阅读理解。     What am I doing with my daughter at home? Rather than read aloud from books, we go go dinner
and have a very a good time. This is usually when her Mom isn"t around, and this is when my little girl
and I relate better. They"re alone together so much. We"re seldom alone. When we"re alone together, she
and I somehow behave differently. We learn about each other.She learns that I"m her father.I learn that
she"s my daughter. It"s a strange feeling, but any parent knows what I"m talking about when I say that I
often look at my daughter and wonder just whose kid she is. Where"d she suddenly come from? And why
on earth did she pick Laura and me for parents?
     When my daughter and I are along she"ll hold my hand and say, "I just love you so much, Daddy!"
She"s so used to my leaving that when I tell her she and I are going to hang out all night, she gets this great
look on her face and says, "We"ve got so much to do, Dad!" There"s nothing like it in the world.
     I want my relationship with my daughter to keep growing, so I"ve been giving my wife a couple of
hundred dollars each week and making her go to the shopping center with her girlfriends,or
something-anything!
     But this closeness is not without its problems. When I"m sitting there playing with her Barbie doll
(巴比娃娃), washing her hair, a voice in me suddenly says, "I"ve got to get a drink and get out of here."
Right in the middle of all this pleasantness,the voice goes, "Look at yourself! You"re washing dolls!" 1. Why does the husband give his wife so much money each week? A. He wants her to buy more things for the family
B. She can do whatever she likes with the money
C. He can spend more time with his daughter
D. She can spend more time with her friends2. Which of the following statements is true?A. The father spends more time with the daughter than the mother does.
B. The daughter is happy when the father tells her he will be away.
C. The father is happy, hearing "We"ve got so much to do, Dad!"
D. The father is sure that the daughter is not his own.3. What does the last paragraph tell us about the father?A. He doesn"t enjoy being with his daughter.
B. He doesn"t like washing his daughter"s hair.
C. He likes to enjoy himself by going out for a drink.
D. He has mixed feelings when he is with his daughter.

Cloze.     The 28-year-old had spent six years working nights while she gained her university degree during the day.
When she finally graduated, she had her eye on a teaching   1   at a nearby primary school. With the help of her
friends, she had an interview with the Head.
    "I noticed a tiny hole in one of my stockings earlier," she   2 . "I thought about changing them, but I knew
I"d be late if I did. And by the time I got to the interview,   3   enormous. I walked in apologizing for not   4 ."
The would be teacher didn"t get the job. In fact one of her friends told her that the   5   only comment was:"If
someone doesn"t take the time to present her best   6   at an interview, what kind of   7   is she going to be?"
    First impressions are   8   ones. In other words, if you"re viewed positively within the critical (关键的) first
four minutes, the person you"ve met will   9   assume everything you do is positive. Leave the interviewer a bad
impression, and often he will assume you have a lot of other unsatisfactory characters. Worse, he or she may
not take the time to give you a second  10 . Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about
themselves will care more about their jobs.

     One evening after dinner, Mr and Mrs. Tisich called a family meeting. "We"ve had to make a difficult
decision," Mr. Tisich announced. "You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television
station in Chicago Unfortunately, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it,we"ve concluded
that the right decision is to move to Chicago."
     Marc looked shocked,while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they"d be moving. "It"s
surprising,but exciting!" She said. Marc simply said, "We can"t go-I can"t leave all my friends.I"d rather stay
here and live with Tommy Lyons!"
     The Tisichs hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more accustomed to the idea
of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings.
     When the morning of the move arrived, Marc was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy Lyons"s
house, but Mrs. Lyons said she hadn"t seen Marc. Mrs. Tisich became increasingly concerned, while her
husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.
    What they didn"t know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy"s house,with a faint idea of
hiding in the Lyons"s attic (阁楼) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Marc walked past all
the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his
sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would
these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Marc didn"t take the time to answer
that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons (纸板箱) the
right size to hold his record collection.

1. The conflict in this story was caused by _____.

A. Marc and Rachel"s different tempers
B. a quarrel between Tommy Lyons and Marc
C. Marc"s disagreement with his parents about their move
D. Mr.and Mrs. Tisich"s remark of Marc"s irresponsibility

2. Marc and Rachel"s reactions to the move were similar in the way that both were _____.

A. surprised
B. angry and upset
C. anxious for more details
D. worried about packing

3. The reason for Marc"s going home was that _____.

A. he did not want to be left behind
B. he realized his family was essential to him
C. he hoped to reach an agreement with his parents
D. he wished to be a more responsible person

4. What would most likely happen next?

A. Marc would bring his records over to the Lyons"s house.
B. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would call the police.
C. Marc would join his family for house moving.
D. Mr.and Mrs. Tisich would start searching for Marc.

  19  I"d catch you." "Why is that?" I asked, "Because you are so goldamned educated, Doc, I knew you couldn"t

     Treasure hunts (寻宝) have excited people"s imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and
in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson"s Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea
of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues (线索) found in a book when he wrote a
children"s story, Masquerade, in 1979. The book was about a hare,and a month before it came out
Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help
readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of "red herrings", or false clues, to mislead them.
     Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Although he
had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic (逻辑), not by luck.His
success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the
words: "One of Six to Eight" under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to
Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII"s six wives. Even here, however,Williams had succeeded in
misleading him. Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and
thought that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new
idea occurred to him.He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Befordshire,
and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the
connection with Katherine of Aragon,until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park
and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.
     Even then his search had not come to an end. It was only after he had spent several nights digging
around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there.
Williams encouraged him continue, and on February 24 th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth
￡3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.

1. The underlined word "them"(paragraph1) refers to _____.

A. red herrings
B. treasure hunts
C. Henry VIII"s six wives
D. readers of Masquerade

2. What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare?

A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill
B. Stevenson"s Treasure Island
C. Katherine of Aragon

A. to tell about what happened in 1773
B. to show respect for Henry VIII"s first wife
C. to serve as a roadsign in Ampthill Park
D. to inform people where the gold hare was

4. Which of the following describes Roberts" logic in searching for the hare?
a. Henry VIII"s six wives
b. Katherine"s burial place at Kimbolton
c. Williams" childhood in Ampthill
d. Katherine of Aragon e.stone crosses in Ampthill Park

A. a-b-c-e-d

     I got my first   3 job, at JM"s Restaurant in town, when I was 12. My main responsibility. (职责) were

     Every day after school I would   6 to JM"s and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I   7 from two until
