Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a  36  on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from  37   to toe, explained that he had   38   out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant wife and his two children   39   at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便車) back.
Once I had   40    a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both   41 , saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he   42  me back.
Before leaving, I had turned the heater  43   in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and  44   .While the little ones played and ran  45   ,I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the  46  .
It was about 5 a.m. before they   47   .The young fellow asked me how much he   48  me and I told him that the petrol pump had   49  $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”, but I wouldn’t accept it.
About a month later, I received a  50   from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to  51  to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It   52   out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most  53   person in the company.
In his letter, he thanked me again and   54  me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this  55  ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. ---Thomas Macaulay
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O’Neill gave an arithmetic   36  to our class. When the papers were   37  she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about   38 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to   39  after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs O’Neill asked   40  questions, and she didn’t   41  us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the   42  words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to   43  these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for   44  I can say:it was the most important single   45  of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they   46  seem to me the best yardstick(準(zhǔn)繩), because they give us a way to _47____ourselves rather than others.
 48  of us are asked to make   49   decisions about nations going to war of armies going to battle. But all of us are called   50  daily to make a great many personal decisions.   51  the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? Should the   52  change received at the store be forgotten or   53 ? Nobody will know except   54 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always   55  to live with someone you respect.

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words. "PAID IN FULL".
How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.
小題1:According to the passage we can infer that _________.
A．the author’s father was once very rich.
B．the author’s father didn’t love him.
C．the author’s father had not enough money to buy a run car.

A．a(chǎn) beautiful run carB．a(chǎn) new leather-bound Bible
C．a(chǎn) gift he hoped forD．only an empty box
小題3:After graduation, author _________ before his father died.
A．often went to see his fatherB．had never gone home
C．went home once in the whileD．a(chǎn)lways contacted his father by phone
小題4:The passage can imply that _________.
A．Good fortune lies within bad, bad fortune lurks within good.
B．The author’s father didn’t understand his child.
C．where there is a will, there is a way.
D．Every man is the son of his own works.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

When I stepped out the plane from Miami into Charlotte, North Carolina, airport for a connecting flight home, I immediately knew something was wrong. Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal. I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, “Don’t ask us for help! We cannot help you!”
I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found six strangers willing to rent a van with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.
The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines (TWA).
I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand corner of the first-class diners’ trays. As are the days when there were three dinner options on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac（機(jī)場(chǎng)停機(jī)坪）in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonald’s hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the airline. I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to soar (翱翔). The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future.
小題1:Many people crowded the terminal because _______.
A．they were ready to board on the planes
B．something was wrong with the terminal
C．the flights to the Northeast were canceled
D．the gate agent wouldn’t help the passengers
小題2: How did the writer get to Providence at last?___
A．by airB．by van
C．by trainD．by underground
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?______
A．Incidents happened to those who fly quite often.
B．The writer used to be a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines.
C．Even a small mistake might cause complaints from passengers in the past.
D．McDonald’s hamburgers and fries were among regular dinner options.
小題4:What can be implied from the passage?____
A．The writer lived in Charlotte, North Carolina.
B．The writer thought the service was not as good as it used to be.
C．The writer with other passengers waited to be picked up patiently.
D．Passengers would feel proud of how they were treated on the plane.

A famous doctor once received a little child who was badly ill. Thanks to his skill and care, his young patient got well and was soon able to get up and run about again.
The child’s mother was very much obliged to the doctor, and she called on him to thank him for what he had done for her child. “Doctor,” she said, “you have saved my little son. I don’t know how to thank you enough. I feel that money alone cannot repay you, so I have made this little purse with my own hands, as a sign of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it.” The doctor stood up and said coldly, “Madam, a little present like that is very nice between friends, but a doctor needs to be paid properly for what he has done.” The lady was so surprised and hurt so much that she could not reply for a moment. Then she said quietly, “Perhaps you will tell me how much your fee is?”“Fifty pounds”, he answered.
The lady opened the little purse and took out four fifty-pound bank notes. She handed one of them to the doctor, and put the other three back into the purse. She put the purse into her handbag and, saying good bye to the doctor, went out of the room.
小題1:The doctor refused the lady’s purse because he thought ______.
A．the purse should be given between friends
B．the purse was too small
C．the lady was not kind to him

Do dogs understand us?
Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.
A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee.
In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.
In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.
The correct object was chosen in seven out of ten tests, suggesting that the dog had worked
out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.
Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品種)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.
It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!
小題1: From paragraph 2 we know that __       .
A．a(chǎn)nimals are as clever as human beings
B．chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills
C．dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees
D．dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children
小題2:Both experiments show that            .
A．Rico is smart enough to get all commands right
B．Rico can recognize different things including toys
C．Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics
D．Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them
小題3: Which of the following statements is true?
A．Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.
B．The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.
C．The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.
D．Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.
小題4:What does the writer want to tell us?
A．To train your dog.B．To talk to your dog.
C．To be careful with your dog.D．To be friendly to your dog.
