Signs can sometimes be seen at theentrance of a house, expressing that a tramp has passed. This specialsign language is frequently 1 by tramps to inform their 2 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly,and to 3 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls. Quite 4 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him He was dressed just as a tramp should be 5 , old worn trousers and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn-they were almost coming into 6 . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 7 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 8 a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began 9 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 10 , for the tramp"s face lit up with 11 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him 12 his hat but couldn"t hear his words. The 13 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt 14 for him as he walked 15 out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and 16 his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 17 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the 18 sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his 19 ,pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 20 whistling as he went along. |

I am a people watcher, a trait magnified when I travel. On the train to and from Tokyo, I realized, 1 , that my fellow riders who were Japanese rarely 2 up and around or used their eyes to interact with other people. This 3 me at first. To my American mind such interaction has the 4 of mutual (相互的) acknowledgement. But then I remembered 5 that the Japanese rarely maintain direct eye contact. Perhaps my people watching seemed 6 . I tried to be more subtle (细心的). I had also read how the Japanese feel 7 to each other as a group by a sense of responsibility. 8 , as a Caucasian Westerner, I was obviously an outsider, I often 9 being a temporary member of the group. Once, sitting at a long stop of a local train, I 10 as several people got up and left the car when a faster train to their 11 pulled into the station. It was cold outside and every person 12 to press the "CLOSE" button as they exited the train doors to help keep out the cold air for the group 13onboard. I always feel a bit embarrassed at having the unearned good fortune of being a 14 speaker of the language. In Japan I was 15 for the many kind strangers who were willing to use their English to 16 me. And in a country where the Roman alphabet is not used in the local language, the abundant English signage was 17 aimed at helping travelers. For the most part on this trip, I found that I was left alone until I asked for help.I 18 little curiosity or interest in interacting with me. When I entered a restaurant or shop, I felt I was 19 as a local resident would be. Welcome is the greeting often shouted out 20 by the staff when customers enter restaurants or stores. |

When you"re a preteen, a huge problem might be that you just have to have a new rock-rap CD, 1 your parents won"t give you the money for it. I thought life was so 2 when things like this happened-until September 11, 2001. I was in P.E. when the planes hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. As soon as I got home and for weeks after, I saw the disaster 3 on TV. Seeing the innocent people running for their 4 as the debris(瓦砾) started coming down the fire and smoke rose out of the 5 brought tears to my eyes. I couldn"t help imagining what the people on the 6 and in the buildings were thinking and going through, not 7 what was going on.

It tore my heart apart to watch the 9 looks on the faces of so many people who didn"t know if their loved ones were dead or alive while 10 in all the debris. Then it 11 me: All my life I had thought mainly of myself. I had it easy in life and had been taking it all for granted. A feeling of coldness 12 down my back, and I cried just thinking of the possibility that it could have easily 13 to my family. My mom or dad could have been killed like that, and I would never, ever see the m again. I began to evaluate what a real 14 in life was. This disaster 15 me that awful things can happen to anyone at any time. Now when my mom or dad or sister go somewhere, even if it"s just 16 the store, I try to remember to tell them that I love them because I know there is a 17 that I may never tell them that 18 . Not getting a new CD is not going to make or 19 my life. I can live with those kinds of problems. But losing someone I love would 20 make my life miserable. 9/11 showed me just what I am. |

How do you feel about watching other people work? Nothing is more refreshing on a warm summer day than watching someone else work. Right now, I"m sitting on my porch and watching young Beth baling (打捆) the big field on top of the hill. She"s been haying that field for over ten years. I know: I put her on the tractor when she was just twelve years old. She picked a great day for baling. It"s not too hot, and there"s a nice breeze. On Monday, when she cut the field, it was so hot I thought the corn would start popping in the field. Didn"t stop her, though. She just stuck that big hat on her head, wrapped a wet handkerchief around her neck, and set to work. I remember when I would have done the same thing. While I"m here sucking a lemonade, Beth is driving the "hay (干草) train," a tractor pulling a baler and an old wagon. You"d think someone her size would never be able to see over the tractor. But somehow she manages. When she"s finished, her tracks are very straight. The whole time she"s haying, that dog of hers is working just as hard, running along beside her like he"s afraid she"ll drive away without him. Beth sure knew what she was doing when she trained him. The way the machine works is pure poetry. Each row is pushed into shape. When just enough hay is in a bale, it is wrapped up and fastened together. A second or so later, the bale comes flying out and into the old wagon. The person who invented that machine sure was some kind of genius. That"s not to say it works perfectly. Every once in a while a bale misses the mark, especially when you are turning the machine at the end of a row. That means, of course, that you have to go back and pick up those bales and throw them into the wagon. I can remember when Beth"s mother was her age. She looked an awful lot like Beth does now. Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves. Well, I suppose I should get up and fill this glass again. Not much fun sitting here with an empty glass. |
1. We can learn from the passage that at some time in the past the author ______. |
A. bought the tractor for Beth B. forced Beth to work at an early age C. worked in the field like Beth D. trained the dog to help Beth work |
2. In the eyes of the author, the sight of Beth baling hay is _______. |
A. uncommon B. beautiful C. unforgettable D. changeable |
3. Before thrown into the wagon, the hay must be _______. |
A. tied up B. dried up C. cut up D. lined up |
4. Who do you think is telling this story? |
A. Beth"s mother. B. Beth"s father. C. Beth"s grandmother. D. Beth"s grandfather. |

Last Friday my brother and I were driving home together after doing some shopping and gave our attention to an interesting conversation. Because of this distraction (分心)my brother took a wrong turn. Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Unwillingly, my brother paid the bridge fee and drove on. He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the needless waste of $4. We eventually reached an exit and, as we took it, my brother noticed a young fellow pulled over to the side of the road. He came out of his car and tried to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we would go next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a tool to get it off. My brother gave him a wrench, and then began to help him change the flat. The young man said that this had been a bad week for him: earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us "a breath of fresh air" and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn"t come along. After we finished the job he thanked us again and pulled out $20 from his pocket and tried to give it to us. "No," I said. "We were never supposed to even get on that bridge, we took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve." What I loved most was that my brother was able to see a chance to help. His reaction in the situation is a lesson for everyone and we felt so good the rest of the day. |
