She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No
way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We"re
moving house." "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but
what could we have done?She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an
animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more
creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such
an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven
knows what had happened to her at her previous owner"s. But eventually at the end of the first week
she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the
fire.
That"s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a
walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually
I couldn"t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as
fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking
(舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn"t know what had
happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies
were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,"
added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I"ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And
I"ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
B. Sympathetic.
C. Annoyed.
D. Upset.
B. was angry
C. ate a little
D. sat by the fire
B. heard familiar barkings
C. wanted to leave the author
D. found her way to her old home
B. effectiveness
C. importance
D. complexity

| When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr Lee. I knew I could see Mr Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there. After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, "You let that be the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street." That sentence sounds simple but it made me become who I am. At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the caf? and people who cleaned the buildings, and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be accepted, no mater how humble they are. I remember that after a few years of passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat. I"ve become vicepresident, but that hasn"t changed how I treat people. I speak to people wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile, you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello. 1. What is the best title of this passage? A. The Power of Being Talkative B. My Mother"s Influence on Me C. The Power of Saying Hello D. My Way to Become Vicepresident 2.

A. the writer didn"t like Mr Lee B. the writer didn"t say hello to Mr Lee on that occasion C. the writer didn"t get along well with his mother D.the writer"s mother stopped to say hello to everyone she met 3.

The president of the company thought the writer was much better than him. D. The president of the company actually didn"t like the writer at all. 4. For the writer, saying hello to others ________. A. is a way to get what he wants B. has become a habit and a way of life C. is a way to show respect for his mother D. is important in making him remembered 5.

| I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in an accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court. After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I"d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to treat another. Yet he charged me $ 155 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other part was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $ 770. Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…And I left without getting a cent. My experience taught me two things about America: Firstly, in America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides. | |||

| 3. The underlined word "charge" in the second passage means"____". | |||
| A. be responsible B. accuse C. ask as a price D. claim | |||
| 4. What conclusion can you draw from the story? | |||
| A. Going to court is something very common in America. B. One must be very careful while driving a car. C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides. D. Money is more important than other things in America | |||
