| My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion(提升), I"d call my father right away and he"d rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970, when I was named president of the Ford Motor Company, I don"t know which of us was more excited. Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their loves not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every chance - nothing could have felt more natural. He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn"t get along too well. He f ell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle(车辆) with less than four wheels. Because of that motorcycle, I wasn"t allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen. | |||

| A. he did not like the way I borrowed bicycles from friends B. he thought that cars were faster than motorcycles C. he liked every new model made by my company D. he once had trouble in riding his motorcycle | |||

| I just experienced a moment that turned my entire day around. I went to the cafeteria today to buy my lunch. However, when I entered the line and was ready to take out money, I realized I forgot to take the purse with me. I dug through different parts of my bag, looking for small change. After a while, it became clear that, while I found most of the money I had, I was still short of money to buy my lunch. I started looking around for people who may nicely lend me a little change. I thought about all the time we passed people on the street and said that we didn"t have anything to share. Would that happen to me? I was too hungry to worry about it. Someone would help. I looked for one of my friends in the cafeteria, but it was too early for any of them to take their lunch yet. A very friendly woman appeared in line in front of me. I asked her if she could spare 12 cents. Instead, she suggested that I put my sandwich in her basket, and anything else I would like to buy! I told her that I only needed the sandwich, and offered her the change I had found. However, she insisted on buying me the dinner. A woman joyfully paid for my entire meal and I was grateful. I learned from her that we should give without expecting anything in turn, even "Thanks". 1. When the author wanted to buy her lunch, she found that _____. A. she didn"t have enough money with her B. there were too many people in line C. she had lost her bag somewhere D. there was no sandwich in the cafeteria 2.According to the passage, a woman _____. A. jumped the queue B. bought the dinner for the author C. lent the author 12 cents D. asked the author for food 3.The author didn"t give up looking for help because _____. A. she was sure she could find a friend B. she was very hungry C. she knew the woman would help D. she was worried about her purse | |||

| A 69yearold grandmother with no teeth of her own has eventually won a long legal battle to stop a Scottish regional council(政务委员会) adding fluoride(氟化物)chemical to the public water supply. In a case which has already cost the taxpayer ￡1,000,000, the judge ruled that it was beyond the powers of the local authority to add the chemical to the water in order to reduce tooth decay. At her home last night Mrs Catherine McColl said, “I did what I thought was right and I would do it again, too.”She claimed that adding fluoride to public drinking water made it into some kind of dirty soup.“Where would it stop？”she asked.“They might come up with the idea of putting drugs into the water to keep the unemployed quiet.”It was a horrible poison, she said, that could have caused all kinds of diseases, including cancer. The judge, however, concluded that there was no evidence to suggest that the inclusion of fluoride in the water supply would have had a negative effect on public health. Although the chemical might serve as an efficient and convenient means of achieving a beneficial effect on the dental health of consumers generally, he said, and its use was greatly favoured by the dental profession, he could also understand why some members of the public, Mrs McColl in particular, might be passionately opposed to the action of the Water Authority in assuming the right to improve public wellbeing without consulting the public in the first case. The Authority"s legal duty to provide“wholesome” water for public consumption which was both safe and pleasant to drink, did not, he said, extend to their right to safeguard public health by chemical means. 1. Mrs McColl felt so strongly about the fluoride issue that she eventually ________. A. took the local council to court B. had a physical fight with the judge C. urged the authority to apologize D. spent much money removing the chemical 2. According to what the judge said in the passage, adding fluoride to the water________. A. was not proved to be harmful B. was the duty of the local authority C. was strongly opposed by dentists D. was surely beneficial to the public 3. The word“wholesome”in the last paragraph can be best replaced by the word“________”. A. clear B. poisonless C. healthy D. recycled 4. From the passage we learn that people like Mrs McColl are more concerned about________. A. the improvement of their personal health B. the problem of unemployment in their community C. the chemicals to be used for the improvement of water quality D. their right to be informed of the authorities" decisions | |||
