The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had，the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning，the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” “Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune，I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed，the angel of death(死神) came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”

试题分析：文章介绍了有两个旅行的天使第一个晚上住在了一个富人的家里，富人让他们住在地窑里，这两个天使在休息的时候发现地窑的墙上有个洞，就把它堵上了。第二天住在了一个穷人的家里，虽然穷，但他们拿出了他们很有限的食物和天使一起吃，让他们好好的休息。不幸的是，这个穷人家里唯一的收入，一头奶牛去死了，一个天使就问为什么不忙这个穷人。另一个天使说，那个富人太贪婪，我就把那个储藏金子的洞堵上了，而死神是要把穷人的一妻子带走的，而我就给上帝说，让那头奶牛代替了那个妻子的命，所以人看到的都是表面现象。
小题1:C细节理解题。Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. 句意为：两个旅行的天使在一个富人的家里住了一个晚上。第二个晚上，这两个天使就去一个穷人的家里，他们穷，但他们很好客。所以答案应为C。
小题2:B细节理解题。Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,”那个年轻的天使说：你为什么不警惕那头奶牛呢？第一个人拥有一切，但是你却查看了他的房子。所以他生气的原因是对穷人和对富人不公平，故答案应为B。
小题3:D细节理解题。Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed，the angel of death(死神) came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead.句意为：昨天晚上，当我们在穷人家里睡觉的时候，死神是为他的妻子而来的，我就问上帝，天使是否可以把那头母牛拉走代替他的妻子。故答案应为D，他想拯救他的妻子。
小题4:A细节理解题。最后一自然段的意思是上帝在富人的地窑里发现了有个储藏黄金的洞，上帝把它堵上了，富人发现不了，而第二个是天使要带走妻子的命，上帝就救了她。文中两次提到上帝说的一句话，Things aren’t always what they seem。意思是说事情并不是他们的表面现象。故答案应为A。

Maybe it was because I was listening to the radio, maybe it was because I was already thinking about some projects at work, that I didn’t spot the dark object on the road until I was too late. I ran over it and felt the back left tire pull, and then sink. I stopped and got out of the car.
No mystery here---- my back left tyre was cut like a loaf of bread. Back 50 yards was a piece of sharp iron I had run over. I had never changed a tyre. I looked up the road. Not a car in either direction. The nearest service station was miles away. I threw up my hands. Then I remembered---- my cell phone! I powered it up before realizing, I didn’t know who to call.
Wouldn’t you know it, I spotted a car coming from the opposite direction. The driver slowed as he approached. I guessed he could see I was in trouble. He stopped his car, got out and immediately saw the trouble. “Madam, would you like me to change that tyre for you?” he asked. The man couldn’t have been more friendly. I was frightened out there and he put me completely at ease. “There,” he said, after putting on the spare, “you are all set to go.”
“Good thing for me that you were driving this way,” I told him, as I climbed back into my car.
“Funny you should say that,” he said. “Just like you, I was heading to work, but my job is in the opposite direction. I made a wrong turn at some point. I don’t know what I was thinking.”

The next morning I went down to the at about 5 A. M., and four hours later I the call to come down to West Street. I called my wife and told her not to me, and that I would stay in with her. I took the subway. It stopped at West Fourth Street, so I had to the rest of the way.
And somewhere in there I became when I went into something I . I once worked there in 1966 for the of the World Trade Centre.

It was as if they had the bulls go in Spain and we were running through the street. People falling down, people them up as they came by, and carrying them, just to get them out of the way, because something was extremely . I didn’t even look back.

I tried talking to the man to kill time. I managed to find out that he had come up from Blue Hills in Victoria with his family six months ago to find a job. This was his first job since moving here. I now knew why his price was lower than any other worker I could find in the local newspaper. He really needed the job. His clothes told me as much.
On arriving, much to my surprise, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked through his front garden he suddenly stopped at a small tree and placed his hands on it. Then, when he opened the door he completely changed. Instead of his troubled face, there was now a warm smile, hugs for his two children and a kiss for his wife.
The following day, I asked him about the tree.
"That"s my trouble tree," he answered. "Work troubles aren"t welcome at home with my wife and the children. So I hang them on that tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. "
"And you know what else?" he said smiling,"The next morning I find that there aren"t as many as I remember hanging up the night before. "

Of course, his secret was not magic or supernatural power. It was simply strength. He had the ability to move his toes as well as he moved his fingers. He could move his body into almost any position he wanted.
Houdini started working in the entertainment world when he was 17, in 1891. He and his brother Theo performed card tricks in clubs in New York. They called themselves the Houdini Brothers. When Harry married in 1894, he and his wife Bess worked together as magician and assistant. But for a long time they were not very successful. Then Harry performed his first prison escape in Chicago in 1898. Harry persuaded a detective to let him try to escape from the prison, and he invited the local newspapermen to watch.
It was the publicity (宣传) that came from this that started Harry Houdini’s success. Harry had fingers trained to escape from handcuffs and toes trained to escape from ankle chains. But his biggest secret was how he unlocked the prison doors. Every time he went into the prison cell, Bess gave him a kiss for good luck and a small skeleton key, which is a key that fits many locks. She passed it quickly from her mouth to his.
Harry used these prison escapes to build his fame. He arranged to escape from the local prison of every town he visited. In the afternoon, the people of the town would read about it in their local newspapers, and in the evening every seat in the local theater would be full. What was the result? Worldwide fame and a name remembered today.
