阅读理解。     "BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one
side, and I on the other side.
     We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up
in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
     The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.
     A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another
space: happy and care-free.
     But now...I don"t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in
our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever he do something
wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there
is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
     I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As 
I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me
company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still
on.
     I thought to myself:"Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"
     In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they
were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can"t stand his outrageous (蛮
横的)words:"I can"t throw you away, let alone these old papers!"
     All the lights were off except father"s.
     Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn"t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never
showed any mercy or any moment of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep
and then tucking (帮助盖被子) me underneath the covers.
     This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has
become his second nature.
     The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I
had never been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks.
I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it"s second to
none. 1. Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
    a. I opened the door and entered the house.
    b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
    c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
    d. I thought of my father"s kindness towards me.
    e. I walked about in the street without any aim. A. b,e,d,c,a
B. b,e,c,d,a
C. b,e,a,c,d
D. b,e,c,a,d 2. What made the writer think of his childhood? A. The sight of the street lights.
B. The sight of the empty street.
C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D. The sight of light in his own house. 3. Why do you think the father often shouts at his son? A. Perhaps the father is getting older and older.
B. Perhaps the son has already grown up.
C. Perhaps they never agree with each other.
D. Perhaps the father has got used to doing that. 4. What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage? A. The father is actually kind to his son.
B. The father treats his son in an unfair way.
C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D. The father is always finding fault with his son.

to him, he would clear his throat and   4   :
     "Goood dayyy to youuuuuu to00000!"…
     Almost everyone considered William unusual, since no one could get a normal   5   word out of him. And,
as no one knew how he made his living-and he lived quite   6  , always wearing his old second-hand suit-they
often had no   7   for him and sometimes even made fun of him.

 a role in a very important opera in the nation"s capital, that there had been posters everywhere  10  the event,
that nearly everyone in the capital had gone to see it, and that it had been a great  11  . And to everyone"s

And he did it with good  14  and with a clear and pleasant voice.
     From that day on, William  15  singing at all hours. He sang only during his stage appearances. Some people

They wouldn"t have thought so  17  they had seen what William kept in his big suitcase. It was a large stone,
with a hand-carved message on it.
     The message said: "Practice, my boy. Practice every second, for you never know when your  18   will

      Little did people  19  that he only got the role in the opera because the  20  had heard William singing while
out buying a newspaper.

     During my high school years, the most important thing was what I was wearing to the Friday night dance
and who I was taking. Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worries. When I was
graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going
onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote,"Enjoy your four years... they go by
fast." I remember not believing him then, but looking back... he was right. Those four years shaped who I
was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.
      However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when someone
spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasn"t ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends
together and knowing what every single day was going to be like. Studying was something I did only AFTER
 I nailed my half-time dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college, so I told them I
would go to community college (社区学院) and I didn"t worry about my SAT (美国大学入学考试) scores.
      When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own colleges, I started to wish
I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, discovering new places, and I was
living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated it! I thought
college was supposed to be different! Why didn"t I take more time to research colleges and do the same? I
ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus (大学校园) atmosphere instead of
two.
     My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of
your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working full time and I would do anything to
go back to my high school days for a second chance!

1. Why didn"t the author worry about his SAT scores?
A. He wanted to go to community college.
B. He had been admitted for his gift in dance.
C. He was well prepared for the exam
D. He believed his brother would help him
2. When in high school, the author _____.
A. drove to and from class every day
B. buried himself in his study all the time
C. enjoyed talking about future college life
D. lived in the school except on holidays
3. what did the author"s brother mean by "Enjoy your four years... they go by Fast"?
A. He wished the author to have more dance.
B. He advised the author to value the years.
C. He encouraged the author to leave his comfort zone.
D. He suggested the author aim at a community college.
4. Talking of his high school years, the author feels  _____.
A. regretful
B. lonely
C. angry
D. pleased

     I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us up on those unpleasant days.
     I`m saying this because I think I just found mine!
     I had some work in Glasgow then. I was on a really   1   schedule, which meant I would have no time
for myself all day. I was having one of those days, when the train was completely   2   and the conversation
going on around me seemed to be particularly   3  . Besides, I had a bit of a headache.   4   quickly across
the station hall, I fished some   5   from my pocket. There was usually someone at the exit   6   the Big
Issue (a magazine that helps homeless folk earn a living). 
       7   the crowd parted ways at the bottom of the hall, I saw someone selling the Big Issue. She really
looked like she`d been sleeping   8  . Her clothes were   9   and she obviously hadn`t had a scrub up (擦洗)
for quite a while.
     As I  10  the exit, I saw that she was   11   from side to side. At first I thought she was trying to keep
  12   against the biting wind. But she wasn`t. She was moving in time to a  13 . I couldn"t hear her, but I
could see her lips moving.
      When I got closer, I saw a white  14  hanging from her elbow and noticed that she had sunken eyes.
She was  15 , dirty and living on streets. I came closer and through the  16   of the traffic I could hear her
  17  the immortal (不朽的) line,"…And I think to myself, what a wonderful world!".
     I bought her last magazine for twice what I"d originally  18  . She thanked me, and  19  her belongings
and went tapping off along the pavement -still singing! So, I have my happy  20  for the day, and I think it
will stay with me a long,long time.

     The drug store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop-assistant, was ready to go
home. Mr. Carr, the boss, stared at him and said:"Hold on, Alfred. Maybe you"d be good enough to take
 the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go." Alfred"s face got red. After a little
hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said,"Maybe I should call your mother and let her
know I"m going to have to put you in prison."
     Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she
arrived wearing a smile. "Hello, I"m Alfred"s mother. Is he in trouble?" she said. Mr. Carr was surprised,
too. He had expected Alfred"s mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for
a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel
guilty…. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying."Of course", he
said, "I don"t want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at
certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads." And he warmly
shook Mrs. Higgins"s hand.
     Back home, without even looking at Alfred, she said,"You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another,
always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed." In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother
in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mother"s strength. He felt he must tell her how
great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what
he saw. His mother"s face was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw
earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table.
Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. He watched his mother without making a sound. The picture
of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth coming to an end. He saw all the troubles he brought
his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was
the first time he had ever really seen his mother.
1. The reason why Mr. Carr felt guilty was that _____.
A. he found Alfred was in fact innocent
B. he should have called a policeman in first
C. Alfred"s mother appeared polite and gentle
D. he thought he was partly responsible for it
2. Which of the following is probably said by Mrs. Higgins while talking to Mr. Carr?
A. "Please, for God"s sake, you know, he is just a kid."
B. "I can"t believe it! You are treating my son like that!"
C. "You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow up."
D. "Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law."
3. What does the underlined phrase "his mother"s strength"(Para. 3) refer to?
A. Mrs. Higgins"s calmness and communicating skills.
B. Mrs. Higgins"s attitude towards parental sufferings.
C. Mrs. Higgins"s love and care for her son Alfred.
D. Mrs. Higgins"s greatness as a woman.
4. After the incident, young Alfred would probably _____.
A. feel ashamed of his mother
B. change his attitude towards life
C. learn to live an independent life
D. hate Mr. Carr for hurting his mother
