honestly why I wanted the job-I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heart
attack (心脏病). A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma (精神创伤) and pain
of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her high school. I could
still hardly talk about the loss of my wife. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn"t
probe (彻底调查) any further. He admitted (接受) my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another
subject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another person. Then he
asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also
been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same
pain as I had a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He
offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help or just want someone
to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that
he was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped
our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview into a caring
support for another person in need.
B. he had to support his family in Boston
C. his wife had recently died of a heart attack
D. his daughter needed money for schooling

track. The next big railroad was a double track that ran between Manchester and Liverpool. The opening
day was a success except for Mr Huskisson, that is.
Eight trains took part in the opening ceremony. There were 600 people in 29 coaches. After traveling for
17 miles, the trains had to stop for water. Mr Huskisson got out of his train to talk to a friend on one of the
other trains. He was half-way across the track when he suddenly saw a locomotive (车头) racing toward
him. It was going at a fantastic speed-23 miles per hour. Mr Huskisson panicked (惊慌) and froze with fear.
He was run over by the train, and died the same evening.

find a bank prepared to let him have a check card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is
18.
The 16-year-old works for a small firm (分公司) in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people
of his age is finding a job. David"s firm puts two new games on the home market each month.
But David"s biggest headache is what to do with his money. In spite of his salary, made by inventing new
programs within quite a short period of time, with bonus payments and profitsharing, (奖金和分红) he cannot
drive a car, get some money from a bank to buy a house, or get credit cards (信用卡).
He lives with his parents in their house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His firm has to pay
£ 150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive.
David got his job with the firm a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a
computer shop."I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs."
he said.
"I suppose £ 35000 sounds a lot but actually that"s not good enough I hope it will come to more than
that this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week. But
most of his spare time is spent working.
"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But I had been studying it in
books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying
on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, any-way."
David added,"I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility. You
never know when the market might disappear."
enough to pass exams. Others didn"t do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time drinking
in the Students" Union than working in the library.
Once, at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in chemistry. The test had a hundred
questions. Beside each question we had to write "True" or "False". While I was studying in my room the night
before the test, Fred was watching television. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night
he looked perfectly calm. Then he told me of his plan.
"It"s very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test. I"ll take a
coin into the examination room. I haven"t studied a chemistry book for months, so I"ll just toss the coin. (throw
the coin into the air.) That way, I"m sure I"ll get half the questions right."
The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour he
marked down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.
The next day, he saw the chemistry professor at the gate.
"Oh good,"he said,"Have you got the results of the test?"
The professor looked at him and smiled.
"Ah, it"s you, Baines. Just a minute."
Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and
looked at it.
"I"m terribly sorry, Baines," he said, "You failed!"
B: passed
C: did just enough to pass
D: failed in
Missouri 2 Christmas when my car almost ran out of gas. I stopped at 3 gas station about 50
