Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later. I am one of those unlucky people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the place I was heading for. I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit(承认)that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite(相反的)direction to that in which you should be going. If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results. Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting. Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked. 小题1:What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction? A.He will direct the right way to the person willingly. | B.He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town. | C.He will give the very person long list of direction. | D.He is going to show the man an opposite direction. | 小题2:Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?A.Because of his poor sense of direction. | B.Because he always forget the way to home. | C.Because he did not have any friend. | D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way. | 小题3:How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?A.He felt strange. | B.He felt embarrassed. | C.He felt very sad. | D.He felt astonished. | 小题4:Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?A.Someone we don’t know. | B.The writer did it for himself. | C.The secretary did so. | D.A warm-hearted old lady did itI. |

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She said, "I don’t think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat." "Is the man of the house home?” they asked. "No", she replied, "He’s out." "Then we cannot come in", they replied. In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go to tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a house together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked. One of the old men explained that their names were Wealth(财富), Success and Love. Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home." The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed and he suggested inviting Wealth to fill their home with wealth. And his wife wanted to invite Success; but their daughter-in-law suggested they should invite Love so that their home would be filled with love. At last the husband said to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest." The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?" The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!" 小题1:The best title for this passage would be __________.A.A Woman and Three Men | B.Wealth, Success and Love | C.A Strange Thing Happened to a Woman | D.A Husband and his Wife | 小题2:The woman asked the three men to come in and have something to eat because _________.A.she was a warm-hearted woman | B.they were her neighbors | C.they asked her to do | D.they were her friends | 小题3:Who does the underlined word “the man” in the second paragraph refer to?A.The woman’s son. | B.The woman’s father. | C.The woman’s son-in-law(女婿) | D.The woman’s husband. | 小题4:It can be inferred(推断)from the passage that __________.A.The three old men are brothers and they can’t be separated. | B.The husband will refuse them in. | C.The wife will be scolded by the husband. | D.If a person has love, he will own everything. |

Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horse back riding. When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda. Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill. One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her. She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ” Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled.
