Every year millions of people travel by plane without difficulty. I don"t 1 very often, but I always seem
to 2 into trouble. Trouble seems to like me; it goes with me 3 a friendly dog! Last year, for example, I
wanted to come home 4 a winter vacation in Miami, Florida. I had to 5 a plane to Atlanta and then take
another plane home. We left Miami on a Sunday morning. The 6 there was warm and sunny. We arrived
in Atlanta at 12:30 p.m. but then it 7 to snow. In the next three hours,ten inches of snow fell. 8 the plane
could not leave. After twenty-four hours at the Atlanta airport, I was able to 9 my journey! I arrived home
and went to 10 .
"You look tired," the people at work said. "You need a vacation!"
This year I had to go to Washington D.C. for an important business meeting. 11 the plane journey, I
wore sports clothes; they were old, but I felt 12 in them. My good clothes for the meeting were in my
suitcase (手提箱). That was a very 13 idea! I 14 in Washington, but my suitcase didn"t. Maybe it went
to London or 15 to San Francisco, I didn"t know, but it didn"t arrive in Washington 16 me! I went to my
important meeting 17 my tennis clothes. Now that is not a good way to 18 business! People in Washington
wear suits to business meetings, not shorts and tennis shoes. My meeting did not 19 well. That was two
weeks ago. Now I am home again, and I am 20 waiting for my suitcase. |

| 阅读理解。 | The other day in school, we were discussing jobs. Our teacher, Mrs Bolt said that career was very
important and that it was never too early to think about your life"s work. Most of the young boys really
were not too sure about what they wanted to be. But I knew exactly what I wanted to be, and when Mrs
Bolt asked me, I replied "A truck driver."
"A truck driver?" repeated Mrs Bolt. "Why do you want to be one,Tom?"
"Because truck drivers are always on the move. They do not have to sit at desks all day. They are out
on the road and they see a lot of the countries. The pay is good, too. And they never have any homework."
The class laughed.
"Well, Tom," answered Mrs Bolt. "You certainly sound quite enthusiastic (热情的). I guess that you
don"t like sitting at a desk or doing homework.Is that correct, Tom?"
"Yes, I guess so," I said.
"Well, since you are so interested in becoming a truck driver, I think you should look into the field a
little further. I want you to go to the library and take out a book on truck driving. And I want you to write
a paper on it and hand it in at the end of the month."

destination, purpose and excuse. If I went to a friend"s house and found him not at home, his mother might
say, "Oh, he"s out in the woods," with a tone (语气) of airy acceptance. It"s similar to the tone people
sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I"m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even
"away from his desk." For us ten-year-olds, "being out in the woods" was just an excuse to do whatever we
feel like for a while.
We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring (探索). Exploring was
a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations,
though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we
stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly
persuaded was an Italian burial mound.
Often we got "lost" and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which
someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and
we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we
visited regularly-tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.
It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us has
reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence (青春期). In March, the month when we
usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and
all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that were really rather big to be up in a tree. Soon
there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria. | | 1. The author and his friends were often out in the woods to _____. | | [ ] | A. spend their free time
B. play golf and other sports
C. avoid doing their schoolwork
D. keep away from their parents | | 2. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? | | [ ] | A. The activities in the woods were well planned.
B. Human history is not the result of exploration.
C. Exploration should be a systematic activity.
D. The author explored in the woods aimlessly. | | 3. The underlined word "skeptical" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____. | | [ ] | A. calm
