阅读理解。    It was June 15, and in two days I would be turning thirty. I was insecure about
entering a new decade of my life and feared that my best years were now behind me.
    My daily routine included going to the gym for a workout before going to work. Every
morning I would see my friend Nicholas at the gym. He was seventy-nine years old and in
terrific shape. As I greeted Nicholas on this particular day, he noticed I wasn"t full
of my usual vitality and asked if there was anything wrong. I told him I was feeling
anxious about turning thirty. I wondered how I would look back on my life once I reached
Nicholas"s age, so I asked him, "What was the best time of your life?"
    Without hesitation, Nicholas replied, Well, Joe, this is my philosophical answer to
your philosophical question:
    "When I was a child in Austria and everything was taken care of for me and I was
nurtured by my parents, that was the best time of my life."
    "When I was going to school and learning the things I know today, that was the best
time of my life."
    "When I got my first job and had responsibilities and got paid for my efforts, which
was the best time of my life."
    "When I met my wife and fell in love, which was the best time of my life."
    "The Second World War came, and my wife and I had to flee Austria to save our lives.
When we were together and safe on a ship bound for North America, which was the best time
of my life."
    "When we came to Canada and started a family, which was the best time of my life."
    "When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that was the best time of
my life."
    "And now, Joe, I am seventy-nine years old. I have my health, I feel good and I am
in love with my wife just as I was when we first met. This is the best time of my life." 1. When Joe"s 30th birthday is drawing near, he feels _____. [     ]

B. frightened
C. worried
D. eager 2. Joe usually goes to the gym to _____. [     ]
A. take exercise

阅读理解。
    Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn"t think
there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique
(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.
I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man
wouldn"t even look at my chair.
    The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and
the fourth-so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
    I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and
said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" "Twenty pounds," I said. "OK,"
he said. "I"ll give you twenty pounds." "It"s got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes,
I saw that. It"s nothing."
    Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. "What will you
do with it?" I asked. "Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I"ll buy
it," I said. "What do you mean? You"ve just sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but I"ve
changed my mind. I am sorry. I"ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it." "You must be
crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want
me to repair your chair." "You"re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had
walked in and said, "Would you mend this chair for me?"" "I wouldn"t have agreed to do
it," he said. "We don"t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I"ll
mend this for you. Shall we say for a fiver?" He was a very nice man and was greatly
amused by the whole thing.
1. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _____.
[     ]
A. was rather impolite
B. was warmly received
C. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair
D. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
2. The expression "the penny dropped" in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper _____.
[     ]
A. changed his mind
B. accepted the offer
C. saw the writer"s purpose
D. decided to help the writer
3. How much did the writer pay?
[     ]
A. £ 5.
B. £ 7.
C. £ 20.
D. £ 27.
4. From the text, we can learn that the writer was _____.
[     ]
A. honest
B. careful
C. smart
D. funny
