阅读理解。     Strait was an experienced safecracker who never used force -either against people or safes (保险箱). He was a real artist of his trade and it took him only 19 minutes to open the most difficult safe he had ever encountered (遇见). In about 10 years, helped by his brother Stefan and two friends, he took about $330,000 -from the safes of 28 banks in Austria. On his last job, early in 1999, he left the safe door open and $80,000 behind. With the money was a note, "We don"t need all that much."
     A witness (目击者) recognized his car and Strait was caught by the police. Then he was sent to
Austria"s Stein Prison to serve a six-year sentence. He boasted (吹嘘) at his trial(审判) that he would
continue breaking the law, "I am a thief and I shall use every opportunity." Despite the warning, prison
officials moved Strait to the prison"s blacksmith (铁匠) shop. One day during the week before Christmas, Strait disappeared. Searchers found all his doors were well locked. Strait had managed to make a set of
keys and let himself out.
     Not to freedom, though. After crossing into Bavaria, Strait attracted the suspicion (怀疑) of German
customs (海关) police on purpose and got himself arrested. "I want to be in a German prison, "he
explained to the surprised police. "As German courts give much milder (温和的) sentences for crimes
(罪) like mine and will reduce the time I would otherwise have served in Stein Prison."
     In prison, Strait persuaded his keepers to let him make a Christmas Eve telephone call to his former
keeper, Karl Schreiner of Stein Prison. "I"m sorry if I caused trouble. I didn"t want to embarrass(使尴尬) anybody by escaping. Conditions weren"t that bad. In fact the food was better than it is here."1. The underlined word "safecracker" in the first paragraph means "_________".A. prisoner

e. Strait escaped from prison.A. d-b-a-c-e    
B. b-a-c-d-e      
C. b-c-d-e-a

阅读理解。      A Scotsman and an Englishman lived next door to each other. The Scotsman owned a hen and each
morning he would look in his garden and pick up his hen"s egg for breakfast. One morning he looked into
his garden and saw that the hen had laid an egg in the Englishman"s garden.
      He was about to go next door when he saw the English-man pick up the egg. The Scotsman ran up
to the English-man and told him that the egg belonged to him because he owned the hen. The Englishman
disagreed because the egg was on his property (财产).
     They argued for a while until finally the Scotsman said, "In my family we normally settle disputes (争
议) by the following actions: We kick each other and we compare the time how long it takes us to get
back up. Whoever gets up quicker wins the egg."
     The Englishman agreed to this, so the Scotsman found his heaviest pair of boots (皮靴) and put them
on. He took a few steps back, then ran toward the Englishman and kicked as hard as he could in his
stomach.
     The Englishman fell to the floor, holding his stomach and howling (嚎叫) in pain for 10 minutes.
Eventually (最终) the English-man stood up and said, "Now it"s my turn to kick you." At this time, the
Scotsman said, "oh, maybe you should just keep the egg."1. What do we know about the hen?   A. It belonged to the two men equally.
B. It laid an egg every other day.
C. Its eggs were usually cooked by the Scotsman as breakfast. 
D. It usually laid eggs in the Englishman"s garden. 2. The underlined word "disputes" in Paragraph 3 means "_______". A. arguments    
B. wars    
C. plans      
D. Debts3. What"s the real purpose of the Scotsman"s proposal (提议)?A. He wanted to get his egg back from the Englishman.
B. He wanted to solve their dispute.
C. He wanted to teach the Englishman a lesson.
D. He wanted to find out who was the stronger of them.

阅读理解。     I live in a very over populated beach area in the Los Angeles, and I love the beautiful scenery!
But because of many people, lots of things are easy to be out of order, and sometimes it’s also
easy to lose your cool. Today was a day I wish I did not get out of bed. I mean that if I did not
have to wake up and deal with all the things that I deal with on a daily basis, it would have been
wonderful.
     I had a cup of coffee this morning and that was my meal for breakfast, not healthy I know.
Anyway, my stomach was sounding like a truck. So, I jumped in my car and decided to buy
some food.
     I was in line at Taco Bell (一家墨西哥速食店) and the line was like a long snake! Finally I
got to place my order, but a young girl in nice clothes pulled in and was stuck in such a way that
unless I moved for her, she wouldn’t be able to get out. So I backed up and waved her into my
place in the front of the line.
     To my surprise, this young girl did not say thanks. I was cool with it because I thought that I
had done something nice for a change. After the girl received her food and pulled away, I pulled
into the ordering spot, not mad, but hungry, and the employee said, “Hi, that girl just paid for your
food.”
     That food was the most satisfying nourishment (营养品) my body had ever taken! If just by
chance you are that person who bought my food, I should say “Thank you!” 1. The underlined part in the first paragraph probably means “_____”.A. be friendly to others

B. She drove away with her own food.
C. She received her food and waved goodbye.
D. She paid for the author’s food without him knowing.4. The best title for the passage might be _____.A. Kindness is spreading
