     Then he went to a big city on business. There he joined the local rifle club. The club had a
very good team, which used to take part in a lot of important shooting competitions. One of
these took place while Frank was with them. But one of the members of the club"s team suddenly
fell ill just before the match. The captain had heard of Mr. Frank. He therefore invited Mr. Frank
to take the sick man"s place.
    Mr. Frank felt greatly happy to be asked to shoot for such a good team, but he also felt very
nervous, because he was afraid of making a fool of himself.
    In fact, he was so nervous that he could not keep his hands from trembling while he was shooting,
with the result that he did very badly in the competition. When he took his score card to his captain,
he said:" After seeing my score, I want to go outside and shoot myself. " The captain looked at the

C. he was too shamed of himself to remain inside and face the captain and the other members

     Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California"s Santa Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn"t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I thought I should just go east.
     A bus stopped. I got on and asked the driver how far she was going. "Ten more miles," she said. There was another bus I could take from here. This clearly was going to be a long night.
I got off at the end of the route and she told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus came up. There was no light number above its
windshield  (挡风玻璃). It was out of service, but the door opened. It was the same driver. "I just can"t
leave you here," she said. "This isn"t the nicest place. I will give you a ride home. "
     "You will drive me home on the bus?" I asked, astonished.
     "No, I will take you in my car, "she said.
     "It"s a long way, "I insisted.
     "Come on, " she said. "I have nothing else to do. "
     As we drove from, the station in the car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother
had run out of gas. A good man picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car.
"I"m just passing the favour on," she said.
     When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn"t accept. "Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it on. "she said.
1. Why did the writer say that he would have a long night?
A. He wondered how long he had to wait for the next bus.
B. No driver would give him a ride.
C. He didn"t know the routes.
D. He perhaps would have to take a taxi.
2. Judging from its context, the place where the writer waited for the second bus was      
A. very quiet and peaceful        
B. dark without street lights
C. neither clean nor beautiful      
D. a little unsafe
3. Why did the writer change his mind after waiting for 30 minutes at the end of the route?
A. No bus would come at the time. 
B. A taxi ride would be more comfortable. 
C. He became impatient and a bit worried. 
D. He knew the driver would never return.
4. The bus driver drove the writer home later because     
A. she happened to go in the same direction
B. she wanted to do something good for other people
C. her brother told her to do so
D. she wanted to earn more money

     People say time is relative. But relative to what. I do know that sometimes time "seems" to be moving
slower. Remember Christmas Eve when you were a child? It was the longest night of the year. It lasted
forever! And now it seems like I just paid my bill yesterday… and it"s due again!
     People tell me all too frequently… I need more time! Oh, really?… Mother Teresa, Michelangelo,
and Helen Keller all had 24 hours a day. Look what they did with their time!
     Is it that we need to manage our time better… or our priorities(重点)? You"ve heard the expression
"first things first". The first step in understanding the power of time is to understand that it is limited. Why
is it then that some people get a lot more done? We know the answer. They use their time smartly.
     One day an expert on time management was speaking to a group of students and announced a quiz.
He pulls out a wide-mouthed jar. Next,he places about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one at a time, into the
jar, until no more will fit. "Is it full?" he asks. "Yes," responds the class. "Oh really?" he asks. So he takes
out a bucket of gravel(砂砾), which he manages to work down into the spaces between the larger rocks. "Is it full now?" he asks.
     Wising up, one answered, "Probably not." Sure enough . He takes out a bucket of sand, which he
pours into the empty spaces. "Is it full now?" he asks. "No" reply the students confidently. So he takes a
glass of water and fills it in. Then he asks, "What is my point?""
     One said, "No matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit some more
things into it!"
      "No," the speaker replied, "It tells us if you don"t put the big rocks in first, you"ll never get  them in at
all."
     What are the big rocks? The things you should put in to your jar first.
     The rich don"t get 25 hours and the poor don"t get 23… we all get the same. Let"s use them wisely!
Invest your time wisely!
1.The text is written mainly ________.
A. to explain the origin of the expression "first things first"
B .to call on us to use our time in a smart manner
C. to introduce a meaningful class given by an expert
D. to tell us about the relativity and the power of time
2.The underlined phrase "Wising up" in the passage is closest in meaning to "________".
A. Becoming aware                  
B.Telling the truth
C. Rising to his feet              
D. Raising her hand
3. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By inferring(推理).              
B. By comparing.
C. By listing examples.            
D.By giving facts.
4.What does the point of the quiz lie in?
A. How to put more things into a jar.        
B. How well the students learn the lesson.
C. How to get more done in limited time.    
D. The skill and order is very important.
     A few years ago, my friend Al won the lottery (彩票), which changed his life. He was not born with
a silver spoon in his mouth.    1  , my friend was always hard up for cash. He did not have much money.
And the money he did earn was chicken feed - very    2    .  
     Sometimes Al even had to    3    some gifts from his family and friends. He was not the kind of person
who never paid the money he    4   .He was always very careful with the money he spent. The    5    times
were when he was flat broke and had no money at all.
     One day, Al scraped together a few dollars for a    6   ticket. He thought he would never gain lots of
money     7   . But his combination of numbers was chosen and he    8     the lottery. That is to say, he
won a great deal of    9    .
     Al was so    10   . The first thing he did was to buy a new car. He showed off the one thing that he
normally would not buy. Then he started spending money on   11   things. It was like he had money to 
  12   . He had more money than he needed and it was burning a hole in his pocket so he spent it quickly.
     When we   13   for a meal at a restaurant, Al paid every time. He would always pay bills for others.
He told me the money made him feel like a millionaire   14    he felt very happy.
     But shortly after that my friend was   15    and out again. He had no money left. He had   16    his
bottom dollar, his very last amount.
     I admit I do feel   17    for my friend. He had enough money to live like a king. Instead, he is   18    to
living on a shoestring - a very low budget. Some might say he is penny   19    and pound foolish. He was
wise about small things, but    20    about important things.
