阅读理解。     After a year in America, I have learned some interesting American expressions. Many people believe
that money makes the world go around. I do not agree with the idea. But I do admit that money can make people do strange things. Let me tell you about a person I once knew who liked to gamble (赌博).
     My friend Bob had a problem because he liked to gamble at all costs. He would play at any time and
at any price. Sometimes my friend would clean up. He would win a lot of money on one card game.
Other times my friend would simply break even. He neither won nor lost money. But sometimes Bob
would lose his shirt. When this happened, my friend would have to go into debt and owe people money.
     Recently, Bob turned to crime after losing all his money. In his job, he kept the books for a small
business. He supervised (监管) the records of money earned and spent by the company. Although my
friend was usually honest, he decided to cook the books. He illegally changed the financial records of the
company. This permitted him to make a fast buck - he made some quick, easy money dishonestly.
     Bob used the money he stole from his company to gamble again. Quickly he was back on his feet,
returning to good financial health. His company, however, ended up in the red, owing lots of money.
     It did not take long before his dishonesty was discovered. The company investigated and charged him with stealing. He ended up in jail. Today, I would bet my bottom dollar that my friend will never gamble
again. I would bet all I have that he learned his lesson from gambling.1. When a person will "lose his shirt" (para. 2) in gambling, we mean that ________.A. he will win all the money to the gambling table
B. he will neither win nor lose money
C. he decides to give up gambling
D. he will lose all his money2. If a company doesn"t run well, it will ________.A. be back on its feet
B. end up in the red
C. make a fast buck
D. break even3. What job does Bob do?A. A salesman.
B. A typist.
C. An accountant.
D. A secretary.4. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To talk about the danger of gambling.
B. To explain some American expressions related to money.
C. To prove that money can make people do strange things.
D. To explain the writer"s attitude towards money.

阅读理解。     The cold wind cut through my enthusiasm (热情) as a tourist in Washington D.C., so I entered the
nearest restaurant for warmth. I ordered a coffee, and began observing people.
     At that time, I saw a man seated nearby and from his eager eyes, I realized that he noticed the
delicious food. His tired body and worn clothes shouted, "Homeless, homeless!"
     "How long has it been since he ate last time?" I wondered. I expected him to approach me for a
handout (施舍物). But he never did. A silent war broke out in my head-one side was telling me to mind
my own business, and the other was urging me to offer him some food.
     While my inner debate moved on, a well-dressed young couple walked up to him. "Excuse me, sir,
"the husband began. "We just finished eating, and our appetites (胃口) weren"t as big as we had thought. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?" He gave the man some food.
"Thank you. Merry Christmas!" the man replied. The man carefully watched his new food, and was about
to eat.
     Something that happened next shocked me. An old man in pants, an old jacket and open shoes
entered the hall and walked towards us. My neighbor saw the situation. Setting aside his meal, he stood
up and guided the old man to the table.
     "Hi, my name is Jack," he said, "and one kind person brought me this meal. I just finished eating and
hate to waste good food. Can you help me out?" The old man answered gratefully, "Sure, but only if you
go halfway with me on that sandwich."
     I left the restaurant that day feeling warmer than I had ever thought possible.1.The author entered the nearest restaurant to         .A. escape the coldness outside

阅读理解。     Three young ladies were receiving trains to be qualified detectives (侦探) by a policeman. To test their
skills in recognizing a suspect (嫌疑人), the policeman showed the first lady a picture for five seconds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thought it easy, for the suspect had only one eye. The policeman felt disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second lady the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would recognize him. The second girl smiled, flipped her hair, and said, "Ha! It"s easy to
find the one-eared person!" Her answer also made the policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, "How would you recognize him?" He added quickly, "Think hard before giving a stupid answer. " The
third lady looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, "HMMMM . . . he is wearing contact
lenses (隐形眼镜)." The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn"t know himself
if the man wore contacts or not. "Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check
his file. He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect"s file in his computer and returned
with a beaming smile. "Wow! I can"t believe it . . . it"s TRUE! The man does in fact wear contact lenses.
Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation?" "That"s easy," the girl replied, "He
