Tom was a clever boy, but his parents were poor, so he had to work in his spare time and during his holidays to pay for his education. In spite of this, he managed to get to the university, but it was so expensive to study there that during the holiday he found it necessary to get two jobs at the same time so as to make enough money to pay for his studies.

One summer he managed to get a job in a butcher’s shop(肉店)during the day-time, and another in a hospital at night. In the shop, he learnt to cut meat quite nicely, so the butcher often left him to do all the serving while he went to the back room to do the accounts(賬目). In the hospital, on the other hand, he was, of course, allowed to do the simplest jobs, like helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another. Both at the butcher’s shop and at the hospital, Tom had to wear white clothes.

One evening at the hospital, Tom had to carry a woman from her bed to the place where she was to have an operation. The woman was already feeling frightened at the thought of the operation before he came to get her, but when she saw Tom, that finished her.

“No! No!” she cried.“Not my butcher! I won’t be operated on!” and fainted away(昏厥).

1. Tom made enough money by ________.

A. doing two jobs

B. working in a butcher’s shop

C. cutting meat well

D. studying in the university

2. Tom was a student, but at the same time he was__________.

A. a butcher and a doctor B. a manager and a doctor

C. an assistant D. a manager

3. The woman patient recognized Tom because ____________.

A. he was wearing white clothes

B. he was going to operate on her

C. he was now working in the hospital

D. he had sold meat to her

4.The underlined sentence “when she saw Tom, that finished her” means that the sight of Tom _________.

A. she felt better and better

B. took all her strength and courage away

C. broke her heart

D. made her decide to have an operation

Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5:30 and at 6:30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over Sheba.

“Hey, Sheba,” she said, “I’ve got no time for you now, but I’ll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club.” Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet.

When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office.

“Listen, doctor, I’m really in a rush to get to a meeting. Can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? I’ll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I’ll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”

“Sure.” said the doctor.

Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hall, the phone by the door began to ring.

“This is Dr. Sterne,” said an anxious voice. “I want you to get out of that house immediately,” said the doctor’s voice. “I’m coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!”

At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.

“Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?” shouted Joanne.

“She is fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she’s OK now.”

Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.

“My God,” said Joanne, “how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”

“I think he must be a burglar.” said the doctor. “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat: it turned out to be three human fingers.”

1.From the passage we can infer that ________.

A. the police found the burglar had broken in

B. Joanne had planned to take her dog to the meeting at first

C. Sheba fought against the burglar

D. the doctor performed a difficult operation on the dog

2.The underlined word a burglar in the last paragraph probably means ________.

A. thiefB. physicianC. cleanerD. murderer

3.In this passage, the writer intends to tell us that the dog is ________.

A. cleverB. devotedC. frighteningD. friendly

4.Which of the following statements is true?

A. Joanne had no time to take Sheba to the vet because she had to go to a meeting.

B. It was the doctor who found what the dog had done had called the police.

C. The woman left the dog with the vet and picked her up after the meeting.

D. The woman was warned not to enter the house because there was a burglar.

Last year I ruined my summer vacation by bringing along a modern convenience

that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my email. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed (推特簡(jiǎn)訊). Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation but my head wasn’t.

So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal (退出) from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.

The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration (沮喪). I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely cut off from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for radio and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to all along: read books.

This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem.I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “ I don’t need it,” I said.

However, as we return to post -vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work? There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great. And I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation (誘惑) to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.

I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.

Advice for High School Students

As a person who is graduating from high school very soon, I have some suggestions for students in high school or students who are soon going to be high school students. __1._ I am sure others can benefit from reading them and will not make similar mistakes like me.

__2.__ Do not value first impression highly. Don’t dismiss a person or an idea too early just because you immediately get a bad impression. You will miss many opportunities because of that.

Although something seems bad at the first impression, it does not mean it is bad all the time. Try to give everything a fair chance.

Don’t try to please everybody. There is no way you can please everybody or get everybody to agree with you. __3.It is a huge waste of time.

Have respect for authority. No matter how much you may dislike them, just remember that teachers and parents care about you and they are only doing their jobs. _4._ Don’t argue with them and just obey them.

Realize a high school is not the real world. The real world isn’t a closed environment. __5.__ What is rewarded in high school such as popularity and agreement is different from what is rewarded in the real world. If high school isn’t working out for you, you may find yourself better at handling the real world.

A. Do not be too quick to judge.

B. So just learn to say the word “No” a lot.

C. Listen to their advice and consider it carefully.

D. Many of these are based on regrets that I have.

E. Bad habits are hard to break and remain with you for a long time.

F. Don’t spend any effort trying to please others who will never like you.

G. It is a free society where people accept responsibility for their actions.
