you do not remember most of the things that are taught by your teachers. But this particular story is one
such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I get reminded of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning, and he was making a speech to the students on important things in
life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the
subway. He would get the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would
do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years. His
house was dirty, and a stench (恶臭) came out of the house and it smelled horrible. The neighbors could
not stand the smell any more, so they asked the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down
the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over
the years.
The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire. They waited
outside his house to tell the good news to him. When he arrived home that evening, he was met by one of
the officers who told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a
millionaire. He said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up
as usual, went to the subway, got into the train, and sat at the street corner and continued to beg. Obviously,
this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything important for his life. We learn nothing from this story
other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.
B. remind the students to think deeply
C. show how poor the old man was
D. encourage the students to become rich
B. didn"t know many people respected him a lot.
C. was very angry to find his house broken into.
D. was not so excited as the officer had expected.
B. The old man was foolish not to stop begging.
C. What the headmaster taught was very important.
D. People must have a plan before taking action.
B. Disappointment.
C. Respect.
D. Anger.
B. the headmaster was popular with the students.
B. the old man begged every day without stopping.
D. the neighbors took great pity on the old man.

was infected with HIV by her husband, one of the town"s many drug users. But instead of being shamed
into silence, as Vietnamese with HIV and AIDS are, the 25-year-old tailor and mother of one child went
public, appearing on television and at conferences. Her business suffered and her neighbors insulted (辱骂)
her, but Hue has now become the public face of Mothers and Wives, an HIV/AIDS support group established
in Haiphong by a Norwegian nongovernmental organization and her neighborhood"s People"s Committee. Last
year, she founded a smaller group named after a local flower. People who need advice on treatment or help
can dial a hot line and get assistance from able and empathetic (同情的) HIV victims. "We gather to support
each other," Hue says. "When we are sick, what we need most is encouragement and comfort from people
who understand our situation and are willing to share our happiness, as well as our sadness."
On a hot and damp night last month, Hue welcomed into her small home a very thin woman, also a tailor,
who was HIV positive. The woman tearfully told Hue that she had not told anyone about her condition, fearing
that she would lose customers and that her daughter would be insulted at school. Hue became the wise elder,
offering medical and personal advice.

C. She stayed at home and cried every day.
D. She went public and gave help to others.
B. HIV victims
C. all kinds of patients

| One evening a police officer was driving slowly along a road. He was off duty and was wearing plain clothes. Suddenly he saw two men running out of a building. He heard someone shouting, "Help! Help! Stop thief!" The police officer was sure that the two men were thieves. He knew he must arrest them. However, he was not only out of uniform (制服) but also unarmed (没有带枪). He knew if he got out of his car and tried to arrest them, at least one of the men would easily escape. The police officer was facing a difficult problem. He knew that he mustn"t let the men escape, but how could he arrest them? He thought quickly and had an idea. It involved danger and it might not work, but he decided to try.

"Please take us to the railway station," they told him. "Very good," the police officer said and drove off. After a few minutes, one of the men cried out, "But this isn"t the way to the railway station. Where are you going?" "I must go this way," the police officer explained. "There"s a big fire and the traffic is held up. You don"t want to sit in a traffic jam, do you?" "No, no," the men agreed. "Please take us the quickest way."

| Having an interview (面试) doesn"t sound like a big deal, just like getting good marks in college. You simply go in and meet someone, talk for a while, and then leave. Nothing to stress over, not the end of the world, but I"ve never been interviewed and I have my first one tomorrow for my job in Columbia. I"ve spent a lot of time thinking about it and have decided that it shouldn"t matter all that much. It seems that the interview would only make a difference if the company is on the fence about you, or if the interview was unpleasant and they walk away thinking that you are too, then the officers might be encouraged to think about your request again. On the other hand, if you were in the "maybe" pile, a good interview could push you onto the list of accepted candidates (候选人). I know I shouldn"t worry. After all, they probably have already made up their minds about me. My essay was, to say the least, unique. The interview is at Starbucks. What does that mean? My friend, who did a lot of these interviews last year (and who was accepted to the company there), told me to wear jeans and a nice sweater. I was going to go with a skirt. The fact that it"s at Starbucks, however, is making me think that jeans might be more proper. And then there"s the other problem of knowing who my interviewer is. I discussed this with my music teacher, who suggested, "They"ll probably be wearing something." That good idea hadn"t crossed my mind, which just goes to show that my brain has stopped to function. Stress is taking over my life. Tonight I will prepare. I will choose what to wear and what, if anything, to bring. I like to talk, so this should not be a problem. Hopefully when I get there I"ll find that this is actually the part of the process I"m most comfortable with. Until then I"ll spend my time preparing and hoping. | |||
| 1. Before the interview, the author feels quite _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. lucky B. easy C. hopeless D. excited | |||
| 2. The author wants to wear jeans mainly because _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. the interviewer is fond of them B. her friend likes them very much C. her music teacher suggests her doing so D. they are proper at Starbucks | |||
| 3. The author seems to feel her _____ can do best to the interview. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. clothes B. degree C. talking ability D. college marks | |||
| 4. The best title for the passage would be "_____". | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. My learning trouble B. A good college C. An interview D. Stress of life | |||

| There was a blacksmith (铁匠) who wasn"t satisfied with his work. Once he complained, "I am not well and my work is too warm. I want to be a 1 on the mountain. There it must be 2 , for the wind blows and the trees give a shade.." A wise man who had 3 over all things replied, "Go you, be a stone." And he was a stone, high up on the 4 side. It happened that a stone-cutter 5 that way for a stone and when he saw the one that had been the 6 , he knew that it was what he 7 and he began to cut it. The stone 8 out, "This hurts! I no longer want to be a stone. A stone-cutter I want to be. That 9 be pleasant." The wise man, humoring him, said, "Be a cutter." 10 he became a stone-cutter and as he went seeking a suitable stone, he 11 tired and his feet were sore (酸痛). He 12 , "I no longer want to cut stone. I would be the sun; that would be pleasant." The wise man 13 , "Be the sun." And he was the sun. But the sun was warmer than the blacksmith, than a stone, than a stone-cutter, and he complained, "I do not 14 this. I would be the moon. It 15 cool." The wise man spoke yet again, "Be the moon." And he was the moon. This is warmer than being the sun, 16 he, "for the light from the sun 17 on me ever. I do not want to be the moon. I would be a 18 again. That, indeed, is the 19 life." But the wise man replied, "I am 20 of your changing. You wanted to be the moon; the moon you are and you will remain." | |||
