I decided to have dinner in the hotel, for I arrived late one night on a business trip. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in to dine. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It seemed to strike home all the more, because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I inquired as to what their bill was. He informed me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill. He asked if I knew them and I told him "No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other," and then I departed.
The next day I entered the restaurant to dine before my departure. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant.
When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were informed that it had been paid. When they inquired who had done this, the hostess told them they had no idea who I was, just retelling what I said.
The couple were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and departed, saying "Love begets(产生) Love" to the amazement of the hostess and waiter.
I smiled and said "That"s nice," and proceeded to order my meal.
About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I waited and waited and finally walked over to the hostess stand and explained that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay for my meal, because both the waiter and she felt compelled to pay my bill due to the joy that was brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
When I told her that they didn"t have to do that, she said with a smile "Love begets Love."
小题1:The writer’s purpose of writing the passage is to . | A．suggest love never dies | | B．share an interesting experience | | C．encourage us to help people in need | | D．prove a show of love really makes a difference |
小题2:Why did the elderly couple pay the bill of the two young couples? | A．Because they were always ready to help poor people. | | B．Because they were happy to pass the love they gained. | | C．Because they invited the young people to the meal. | | D．Because they didn’t want to take the advantage of the writer’s generosity. |
小题3:What can be inferred from the story?| A．The love between the elderly couple deeply touched the writer who was single. | | B．The young couples paid the bill of other customers in the restaurant. | | C．The waiter left on purpose and made the writer stay alone to test him. | | D．The writer did all this to prove his belief in love. |
小题4:Which of the following proverbs can best explain the theme of the story?| A．A good beginning makes a good ending. | | B．Where there is love, there is life. | | C．Love me, love my dog. | | D．As a man sows, so shall he reap (收获). |

It was terribly cold and nearly dark on the last evening of the old year, and the snow was falling fast. In the cold and the darkness, a poor little girl, with bare head and naked feet, wandered through the streets. It is true she had on a pair of slippers when she left home, but they were not of much use. They were very large, so large, indeed, that they had belonged to her mother, and the poor girl had lost them in running across the street to avoid two carriages that were rolling along at a terrible rate. One of the slippers she could not find, and a boy seized upon the other and ran away with it. So the little girl went on with her little naked feet, which were quite red and blue with the cold. In an old apron she carried a number of matches, and had a bunch of them in her hands. No one had bought anything of her the whole day, nor had any one given her even a penny.
Lights were shining from every window, and there was a delicious smell of roast goose, for it was New-year’s eve—yes, she remembered that. In a corner, between two houses, one of which projected beyond the other, she sank down and huddled（蜷缩）herself together. She had drawn her little feet under her, but she could not keep off the cold; and she dared not go home, for she had sold no matches, and could not take home even a penny of money. Her father would certainly beat her; besides, it was almost as cold at home as here.
小题1:The story happened ________.| A．on New-year Day | B．on Christmas | | C．on a rainy evening | D．on a snowy night |
小题2:From the passage we can learn that the little girl’s father ______.| A．is cruel to her | B．is kind to her | C．is patient with her | D．is popular with her |

There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee, the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.
The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK.
Then the professor asked about the cure (药剂) for illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.
“Good,” said the professor, “ and how much will you give the patient?”
“A full spoon”, answered the student.
“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr Professor, I’ve make a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.”
“I’m sorry, sir.” Said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.
小题1:The students were afraid of the professor because_________.| A．they often angered and disappointed him | | B．their answers often astonished him | | C．their answers seldom satisfied him | | D．he often misunderstood(误解) them and give them bad marks |
小题2:The student’s description of the illness was _____.| A．not correct | B．not satisfied | C．completely discouraging | D．accepted. |
小题3:Before he left the room the student was almost sure that ______.| A．he had passed the exam, and the only thing was to wait for the mark | | B．his last answer was satisfying | | C．he had made a mistake | | D．he had not done well in the exam. |
小题4:Which of the following is Not true?| A．The patient will be in danger if he’s taken as much as a full spoon. | | B．The doctor will be in trouble if he’s given the patient a full spoon. | | C．Since one spoon is less than five drops, the patient will be all right soon if he takes only one full spoon at a time. | | D．If the patient wants to remain safe, he should take no more than five drops at a time. |
小题5:Which guess is the most reasonable from the passage?| A．The student must have passed the exam. | | B．The student may not have passed the exam. | | C．The student must have been very happy when he heard, “Your patient has died.” | | D．The professor must have been very pleased and given the student a good mark. |
