“Who did this?” asked my teacher. Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out.
“Who did this?” she asked again. She never became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?”
“Oh, oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. I did not do it on purpose (故意). It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me?
If I admitted (承认) it, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? “My father is going to get angry at me,” I thought. I didn’t want to raise (举起) my hand, but something much stronger than me pulled it up.
“I did it,” I said. Then I was silent. It was hard enough saying what I had.
My teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk. I had never known my teacher to strike (打) a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my face. “Here is the field guide about birds (鸟类野外指南) that you always check out from our school library. It is yours now. We have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished (惩罚). But remember, it’s only for your honesty.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide, the one that I had been saving up all my money to buy.
小题1:How did the writer feel when he saw his teacher walking towards him with a book from bookshelves?| A．Relaxed. | B．Pleased. | C．Frightened. | D．Guilty. |
小题2:What do the underlined words “check out” mean?| A．lend | B．borrow | C．test | D．buy |
小题3:What can we learn from the story?| A．The writer’s teacher often hit her students. | | B．The writer broke the window when he was catching a bird. | | C．The writer was seriously punished after he admitted his mistake. | | D．The writer didn’t want to admit his mistake at the beginning. |
小题4:The writer mainly wants to tell us that ______.| A．he who is honest is wise | B．better late than never | | C．practice makes perfect | D．a friend in need is a friend indeed |
|
小题1:C
小题2:B
小题3:D
小题4:A |

将下列各段按照正确的顺序重新排序，使文章通顺。| A． Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. | | B． Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” Said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.” | | C．And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them. | | D．Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me,”said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.” |
E. Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted. |
“You speak very good English”
The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English. “You 1 very good English.” But the student answered, “ No, my English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite
2 at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself 3 or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak it very well.” But the Chinese student still 4 saying “No”. 5 the foreigner gave up and didn’t know what to say.
What’s wrong with the student’s answer? It is because he didn’t accept a compliment as the American people 6 . He should have said “Thank you” instead of “No”. He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If someone says to a woman, “ You look 7 beautiful with the new clothes 8 .” she should be very happy and answer, “Thank you.” In our country we think 9 modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad behavior. But in the West, if you are modest and say, “ No, 10 I can’t do it well,” then the others will take it for granted (理所当然)that you 11 can not do it. If you often say,“No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by 12 . When 13 for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try on the job”, he or she can expect to get it. So in the West, one should always be confident. 14 self-confidence, he can’t go anywhere. Confidence is of great 15 to one in a country where competition is quite keen.(激烈)

Driving in China
I have been driving cars since I reached the pedals(踏板). In Canada you 1 16 to get a driver’s license. I 2 myself to be a very good driver.
I visited China 20 years ago. I with my wife was in Shanghai to give a paper at a conference. We 3 the number of bicycles on the roads and the few cars. In Canada almost each family has one car, but it was 4 that most Chinese depended on bicycles.
I 5 Shanghai and to other Chinese cities many times since then and have watched the fast changes on the roads. There are far fewer bicycles now but 6 cars. The roads are crowded, the government has been forced to limit the number of days some cars can 7 and the traffic jams are almost constant (经常的). So are the accidents. On a recent visit I saw four or five
8 within a two-week period.
To get a driver’s license in Canada, you must drive, with an examiner, on real roads and in real traffic. However, in China you learn on a closed course, 9 real traffic, get a license and only then are able to drive under real roads.
Driving in Canada and driving in China 10 two different experiences. In Canada there are traffic jams but they aren’t so bad. We have more traffic lights; we obey them and drivers are usually
11 , allowing other cars to cut in front of them knowing it won’t make much difference. In China, if you stop 12 another car cut in front of you will probably be there for a long time because once one car gets in, dozens of 13 will follow.
I would rather 14 the bus than drive my car in downtown Shanghai and Beijing. Because it’s 15 and stronger than most things that might run into it.
