wish daily from the time he had started work as a teller (银行柜员) at the bank.
All over the country banks were being robbed, George thought sourly. Why not this bank? Were
robbers scornful of its four-million-dollar capital?Were they afraid of Mr. Ackerman, the old bank guard, who hadn"t pulled out his gun in twenty-two years?
Of course, George had a reason for wanting the bank to be robbed. After all, he couldn"t simply take
the thick bundles of bills that were under his hands all day long. So he had thought of another way to get
them. His plan was simple. It went like this:
If Bank Robber A holds up Bank Teller B…
And if Bank Teller B gives Bank Robber A a certain amount of money…
What is to prevent Bank Teller B from keeping all the money left and claiming that it was stolen by
Bank Robber A?There was only one problem. Where was Bank Robber A?
One morning George entered the bank feeling something was about to happen. "Good morning, Mr.
Burrows." he said cheerfully. The bank president muttered something and went into his office.
At two o"clock Bank Robber A walked in. George knew he was a bank robber. For one thing, he
slipped in. For another, he wore a mask.
"This is a holdup." the man said roughly. He took a pistol from his pocket. The guard made a small
sound. "You," the bank robber said, "lie down on the floor." Mr. Ackerman lay down. The robber
stepped over to George"s cage.
"All right." he said. "Hand it over."
"Yes, sir." said George. "Would you like it in ten-or-twenty-dollar bills?"
"Just hand it over!"
George reached into his cashbox and took all the bills from the top section-close to six thousand
dollars. He passed them through the window. The robber snatched them, stuffed them into his pocket,
and turned to leave.
Then, while everyone watched Bank Robber A, Bank Teller B calmly lifted off the top section of the
cashbox and slipped bills from the bottom section into his pockets.
The bank robber was gone. George fainted. When he woke he smiled up at the worried faces looking down at him. "I"m all right." he said bravely.
"Perhaps you should go home, George." Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, said.
As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George took the money from his pockets and
counted it. He had seven thousand dollars. He was very happy.
The next morning when George arrived at the bank, it was not open for business. But everyone was
there, helping to examine the bank"s records for the special audit (审计师) Mr. Bell was taking.
George was called into Mr. Burrows" office. The bank president seemed strangely cheerful. "George,"
he said, "I want you to meet Mr. Carruthers, who used to be president of our bank."
"Good morning, George." said Mr. Carruthers. "I was sorry to hear you fainted yesterday. Are you all
right now?"
"Yes, sir. Just fine, thanks."
"I"m glad to hear it. That was quite an adventure. It just goes to show how easy it is to rob our bank."
"Sir?"said George, confused.?
"George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these
days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our little bank can be robbed too. That"s why I
played my little game yesterday, just to keep everybody on his toes."
"I don"t understand." said George. "What game?"
The old man laughed and whipped out a mask. He placed it over his face and said, "All right. Hand it
over!" Mr. Burrows laughed but George did not.
"And the money?" George asked in a small voice.
"Don"t worry." Mr. Carruthers said. "I put it all back in your cashbox, all six thousand. We"re just
finishing up the audit now." George turned cold with fear.
Behind them, the door opened and Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, put his head into the room. "Mr.
Burrows," he said gravely, "may I see you a moment?"
B. make him look like a hero
C. show that Central Bank was important
D. he will be praised by the bank president
B. I have retired, but I haven"t stopping thinking.
C. It"s only a small trick.
D. It"s a coincidence.

"It was a night jump, and we were jumping low," he recalls. "We were training. Somebody got too close
to my parachute (降落伞)."The parachute below blocked Reed"s air and his parachute failed to open.
Reed crashed a hundred feet to the ground, breaking his back in five places.
The next morning, Reed could not move. "Doctors said it was likely that I would never walk again."
Reed stared out of his hospital window, wondering what the future would be like. It was the saddest
moment of his life. "The experts are telling me my body doesn"t work! What am I supposed to do?" he
thought.
To distract (转移注意力) himself, he picked up a book: Robert Heinlein"s Starship Troopers. The
science-fiction describes a set of man-made muscles that would allow people to carry 2,000 pounds. He
thought that if he could build something like that, it might be able to lift him out of his wheelchair. So he
began his project and finally succeeded in building a set of robot legs. Several years later, he made an
amazing recovery and was able to get up and walk away from his wheelchair. He even jumped out of an
airplane again to celebrate.
Reed wanted to do something for others with the second chance that life had given him. He has now
perfected the robot legs that can get the injured, the elderly and the paralyzed (瘫痪的) out of their
wheelchairs. Now he has started his own company to make the legs. "I"ve seen them compete in
marathons and go swimming and mountain climbing," he said. "So never give up!"

From the age of seven, I had dreamed of becoming a member of theStudents Union. I had
always 1 my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us. I dreamed ofbeing a leader, too.
Years flew by, and soon I was able to participate in the elections, 2 I would win. But the first time I stood, 3 anyone voted for me. I decided that I had been stupid to think I had a chance. I wasn"t
pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it 4 to win a school
election. I was 5 .
As I cried in my room that evening, I 6 took a deep breath and decided I wouldn"t stop
dreaming. I decided that I would 7 for election again in my final year at school-and I would win.
I recognized that my 8 had a lot of things in their favor. What were the 9 that would work in
my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest 10 was the faith I had
in myself. I would not allow my 11 appearance to hold me back from putting my best foot forward.
That evening, I 12 making my election plans a whole year in advance.
I realized that girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to 13 them.
I loved making friends and I liked being helpful, 14 I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities
to my advantage. In order to learn how to give a great election 15 , I also attended a course on
effective public speaking.
The day after the election, the principal announced I had won the second highest number of votes.
The students 16 . The joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was also theirs.
Suddenly, I realized that I had 17 much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new
friends and had helped people 18 the way. I had won the 19 and love of my schoolmates and
they knew me as somebody who would stand by them. I was able to put a smile on their faces and
20 their day.

somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to contact
the AA Company. Low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind
blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time I crossed one of the side streets. It had
rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was
wearing a thick coat.
There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom I could ask. I had
thought I might find a shop open selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds, but the town
was completely dead. The only living thing I saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant.
Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from
sight in a dark narrow street. Next to it was the town" s only public call box, which badly needed a coat
of paint. I hurried forward, but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was
a man inside. He was fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat. I could not see his face and he
did not even raise his head at the sound of my footsteps.
Carefully, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait for my turn. It was when I
threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box
door.
B. A cold winter afternoon.
C. An early summer morning.
D. A windy summer afternoon.
A. Cold and frightening.
B. Dirty and crowded.
C. Empty and dead.
D. Unusual and unpleasant.
B. shining brightly
C. flowing slowly in drops
D. appearing slowly
B. He was angry at being disturbed by the writer.
C. He was probably fast asleep.
D. He was probably murdered.
from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an
elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.
We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced
ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So
as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,
"My I get you something?"
"A coffee would be nice."
Then I bought him a cup of coffee, we talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I
rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,
"How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?"
"Who?"
"The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs."
I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the
world"s richest and most powerful men!
My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with
respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.
B. Kind.
C. Elegant.
D. Untidy.
B. he thought the old man was poor
C. he intended to show his politeness
D. he would like to thank the old man
B. Pitiful.
C. Proud.

B. It is honorable to help those in need.
C. We should avoid judging people by their appearances.
D. People in high positions are not like what we expect.
