In a New York street a small truck hit a big tree. The truck was full of glasses and they were 1 now.
The driver came out of the truck and looked at the broken glasses. He was very 2 . And people in the
street were 3 for him.
Then an old man walked to the driver, looked at him for a few 4 and said, "My poor boy, I think you
must 5 a lot for it."
"Yes," was the sad answer.
"Well, well," said the old man, "hold out your 6 . Here"s some money for you, and I hope all the people
around here will give 7 , too." With these words, he walked away.
The driver held out his hat and over a hundred people came and put their money in it. At last the
driver 8 a bag and put all the 9 in, Then he looked at the people and said, "Well, thank you very much. I"m working for that old man, all these 10 are made in his factory."
visit her. But she was 2 . She spent much time thinking about her 3 and about her dead husband. Her
children worried about her and asked Dr Green to see her.
Dr Green was a good doctor. She knew 4 people become set (顽固) in their ways and don"t like to
be told what to do. She decided to get to know Mrs White 5 she said anything. During the visit, Dr.
Green asked Mrs White to show her around the house. Mrs White happily 6 . As they walked from room
to room, Dr Green saw that there were a lot of beautiful violets (紫罗兰) in every window. She asked, " 7
do you have so many violets? Mrs white answered, "I love these flowers and they grow so fast that I have
more and more." When the visit was over, Dr Green said, "I have one suggestion (建议). When you hear a
friend or a neighbor is ill or getting married (结婚), give 8 one of your violets."
Later one of her friends was ill, so she took a violet to him in the hospital. She began to 9 more and
more of her voilets to her neighbors. She gave away so many that she became known as the 10 lady.
He was given the silver (银) cup.
"It isn"t rightly mine," he said, when he was holding the cup. "It was won two years ago when I was
on holiday in…
"A family was staying at my hotel (旅馆) at that time. Mrs Prag, the mother, was told that I played
chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. "He"s only ten." she said, "I"ve been told that he
plays quite well."
"Well, as you can guess, I wasn"t too happy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he
does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game
began. I hoped it would be quick and so it was.
"I soon knew that David Prag was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to
play tennis against a wall.The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece (棋子) without
care. I gave my attention to the board."
"Call me when you are ready, Mr Watson," he said.
"When I was ready? I looked up. He had gone off to play with his sister.I studied the board and
found I was driven into corner. So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board,
then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten, oh so easily, by
a ten-year-old chess player. He was the winner-in twenty-eight minutes.
"David Prag: a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me.
To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand, winning games."
B. he had had a chance to take part in an important game
C. he had learned how to play chess from a child
D. he had learned a good game from a child
and went in. Mr Moore had never got drunk (醉) before, so he was 2 not to drink too much, 3 his
friends asked him to drink more 4 .
During the party, Mrs Moore found that she had 5 to bring her bag, so she asked her husband to go
out to the car and 6 it for her. He 7 so, but on his way back to the hotel gate,he heard a car horn
(喇叭) blowing near his own car. He thought 8 might be in need of help and went over to the car with
the 9 . He found a small black bear sitting in the driving-seat and blowing the horn.
When Mr Moore 10 the party, he told several people about the bear, but of course they did not
believe him and thought he was drunk. When he took them out of the hotel to 11 that his story was 12 ,
he found that the car with the 13 in it had gone. There were so many 14 about Mr Moore"s black bear
during the next week that he at last put an advertisement (广告) in the newspaper; "If anyone saw a black
bear blowing the horn in a car outside the Century Hotel 15 the evening of Christmas Day, please tell…"
Two days later 16 Mrs Richards called him and said that she and her husband had left their pet (宠物)
bear in their car outside the Century Hotel for a few minutes that evening, and that 17 he had blown the
horn.
Mrs Richards did not 18 to think there was anything 19 about that."Our bear likes blowing car
horns," she said, "and we don"t 20 when we are not driving the car."

or swim in the lake.
It was Saturday. A lot of people went there for their weekend. They enjoyed themselves in the villages
and swam in the cool water. The next afternoon they had to return to their town. Bad luck! The last train came
to the station at five to six. It was fifty minutes late. There were many people on the platform (站台). They
were anxious (渴望的) to get on the train. As soon as it stopped, they tried to get on.
The driver felt terrible at that moment. He had to take some medicine, but he couldn"t find any water in
the train and had to get off. It was time to start. The train was filled to capacity (挤满). Only the driver was

Soon Alice finishes bathing the two children. She puts them on the bed and wants to dress them. She asks,
