I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble.
I was 1 the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final 2 . During the test,
the girl 3 next to me whispered something, but I didn"t understand. So I leaned over her
way and found out that she was trying to ask me 4 I had an extra pen. She showed me
that 5 was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it
out of my pocket and put it on her desk. Later, after the test papers had been 6 the teacher
asked me to 7 in the room when all the other students 8 . As soon as we were alone,
she began to talk to me 9 it meant to grow up; she mentioned how important it was to stand
10 your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked
about honesty and emphasized the fact 11 people do something dishonest, they are really 12
themselves. She made me promise that I would think 13 about all the things she had said and
then she told me I could 14 . I walked out of the room wondering 15 she had chosen to talk
to me about all those things.
Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over
to talk to the girl next to me, it looked 16 I was copying answers 17 the girl"s test paper. I tried
to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn"t 18
anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. 19 I tried to explain that I was
just doing the girl a favor 20 he use my pen. I was sure she continued to believe that I had cheated
on the test. |

D. all right | | 阅读理解。 | Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn"t think
there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique
(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.
I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man
wouldn"t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and
the fourth-so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and
said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" "Twenty pounds," I said. "OK,"
he said. "I"ll give you twenty pounds." "It"s got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes,
I saw that. It"s nothing."
Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. "What will you
do with it?" I asked. "Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I"ll buy
it," I said. "What do you mean? You"ve just sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but I"ve
changed my mind. I am sorry. I"ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it." "You must be
crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want
me to repair your chair." "You"re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had
walked in and said, "Would you mend this chair for me?"" "I wouldn"t have agreed to do
it," he said. "We don"t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I"ll
mend this for you. Shall we say for a fiver?" He was a very nice man and was greatly
amused by the whole thing. | | 1. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _____. | | [ ] | A. was rather impolite

Upon its 2 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David.
David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often 3 what kind of home life
David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so 4 for the
cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David 5 . I

school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He 8 just smile
and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly 9 home.

me, he said anxiously "Open it". I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped
it. I lift the lid and to my 16 saw nothing. I looked at David"s smiling face and back
into the box and said. "The box is nice, David, but it"s 17 "
"Oh, no, it isn"t", said David, "It"s full of love, my mum told me before she died

happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
"I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40,
blue lights and siren (警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed
to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was
going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder."
But Hyde couldn"t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than
worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to
keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and
stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sightwas not that difficult. Every
turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination (目的地). At that point he found another
unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn"t needed. Now he was free to try to
stop the driver of the firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panick about.
"Just about that time," Hyde says, "I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke
and oil going everywhere. He"s blown his engine. Now he had to stop."
"After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn"t have a driver"s license.
That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty-a thousand dollars for the new engine-not to
mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving. | | 1. The meaning of "panicked" in paragraph 2 is related to _____. | | [ ] | A. happy
B. fear
C. anger
D. hate | | 2. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway? | | [ ] | A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.
B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.
C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.
D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder. | | 3. The driver of the Firebird _____. | | [ ] | A. took a wrong turn on the way
B. had some trouble with his car
C. was stopped by the police officer
D. paid for the expenses of the accident | | 4. What is probably the best title for the article? | | [ ] | A. Losing His Way?
B. Going My Way?
C. Fun All the Way?
D. Help on the Way? | 最新试题
