One day last month after I received my salary, I went shopping with my little son. 1 in the
crowded store, I had my pocket 2 and my whole salary was gone with it. I was so angry that I almost
lost 3 of myself. We were not very rich. The money was 4 not a small sum for my family. It
would 5 our life greatly. What could I do? How could I tell my wife?
I felt very sad and even 6 for losing the money and had no choice but go back home. In order to
make up for my 7 mistake, I gathered all my strength to give our house a thorough cleaning and then
8 a wonderful meal and cooked a special dish my wife loved to 9 her.
When she came home, I gave a smile to 10 her. She was surprised to see the neat house and
delicious meal. I told my story 11 while we were sitting at t he table eating. To my 12 , she did not
respond immediately. It was as if she had not heard my 13 .
"I"ve lost my salary," I murmured to her again.
"I see," she did not shout at me as I had 14 . She didn"t lose her 15 . So I was afraid she
was trying hard to control her 16 . A moment later, my wife was still 17 and seemed to be
enjoying her favorite dish. At last I could not help 18 , "I"ve lost the money. Why not shout at
me?" 19 her eyes, she looked at me and said, Oh, on the contrary, I"m thinking about how to
20 you. It"s the thief who is to blame. |

D．wisdom | | Reading comprehension | Last week I visited one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D.C. I had not been there for twenty
years and as I walked along the street, my mind was flooded by memories of the past. I saw the old
apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played. As I viewed these once
familiar surroundings, images of myself as a child there came to mind. However, what I saw and what I
remembered were not the same. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.
My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more than just a place to live.
It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away
with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and
there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We
would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.
However, what I saw was completely different. The apartment building was now in disrepair. What
was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. The
once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was
polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet-smelling river now smelled terrible. It
was really heartbreaking to see all this.
I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood
memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say, "You can never go home again." | |

D. a visit to one"s hometown will bring back many sad memories | | 阅读理解。 | At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible site for a house. I have thus
searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one
after another, and I knew their prices.
The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before
the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered
me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the dollars and sold him the farm
for just what I gave for it.
The real attractions of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the
village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded (相邻) on one side by the river, and separated from
the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used
for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a
forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down
the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it
before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t think I was ready for a
large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted (无牵挂的). It makes
but little difference whether you own a farm or not. | | 1.What do we know about the author? | A. He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he live.
B. He made a study of many farms before buying.
C. He made money by buying and selling farms.
D. He had the money to buy the best farm in the country. | | 2.Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place? | A. It was of good market value.
B. It was next to the highway.
C. It was is a good position.
D. It was behind a nice garden. | | 3.Why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry? | A. He was afraid the owner might change his mind.
B. He hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm.
C. He wanted to keep the farm as it was.
D. He was eager to become a farm owner. | | 4.The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refer to ________. | A. the money the author lost in buying the farm
B. the sale of the garden in the Hollowell place
C. the removal of the trees around the house
D. the failure to possess the Hollowell place | | 5.What does the author believe as important in life? | A. To own a farm.
B. To satisfy his needs.
C. To be free from worries.
D. To live in the countryside. | I am a senior in college, and my major is elementary education. But the thing is, even though I am
going to become a teacher I have a horrible fear of giving presentations. My main problem is that I shake, which causes my paper to move when I hold it. Also I feel my heart beating so fast that I almost cannot
hear myself or pay attention to anything else. In my other semesters I only had one presentation which
only lasted for a few minutes. This, however, is my professional semester and there are about three
presentations per class and some of them have to be 30 minutes long! Now I feel like I"m in the wrong
field because of how nervous I become. But the thing is, I have already had students taught and have a lot of experience with children, and when I am around children I am completely comfortable. Children don"t
judge people and I just don"t get nervous around them. That is why I don"t understand why they make us
do so many presentations in front of our peers (同龄人) as if they were children!
I am just so nervous about getting up in front of my class this semester! I can"t stop fearing it and I"m
set for failure. It"s strange. I have a good friend in my class and I seem to be more nervous with her being
there than when she is not there! Maybe that"s because I don"t know or don"t really care about the rest of
the students in the class. | | 1. The author will have to ____ in his / her future job. | A. deal with freshmen in college
B. deal with students in elementary school
C. make many public presentations in front of his / her peers
D. work with his / her good friends | 2. Which of the following words can best describe the author"s feeling when he / she is giving
presentations? | A. Worried.
B. Tense.
C. Exciting.
D. Disappointed. | | 3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____. | A. the author only feels nervous when his / her friend is present
B. the author performs better when his / her friend is not there
C. the author is disliked by most of his / her classmates
D. the author is eager to get help and support from his / her friend | | 4. The text is mainly about ____. | A. how to get rid of the fear of giving presentations
B. an interesting experience of the author in the professional semester
C. stories about the relationship between the author and his / her friend
D. the author"s problem of giving presentations |
