I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth
grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered
something, but I didn"t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I
had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra
one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other
students were dismissed (解散). As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to
grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your
own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something
dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the
things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had
chosen to talk to me about all those things.
Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated in the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the
girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl"s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen,
but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn"t talked of anything about the pen the day
she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her
use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated in the test.
B. she had lost her own on her way to school
C. there was something wrong with her pen
D. her own had been taken away by someone
B. to stop whispering
C. to leave the room immediately
D. to stay behind after the exam
B. sense of duty
C. seriousness
D. all of the above
B. when the teacher started talking about honesty
C. only some time later
D. when he was walking out of the room

aeroplane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race
to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colourful.
One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well
known as a pilot because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said,
"He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in an accident!"
But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aeroplane design.
The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his
doctors told him he had only a year to live. "Oh, well," he said, "if I" m going to die soon, I think I shall
have a dangerous and interesting life now." Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten
kilometres from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink
under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly
lighting a cigarette. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud.
He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer"s field. When he did so, a customs (海关) officer
rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not. "Have you anything
to declare (报关)?" The officer demanded.
B. he was quite rich
C. he had many good ideas about aeroplane design
D. he had had a few accidents
B. He wanted to be the first one to cross the Channel.

C. His plane had some trouble.

Doctor Goldsmith to go to see her husband, 6 was very ill and could not eat. Goldsmith found that the
family was in great need of 7 . The man 8 work for a long time, but he was not ill. He was hungry because
there was no food in the house.
" 9 at my room this evening," said Goldsmith to the woman, "and I"ll give you some medicine for your
husband."

"Here is the medicine," he said, "Take it and it will 11 your husband a great deal of good. But don"t open
the box 12 you get home. You will find the directions inside the box." When the woman reached her home,
she sat down by her husband"s side, and they opened the box. It was 13 pieces of money. And on the top
14 the directions: "TO BE TAKEN WHEN NECESSARY."
15 this way Goldsmith had given them all the money that he had.

| Yesterday the police were joined by more than 20 volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure (冒险) tour of Cape York Peninsula. This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people. The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, "The travellers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us." The three travellers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn"t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road. A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the"Be Careful about crocodiles" sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the photo left behind? Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police said that the travellers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the point (地点) where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown. | ||||||||||||||||||

| "Father, I don"t like to go to school," said Harry Williams one morning. "I wish you 1 let me stay at home. Charles Parker"s father doesn"t make him go to school." Mr. Williams took his little boy 2 the hand, and said kindly to him, "Come, my son. I want to 3 you something in the garden." Harry walked into the garden with his father, who led him along 4 they came to a bed in which peas (豌 豆) were growing. Not a weed (杂草) was to be 5 about their roots. "See how beautifully these peas are 6 , my son," said Mr. Williams. "How clean and healthy the vines(藤) look. We shall have a good 7 . Now let me show you the vines in Mr. Parker"s garden." Mr. Williams then 8 Harry to look at Mr. Parker"s pea vines. After a few moments, Mr. Williams asked, "Well, my son, what do you 9 Mr. Parker"s pea vines?" "Oh, Father!" replied the little boy. "I never saw such 10 looking peas in my life! The weeds are nearly as 11 as the peas themselves. There won"t be half a crop!" " 12 are they so much worse than ours, Harry?" "Because they have been left to grow as they 13 . I suppose Mr. Parker just planted them, and never took any care of them 14 ." "Yes. A garden will soon be overrun with weeds 15 it is not taken good care of," Mr. Williams 16 , "and so it is with the human garden. Children"s minds are like garden beds. They must be 17 cared for. I send you to school in order that the garden of your 18 may have good seeds and 19 plentifully. Now which would you 20 , to stay at home or go to school?" "I would rather go to school," said Harry. | ||||||||||||||||||
