     One night, as Diaz stepped off the train and onto a nearly empty platform, a teenage boy approached
and pulled out a knife.
     "He wanted my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, "Here you go "" Diaz says.
     As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, "Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you"re
going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm."
     The robber looked at him puzzled, saying, "Why are you doing this?"
     Diaz replied, "If you"re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then you must really need the
money. I mean, all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me….."
     Diaz says he and the teen went into a diner and sat in a booth.
     "The manager comes by, the dishwashers come by, the waiters come by to say hi," Diaz says.
     The kid said, "You know everybody here. Do you own this place?"
     "No, I just eat here a lot," Dias said. "But you"re even nice to the dishwasher," he said.
     Diaz replied, "Well, haven"t you been taught you should be nice to everybody?"
     "Yea, but I didn"t think people actually behaved that way," the teen said.
     When the bill arrived, Diaz said, "You"re going to have to pay for this bill because you have my
money and I can"t pay for this. So if you give me my wallet back, I"ll gladly treat you."
     The teen returned it immediately. "I gave him $20…I figure maybe it"ll help him." Diaz says he asked
for something in return--- the teen"s knife--- "and he gave it to me."
     Afterwards, when Diaz told his mother what happened, she said, "You"re the type of kid that if
someone asked you for the time, you gave them your watch."
     "I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right. It"s as simple
as it gets in this complicated world."
1. What did Diaz do to the teen?
A. He gave the teen a new wallet
B. He treated the teen to dinner
C. He gave his coat to the teen
D. He taught the teen a lesson

     Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this
from a musical soul.
     The other day I was feeling quite   1  , having just been laid off from my job. With so many   2  
to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family.
I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the   3  . I walked a
bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the   4   I saw a young lady sitting at
a piano with a box next to her.
     She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice   5   me a bit. Then I stood there watching
her playing, thinking that it must take   6   to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she
didn"t know.
     She might have felt my   7   for she occasionally looked in my direction.
By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked   8   and put
some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.
     I asked her   9  , "Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?"
     She explained to me that she sees so many   10   people in the world that she is trying to relieve the
pain by   11   motivational music.
     Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, "I have been going through a   12   time lately, but
you"ve made me   13   again."
     "I"m happy that I could be   14   to you," she replied. "Why are you so sad?"
     I told her my story and said, "I"m not so   15   about what to do…."
     "You see, here"s the   16  ," she responded. "When you were walking, your head was down." She
looked me in the eyes and went on, "Don"t look defeated, because   17   comes in different ways and
if your head is down you might never see it. You should   18   more …lift your head up."
I was really   19   by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.
So   20   in trouble, just face it bravely and you are sure to overcome your difficulty sooner or later.

