While my wife went ahead into our friend" s house, I stepped into the street.
“Hey,” I said, “this parking space belongs to that guy.” I gestured towards the man ahead, who was looking back angrily.At that moment I was feeling pretty manly.
“ Mind your own business!” the driver told me.

Perhaps half an hour later, the doorbell rang.For some reason I was sure that the huge man had returned for me.My blood ran cold.My hostess got up to answer it, but I stopped her.I knew I had to face up to my fear.
I opened the door.There he stood.“I came back to apologize,” he said in a low voice.“I am ashamed of myself.The Brooklyn Navy Yard where I"ve worked for ten years is closing.Today I got laid off.I" m not myself.I hope you’ ll accept my apology.”

“This Friday we"ll have the yearly Egg Drop Challenge,” said our science teacher, Mr. Baker. “You can work alone or with a partner.”
My friend, Cassie, and I smiled at each other. We always worked on projects   36 .
The   37  of the challenge was simple—to build a protective container to keep an egg from breaking when   38  the stadium wall.
I made my sandwich that afternoon while waiting for Cassie.   39   the butter-cream gave me an idea.
“I have a brilliant design for our   40  container!” I said when Cassie arrived. “We can 41 the egg with some butter-cream.”
“Why not put the egg in a basket with a parachute   42 ?” Cassie rolled her eyes. “The parachute is better than that stupid idea.”
I couldn"t believe it. Of course we"d had our little   43  in the past, but she"d never called any of my ideas   44  ” before.
“Then I’ll build mine and you build yours!”
  45  words had been out, our friendship was challenged.
When Friday finally arrived, I had to   46   Cassie’s Egg Force One looked pretty good. 47, my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn"t look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose eggs survived   48  three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.
After four rounds, only Cassie and I were   49 . I let go of my box. I heard someone say “ew” after seconds. Had my egg broken? I raced down the   50 . The sidewalk was dotted with egg shells(蛋壳) from those   51  drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent Egg Cream.
“That looks like egg drop soup, Laura,” Cassie said. She was holding her Egg Force One. My 52  raced. Had she won? I looked at her basket.   53 .
“My egg bounced (弹起)   54 ,” she explained, pointing to a broken shell.
“A tie(平局),” Mr. Baker said.
Cassie looked at me, and her glare(瞪眼) 55 . I laughed. She smiled…

The law is a great mass of rules, showing when and how far a man is possible to be punished, or to be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so on. These rules are contained in books. A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books.
He begins by doing nothing but read, and after he has prepared himself by three years study practice, still, all his life long and almost every day, he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new questions which he has to answer.
The power to use books, then is a special skill which the would - be lawyer ought to possess. He ought to have enough flexibility(灵活性)to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to have no difficulty in finding what a book contains, and something of an instinct(直觉)for where to look for what he wants.
But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite it; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble.
小题1: After three years of reading________.
A.he can study law
B.he can stop reading
C.he still has to continue reading
D.he is able to give clever answers
小题2: The major business of a lawyer is________.
A.to discuss the material he has read
B.to advise people who have law problems
C.to learn about real life
D.to study the law
小题3: According to the passage, a good lawyer should know how to________.
A.understand and use what he reads
B.be convenient in everything
C.collect ideas from different source
D.use power in the court

Even if he is not the most liked comedian in China today, his popularity certainly has risen the fastest within the last two months.
He"s "Little Shenyang", who came into national fame overnight after his appearance on CCTV"s Spring Festival Gala. With his funny cross-dressing, unique northeastern accent and superb imitative(模仿的) skills, Little Shenyang has obvious talent to support his rise to fame.
Hundreds of video clips of his shows have been posted on YouTube and other online video sites, and his performance fees reportedly grew 50-fold in just a few weeks. He has, at the same time, become one of the most controversial of entertainers.
Many have doubted his artistic potential, pointing out that his shows were repetitive and lacked creativity, a key to continued comedic success. Others belittle (轻视) the style of humor, saying it"s too crude and appeals only to less-educated people. His defenders were just as up in arms. Many media commentators and bloggers said that his quick rise to star proved the broad appeal of his art form. He became a national champion not because of his "northeastern hick(乡巴佬)" humor, they argued, but because he represented something new on TV, something with a grassroots feel that appealed to millions of ordinary people.
Now, does Little Shenyang really deserve his star status?
小题1: Some people belittle Little Shenyang’s humor because _________. 
A.He represents something with a grassroots feel.
B.The style of humor lacked creativity.
C.He speaks with a northeast accent.
D.He became famous overnight.
小题2:What’s the secret of Little Shenyang’s success?                 
A.His funny cross-dressing.
B.His unique accent
C.His super imitative skills
D.All of the above
小题3:From the passage, we can infer that _________.                
A.Little Shenyang is the most popular comedian in China.
B.Few people like Little Shenyang’s performance.
C.Little Shenyang earns a lot of money now.
D.The author thinks little of Little Shenyang.
