Reading comprehension.      Not long ago I was invited out to dinner by a girl called Jane. I have met Jane only twice, and she was
very beautiful.
     I was very pleased. "She loves me" I thought. "I am sorry at such short notice." She said when I arrived,
"but we suddenly knew there were going to be thirteen people at the table,so we had to find someone else."
Believing that the number 13 is unlucky is a typical of superstition. Recently I came across a little group of
worried people.They gathered round a man lying on the pavement (人行道)beside a road in London. They
were waiting for an ambulance, for the man had been knocked down by a passing taxi. He had stapped off
the pavement and into the street in order not to walk under a ladder (梯子). To see a black cat in England is
lucky. But if you see a black cat in India, it is considered very unlucky. There, if you are about to set out on
a long journey, and someone sneezes, you should not go. If you break a mirror, you will have seven year"s
bad luck. Just superstition, of course. 1. Jane invited the writer out to dinner because ____.[     ]
Ａ: she liked him
Ｂ: she wanted to have twelve people at the table
Ｃ: she wanted to marry him
Ｄ: she wanted to have fourteen people at the table 2. A man was knocked down by a passing taxi as a result of his ____. [     ]

Reading comprehension.     One bright sunny day our class went to the schoolyard. Miss Brooks told us to look for something on
the ground that belonged to us. We looked and looked. Finally Mike cried. "I know, It"s my shadow on the
ground." We saw that each girl and boy had a shadow and Miss Brooks had a bigger one. I tried some
funny tricks. When I moved, my shadow moved. When I ran, my shadow ran, too. But I could" t catch it
at all. Then Jess found a long and thin bamboo pole and stuch it in to the ground. Even the pole had a
shadow.
    All this started me thinking about shadows. I did not have a shadow the day before, when I walked in
the darkness. My shadow is never with me in my room at night when the light is out.
     I can"t stop thinking about me and my shadow and about what makes shadows. I am going to look for
more shadows because they are lots of fun. 1. The story took place on a ____.[     ]

Ｂ: rainy day in the schoolroom.

阅读理解。      I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance (保险业) company. I told him
honestly why I wanted the job-I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heart
attack (心脏病). A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma (精神创伤) and pain
of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her high school. I could
still hardly talk about the loss of my wife. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn"t
probe (彻底调查) any further. He admitted (接受) my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another
subject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another person. Then he
asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also
been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same
pain as I had a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He
offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help or just want someone
to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that
he was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped
our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview into a caring
support for another person in need. 1. The writer took part in the interview because _______. [     ]
A. he had lost his job and wanted to find a new one
B. he had to support his family in Boston
C. his wife had recently died of a heart attack
D. his daughter needed money for schooling 2. The underlined word "empathetic" in the sixth line means _______. [     ]
