I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I wailed and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. "You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you," said the woman. "It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do no."
Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mm-k enjoyed giving them to us.
I would like to say "thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets (毯子) and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

| C．On New Year’s Day. | D．After New Year’s Day. |

答案
小题1:B
小题1:B
小题1:C
小题1:D
小题1:D
解析
1. Ｂ 根据文章The third Saturday in December可知在12月18号左右，故在圣诞节之前，选Ｂ。
2. Ｂ 从Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I wailed and watched in the car可知在作者等待停车时Mark已自己提了篮子在超市了，故选Ｂ。
3. Ｃ 根据There was a hole in his pocket, but no money可知Mark的口袋有个洞钱不见了，故选Ｃ。
4. Ｄ 根据A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms及Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter可知妇女给了钱让Mark去付款，故应该感谢她，选Ｄ。
5. Ｄ 主旨题的考查。根据后面妇女给了钱让Mark付款及她说的话It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me可知Ｄ正确，而Ａ,Ｂ只是文章的一个方面，文章并没有提到一家人，故Ｃ也不对。

Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’ d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.
Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.

| A．was just a rich businessman | B．worked hard all the time |
| C．lived a rich but healthy life | D．knew how to make money |
| A．the best part of the watermelon | B．the writer’s busy life |
| C．the writer’s decision of making money | D．the writer’s hope of enjoying life |
| A．one has to work hard to reach his goal | B．a friend in need is a friend in deed |