     The silent young woman in bed number six is called Jasmine. So am I, but names are only superficial
things, floats on the surface of the water, and we share deeper connections than that. That is why she
fascinates me-why I spend my off-duty time sitting beside her.
      Today is difficult. The ward (病房) is full of patients and I am kept busy emptying bed-pans, filling
out forms, changing dressings. Finally, late in the afternoon, I get a few moments to make coffee, to take
it over to the orange plastic chair beside her bed. I am thankful to be off my feet, glad to be in her
company once again.
      "Hello, Jasmine," I say, as if greeting myself.
      She does not reply. Jasmine never replies. She is down too deep.
      She has been sea-damaged. I too am the daughter of a fisherman, so I choose my words like
fish-hooks, cast them into her ears, imagine them sinking down through cold, dark water. Down to
wherever she may be.
      "I have little time today," I tell her, touching her hair.
      With Jasmine, it is always difficult not to touch. She is that rare thing, a truly beautiful woman.
Because of this, people invent reasons to walk by. I catch them looking, drinking her in, feeding on her.
They are barracuda (梭鱼), all of them.
      Great beauty is something Jasmine and I do not share. I am glad of it.
      "Your father may be here soon," I say. "Last week he said he would come."
      Jasmine says nothing. Her left eyelid flickers, perhaps.
      It is two months since the incident on her father"s fishing boat, since she fell overboard, sank, became
entangled in the nets. It was some time before anyone noticed, then there was panic. Her father hauled
her back on board and sailed for home. When he finally arrived, he carried ashore what he thought was
his daughter"s body.
      "Jasmine," I whisper. I want her to take our baited (用作诱醒的) name. I want her to swallow it.
      Fortunately, there was a doctor in the village that morning, a young man visiting relatives. It was he
who brought this drowned woman back from the brink, he who told me her story. She opened her eyes,
he said, looked up at her father and spoke a single word-then sank again, this time into coma.
      Barracuda. That is what Jasmine said.
      When her father visits, he touches her hair, kisses her cheek, sits in the orange plastic chair at the
side of her bed and holds her hand. Like my own father, he has the big, brown, life-roughened hands
of a fisherman. He too smells of the sea, and pretends he is a good, simple man.
      Jasmine. We share so much, we are almost one.
      I remember early mornings, my hair touched to wake me, my father lifting me half-asleep from my
bed, carrying me, dropping me into his boat. His voice rough in my ear, his hands rough on my skin. I
never wanted to go, but I was just a child. He did as he wished.
      I remember salt water, hot sun, my mother shrinking on the shore. I remember the rocking of the
boat, the screams of the seagulls.
      "Jasmine, you have a life inside you. Can"t you hear it calling?"
      Nothing.
      The ward door bangs, and I see Jasmine"s father walking towards us, carrying flowers. He smiles
at me. Even in death, my own child had my father"s smile, and Jasmine"s will have this man"s. I know it.
He stops by her bed and touches her hair. Something stirs deep inside me. I watch Jasmine"s eyelids,
waiting for her to bite.
1. Why does the author show special sympathy for Jasmine?
A. They share the same name.
B. Jasmine looks very fascinating.
C. They have much in common.
D. Jasmine"s father is very pitiful.
2. From the passage we can learn that Jasmine"s father _________.   
A. comes to see his daughter every day 
B. is a good and simple man in the author"s eyes
C. took his daughter out to the sea against her will 
D. thought his daughter dead when back to the shore
3. What kind of situation is Jasmine in now? 
A. She is unconscious.
B. She is nearly dying.
C. She is completely deaf.
D. She is in a bad mood.
4. We can learn from the story that __________. 
A. ihe author enjoys her early life on the sea
B. Jasmine was pulled out of water without delay 
C. the author spends her duty time attending Jasmine
D. it was a young doctor who happened to save Jasmine

     Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students to begin
at an earlier age. Robby said that it had always been his mother"s dream to hear him play the piano, so
I took him on as a student.
     Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions. But he
just did not have any inborn ability.
     I only saw his mother from a distance. She always waved and smiled but never came in.  Then one
day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to
try something else.
     I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career. However, several weeks before
the recital (演奏会) of my students, Robby came,telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged
me to allow him to take part in it. I agreed, but I made him perform last in the program, so I could save
his poor performance through my "curtain closer".
     I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart"s. However, never had
I heard a piece of Mozart"s played so well by someone at his age.
     I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. "I"ve never heard you play like that, Robby! How
could you do it?"
     "Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this
morning. She was born deaf, so tonight was the first time she could hear me play. I wanted to make it
special. I knew I could."
1. Why might Robby have stopped coming to piano lessons suddenly?
A. He lost heart and believed that he would never make it.
B. His mother might have been seriously ill.
C. He thought that his teacher disliked him.
D. His mother died and he didn"t need to play any longer.
2. We can know from the passage that _________.
A. the writer thought students shouldn"t begin playing the piano too early
B. the writer thought that Robby had given up his piano lessons
C. only by practicing at home did Robby learn to play well
D. no one else could play the piece of Mozart"s as well as Robby
3. From the underlined sentence, we can infer that _________.
A. the writer looked down upon Robby and disliked him
B. the writer thought Robby was a bad advertisement for her teaching
C. with Robby in the recital, the other children couldn"t play well
D. the writer couldn"t teach so many students at a time
4. The writer made Robby perform last because _________.
A. the one who performs last always performs very well
B. Robby asked the writer to do so
C. she wanted to do something to save a poor performance
D. Robby thought his mother would come at last
