Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry. He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock. He tried to shave(刮脸)quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing(熨), so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter(表). He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper. In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt, and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the police were sure that he was not the man they wanted. When he finally arrived at the office at about four, his boss took a look at him and told him to go away and find another job. 小题1:Harry had__________________________.A.a lucky day | B.an unlucky day | C.a busy day | D.a good day | 小题2:Put the following sentences into correct order according to the passage. a.

Suppose you want to bring home a new cat and are looking for a way to really make it feel at home. Actually, all you need to do is buy some nice cat furniture and have it in place by the time you bring it into your home. The first thing that you should prepare is a cat house. Two to three feet off the ground is the best height. If you don’t have enough room for a cat house, a cat bed is also a nice choice. Once you have a nice spot where your cat can go to feel safe, then it’s time to get cat furniture that offers your pet a nice place to play. One nice choice is cat trees. Scratching posts (猫抓板) are another great idea if you are short in space, but still want to give your cat a nice place where it can claw (抓) at instead of your own furniture. If you’re looking for a great way to shop for cat furniture, simply turn on your computer and do some online shopping. In no time will you be able to skim all the offerings from many online stores. What’s great is that you can easily compare products and their prices, so you can get what you want at the best possible price. And, probably the nicest thing about online shopping is that your purchases may be shipped right to you, so you don’t have to waste time making a trip to the store. So, if you have brought a new cat into your home, make sure that home is an inviting one by buying some new cat furniture. Without it, your cat might feel lost and unsafe, which you definitely do not want to happen. 小题1:What should you do first before you bring a cat home?A.Find a proper place for the cat to sleep. | B.Buy a cat house and some cat furniture. | C.Learn how to take care of the cat. | D.Know how to buy cat furniture online. | 小题2: According to the author, the first concern for a cat house is __________.A.its height | B.its size | C.its price | D.safety | 小题3:What is the best choice for your cat to play with if you have little room?A.The cat bed. | B.Scratching posts. | C.Your own furniture. | D.Cat trees. | 小题4:What is the author’s advice on shopping for cat furniture?A.Compare products and their prices and get the cheapest ones. | B.Try to save time and money when you buy cat furniture. | C.Do some online shopping and get products with reasonable prices. | D.Buy furniture that can be shipped to you as quickly as possible. |

Everyone has got two personalities — the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in. If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident. If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. If you sleep on curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt. If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people. 小题1:According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality _______.A.only in a normal night | B.only when you go to sleep | C.only when you refuse to show yourself to the world | D.only when you change sleeping position | 小题2:Maybe you don’t want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why?A.He or she would rather be alone than communicate with you. | B.He or she is rarely ready to help you. | C.He or she prefers staying at home to going out. | D.He or she wouldn’t like to get help from you. | 小题3: It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because _______.A.he or she always shows sympathy for people | B.he or she is confident, but not stubborn | C.he or she has more strengths than weakness | D.he or she often considers annoying people | 小题4:The writer of the passage is probably a _______.A.novelist | B.reporter | C.psychologist | D.professor |
