when he noticed that their car was low on gas. Wheeler got off at the next exit and soon found a rundown (破旧) gas station with just one gas pump. He asked the lone attendant (服务人员) to fill the tank and
check the oil, and then went for a little walk around the station to relax his legs.
As he was returning to the car, he noticed that the attendant and his wife were talking excitedly. The
conversation stopped as he paid the attendant. But as he was getting back into the car, he saw the
attendant wave and hear him say, "It was great talking to you."
As they drove out of the station, Wheeler asked his wife if she knew the man. She readily admitted
and she did. They had gone to high school together and had dated steadily for about a year.
"Boy, were you lucky that I came along," bragged (自夸) Wheeler. "If you had married him, you"d be
the wife of a gas station attendant instead of the wife of a CEO."

attendant."

to run after mice; therefore, whenever a mouse meets a cat, the mouse will try to run away as fast as
possible. But, like everything else, there is an exception sometimes.
On day, a young mouse ran around for fun under a tall tree by himself. Maybe because of running too
fast, the mouse accidentally kicked up a small piece of rock. The rock went up to the air then dropped
down hitting a newborn kitten which happened to be taking a nap under the same tree a few feet away
from the mouse"s amusing place. The cat"s body was covered by the falling leaves so the mouse did not
notice a cat sleeping nearby.
The kitten was only a few weeks old. He had never seen a mouse. After being hit, he woke up and
found that the rock was from another animal.
"What kind of strange animal is it? The inexperienced kitten thought, It must have lots of power as it
could kick up a piece of rock to hit me." The kitten was scared. Without mother by side, the kitten ran
home immediately.
The incident made the young mouse very proud. He told his friends, the other mice, "Everybody says
that a mouse is afraid of a cat, but today a fact proved that a cat was afraid of me." So the mouse
announced that he would not escape any more when he saw a cat again. The young mouse"s friends
explained to the young mouse that the rock-hitting case was but an incident. The kitten was too young
to know a mouse. When the kitten grew up becoming a big cat, it would be different. Therefore, the
other mice advised the mouse that he must run away whenever he saw a cat. But the self-important
mouse would not take the advice.
As time went by, after the fall and winter, when the spring came, the kitten had grown up and became
a big cat. One day, when the mouse and several other mice were gathering under the same tree to
discuss something, the former kitten, now a big cat, suddenly showed up. All the mice hurriedly ran away
except the mouse that had frightened away the former kitten. The mouse recognized the cat who was
frightened away by him before, so he remained staying there without escaping.
B. In summer
C. In autumn
D. In winter
B. It knew the cat was too young.
C. It didn"t know there was a cat
D. It wanted to scare the cat away
B. The cat ran away immediately
C. The cat was defeated
D. The mouse begged for mercy
B. It takes only courage to achieve something
C. One can never be strong once frightened
D. One should consider everything before taking action
"Youth" came up in conversation, Rosenfield told his dinner companion, a Japanese business leader, that
the author was his grandfather. The news was staggering.
" "You are the grandson of Samuel Ullman?" he kept repeating," says Rosenfield, head of the American Film Marketing Association. "He couldn"t get over it."
Then the executive pulled a copy of "Youth" from his pocket and told Rosenfield, "I carry it with me
always."
Three years ago, several hundred top businessmen and government leaders gathered in Tokyo and
Osaka to celebrate their admiration of Ullman"s "Youth". Konosuke Matsushita, founder of the Panasonic Company, said "Youth" has been his motto for 20 years."
Someone asked, "Why don"t Americans love "Youth" as much as we do? It sends a message about
how to live beautifully to men and women, old and young alike."
Samuel Ullman was born in 1840 in Germany and came to this country as a boy. He fought in the
civil War and settled in Birmingham, Ala. He was a hardware businessman with a liking for public service
that continues 67 years after his death. In the last few years more than $36,000 from Japanese royalties (皇室) on a book and a cassette reading of his work has gone to a University of Alabama at Birmingham
scholarship fund. Not bad for a man who started writing in his 70s.
B. a magazine
C. a notebook
D. an essay
B. The news is exciting.
C. The news is shocking
D. The news is useful.
B. Japanese royalties recorded "Youth" on a tape.
C. "Youth" is a book about public service.
D. "Youth" has a great effect only on businessmen and leaders
B. The American was trying to find a copy of "Youth".
C. The Japanese was trying to find the author of "Youth".
D. Perhaps Rosenfield"s mother was Ullman"s daughter.
of: a warm bottle, songs, gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead
of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, thinking that watching the late movie was as good a way as
any to kill off the hours until dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down,
his little eyes focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tip-toed out of
the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi"s forty-fifth birthday.
My wife and I heard no more of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room,
I found him still watching TV himself.
I found in my baby"s behaviour a metaphor（隐喻，暗喻）for the new generation. My wife and I
had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit（吐液）upon them. When we read to him,
he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don"t read, that they
look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this
experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion: "Let them watch it!" If television is that
much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight it? Let them watch it all they want!
B. editor
C. writer
D. teacher
B. To entertain himself
C. To enjoy a celebration
D. To help fall asleep
B. To show a new function of TV
C. To advise people to let children watch TV.
D. To show the bad influence of TV on children.
B. It is not necessary for people to force children to read.
C. People have to take action to protect children from the bad influence of TV.
D. People should try to develop children"s interest in reading from an early age.

the poem was heart-breakingly sad. Another student, a girl, said she had read a book by the same writer, but she wasn"t able to enjoy it as much as her mother did, and she didn"t know why. A third, a keen
viewer of TV theatre, recognized a phrase in the poem which had been used as the title of a recent play.
As she answered the questions, Mrs. Cox made sure that her students understood every line of the
poem. he asked them to discuss if the poem contained any message. The discussion became so
lively that no one wanted to stop when the bell rang. Some said there was no message, some said it didn"t
really matter, and the class ended at that.
As she drove home, Mrs. Cox thought about the class she had just left. Today she could feel good
about what she had accomplished as a teacher. None of her students looked bored. Every one of them
seemed interested in the poem. Once they started to talk, they forget about the time. She did not have

Arthur Bonnet works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. Today the
butterfly is coming back thanks to him. But years ago if you"d told him this was what he"d be doing
someday, he would have laughed, "You"re crazy." As a boy, he used to be a little tough guy on the
streets". At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting
a man.
"I knew it had hurt my mom," Bonner said after he got out of prison. "So I told myself I would not
put my morn through that pain again."
One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered
butterfly called E1 Segundo blue.
"I saw the sign "Butterfly Habitat" and asked, "How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can
just fly away?"" Bonner recalls. "Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大镜) ,
"Look at the leaves. " I could see all these caterpillars (蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, "Without the plant, there are no butterflies. ""
Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed
help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he"s been working for four years to help
bring the butterfly back. He grows astragals, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and
brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.
The butterfly"s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr.
Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonnet, he earned something more: he turned his life around.
For six years now Bonnet has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he"s bringing back the
Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.
