     My son was a second-grader. He went to school by bus every day. He was the first student on in the
morning , as we were farthest from school, and the last student off in the evening. I was a teacher myself
and it was a comfort to realize the school staff were all working as hard as I was to provide a safe learning environment.
      One day I came home from work and waited for my son to get home for a long time. Then I called
the school. " perhaps he's just a bit late," said the secretary. " I will call the driver to see if those children
are home." A few minutes later, I answered the phone to hear that the other students were home. Then I
called his friends' parents, to see if perhaps he had gotten off at their stop to play. The answers were all " No"
      By that time, it was dark and I was scared. My home was in the mountain areas. My husband wasn't
at home, so I forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him. I was about to go out
when the telephone rang; it was from the driver. "He's okay." I heard. " He was asleep on the seats in the
dark, under a couple of jackets. Since it's dark, can he spend the night with my family?"
      I was relieved and agreed. Since my son had a great adventure, the school started giving a copy of
the list to the driver, so he could check off the children's names when they got off the bus. I think highly of
the school for taking the cautionary(警戒的) step ahead; it is a sign of their concern for students, parents, and staff.

My mansion

　　Welcome to my mansion. Let me show you around. Oh, please leave your shoes by that marble door. Of course, my shoe servant will clean or polish them for you and have them ready when you leave.

　　First, let's take the escalator down to the basement. The first door on our left leads to the bowling alley. It uses a computer system to keep score for you.

　　Next, on the right, you'll notice the entrance to the indoor tennis courts. The blue surfaced court is a hard court, the green is carpeted, and the red one is clay.

　　A basketball court? That's on the third floor. I'll show that to you later.

　　This room over here, that's thirty tons of sand on the floor. No, it's not a big sandbox. You don't expect my cat to use a regular litter box, do you?

　　At the end of the hall, let me open the door for you, you'll see the indoor swimming pool. It looks like a small lake. Cool, or what?

　　Well, that's about it for this level, except for the arcade room, but that isn't quite finished yet. When it's done, there will be over 200 machines. Here, let's just take this elevator to the first floor.

　　As we come out of the elevator, we can see the main kitchen. Naturally, it's staffed twenty-four hours a day. See that man over there? He's one of my hamburger chefs. No home should be without at least one hamburger chef. That woman over to the right, the one with the tomato sauce on her nose, she's the head pizza chef. I paid her big bucks to come here from Pizza Hut.

　　Why don't we walk down to the far end of this hallway? I'll show you the television room. Yes, I know this looks more like a theater, but that screen is only 120 inches wide. The satellite and cable remote controls are built right into the arm rests of these reclining chairs.

　　Hey, I've got to show you the computer room next. Then we can stop in the exercise room and…

　　Oh, Mrs Plant, sorry, I guess I was daydreaming. My math? It's not done yet. I've got my name, my first name anyway, on the paper. My writing piece? Uh, is it OK if I write about the mansion I'm going to have someday?

請(qǐng)簡(jiǎn)要回答下列各題

1．Where does the narrator's mansion exist?

2．Where is the narrator?

3．Who is the narrator talking to?

4．What would your dream house be like?

閱讀理解
     My friend Robert started a new job this week and he's been in the training class for two days. The
employer has a very strict dress code-dark blue shirts and pants.
     On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly
told that he would be fired if he didn't have the right clothes the next day. He explained, "Sir, I had been
told about this, but because of my larger size, it's sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price
I can afford."
      Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn't lose the chance of work simply because
he couldn't afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in
case it was needed.
     When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. "You have 10
minutes to be in proper clothes," he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have
10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a
shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.
     The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn't accept such a gift from a stranger.
Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收據(jù)) and couldn't return them-a little white
lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.
     "My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn't have enough to buy the
clothes," he told Robert. "It's unbelievable to me that a person would do such a thing for only knowing
me a day!"
     More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.

1.  If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____.

A. be punished
B. be offered another job
C. put off the training class
D. lose his job

2. The money which was paid for the clothes was _____.

A. the trainer's
B. the older man's
C. the writer's
D. Robert's

3. How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?

A. He told the older man that he would lose his job if he did not take them.
B. He told a lie that the clothes didn't fit himself.
C. He told the older man that he could save money and return it later.
D. He told the older man that he had no way to send them back.

4. What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Proper clothes for a stranger
B. Fight against strict rules
C. A strange employer
D. An unbelievable thing

     My brotherinlaw opened the drawer of my sister's cupboard and took out a package.He said, "This is
a new silk slip (襯裙). Jane bought it in New York nine years ago.She never wore it.She was saving it for a special occasion.I guess this is the occasion."
     It was an exquisite (精美的) handmade silk slip.The price tag on it was still attached.
     He took the slip from me and put it on the bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician (殯儀員). His hands lingered on the soft material for a moment, and then he shut the drawer and turned
to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion.Every day you're alive is a special occasion."
     His words have changed my mind.I'm spending more time with my family and less time on meetings.
I'm trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them.I'm not saving anything.I wear my good skirt
to the market if I feel like it.I can pay $28.49 for a small bag of groceries.I'm not saving my good perfume
for special parties.If something is worth seeing, hearing or doing, I want to see, hear and do it now.
"Someday"_has_disappeared in_my vocabulary.
     I'm not sure what Jane would have done if she had known she'd not be here for the tomorrow.I'm
guessing Jane would have called family members and a few close friends.She might have apologized to
her former friends for their past quarrels.She'd have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.

閱讀理解
     My father was Chief Engineer of a merchant ship,   which was sunk in World War Ⅱ. The book
Night of the Uboats told the story.
     Memories
     In September,   1940,   my mother,   sister and I went to Swansea,   where my father's ship was
getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep
him safe.
     Then I remember my mother lying face down,   sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship
had been sunk by a torpedo(魚(yú)雷).
     I can remember the arrival of the telegram(電報(bào)),   which in those days always brought bad news.
My grandmother opened it. It read,   "Safe.Love Ted."
     My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father's knee,   his arm in a
bandage.
     He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For
as long as I can remember,   he had a weak heart.Mother said it was caused  by the torpedoes. He
said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever,   he died suddenly in his early 50s.
     Ten years later I read Night of the Uboats and was able to complete the story.
    Torpedo
    One torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room,   where the third engineer was killed.
He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.
     By the time he got on deck(甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had
stuck fast. When he tried to cut it free,   it swung against the ship,   injuring his hand and arm.He had
no choice but to jump-still with the photograph in his pocket.
     Three days later,   he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow.All 23 with him signed the back of
the photograph.
     A Toast
     In my room is the book and the photograph. Often,   glass in hand,   I have wondered how I would
have dealt with an explosion,   a sinking ship,   a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest(以
免)we forget,   I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.

1. We can infer that the mother and children went to Swansea________.
A. to meet a friend
B. to see the father off
C. to take a family photo
D. to enjoy the sailing of the ship

2. What did the author learn about the father from the telegram?

C. His ship had been sunk.
D. He had arrived in Glasgow.

3. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 6 refers to the father's________.

B. taking a shore job
C. failure to return to sea
D. injury caused by a torpedo

4. What can we know about the author's father after his ship was attacked?

B. He repaired the engines.
C. He managed to take a lifeboat.
D. He was the last to leave the ship.

5. What is the passage mainly about?
