A Box of Cookies
A small boy at summer camp received a large package of cookies in the mail from his mother. He ate a few, and then 1 the remainder under his bed．The next day, he found the box was 2 .
That afternoon a camp leader, who had been 3 of the theft（偷竊）, saw another boy sitting behind a tree eating the stolen cookies. " 4 young man," he said to himself, "must be 5 not to steal."
He returned to the group and 6 the boy whose cookies had been stolen. "Billy," he said, "I 7 who stole your cookies. Will you help me give him a lesson?"
"Well, yes--but aren't you going to 8 him?" asked the boy.
"No, that 9 only make him angry and hate you," the leader 10 "I want you to call your mother and ask her to 11 you another box of cookies."
A few days later the boy received another box of cookies.
"Now," said the leader, "the boy who stole your cookies is down by the lake, Go and share your 12 with him."
"But, he's the thief." said the 13 boy." I know. But 14 it--see what happens." Half an hour later the camp leader saw the two come 15 the hill, arm in arm. The boy who had stolen the cookies was 16 trying to get the other to accept his jackknife in payment 17 the stolen cookies, and Billy was just as earnestly（真誠的） 18 the gift from his new friend, 19 that a few old cookies weren't that 20 anyway.

If you are ever lucky to be invited to a formal dinner party in Paris, remember that the French have their own way of doing things, and that even your finest manners may not be “correct” by French custom. For example, if you think showing up promptly at the time given on the invitation, armed with gifts of wine and roses, complimenting your hostess on her cooking, laughing heartily at the host's jokes and then leaping up to help the hostess will make you the perfect guest, think again.
Here Madame Nora Chabal, the marketing director of the Ritz Hotel in paris, explained how it works.
The first duty of the guest is to respond to the invitation within 48 hours. And, the guest may not ask to bring a guest because the hostess has chosen her own.
Flowers sent in advance are the preferred gift. They may also be sent afterwards with a thank-you note. It is considered a very bad form to arrive with s gift of flowers in hand there by forcing the hostess to deal with finding a vase when she is too busy to do that. See, that's the logic! The type of flowers sent has a code of its own, too. One must never send chrysanthemums because they are considered too humble a flower for occasion. Carnations are considered bad luck, and calla lilies are too reminiscent（令人聯(lián)想）of funerals（葬禮）. A bouquet of red roses is a declaration of romantic intent. Don't send those unless you mean it, and never to a married hostess. And though the French love wine, you must never bring a bottle to a dinner party. Why, it's as if you feared your hosts would not have enough wine on land, and that's an insult. You may, however, offer a box of chocolates which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee.
If an invitation is for eight o'clock, the considerate guest arrives at 8:15. Guests who arrive exactly on time or early are mere thoughtless ones who are not giving the hostess those last few minutes she needs to deal with details and
crises, The “correct” guest arrives between 15 to 20 minutes after the hour because dinner will be served exactly 30 minutes past the time on the invitation.
(1) Which of the following statements is right according to the French custom?
[ ]
A．When you receive an invitation, reply to it within two days. You'd better send flowers in advance.
B．Arrive exactly on time at the dinner party.
C．Bring a bottle of good wine to the dinner party.
D．Telephone to ask if you could bring a good friend to the party.
(2) Which of the following is right about sending flowers?
[ ]
A．If someone is dead, send chrysanthemums or calla lilies.
B．If someone is ill in hospital, send carnations.
C．If you are invited to a dinner party, send red roses to the hostess.
D．If you are in love with someone, send red roses.
(3) If you are in love with someone, send red roses, what should you do?
[ ]
A．Bring a bouquet of flowers when you go to the party.
B．Send a bouquet of flowers afterwards with a thank-you note.
C．Bring a bottle of wine instead of a bouquet of flowers.
D．The hostess will never mind of you send flower or not.
(4) What is the passage mainly about?
[ ]
A．How to hold a dinner party.
B．How to send flowers.
C．Good manners at a French dinner party.
D．Different countries have different manners.

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her morn," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an
award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says."I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up--again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."
1. Why did Mary feel regretful?
A. She didn't achieve her ambition.
B. She didn't take care of her mother.
C. She didn't complete her high school.
D. She didn't follow her mother's advice.
2.We can know that before 1995 Mary___________。
A. had two books published
B. received many career awards
C. knew how to use a computer
D. supported the JDRF by writing
3. Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her __________
A, living with diabetes
B, successful show business
C. service for an organization
D. remembrance of her mother
4. When Mary received the life-changing news, she __________
A. lost control of herself B. began a balanced diet
C. Med to get a treatment D. behaved in an adult way
5. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Mary feels pity for herself.
B. Mary has recovered from her disease.
C. Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D. Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register(收款機(jī)) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash(現(xiàn)金), had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
Icouldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
1. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ______.
|
A．promised to obey the store rules |
|
B．forgot to take any money with him |
|
C．hoped to have the food first and pay later |
|
D．could not afford anything more expensive |
2.Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?
|
A．kind and lucky |
B．poor and lonely |
|
C．friendly and helpful |
D．hurt and disappointed |
3. The writer acted upon the store rules because ______.
|
A．he wanted to keep his present job |
|
B．he felt no pity for the old gentleman |
|
C．he considered the old man dishonest |
|
D．he expected someone else to pay for the old man |
4.What does the writer learn from his experience?
|
A．Wealth is more important than anything else. |
|
B．Helping others is easier said than done. |
|
C．Experience is better gained through practice. |
|
D．Obeying the rules means more than compassion. |
