Several years ago, we moved into the apartment where we live now. When my friends helped me move in, the downstairs neighbors began to 36 about the noise. I could do 37 about it. After all, noises are unavoidable(不可避免的).How can anyone move in 38 .
Still 39 ,the complaints continued on a daily basis—well after the first day. We walked “too loudly”down the stairs, we laughed too often, we opened and closed the door too many times…They had many 40 to complain.
Nobody can stand the endless complaints and quarrels. I soon learned that they had 41 the last few families who lived above them by the same way. So I had the information I needed and I tried to 42 every situation carefully.
I tried to walk in 43 to avoid any possible noises. Whenever they called 44 came to the door with a complaint, no matter how unreasonable, I simply listened. From their confused expressions, I could imagine that they had never expected to get a 45 attitude from me.
Of course, it was hard to keep calm but my sister and I 46 . I told my sister that we were going to be pleasant and 47 them to change their attitude to neighbors. I explained to her that they probably felt 48 in their lives because they are common people. 49 , they were always looking for a 50 to show their power so that nobody could look down upon them. I continued smiling and greeting them as I saw them, much to their 51 .On more than one occasion(不止一次), I ended up 52 them. They thanked me before they left.
Unexpectedly, the next time I saw them, they all smiled and 53 friendly. We had a short but pleasant 54 . Ever since then, they’ve been very pleasant neighbors, and we’ve become good 55 .

When John Weston awoke that morning, he remembered that his mother was going into hospital. He hadn’t worked out quite what was wrong with her. He knew, though that she hadn’t been well for some time now, and it had become almost familiar to him to see her eyes narrowed in a sudden attack of pain, and her hand pressing against her heart. Their own doctor, who she had finally gone to for advice, had sent her to an expert who knew all about these things. He had told her that just as soon as there was a bed for her, she would have to come into his hospital where he could look after her himself.
During the weeks since then the pains had come even more frequently, and the narrowed eyes became an almost permanent part of her expression. Always rather sharp, she began losing her temper over little things so that John’s father kept his thoughts to himself more and more. John, as ready as possible to make allowances, tried to think what it would be like to have toothache all the time and how bad-tempered that would make you.
So his mother would go into hospital for a few days. He was going to stay with his Aunt Daisy till she came back, and his father would stay on at home by himself. John’s cousin, Mona, was to come in and make the bed and wash the pots and dust round now and again. That was the arrangement, and John didn’t care much for it. Apart from missing his mother(and he was glad she was going away because they would make her better), he wasn’t very fond of his Aunt Daisy because she was even more bad-tempered than his mother.
小题1:Mrs Weston went to see her doctor_________.| A．as soon as she realized that something was wrong | | B．only after her husband advised her to | | C．a long time after the trouble began | | D．when John asked what was wrong with her |
小题2:what did Mrs Weston’s own doctor decide to do?| A．he decided to send her to hospital | | B．he decided to get an expert to examine her | | C．He decided to treat her himself | | D．He advised her to wait for a few weeks. |
小题3:how did John react to his mother’s bad temper?| A．he tried to imagine himself in her place. | | B．He tried not to notice it. | | C．He pretended that he had toothache. | | D．He behaved himself as well as possible. |
小题4:John regarded ______as most bad-tempered.| A．his father | B．his mother | C．his cousin Mona | D．his aunt Daisy |

One day, Mary asked her mother, “Mum, what do people mean by saying they have a skeleton(骨架）in the closet(衣橱)?” Her mother paused thoughtfully and said, “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his family’s closet. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick my family?” Mary’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now.” Mary cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was quiet. Mary’s parents were quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Mary’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Mary’s mother sank into a faint(晕倒), waking only when Mary put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Mary. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Mary looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re crazy,” she thought.
小题1:According to Mary’s mother, “a skeleton in a closet” means _______.| A．a family honor | B．a family wealth | | C．a family story | D．a family secret |
小题2:What can we learn about some Australians’ ancestors from Paragraph 2?| A．They were brought to Australia as prisoners. | | B．They were the earliest people living in Australia. | | C．They were involved in some crimes in Australia. | | D．They were not regarded as criminals in their days. |
小题3:Mary’s mother fell down into a faint because she was_________.| A．knocked | B．terrified | C．injured | D．surprised |
小题4:Why did Mary bring a skeleton home?| A．She was curious about it. | B．She planned to keep it for fun. | | C．She needed it for her school task. | D．She intended to scare her parents. |
小题5:Mary’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because________.| A．They were mentally ill. | | B．They were over happy. | | C．They understood what had really happened. | | D．They both thought they had won the quarrel. |
