the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call "books".
I was going to have my examination the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn"t
answer. In fact I dared not.
The clock struck twelve. "Oh, dear!" I cried. "Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!" We
pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have
to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite desperate now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on.
I did the only thing I could. I prayed, "Oh God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen." My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes
later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

get the paper out, either. A week later, the paper was still in the boy"s nose. His nose began to have a bad smell.
So his mother took the boy to a hospital. The doctor looked up at the child"s nose, but she couldn"t
get the paper out. She said she had to cut the boy"s nose to get the paper out.
The boy"s mother came home looking sad. She didn"t want her child to have his nose cut. The next
day she took the boy to her friend Sidney who lived in a house with an old lady called May. May wanted
to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose.
"Yes, I can see it," May said. "It will be out soon."
As she spoke, she shook some black pepper on the child"s nose. The child gave a mighty sneeze and
the paper flew out. His mother was surprised. May told his mother to take the boy to the seaside for a
swim, for the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell.
So the lucky boy didn"t have to go to the hospital to have his nose cut.

C. he did nothing but cry
D. he tried to take it out but failed

strange light thrown against the tree. "I knew it wasn"t the moon", he said. "I drive this road all the time
and I notice little things out of place."
Duffy stopped his car and got out to examine. Below him far down in the deep valley lay a broken
car with its headlights on. Thirty minutes earlier, a man had driven off the edge of the road, which has no
guardrail. His car fell and rolled end over end, landing on its top more than two hundred feet below.
Duffy rushed to call for help, then returned and got down to reach the injured driver. Snow covered
the valley and the temperature was below freezing. After struggling back up the cliff, Duffy took off his
jacket and shirt and wrapped the injured man in time, along with the blankets from his car.
Life-saving deeds are starting to become usual action for Duffy, the oldest of seven children. When
he was 12, he saved his ten-year-old brother from drowning. Two years ago, his three-year-old sister
ate rat poison, and Duffy cleaned out her mouth, make her drink milk to protect her stomach and called
doctors.

Champlain is regarded as the first person to see a monster in it. This is reported to have happened in 1609,
but this may not have been the first sighting of the monster known as Champ.
A reporter in the 1960"s found that the sighting may not have been in the lake at all. It is more likely that
the first sighting was off the coast of the St. Lawrence estuary (河口). In all likelihood, the first sighting of
the lake monster in the lake itself took place at Port Henry, New York, in 1819 by settlers in the territory.
The sightings continued, and in 1883 the sheriff (州长) of Clinton County, Nathan Mooney, described
witnessing " an enormous snake that was 25 to 30 feet in length".
Sandra Mansi and her husband were vacationing in Vermont. When the lake monster appeared, they
took a picture of Champ. The picture was analyzed and it was concluded that the photo was real. It has
been speculated (推测) that the monster may be a creature known as a plesiosaur (颈项龙), which lived many centuries ago.
Lake Champlain has depths of up to 400 feet, and is an outlet to the Atlantic Ocean. There is plenty of
food there, which supports the existence of such a creature. Lake Champlain also has a water temperature
that is ideal for such a creature. In recent years a smaller creature has been seen with the large one. Could
there be a family of these creatures in the lake reproducing their yet unknown species now? Only time will
give us the answers that we seek.
B. At Port Henry.
C. In the Clinton County.
D. In Vermont.
B. That the picture taken by Sandra Mansi is real.
C. That the monster is the offspring of the plesiosaur.
D. When and where the lake monsters were first seen
B. Champ has had so many babies that they can be seen everywhere in the lake.
C. The first recorded story about the Lake Champlain monster was in 1609.
D. Enough food and a suitable water temperature is evidence that Champ can live there
Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, they came the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the
night.
"Could you possibly give us a room here?" the husband asked.
The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were
three conventions in town. "All of our rooms are taken," the clerk said. "But I can"t send a nice couple
like you out into the rain at one o"clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my
room? It"s not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night."
When the couple declined, the young man pressed on. "Don"t worry about me; I"ll make out just fine."
the clerk told them.So the couple agreed.
As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, "You are the kind of manager
who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday I"ll build one for you."
The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the
elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both
friendly and helpful isn"t easy.
Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old
man. It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a roundtrip ticket to New York, asking the young man to
pay them a visit.
The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th street. He
then pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting
up to the sky. "That," said the older man, "is the hotel I have just built for you to manage." "You must be
joking, " the young man said. "I can assure you I am not," said the older man, a sly smile playing around
his mouth.
The older man"s name was William Waldorf Astor, and that magnificent structure was the original
WaldorfAstoria Hotel. The young clerk who became its first manager was George C. Boldt. This young
clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the world"s
most glamorous hotels.
B. cover some facts
C. promote the business of WaldorfAstoria Hotel
D. deliver a lesson
B. The old couple was too poor to afford a luxurious room.
C. The clerk was willing to help those in need.
D. The clerk received an unexpected invitation from the old man.
B. suites
C. meetings
D. hotels
B. Make hay while the sun shines.
C. Man proposes; God disposes (处理, 决定).
D. One good turn deserves another.
