阅读理解。        Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday
when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route-through the boot
(行李箱).
       Mr. Johnson"s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and
hitting a bank. "Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly," Mr. Johnson said. "I couldn"t force the
doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I
knew water would come flooding in."
       Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists
by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. Later he
said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to
unscrew the back seat to get into the boot.
       It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the
boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. "It
was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in.
I forced the lid down into the mud and jumped out of the ditch."
       His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was
looked after by the farmer"s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, "That thirty minutes seemed
like hours." Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two
feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch. 1. What is the best title for this newspaper article? [     ]
A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet Salesman
B. Car Boot Can Serve As The Best Escape Route
C. Driver Escapes Through Car Boot
D. The Driver Survived A Terrible Car Accident 2. Which of the following objects is the most important to Mr. Johnson? [     ]
A. The hammer.
B. The coin.
C.The screw.
D. The horn. 3. Which statement is true according to the passage? [     ]
A. Mr. Johnson"s car stood on its boot as it fell down.
B. Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.
C. Mr. Johnson"s car accident was partly due to the slippery road.
D. Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat. 4. "Finally it gave" (Paragraph 4) means that ______. [     ]
A. Luckily the door was torn away in the end
B. At last the hammer went broken
C. The lock came open after all his efforts
D. The chance was lost at the last minute 5. It may be inferred from the passage that ______. [     ]
A. the ditch was along a quiet country road
B. the accident happened on a clear warm day
C. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch
D. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended

      Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failures in career made him a bad-tempered and
disappointed man, often complaining that he had been cheated by others. One day he told his wife he was so
disappointed with the city that he had to leave.
       So his family moved to another city. It was the evening of a weekend. When Terry and his wife were
busily engaged in tidying up their new home, the lights suddenly went out and they were forced to stop work.
Terry regretted to have forgotten to bring along candles and had to wait helplessly in a bad mood. Just then he
heard light, hesitand (犹豫的) knocks on his door that were clearly heard in the quiet night.
       "Who"s it?" he wondered. Terry didn"t know anybody in the new city, and this was the moment he
especially hated to be disturbed. He went to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl,
asking in a shy voice, "Sir, do you have candles? I"m your neighbor." "NO," answered Terry rudely. He shut
the door. "What a nuisance!" he grumbled (嘟囔) over it with his wife. "No sooner had we settled down than
the neighbor came to borrow things. What"ll be the next? How bothering!"
       He was angry about it when the door was knocked at again. He opened it and found the same little girl
outside. But this time she was holding two candles. She said, "My grandma told me the new neighbor
downstairs might need candles. She sent me here to give you these." Terry was struck by what he saw. When
he became fully aware, he said, "Thank you and your grandma. God bless you!"
       At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his failure in life. It was his coldness and harshness
(刻薄) with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was actually nobody else but himself, for
his eyes had been blurred (使模糊) by his cold mind.

1. Terry decided to move to another city because ______.

[ ]

A. he wanted to earn more money there
B. he found it more challenging to live in a new place
C. he didn"t like the place where he lived
D. he thought he should change his job

2. Terry treated the little girl rudely because he thought ______.

[ ]

A. the neighbor would often borrow things from him later
B. he had no friends in the new city
C. she was too young to play with candles
D. he was cheated at that time

3. It can be concluded that Terry realized that he used to be ______.

[ ]

A. cold and harsh
B. lazy and negative
C. friendly and kind
D. crazy and rude

4. What would be the best title for this passage?

[ ]

A. Help others to help yourself
B. Light the candle in your heart
C. Terry"s good neighbor
D. God bless you

We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn"t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched, mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift (电梯) and took out a wet mop (拖把). She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors." "Yes. I"m glad they"ve finally decided to clean them," the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said,"But aren"t you working late?" Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book. After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum nodded politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you." Outside, Mum told me, "Dagma is fine. No fever." "You see her, Mum?" "Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It"s a fine hospital. But the floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush."

A strange woman comes to my door one day in early March. In this area we often have people selling things door-to-door, but she doesn"t look like a professional saleswoman. She just smiles and gives a card to me:"Amy Turner." I hold the card and look at her, waiting for an explanation. "I"ll paint any animal in your own home," Amy Turner says. "Wouldn"t you like a picture of your loved one? I"ve had experience of dogs, cats, parrots, prize bulls…" "I don"t have any animals," I say as we look past each other. She must be wishing some little cat or dog would come down the hall. It is the first chance I"ve had to breathe the air outside. In this spring morning when you wake up, you will find winter is gone. "Why are you still in your dressing gown?" She asks. "It"s nearly lunchtime. Are you ill?" "I"m fine," I lie. I"m not going to tell a stranger I"ve just been sick in the toilet (厕所) upstairs. I was still sticking my fingers down my throat if the doorbell hadn"t rung. But now I"m not sure what to do next. She is still standing there. She doesn"t seem to be leaving. "I"m hungry," she says and I smile politely, nodding my head before saying goodbye. "No," she puts her foot in the door. "I"m really hungry. I"ve had nothing to eat for two days and no one has any animal for me to paint. I need some food or I"ll fall down, right here on your doorstep." I stand to one side and let her in.
