举一反三
One cold night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco.There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a   31  practice at the theatre. With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having   32  handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about  33  both acting and San Francisco. I had  34  too much of city life.
As I walked down the  35  streets under the tall buildings, I felt very small and cold, so I began  36  both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out  37  a few homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my  38 , I heard a sound behind me. I   39  quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me  40  so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I   41  what the noise had been. It had been my wallet  42  to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk   43  for 15 minutes, my wallet was   44  to be found.
Just as I was about to quit the  45  , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to  46  . When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde(金发碧眼的) man with an  47  look in his eyes. “Is this  48  you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up something like a wallet.
It was already 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I couldn’t get much sleep, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some  49  of city life. I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place  50  people were willing to help each other.

In the kitchen of my mother"s houses there has always been a wooden stand with a small notepad and a hole for a pencil.
I"m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can"t be the same pencil. The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
"I"m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years." I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. "You still use a pencil. Can"t you afford a pen?"
My mother replies a little sharply. "It works perfectly well; I"ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days. "
Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, "One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on."
This story, which happened before I was born, reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible exhibits at every meal.
小题1:Why has the author"s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?
A.To leave messages.
B.To list her everyday tasks.
C.To note down math problems.
D.To write down a flash of inspiration.
小题2:What is the author"s original opinion about the wooden stand?
A.It has great value for the family.
B.It needs to be replaced.
C.It brings her back to her lonely childhood.
D.It should be passed on to the next generation.
小题3:The author feels embarrassed for____________.
A.blaming her mother wrongly
B.giving her mother a lot of trouble
C.not making good use of time as her mother did
D.not making any breakthrough in her field
小题4:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The mother is successful in her career.
B.The family members like traveling.
C.The author had little time to play when young.
D.The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.

The fictional Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan was the subject of popular books and movies for many decades. In recent years, however, the character has been criticized as an ill image of Asian-Americans.
Yunte Huang, an English professor at the University of California, says that’s not the case. He has been exploring the character and real-life policeman who inspired him.
Charlie Chan has been a familiar character to readers and film-goers, beginning in the 1920s. The detective solved crimes around the world in more than 40 films through the 1940s, and with the invention of television, found a new audience in the 1950s and 1960s.
Huang discovered Charlie Chan through books by American author Earl Derr Biggers, who created the character.
“One day, I happened to find two Charlie Chan novels. At that point I thought I knew that he was a negative character against Asians, but when I read the book,” he says, “I was immediately attracted. Ever since then, I’ve been a fan of Charlie Chan.”
As a fan of the books and films, Huang was surprised to learn that Charlie Chan was based on a real detective named Chang Apana, who was born to Chinese parents in Hawaii around 1871. Apana worked as a cowboy, and joined the Honolulu police force in 1898.
“He almost immediately became a local legend because as a former cowboy,” says Huang, “he would walk the most dangerous areas in Chinatown carrying a bullwhip(皮鞭)instead of a gun. He didn’t need that.”
Although some say the image of Charlie Chan, with his broken English, is embarrassing for Asian-Americans, Huang believes Chan’s broken English and unusual ancient sayings were part of his charm(魅力).
“Let me just quote(引用)a few – ‘Actions speak louder than French,’ or ‘Mind like parachute (降落伞). Only function when open.’ Charlie Chan always owes these instructive sayings to Confucius’ eastern wisdom.
For Huang, the fictional Charlie Chan is highly entertaining, while the real-life policeman, Chang Apana, is a Chinese-American success, whose story is worth telling.
小题1:The passage mainly talks about ______________.
A.how Yunte Huang discovered Charlie Chan
B.how Charlie Chan became famous in the US
C.what Yunte Huang thought of Charlie Chan
D.how a cowboy became a famous detective
小题2:According to the passage, we know that Charlie Chan __________.
A.was a character in books and movies based on a real detective
B.was a famous actor starring in movies beginning from the 1920s
C.was a famous detective solving crimes all over the world
D.was a Chinese immigrant who became a local legend
小题3:Chang Apana didn’t need a gun as a weapon because__________.
A.he had his personal charm
B.he liked being a cowboy
C.he was not a true policeman
D.a bullwhip was more useful
小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.American author Earl Derr Biggers gave an ill picture of Asian-Americans
B.Yunte Huang believes Charlie Chan represents Asian wisdom in some way
C.Chan’s story was more popular with TV audience than readers and film-goers
D.Charlie Chan became an ill image of Asian-Americans when it first appeared.

Einstein was the greatest scientist of his age. But he was almost as strange as his Theory of Relativity.
Once, while riding a street car in Berlin, he told the conductor that he had been given too much change. The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct, so he handed it back to Einstein, saying “The trouble with you is you don’t know your figures.”
He had nothing and thought little of the things most people set their hearts on— fame and money. He didn’t want money or praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anything else in life.
He led a very simple sort of life, went around in old clothes that needed pressing, seldom wore a hat, He shaved (刮胡子)with the same soap that he used for his bath. The man who was trying to solve the most difficult problems of the universe said that using two kinds of soap made his life completely too complicated(复杂的).
小题1:From the second paragraph we know Einstein _____.
A.wasn’t good at maths
B.enjoyed playing jokes
C.had some trouble with figures
D.didn’t care about money at all
小题2:Einstein was most interested in ______ in life.
