| 阅读理解。 | Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far away. As a result,
no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn"t talk with anyone
about my problems.
Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual.
At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn"t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back.
He looked at me, with a smile.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. That
smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to
everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn"t remember smiling at me!
It doesn"t matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If
you think it lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at world and it will smile back. | | 1. When did the writer get the gift? | A. When she was 16 years old.

replied, "The absolute (绝对的) weight 1 matter. It all 2 how long you try to hold it."
"If I hold it for a minute, that"s not a problem. If I hold it for 3 , I"ll have an ache in my right arm. If I
hold it for a day, you"ll have to 4 an ambulance for me. In each case, it"s the 5 weight, but the longer I
hold it, the 6 it becomes."

At the end of the train, 71 mailmen sat sorting the mail. Inside the second car, there were only five mailmen
and 128 bags full of five-pound notes. This train had run more than 100 years without being robbed. At three
minutes past three, Mills and his helper, David Whit by, saw a yellow warning light. They slowed the train,
and then stopped. Whit by went to the telephone beside the track. It was out of order. Then he saw a man
moving between the second and the third car. Before Whit by could give a warning, he was knocked down
by two men. Mills" cars with all the mailmen had been disconnected by the robbers. At the bridge, the bags
of money were unloaded from the train and thrown into waiting trucks. One of the robbers who obviously

tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I
knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?" "You bet," I cried quickly catching the joke.
Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if
not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He
always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class; our house was
medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though
once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed (尴尬的) driving
it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.
This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding (寄宿制的) school idea was
to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone
else, if it did not conflict (冲突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself.
He seemed to have talked to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had
a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought
he might just as well phone them. I remembered my eyes stinging (刺痛) and my hands shaking with the
puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.
"Oh, he doesn"t want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn"t go on like this." "It"s up to him," said
my father."He can make up his own mind." | | 1. The writer"s house was ________. | A. the best in the local area
