试题分析：这篇短文中作者主要这是一篇推理性文章，要求根据所给出提示，猜出各自的职业。
小题1:细节理解题。由于警察每天除看到 Smith 外，还看到 Miller，所以 Miller 不是警察。既然他不是警察，而且Smith 是木匠，Carter 是 farmer，故选C。
小题2:细节理解题。根据短文Miller always buys eggs from the farmer（Miller经常从农民那儿买蛋）可知Miller不是农民，那么Miller只可能是doctor；故选A。
小题3:细节理解题。由The doctor"s sister is Smith"s wife.（医生的姐姐是Smith的妻子=医生不是Smith）The farmer isn"t married.（农民没有结婚=农民不是Smith，因为Smith有妻子）The policeman sees Smith every day.（警察天天看到Smith=警察不是Smith）此三句话可以确定carpenter是Smith；故选B。
小题4:细节理解题。根据The policeman sees Smith every day because they are neighbors（邻居）.因为Cook肯定不是医生（他带儿子去看医生，自己当然不是医生啦），不是carpenter，更不会是农民（因为农民没结婚，而Cook有儿子），所以Cook是警察，由此可见史密斯的邻居是Cook；故选D。
小题5:细节理解题。因为Cook肯定不是医生（他带儿子去看医生，自己当然不是医生啦），不是carpenter，更不会是农民（因为农民没结婚，而Cook有儿子），所以Cook是警察；故选A。 |

Going to a new school can be difficult, but this passage will help you in the beginning. Here is something to help you to fit in(融入).
First, take a day to enjoy your school. You won’t fit in at school if you don’t know the school. Ask for a school map. Try to get to know every corner of your new school. A good school handhook can be of great help. But to make it easy, ask the people near you where something is—tell people that you are new when you need help.
Be nice to everyone. Be nice to everyone, the young or the old, because they might just be your next teacher or friend.
Get to know your teachers and pay attention in class. Teachers always pay attention to(关注) new students, Talk to them and find out more about them. Never test their limits(底线)—don’t go too far, or you may end up getting into trouhle（麻烦）
You need to make friends. Talk to different people. Be yourself and don’t lie. This is YOUR school now, take a chance(机会) on being who you weren’t at your old school. Join a few clubs or sports teams and make more friends in this way.
Be yourself and be polite. Don’t worry too much about what people think of you. Be true, be yourself, and be nice to everyone, no matter how mean(unfriendly) they may seem at first. It’s often the “girl/boy that I did’t like at my new school” that ends up being my friend after a little while. But then again, don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself if it’s very clear that you should.
Work hard to fit in while still being yourself. The first few weeks are always hard, but you’ll soon get used to it.

When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, to send greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting.
My small hands could get the mail without using a key! I could never to see how much I was getting. Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.
After my family moved back to Singapore, I going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we up to enjoy a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a small caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China sign.
We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe we were at the highest point of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard. Three weeks later, I arrived home and my mailbox. Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.
That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office. I had the post office all these years. Today I send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.

I was sleeping soundly last night when I was awakened by someone’s groans（***）.I listened , and heard it was from Sam，a student from Africa. I really wanted to go on sleeping, as I had insomnia（失眠）and had just fallen asleep, but I couldn’t because Sam groaned louder and louder，showing he was seriously ill.
