“A nurse asked if I was allergic (過敏的) to anything. ‘Yes’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped  36  as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘37 !’”
“Over the laughter, I told them, ‘Please  38  on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

Paul was dealing with a crisis. The new girl Linda in class really liked him a lot. Paul was not happy about it.
Paul's good friend, Sam, tried to comfort him.  "What's the big deal? I think Linda is kind of cute and nice enough."
Paul glared at Sam. "Then why don't you ask her to be your girlfriend? There she is, sitting all by herself at the other end of the cafeteria. Go there and ask her to be your honey!"
"She's crazy about you, not me," Sam replied.
"Well, I don't want any girlfriend, especially not a girl like her! "Paul growled.
Sam wouldn't give up.  "The only thing pesky about her is that she keeps writing you those notes ."

There was once an 11-year-old boy who went fishing every time he went to an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
On the day before bass (巴斯魚) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure (魚餌) and put it into the lake. Suddenly the boy felt something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened．He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said．
“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats could be seen in the moon-
light. He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed．He threw the huge bass into the black water.
The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish. That
was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
小題1:．How did the father feel when he saw his son skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water?
A．Delighted．B．Nervous.C．Embarrassed．D．Shocked．
小題2:What happened when it became clear that the big fish was a bass?
A．The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.
B．The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.
C．The father made a decision that the fish must be set free.
D．They worried other fishermen might know what they had done.
小題3:The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because            .
A．they might catch a big fish thereB．he remembered the moral lesson from his father
C．he wanted to remember his father D．their children enjoyed fishing there
小題4:What does the author want to show in the story?
A．It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.
B．An ethical decision is not difficult to make.
C．It is hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.
D．Fishing helps you to make right ethical decisions.

He's an old cobbler （修鞋匠）  with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris．When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: “I haven't time．Take them to the other fellow on the main street ; he'll fix them for you right away．”
But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time．Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman． “No,” I replied, “the other fellow can't do it well．”
“The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait” ­­­— without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys．They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap （鞋帶） you might as well just throw away the pair．
My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled．He wiped his hands on his blue apron （圍裙）, looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week．”
I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf．
“See what I can do?” he said with pride． “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work．”
When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me．He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft．
These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption （消費） rather than a way to realize their own abilities．In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done．
小題1:Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?
A．He was equipped with the best repairing tools．
B．He was the only cobbler in the Marais．
C．He was proud of his skills．
D．He was a native Parisian．
小題2:The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend．” （ paragraph 7 ） implies that______
A．nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him
B．it was difficult to communicate with this man
C．the man was very strange
D．the man was too old
小題3:According to the author, many people work just to__________．
A．realize their abilitiesB．gain happiness
C．make moneyD．gain respect
小題4:This story wants to tell us that__________．
A．craftsmen make a lot of moneyB．whatever you do, do it well
