     Mr. Clinton and his 13-year-old son Tony are basketball fans. Last October 10th was Tony"s
birthday, so Mr. Clinton decided to drive him to New York, for the first game of the World Series.
They had no ticket but hoped to buy a pair from scalpers.
     It was a two hours" ride. After they arrived, they walked in the street for two hours, carrying a sign
(牌子) that read, " We need two tickets." There were many scalpers around, but the cheapest ticket
was $200. They were about to leave when suddenly a man stopped them. He took out two tickets and
handed them to Mr. Clinton.
    "How much do you want?"
    "Just a present," said the man. "Enjoy the game."
    Mr. Clinton wouldn"t accept, so the man explained, "I"m Jackson. Hans is my boss. He and his wife
haven"t missed a World Series in 18 years. But he is ill and can"t watch the game this time. So he told me
to give the two tickets to people who I thought would actually enjoy the game. A lot of people looked
as if they might just take the tickets and sell them. Then I saw you and I followed you for a while. You
seemed very disappointed. You made me think of my dad and me when I was a child. I dreamed of
going to a World Series game with my father. But my dream never came true."
    How do you suppose this made Mr. Clinton and his son feel? Here is what Mr. Clinton said: "This is
the most wonderful thing that ever happened to us. My boy and I must have turned to each other over 30
times and said, "I can"t believe this." We still never forget Jackson and Hans."1. The underlined word scalpers in the first paragraph means ______.A. people who buy tickets at a reasonable price
B. people who sell tickets at a reasonable price
C. people who buy tickets at a high price
D. people who sell tickets at a high price
答案
D

     The sun was shining as Kevin walked to the old bench(长凳) where he met Mike every afternoon after school. They were good friends and loved to play football. They didn"t have enough money to buy a real football, but Mike had made a ball out of old socks covered with a piece of plastic. It wasn"t beautiful, but
it worked well. The two friends didn"t stop kicking and running until very late.
     The next afternoon, Mike and Kevin met again at the old bench. Soon the home-made ball was
spinning(旋转) across the grass as the boys laughed and shouted happily. The ball was stopped by a
boy wearing a nice pair of sneakers(运动鞋). Kevin was upset when he saw it was Steven.
     The next morning, Kevin"s mother gave him an envelope(信封). "Your uncle sent you a birthday
present," she smiled. Kevin"s eyes grew big when he saw the $100 bill. Later that day, a pair of new
sneaker lay next to his chair, and in the corner, a real football.
     The next afternoon, Steven invited Kevin to play football on the field next to the library. Steven did
not want Mike to join them only because Mike"s sneakers were dirty and he was not good at football.
When the game was over, Kevin and Steven walked past the old bench where Mike was sitting. Steven
picked up a stone and threw it at him. Kevin, holding his new football in his hands, walked on and did not
look back.
     One afternoon, as Kevin walked past the old bench, he saw something lying under it. He looked
closer and saw it was the home-made ball. Kevin was full of sorrow at the sight of his old home-made
ball, and he let out a sad sigh(叹气). As his sadness turned to anger, he picked up his new football and
kicked it into the air. Kevin kicked it so hard that it flew past the library and over the school gate. Then
Kevin walked to the bench and picked up his home-made ball. Holding it in his hands, Kevin sat down
and waited.1. The best title for this passage is ______.A. A Home-Made Football                
B. Playing Football
C. Two Close Friends                    
D. A New Football

     I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and
awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I
would never have that sort of career(职业).
     I wasn"t an excellent student because I didn"t do much schoolwork. In my final term I
started thinking what I might do and found I didn"t have much to offer. I just accepted that I
wasn"t the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job,looking after two little girls. It wasn"t too bad at first. But the
problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out
for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week,she"d
give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn"t often work out. I was getting extremely
tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
     One Sunday,I was in the park with the children,and met Megan who used to go to
school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course
and get a qualification(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children. I didn"t think I would
be accepted because I didn"t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the
local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on
a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family,and got work helping out at a
kindergarten.
     Now I"ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had
known earlier that you could have a career,even if you aren"t top ofthe class at school.

B. She was fed up with children.
