honesty. His victim (受害者), who picked up the ￡25,000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the
cash. The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci, 58, was changing a tyre on an Italian
motorway. Another motorist, who stopped "to help", stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor
found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.
Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner. He claimed
the 60 million lire (里拉) prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience. Finally, he decided he could not
keep the money despite having been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying:"I"m trying to
find the man who robbed me. I have 60 million lire for him―a lottery win. Please meet me. Anonymity (匿名)
guaranteed." (保证)
Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the
cash. But there was one voice he recognized―and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber,
a 35-year-old unemployed father of two children, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not
believe what was happening. "Why didn"t you keep the money?" he asked. The professor replied:"I couldn"t,
because it"s not mine." Then he walked off, spurning the thief"s offer of a reward. | 1. The sentence "Then he began a battle with his conscience." in Paragraph 2 implies (暗示, 暗指) all the
following EXCEPT that _____. | | [ ] | A. he knew what to do as soon as he saw the lottery results
B. he hesitated (犹豫) about keeping the money for some time
C. he thought for a moment of avenging (报仇) himself on the robber
D. he came to realize that honesty is more important than money | | 2. The word "spurning" in the last sentence can be replaced by _____. | | [ ] | A. accepting
B. claiming (认领)
C. rejecting (拒绝)
D. canceling (删除) | | 3. If the story appears in a newspaper, the best title might be _____. | | [ ] | A. A Thief"s Lucky Day
B. A popular Maths Professor
C. A Magic Lottery
D. A Reward of Honesty | | 阅读理解。 | "It"s over! Thank goodness!"
School was over and I was tired. I sat at the front of the school bus.
Janie, the driver, always tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere (气氛) by talking. I try to listen
politely, but usually I"m too busy thinking about my day. On this day, however, her talk was worth listening
to.
"My father"s ill," she said to no one in particular (特别地). I could see worry in her eyes. I had never
seen her like this before. She always meets students with a smile.
With a sudden chance of interest, I asked, "What"s wrong with him?"
With her eyes wet and her voice unusual, she answered, "Heart trouble." Her eyes lowered as she
continued, "I"ve already lost my mum, so I don"t think I can stand losing him." I couldn"t answer. My heart
ached for her.
I sat on the seat thinking of the great pain my own mother was thrown into when her father died.
I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn"t want anyone to go through that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn"t only a bus driver, which was just her job. She had a whole world of
family and cares too.
I shouldn"t have been so selfish. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged
her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.
I shouldn"t have been so selfish and self-centered.
Understanding people is an art. | | 1. When the students get on the school bus, Janie usually _____. | | [ ] | A. listens to music
B. talks about her own worry
C. sits on her seat without words
D. meets them with a smile | | 2. After she learned Janie"s story, the writer thought of _____. | | [ ] | A. her father"s death
B. her mother"s pain
C. the ache of her own heart
D. the pain of Janie"s parents | | 3. The writer felt herself selfish because she had _____. | | [ ] | A. thought of Janie as nothing but a driver
B. made only a few friends in the school
C. hardly thought of herself
D. never listened to others | | 4. In this passage the writer tries to tell us that _____. | | [ ] | A. losing parents makes people sad and helpless
B. understanding the people around us takes time
C. we should learn to understand the people around us
D. it"s not right to judge the people around us by their clothes | | 完形填空。 | I was driving around downtown (市中心) one afternoon in the winter. I 1 a red light and stopped. As
I was 2 , I saw a young guy standing on my left. He was 3 in the face and holding a cardboard sign with
some 4 on it. When you"re in the heart of downtown, it"s pretty 5 to see homeless people asking for 6 .
Generally, I would pass them, but this time when I glanced over the sign, I 7 .
I can"t remember what the sign said exactly, but it was something like:" 8 money / food, have stomach
cancer, homeless, anything helps."
I didn"t know why, but for some 9 this particular sign struck me. The 10 had just turned green, and
there was a line of lunch rush hour traffic behind me. I went back and forth in my 11 a hundred times in that
next 12 about whether I should do something. "Should I help? 13 on? Should I do something?"
I didn"t. I did nothing.
The traffic moved 14 , and I went with it. About a block or two away, my heart had sunk simply for this
guy. I felt so 15 for him. So, I decided to go back and ask him 16 I could buy him lunch and hear his story.
It took me about five minutes to 17 and back on to the same street where I had seen him. It was just five
minutes-but he was 18 .
"Where did he go so fast?" I wondered. So, there was 19 left to do except drive on.

"Sorry dad, but I love to play it loud because it makes me happy!" Tim replied while driving. He had
bought the car a week before he got his driver"s license. The old car was all he could afford with the money
he"d earned since he was 14 mowing lawns (修草坪) in his neighborhood.
"Tim", his father asked again with that same worried look Tim was used to seeing, "What makes you
happy by listening to that screaming (尖声的) guitar and what"s the name of that trash?"
"The song is called "Happy"."
"All I hear is that noisy guitar."
"You never listen long enough to hear the words!"
They continued arguing.
As Tim neared the bend in the narrow road leading to their home, a new red sports car was out of
control. Tim madly tried to turn to the right but the red car hit the driver"s side of Tim"s car very quickly.
Tim"s father saw Tim"s face was covered in blood. The driver of the red sports car ran near. "Sir, I"m
sorry! Here"s my phone!" the young man shouted with a strong smell of beer on his breath.
Tim was taken to the hospital. As Tim"s mother arrived, she and her husband cried with fear
uncontrollably. Then the doctor asked them to come to a private room. "Your son asked that if he died, I"d
promise to tell his dad something. Sir, he asked me to tell you to please listen long enough to hear the words."
Two weeks after Tim"s burial (葬礼), his father opened the door of the car that he simply could not bear
to sell. He turned Tim"s favorite song up loudly and listened until he heard the words."I"m so happy; I"m so
grateful."
He knew what Tim had been trying to tell him for so many years. Tearfully he read the words:"A happy
heart makes the face cheerful, but sadness destroys the spirit." | | 1. How did Tim"s father think of Tim"s favorite music before the accident? | [ ] | A. It was exciting.
B. It was just like rubbish.
C. It was a kind of soft music.
D. It was popular with the young. | | 2. What might be the cause of the accident? | [ ] | A. Tim"s father didn"t pay attention while listening to music.
B. Tim had just learned driving one week before.
C. The road was too narrow for the two cars.
D. The driver of the red sports car drank too much beer. | | 3. What did Tim expect his father to do before he died? | [ ] | A. To listen to the words of that song.
B. To bury him with his favorite CD.
C. To learn to sing his favorite song.
D. To sell his old car later. | | 4. What would be the best title for the passage? | [ ] | A. Be happy
B. Tell my dad to hear the words
C. "Happy": Tim"s favorite song
D. Father and son |
