named Hem and Haw.
     Every morning, the mice and the little people   5   their running wear and went to Cheese Station C   6   they
found their cheese. It was such a large store of cheese that Hem and Haw   7   moved their homes to be closer
to it.

weren"t surprised.   9   they had noticed the supply  10  cheese had been getting smaller every day, they were
prepared for the result. They set out quickly to  11  new cheese.

went home that night  12  and discouraged.
     The next day Hem and Haw  13  to Cheese Station C. But the situation hadn"t changed. Haw asked, "Do Sniff
and Scurry know something we don"t know?" Hem  14  him and said, "What would they know? They are
simple  15  and we are human beings. They cannot be  16  than we are."
     Haw suggested, "Maybe we should  17  talking about the situation and just look for some new cheese."
     Haw decided to  18  Cheese Station C while Hem was more comfortable staying in the cheeseless Station C.

     Every day at 8:00 a. m., Lucy was served breakfast in bed by Guido, her cook. Next came a quick fitness
period with Olga, her personal trainer. Lars, her secretary, would be waiting in the study and at 10:00 a. m.,
Lucy would be there. At noon, Lucy would drive to meet her old friends. As Lucy returned at 4:55 p. m., Olga
would have already set up the massage (按摩) table.
     However, today was a little different: Lucy took her diamond necklace to Manhattan for a good clean. She
threw it into her purse and left.
     On the way, she sensed she was being followed. Then as she joined the shoppers, Lucy felt a pull. Within
a second, a man on skates (冰鞋) sailed past her, grabbing her purse.
     Lucy went to the police station and returned home an hour late. The ice in the welcome-home cocktail (鸡
尾酒) Lars had mixed had already melted. Olga hurriedly set up the massage table and mixed the oils.
     Two hours later, Lucy lay in bed, lost in thought.
     "It was an inside job. The person obviously knew I was carrying that necklace cleaned."
     "Guido"s cousin owns an in-line skating store in Manhattan."
     "I always arrived home at 4:45 p. m. and Olga was always ready with the table set up and the oils ready.
But today, Olga didn"t prepare the massage for me until I walked through the door. Why? Because she knew
I would be late. Realizing that I would be taking the necklace to Manhattan, Olga telephoned her boyfriend who
waited in Manhattan, ready to skate and rob."

B. At 5:55 p. m.

     As my dad unwrapped the new bicycle helmet (头盔) that I got him for his birthday, I realized that a
number of people ride their bicycles every day without the protection of a helmet.
     Due to cold winters across the country, riding has become increasingly dangerous as many roads have
potholes and are torn-up (磨损的). Not everyone realizes that there are laws requiring the wearing of helmets
in many places.
     Where I live, there has been a law in place since October l, 1992 stating that cyclists of all ages are required
to wear helmets. Unfortunately, accidents can happen to the best of riders. My dad has been a cyclist for many
years, and he often rides around my county and to Rockland Lake State Park.
     One afternoon, as he was just entering the park, he lost control of his bicycle and flew off and landed on a
nearby patch of grass, breaking his helmet into pieces and losing consciousness. When he was just awakening,
a lovely couple found him and brought him back to our house, where he attempted to recap the events leading
up to his fall. Later that day, a CAT scan revealed that he had a concussion(脑震荡). That evening, while my
dad was showing me the pieces of his broken helmet, we both came to a shocking realization.
     If he had not worn his helmet, he probably would have cracked his skull and perhaps died. Today, when
my dad and I go out cycling, the wearing of our helmets is not even a question. Regardless of age, everyone
should wear a helmet whenever they get on a bicycle.
1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE?
A. Young men needn"t wear helmets.
B. The writer"s father didn"t wear a helmet until the writer bought him one.
C. People don"t have to wear helmets on smooth surface roads.
D. Accidents do not happen to the best cyclists.
2. In the writer"s opinion, why should people wear bicycle helmets?
A. Because a law requires them to do so.
B. Because many people like wearing bicycle helmets.
C. Because people have realized the importance of wearing helmets.
D. Because the conditions of roads are very poor and it is dangerous to ride on them.
3. The underlined part "we both came to a shocking realization" in Paragraph means "____".
A. we understood how lucky the dad was to have worn a helmet
B. we were shocked to see the broken helmet
C. we realized that young people needn"t wear helmets
D. only old people should wear helmets
4. From the accident that happened to the writer"s dad, we can infer that ____.
A. the cyclists should follow the law
B. his dad was not worried about this accident
C. it is necessary for cyclists to wear helmets
D. everyone should care about life

     The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything I"d owned
was sold to pay debts that I didn"t even know I had. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my
parents who had refused to accept a divorce (离婚) in the family. I"d lost everything except my four teenage
children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy
to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right.
     Knowing that no one in the world was going to help us, I rented a cheap apartment. I worked 18 hours a
day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the
red orange glow of the lava (火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my
imagination!
     The next day, I quit my job and invested my last paycheck in art supplies and began doing what I loved. I
hadn"t painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked
up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas (画布) in front
of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting
sold for $ 1500 before I even had time to frame it.
     The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins,
watched whales and hiked around the crater (火山口) edge of the volcano. We wake up every morning with
the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now reality. I"m
living freely and happily ever after.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A. the writer didn"t expect her marriage had ended in divorce
B. the writer"s parents encouraged her to divorce
C. the writer"s husband took away most of her property
D. there was something wrong with the writer"s nerves
2. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The writer was sure she could survive in Hawaii.
B. The writer with her children met with many difficulties when they first arrived in Hawaii.
C. The writer had ever done paintings before.
D. The writer doubted if she could paint well at first.
3. The writer"s dream was to ____.
A. live in nature with animals
B. live near volcanoes and oceans
C. become a successful painter
D. live a free life
4. The best title for this passage is "____".
A. My broken marriage
B. My life after divorce
C. Adventures over 6 years
D. Hard life in Hawaii

     When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛脚),
and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare and I would be
ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.
     It was difficult to walk together-and because of that, we didn"t say much as we went along. But as we
started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to follow you."
     Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work even in
bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was
a matter of pride for him.
     When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help...Such times
my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N. Y., on a child"s sleigh to the subway entrance.
Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept
ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to
go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.
     When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer
from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it-without bitterness or complaint.
     He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a "good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.
     Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don"t
know exactly what a "good heart" is. But I know the times I don"t have one myself.
     He has been away for many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to
be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I
was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I com- plain about my troubles, when I am envious of another"s
good for-tune, when I don"t have a "good heart".

A. He helped his father happily.
B. He never helped his father.

A. didn"t work very hard

C. hated those who had good fortune
D. was happy and satisfied, and never lost hope
