ago, in a Florida library he took a book off the shelf and took great interest in the notes in the
margin(页边空白). The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind.
In front of the book, he discovered the previous owner"s name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time
and effort he located her address. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to
correspond.
During the following years the two grew to know each other through the mail. John requested
a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn"t matter what she looked
like. Later they scheduled their first meeting-7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York.
"You"ll recognize me, " she wrote, "by the red rose I"ll be wearing on my lapel." So at 7:00 he
was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose.
A girl in a green suit was coming toward him, her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue.
Almost uncontrollably he made one step closer to her, and just at this moment he saw Hollis
Maynell-a woman well past 40. The girl was walking quickly away. He felt as though he split(裂开)
in two, so keen was his desire to follow the girl, and yet so deep was his longing for the woman
whose spirit had truly accompanied him and upheld his own.
He did not hesitate. He squared his shoulders and said to the woman, "I"m John, and you must
be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"
The woman smiled, "I don"t know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady
in the green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out
to dinner, I should tell you that she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street. She said
it was some kind of test!"

C. John had know the secret and prepared in advance
D. John got Miss Maynell"s address from the book.
B. Miss Maynell was brighter than John
C. you must make sure that he is honest before you make a friend
D. only the true love can stand the test
B. Miss Maynell"s name greatly aroused John"s interest.

D. Possibly the book was once Miss Maynell"s but now it was owned by the library.
B. was an acquaintance (熟人) of Miss Maynell
C. showed great admiration for the clever girl
D. was moved deeply by the true love between the two youngsters.

house. I had to park my car in a nearby parking lot because they didn"t have a place for parking.
The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of 1 on the ground, so not many people
dared to go out that evening! When I left their house and 2 to my car around 11pm, I noticed
that my car was the only one 3 .
Surrounded by silence, I rushed into the car nervously. When I finally tried to 4 away, my
wheels began to spin(打滑). I realized I was stuck! I wondered what I should do. 5 , in my
rear-view mirror(后视镜), I saw four teenage boys 6 my car. They were walking side by side
in a line and behaved a bit like 7 - at least I thought that was what they looked like. My
car was in a very 8 area and I was so frightened when I saw them. I was certain they were
coming to my car to 9 me.
Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window 10 and said, "Excuse
me, Madam, would you like some 11 ? You seem to have a problem with the car." Still a little
afraid, I said, "I am stuck." And the young man said, "It"s okay. Stay in your car and we"ll 12
you out of the snow." And they did! When they finally got my car out of the snow, they 13 and
waved good-bye to me. I rolled down my window and thanked them, 14 to have judged them
so poorly.
People like to judge the person they come across, and they are in turn judged by others. It"s
natural that we judge others, but when we do this, we shouldn"t 15 the old saying, "Don"t judge
a book by its cover."

An old woman in ragged clothes, 2 was living on collecting used cans, jars and tins, moved slowly towards me, with a bag on the back! 3 (walk) nearer, she looked up at me and then fixed her eyes on my can. At that time, I hadn"t finished my cola, so I gave 4 several coins instead. She stared at me for a few seconds 5 handed back the money. Quite confused, I asked: "Why not? Isn"t that 6 you want?" "I am not a beggar," she said 7 (serious), word by word. Instantly, I felt so sorry. I had intended 8 (help) her, completely misunderstanding her. Thus I hurt her. What I could do at that moment was only to drink up the cola and handed her 9 emptied can. This time, she gave me a smile with 10 (satisfy) and gratitude in her eyes.
