阅读理解。     A few days ago I got a call from my old college friend whom I haven"t seen for a very long time.
The topic, which was about all the good old times that we had changed to a touching story when he
started talking about his father.
     His father"s declining health made him stay at the hospital. Because of his illness, his father suffered
from insomnia(失眠) and often talked to himself. My friend, who had not been able to sleep for a few
days as he had to keep watching his father"s condition, became irritated and told his father to keep silent
and try to get some sleep. His father said that he really wanted to sleep well because he was very tired
and told my friend to leave him alone in the hospital if he did not want to keep him company.
     After his father finished talking, he fell unconscious(失去知觉) . My friend was very sorry for
speaking the ill words towards his father. My friend, whom I knew as a tough person, cried as a baby
on the other end of the telephone. He said that from that moment on, he prayed every day, asking God
to let his father wake up from his coma. He promised himself that whatever words came out from his
father"s mouth after he regained his consciousness, he would gladly take them. His only hope for God
was to give him a chance to rectify his past mistake.
     Often, we complain when we have to accompany or watch over our parents for years, months, days,
hours or even minutes. But do we realize that our parents keep us company and watch over us for as
long as we (or they)live? From the day we were born to our adulthood, and even when deaths come to
us, they are always at our side.
     Imagine how sad our parents will be when they hear a seemingly innocent word of "no" come out
from our mouths. We can make promises to ourselves that from now on there will be no more complaints
that come out from our mouths when we have to watch over or accompany our parents. No more
complaints come out from our mouths when we feel that our parents have treated us like little children.
There are so many unlucky ones who have neither fathers nor mothers. They long to have the things that
we most complain about, but never have them.
     Actually, it takes only a second to think and light the lamp that will bring us to a place where peace is
dwelling.1. Which of the following word can be used to describe the writer"s friend?A. Sad              
B. Sorry              
C. Regretful        
D. Pitiful2. What does the underlined word "rectify" mean in Para. 3?A. put…right

     Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he    1    up his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his    2   expensive "school" fees. He always owes his success to it.
     At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph. Degree, decided to return to the homeland, starting a
company. Before    3  , he bought a Rolex watch with the    4   made through years of work after school
and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check. The watch on his wrist
was also demanded to be    5   down for inspection. Glen knew that carrying the    6   goods out had to
pay the tax. And he worried about paying    7   for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that
his watch was a worthless    8  . When he was    9   of his "smarts", immediately,   10   the presence of
Glen, the officers hit the watch, which    11   nearly ¥100,000, into pieces at hearing Glen"s words. Glen was amazed.    12   he understood why, he was taken to the office to be    13   strictly. For many times of entryexit    14   he knew that only those people in the "blacklist" would "enjoy" this special treatment. The
officers looked out every thing carefully in the box, and warned him    15   time of entry and exit he must
accept the check and if    16   reusing and carrying fake and shoddy (劣质的) goods, he would be
charged according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after   17   the plane
for long.
     After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said
that this made a deep    18   on him, because an additional high "school" fee that he had ever paid made
him realize the value of    19 , which he would    20   as the secret of his success forever.

have a job for you. Look at the farm across the creek (河沟). My younger brother lives there. It was he
who used his bulldozer (推土机) to dig the creek last week to spite (刁难) me. So I want you to build me a fence, an 8 foot high fence, in order not to see his place any more." The carpenter smiled and said, "I
see. I"ll try to do a job that satisfies you." Then the elder brother went downtown.

wide! To his surprise, there was no fence there at all! Instead, there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work! He saw his younger brother coming to him with the hands outstretching. The brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each
other"s hands. They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I"ve a lot of other work for you," said the elder brother. "I"d love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but I have so many more bridges to build."
