friend. As they went 2 , they saw lying in the path a pair of old _3 , which were supposed to belong

play the man a 5 : We will hide his shoes, and 6 ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see
his 7 when he cannot find them."
"My young friend," answered the professor, "we should never 8 ourselves at the 9 of the
poor. But you are 10 , and you may give yourself a much greater 11 by means of the rich man.
Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and 12 how the discovery affects him."
The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes. The poor man soon finished
his work, and came 13 the field to the path 14 he had left his coat and shoes. While 15 his
coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling something 16 , he bent down to feel 17

| 阅读理解 | A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking
care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad.
Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected
to comfort him and keep up his spirits.
Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was
having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the
patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical
treatment and he seldom shouted at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the
old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to
offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering
coma (昏迷) a few times.
When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, "I have deep
sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?"
But the doctor knew that her family was welloff and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies.
Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father"s car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad
news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, "The
old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that
I could continue my schooling." Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the

The house had been one of Aunt Bernie"s favorite places to stay. Lately, I had earned some 5
income by renting it out. New renters were 6 to arrive that afternoon.
The house has no electricity, so I had to 7 there was enough propane (丙烷) in the tank to

I continued down the path, 16 the urge to light up again. Reaching the house, I opened the
door. Whoa! I stepped back. The 17 was strong. Propane gases! I ran around to the back and
found the problem. The previous 18 had forgotten to turn off the propane tank before they left.
The house had been 19 up with gas for a week!

D. disappointed | | 阅读理解 | Much as Robby tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm (节奏). But he dutifully
reviewed his lessons. Over the months he tried and tried, and often repeated to me "My mom"s
going to hear me play some day."
But he seemed hopeless, with no born ability. A real bad advertisement for my teaching! I was
so happy when one day he stopped coming.
Several weeks later my students were to have a recital (演奏会). To my surprise, Robby came,
asking to play in the recital.
"But, it is for current pupils; you dropped."
"My mom was sick. But I have been practicing. I"ve just got to play!"
I didn"t know what led me to agree, maybe...
The recital came. I__put__Robby__up__last__to__play__before__my__"curtain__closer", by
which, I could save the recital if...
The recital went on well. Robby came up on stage, clothes wrinkled and his hair looked like
he"d run an eggbeater through it. "How could his mom...?"
Robby pulled out the piano bench and began. It was Mozart"s work! I was not prepared for
what I heard next. Like in a dream, I was then woken up by the wild applause-everybody was on
their feet!
"I"ve never heard you play like that, Robby! How"d you do it?"
Through the microphone Robby explained: "Well, Miss Hondorf, remember I told you my mom
was sick? Actually she had cancer and died this morning. She was born deaf, and tonight was the
first time she ever heard me play. I wanted to make it special."
My eyes were wet. He was not a student of mine, but a teacher! | | 1. We can infer from the underlined sentence that the writer ________. | A. was fully confident that Robby would perform well in the recital

D. escape | | 阅读理解 | Long ago, near the village of Hedley, there lived a strange and playful trickster (骗子), known as the
Hedley Kow. Sometimes it looked like an ordinary object. Sometimes it looked like a donkey or a goat.
One evening, as an old woman went along the path, she saw an old iron pot lying in the ditch. "Fancy
that," she said. "Nobody seems to want this old pot. I will take it home and plant pretty flowers in it."
When she tried to lift it, she saw that it was full of gold pieces. "Well, now, if that doesn"t beat all," she
said. "I"m rich! I can buy a fine house and fancy clothes."
The pot was heavy, so she tied her shawl around it and began to drag it home. After a while, she
stopped to rest. When she looked in the pot, she was amazed to see that it was full of silver pieces!
"Oh, my God!" she said. "Aren"t I the lucky one! If it were gold, thieves would have been after me. My friends might have been jealous. But I can hide these silver pieces, take out a few at a time, and live like a queen."
On she went, pulling the pot after her. She was nearing home now. At her gate, she looked into the pot. What a surprise! The silver had changed into a lump (块) of iron. "Iron," she said. "Well, now! No one will be jealous or want to steal this from me. I can use this iron to prop my door open and let in fresh air and
sunlight. Lucky me!"
As soon as she said that, the pot began to grow and later it became a goat. Then it jumped up and ran off down the road laughing.
"Fancy that!" said the old woman. "I believe I have seen the Hedley Kow! Not many folks can say that, and that"s a fact. I"ll just sit up by my fire tonight thinking about how lucky I was to see it for myself. I truly must be the luckiest person in the world!" | | 1. Which of the following sayings can best describe this story? | A. All good things come to an end.
