especially from a fellow   1  .

to Helen   3   she was doing what she loved-  4   people better. She always made everyone, customers and
co-workers,   5   and feel good.
     Being a waitress changed my life. One of my   6   customers was Fred. He always ate an omelet, and
when I saw him   7  , I tried to have it on his table as soon as he sat down.
     Thanks to the newfound confidence I   8   from Helen, I dreamed of having my own   9  . But when I
called my parents to ask for a loan (贷款), they said, "We just don"t have the money."
     The next day, Fred saw me and asked, "What"s  10 ? You"re not smiling today."
     I  11  my dream with him and said, "Fred, I know I can do more if somebody  12  just have faith in me."
     Before long he handed me checks  13  $50,000-along with a note that I have to this day. It reads, "The
only collateral (抵押品) on this loan is my trust in your  14  as a person. Good people with a dream should

     I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen.
It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this
with boys of my own size or less.
     One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel (毛巾) on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was,
so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it
would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great
strength swimming quickly to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw
me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by
a crowd of younger boys. "Do you know what you have done?" they said, "It"s Amery; he is in Grade Six.
He is champion at gym, he has got his football honor."
     I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel
and so small. He didn"t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, "My father, who is a great
man, is also small."At this,he laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I
had better be careful in the future, the incident was closed.
1. The writer thought Amery "a fair game" because the boy _____.
A. looked like an animal
B. was fond of games
C. was of similar size
D. was good at sports
2. The writer felt "ashamed" because _____.
A. he was laughed at by other boys
B. Amery turned out to be in the same grade
C. he pushed Amery hard and hurt him
D. he played a joke on an outstanding athlete
3. By saying "My father, who is a great man, is also small", the writer _____.
A. tried to please Amery
B. challenged Amery
C. threatened Amery
D. admired his father
4. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The writer could run faster than Amery.
B. The writer liked playing on boys of all sizes.
C. Amery was a student in Grade Four.
D. Amery forgave the writer for his rude behavior.

     A few days ago I asked my sons" governess (女家庭教师) Julia to come into my study. "Be seated,
Julia," I said, "Let"s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you"re
too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month..."
     "Forty."
     "No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you"ve been here two
months, so..."
     "Two months and five days."
     "Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you.
Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn"t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And
three holidays..."Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but-not a word.
      "Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons,
as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission
not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven-nineteen. Take nineteen off... that leaves. hmm.... forty one
dollars. Correct?"
     Julia"s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew
her nose, but-still not a word.
     "Around New Year"s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more,
it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. Then, due to your neglect (疏忽), Tom climbed a tree and
tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick"s shoes. You ought to
watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave
you ten dollars."
     "You didn"t." sobbed Julia.
     "But I made a note of it."
     "Well... if you say so."
     "Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen."
     Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!
     "Only once was I given any money," she whispered, her voice trembling,"and that was by your wife.
Three dollars, nothing more."
     "Really? You see now, and I didn"t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here"s your
money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is!"
     I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.
     "Merci (法语: 谢谢)," she whispered.
     I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. "For what, this-"merci"?"
I asked.
     "For the money."
     "But you know I"ve cheated you-robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why this"merci"?"
     "In my other places they didn"t give me anything at all."
     "They didn"t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach
you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it
really possible to be so spineless (懦弱)? Why didn"t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in
this world to be without teeth and claws (爪)-to be such a fool?"
     Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression, "It is possible."
     I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She
murmured her little "merci" several times and went out. I looked after her and thought, "How easy it is
to crush the weak in this world!"
1. While talking to Julia, the wrier expected from her _____.
A. a protest  
B. gratitude
C. obedience   
D. an explanation
2. What shocked the writer was Julia"s _____.
A. nervousness in front of her boss
B. acceptance of injustice
C. shyness when talking about money
D. reluctance to express herself
3. The writer said, "Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?" He was actually telling
    the governess _____.
A. to be more aggressive
B. to be more careful in her work
C. to protect her right
D. to live independently
4. At the end of the story, the writer said, "How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!" to show _____.
A. his understanding of Julia"s anxiety
B. his worry about Julia"s future
C. his concern on the living condition of working-class people

     "Good evening, everybody!" said the teacher, Donna. "Where is everybody?" That was sort of a daily
joke by Donna. Usually the class started with only two or three students present, and then filled up as the
minutes went by. It was summertime. Summer school was only eight weeks long. Class attendance was
always smaller than during fall and spring semesters.
     "I don"t know, teacher. Maybe they late or no come," said one student. "Maybe watching TV football
tonight."
     "Is there a soccer game tonight? It seems like there"s a soccer game every night. Oh, well. Let"s get
started, okay? We"re on page 36 in the workbook. Tonight we"re studying participles as adjectives. Students
are always confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we will practice this a lot.
Tonight, we"re just going to practice the present participle.
     "The present participle tells us what emotion or feeling the subject is causing. For example, "Grammar
is boring" means that the subject-grammar-causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, "The movie is
interesting," we are saying that the movie causes a feeling of interest. If we say, "The roller coaster is exciting,"
we are saying that the roller coaster causes a feeling of excitement. Any questions so far? Am I confusing
you? Is everyone confused?"
     The classroom was quiet. Donna looked at blank faces. They were confused. She knew this would take
a while. But eventually, the faster students would grasp it, and then they would help the slower students. By
the end of the evening, most of the class would feel comfortable using the present participle.
     Donna erased the board and put some new examples on it. She loved guiding her students through difficult
topics like this one. She always felt a little bit thrilled when the look of understanding came to their faces.
1. What do you think the class is about?
A. Going over homework.
B. English grammar.
C. Football.
D. British culture.
2. We can infer from the first paragraph that _____ in summer time.
A. some students are often late for school
B. some students often watch football games with the teacher
C. more students often ask for leave
D. more students often go to school
3. The underlined work "blank" probably means _____.
A. excited
B. interested
C. confused
D. pleased
4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Donna was experienced in teaching English grammar.
B. Donna made the students practice using the present participle.
C. Donna didn"t use any examples to help the students.
D. Donna made herself understood at last.
