If there were any justice（公正）in this world, early-airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing. And late-airport people would be punished. But early-airport people get ulcers（溃疡）, heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone. Late-airport people almost don’t realize they are flying.
A guy of that kind once said, “Don’t hurry. If you miss your flight, it’s because God doesn’t want you to go.” This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.
Early-airport people suffer another “name”. They are called exactly what they are -wimps（窝囊废）. I know. I was an early-airport person for years. “My baggage will get on the plane first,” I told myself. Indeed it would, which made it the last baggage they took off the plane after landing.
Another strange thing: No matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat. I thought it was a trick. I thought there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said: “Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today? If he is , give me his seat.”
After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead, I have learned another fact about early-airport people and late –airport people:
They always marry each other.

举一反三
I worked for a short time as a cashier（出纳员）at a restaurant a few months ago. 71 One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guess I should have checked it to find out who was the owner, but I was busy at the time. Also, I imagined that if the wallet contained anything valuable, the owner would be back.
An hour later a man came up to the counter（柜台）. 72 I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his sincere thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “ No”, he opened it right away and showed that it contained nearly $800 in cash (现金). 73
“A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
74 I began wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if there had been no way to find the owner and no one had returned to claim（认领）it, I might have kept it. But it also came into my mind that I had in fact saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. 75 The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything money could buy.
| A．He looked quite worried and asked if anyone had found a wallet. |
| B．Later I thought about it again. |
| C．To my surprise, he took out a twenty–dollar bill and handed it to me. |
| D．So I didn’t return the wallet until the owner returned. |
F. I also helped clear off the tables when it was especially busy.
G. For quite a long time I kept happy whenever I thought about it.
I had a best friend named Seema, whose family was even poorer than ours. We played and studied together, and spent the best days of our childhood laughing at the silly stories we made up. I was excited to show her my three beautiful new dresses. She loved them all and was happy for me, but tearfully explained to me that her father could only afford to buy her clothes for her birthday. I felt sorry, and then did something that surprised even myself: I asked her to pick out one of my dresses for herself. To my disappointment, she picked up my favorite—the yellow one. Please remember, I was only seven years. My heart almost popped out (跳出) of my chest. But as she held it against her body, and I saw how brightly she smiled, I stopped feeling any hurt. I told her it looked lovely on her.
I’ll always remember Seema’s smile, and how at that moment nothing mattered more. When you value your friendships, nothing else matters! We’re still best friends today.
小题1:Why did the new clothes mean the universe to the author?
| A．She loved dressing up more than anything else. |
| B．She thought they would make her more beautiful. |
| C．Her family was poor, and new clothes were very rare. |
| D．Her mother only bought her new clothes for her birthday. |
| A．show her pity for Seema’s family | B．show off her family’s wealth |
| C．make Seema become her best friend | D．exchange it with Seema’s dress |
| A．she was not generous | B．she didn’t expert to lose her favorite dress |
| C．Seema chose her favorite dress on purpose | D．Seema was careless about her feelings |
| A．Getting a best friend means losing other things. | B．Being generous is not easy. |
| C．Children like sharing their favorite things. | D．Friendship is precious (珍贵的). |
Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and records of tapes; some use radio or television programs; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken.
However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’s work for him.
小题1:According to some advertisements, you ______ .
| A．have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks. |
| B．needn’t pay you money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks |
| C．must pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks |
| D．will be paid much money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks |
| A．read the literature of the country | B．read books and reports |
| C．do their work better | D．go to foreign countries |
| A．only for scientists and doctors | B．only for the students at school |
| C．for those people at home | D．for most people |
The man leaned on his wife who walked in front of him. He not only used her for support but it was obvious that he was blind. The two of them worked as one---each needing the other to function in this fast-changing world.
That little example of true strength changed my whole personal perception(理解) of life that day. Suddenly I wasn’t so mad about having to work a few extra hours on Saturdays. I had my strength, and I was still relatively young.
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity and strength stayed with me the entire week. My life wasn’t so bad after all. I had my health and a good job. I had a wonderful, supportive wife. I started to think---not only was I lucky to have it all, but so was that wonderful old couple, who, despite the trials and sufferings of a long life, still had the love and support of each other to carry them through this world.
There are so many people out there just like that couple. My wife and I sometimes picture ourselves in our old age, walking arm-in-arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a warm feeling of comfort. Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasn’t for our elders. We should all have a little extra time and patience when it comes to helping our elder friends.
小题1:When the author was about to drive away, the couple __________________.
| A．got in his way | B．hit his car | C． entered the store | D．asked him for help |
| A．drive at a high speed | B．seldom think of his wife |
| C．be impolite to the blind | D．spend less time complaining |
| A．They lived a happier life than he. |
| B．They didn’t live a life without hardships. |
| C．They were admirable for their lasting love. |
| D．They won respect by walking together. |
| A．the author hated working on Saturdays |
| B．the author was happy with his wife |
| C．old couples were advised to walk in the sunset |
| D．many people like that couple are blind |

The parents were 43 her to hurry and get in the car, I looked up and saw the little girl was 44 holding the door open, 45 for me.
I hurried as much as I could and 46 her. She was smiling from ear to ear. That afternoon I saw a white toy bear, I 47 the little girl and said to myself, “I 48 she would like that” so I bought it. I wrote a note 49 how much her act of kindness had touched a soft spot in an old man’s 50 .
