be friends."
     The girl smiled, and so did I.
     I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick
leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure (身影) of the girl. She is like a   20
-so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.

Uncle Tom gave little Vicki Black a birthday gift one week before her birthday. He told her not to open it until her birthday. She knew her mother wouldn"t tolerate any disrespect to the kind man who helped them out after Vicki"s father passed away. Besides, Vicki didn"t want Uncle Tom to get angry. But little Vicky didn"t want to just hold it and guess what was in it. After all, she looked forward to his coming to show her interesting things, like how to turn an old sock into a doll. All the day, Vicki couldn"t stop thinking about the gift. While her teacher was giving a lecture? Vicki sat still in her seat, drawing paper dolls inside the box. When school was done, she raced home. Walking into the room, again, she shook the present, but she heard nothing. Holding her breath, she opened the box and looked inside. Seconds later, she cried. When Mrs. Black saw the box, she said angrily, "Didn"t I tell you to leave it alone?" Vicki sobbed and said, "Mommy, you don"t understand." "Don"t cry to me. You have missed everything now, just because you couldn"t wait," Mrs. Black accused. "What will Uncle Tom think now?" "Uncle Tom gave me nothing," Vicki cried and handed the empty box to her mother. "He played a trick on me." Mrs. Black said doubtfully, "Uncle Tom is not like that. You must have dropped it." Vicki kept crying. Only a rapid knock on the door made the house quiet. It was Uncle Tom. He looked at the empty box. "You have already done it? I told you to wait for your birthday." "You didn"t give me a gift." Fresh tears filled her eyes. "I try to give you something. I know your birthday is a special day. I tell myself to give you something valuable to last your whole life. I think hard and get the idea to give you an important lesson. If you open it on birthday, I see you learn. Then I will make a big party to celebrate. Maybe next year you listen and then you will understand the gift better." Vicki"s cheeks flushed(脸红).

阅读理解。
It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him. Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday." Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. "Jack, did you hear me?" "Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It"s been so long since I thought of him. I"m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said. "Well, he didn"t forget you. Every time I saw him he"d ask how you were doing. He"d reminisce(回忆) about the many days you spent over "his side of the fence" as he put it," Mom told him. "I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said. "You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man"s influence in your life," she said. "He"s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn"t be in this business if it weren"t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important… Mom, I"ll be there for the funeral," Jack said. Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser"s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away. The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture… Jack stopped suddenly. "What"s wrong, Jack?" his Mom asked. "The box is gone," he said. "What box?" Mom asked. "There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he"d ever tell me was "the thing I value most"," Jack said. It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box, He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it. "Now, I"ll never know what was so valuable to him," Jack said sadly. Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention. "Mr. Harold Belser" it read. Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack"s hands shook as he read the note inside. "Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It"s the thing I valued most in my life. " A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it. Inside he found these words carved: "Jack, Thanks for your time! Harold Belser. " " Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most…Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. "Why?" his assistant asked. "I need some time to spend with my son," he said.
