     Outside her shabby cottage, old Mrs. Tailor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unaware that
some children lay hidden in the leaves of a nearby tree watching her every move. They were determined
to find out if she really was a witch.
     They watched as she took a broomstick to clean the dirt from her stone steps. But, much to their
disappointment, she did not mount the broomstick and take flight. Suddenly, the old lady"s work was
interrupted by the cackling of her hen-a signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on top of the
haystack.
     The old broomstick was put aside as she hobbled off towards the haystack followed by Sooty, a
black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time back. With only three legs, it was hard for Sooty
to keep up with the old lady. The cat provided proof-the children were sure that only a witch could
own a black cat with three legs.
     There, standing on a wooden box, was Mrs. Tailor, stretching out to gather her precious egg. Taking
the egg in one of her hands, she began to climb down when, without warning, the box broke and the
old lady fell.
     "We have to got and help her," whispered Amy.
     "What if it is a trick?" replied Ben.
     "Don"t be silly, Ben. If she were a witch, she would have turned us into frogs already," reasoned
Meg. "Come on Amy, let"s go." The girls climbed down the tree and ran all the way to the haystack.
     Approaching carefully, they could see a wound on the old lady"s face. She had knocked her head
on a stone and her ankle was definitely broken. "Go and get Dad," Amy yelled to her brother. "Tell him
about the accident."
     The boys did not need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that
Mrs. Tailor would not wake and turn the girls into frogs.

1. Were the children hiding in the tree? A. They wanted to watch Mrs. Tailor do her housework closely.
B. They were playing a hide-and-seek game.
C. They wanted to find out if the rumors about Mrs. Tailor were true.
D. They were pretending to be spies 2. Mrs. Tailor stopped sweeping when _____. A. her front steps were clean
B. she noticed the children in the tree
C. she was ready to take a flight
D. she heard the hen cackling 3. Ben did not rush in help Mrs. Tailor because _____. A. he thought that she could be necking them
B. he knew that they could not have been in the tree
C. he did not the old lady fall down
D. he was afraid of the three-legged cat 4. Which of these old sayings best suits the story"s lesson for us? A. Make hay while the sun shines.
B. Never judge a book by its cover.
C. People in glasshouses should not the stones.
D. A bird in the hands worth two in the bush.

     Honesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didn"t include her when she
told me that if I didn"t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn"t give me any presents.
     But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients.
After all, the doctor patient-relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential. Or so I thought.
     I had just started working in geriatrics (老年病科). Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was
found very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter who"d accompanied him in the ambulance.
She"d been his main career for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history." Has he lost any
weight recently?" I asked, "Well, it"s funny you should mention that, but yes," she said slowly. There was
silence for a few moments. "Why? What are you worried about?" she asked. I hesitated. She was obviously
very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. "Well, we need to prove it"s not cancer,"
I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.
     Half an hour later, a nurse called me:"Mr. McMahon"s daughter broke down-she said you told her he had
cancer." My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that
we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. I stood silently at
the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to
me. "Why on earth did you do that?" she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. "She asked me what
I was worried about and I told her." I said, hanging my head. "And give her more to worry about?" replied my
consultant. "You don"t say the word "cancer" until it"s confirmed. Even if you suspect it, think very carefully
before you tell people."
     As it turned out, it wasn"t cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their
loved one they"re sometimes selective in what they hear-and as a doctor it"s important to be mindful of this.
In being truthful, I"d made the situation worse.

1. The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author _____.

A. misunderstood the doctor-patient relationship
B. was anxious to receive Christmas gifts
C. regarded honesty as the best policy
D. had an unhealthy eating habit

2. The author"s consultant was angry with him because _____.

A. he told the daughter what he suspected
B. he delayed running the necessary tests
C. he failed to confirm the parent"s disease
D. he forgot what the consultant had advised

3. The author hung his head (the underlined part in Para.4) because he was feeling _____.

A. guilty
B. hurt
C. disappointed
D. helpless

4. What lesson has the author learnt from his experience?

A. Learning from parents is necessary.
B. Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous.
C. Telling the truth may not always be the best solution.
D. Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy.

as high as he could, at the   7   of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of   8  .
     Not giving up, he though, if only he had something to   9   on. His school bag wouldn"t give enough height
and he didn"t want to  10  the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking  11 , he hoped
he might find an old box, a rock, or,  12  luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was
nothing he could use.
     He had tired everything he could think to do.  13  seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk
  14 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his  15 , and how
he really wanted that apple. The more he  16  like this, the more unhappy he became.
      17 , the boy of our story was a preetty smart guy,even if he cloudn"t always get what get he wanted. He
started to say to himself. This isn"t  18 , I don"t have the apple and I"m feeling miserable as well. There"s  19
more Ican do to get the apple-that is unchangeable-but we are supposed to be able to  20  our feelings. If that"s
the case, what can I do to feel better?

Shay asked, "Do you think they"ll let me play?" Shay"s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence. Shay"s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around and said, "We"re losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局). I guess he can be on our team and we"ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning." Shay struggled over to the team"s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father"s joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay"s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shay"s team scored again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?

The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, "Shay, run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked. Everyone should, "Run to second!" Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second.By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team fir the first time,could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher"s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman"s head. All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the way Shay." Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, "Shay, run to third." As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, "Shay, run home!" Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who the who won the game for his team. That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world.
