Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living．One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM．When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window．

I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice．

After a long pause, the door opened．A small woman in her eighties stood before me．By her side was a small suitcase．

I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman．She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car．

She kept thanking me for my kindness．“It?s nothing,” I told her．“I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated．”

“Oh, you?re such a good man．” She said．When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”

“It?s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly．

“Oh, I?m in no hurry,” she said．“I?m on m y way to a hospice(临终医院)．I don?t have any family left．The doctor says I don?t have very long．”

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器)．

For the next two hours, we drove through the city．She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl．

Sometimes she?d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing．

At da wn, she suddenly said,” I?m tired．Let?s go now．”

We drove in silence to the address she had given me．

“How much do I owe you?” she asked．

“Nothing．” I said．

“You have to make a living,” she answered．“Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered．Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug．She held onto me tightly．Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy．”

56．The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______．

A．show she was familiar with the city B．see some places for the last time

C．let the driver earn more money D．reach the destination on time

57．The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______．

A．wanted to do her a favor

B．shut off the meter by mistake

C．had received her payment in advance

D．was in a hurry to take other passengers

58．What can we learn from the story?

A．Giving is always a pleasure．

C．An act of kindness can bring people great joy．

I had been to several doctors as a child, but I have a special place in my heart for Dr．Vincent．He was a Pediatric Cardiologist at UCLA back in 1971 who saved my life．I was eight years old at the time with a severe heart problem and I needed heart surgery．My Mom did not have the money, and without the surgery there was a real good chance I would not live to be thirteen years old．After contacting several organizations Dr．Vincent was able to get financial help for me through United Way, a Cripple d Children?s Organization．

Dr．Vincent was a handsome man; he was also very gentle and caring．I remember being in the hospital for an Angiogram test, and during the procedure I was crying terribly, so the medical staff called in Dr．Vincent to calm me down, and he was able to comfort me when no one else could．Then the time came for me to have heart surgery; there was a fifty- percent chance that I would not make it through the surgery because it was experimental．At the time I was only the second or third person to have this procedure done．I was absolutely terrified, and again Dr．Vincent reassured me he would see to it that everything would be all right．

I had a lot of confidence and trust in Dr．Vincent; He came to see me after the surgery, which was extremely painful but very successful, and brought me a stuffed animal．I was so surprised to get this gift from Dr．Vincent; I gave him a hug．I guess Dr．Vincent must have known I was feeling very lonely and scared．You see, I had no family or friends visit me while I was in the hospital except for my Mom, and I am not sure why．I do know one thing; I had a wonderful doctor who took the time to help a scared little girl who felt all alone．

This was twenty eight years ago, so wherever you are Dr．Vincent, I want to thank you for not only saving my life, but you helped me live a normal productive life, and for showing me that you truly cared, for that I will be eternally grateful to you．

59．Why did Dr．Vincent have a special place in her heart? Because________．A．Dr．Vincent was handsome

B．Dr．Vincent was caring and kind

C．Dr．Vincent carried out the operation．

D．Dr．Vincent offered the money the operation needed．

60．Dr．Vincent was called in during my test to ________________．

A．feed her B．comfort her

C．scare her D．have the surgery．

61．Which of the following is true except ___________．

A．the operation was experimental．

B．she didn?t trust in Dr．Vincent

C．the operation would be extremely painful

D．she felt scared and all alone

62．How did Dr．Vincent get the money for the operation?

A．He collected it in the hospital．

B．He saved the money day by day

C．He got help from an organization．

D．He borrowed the money from his friends

C

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car．Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所)．I suggested that they should stay at …bed and breakfast?houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family．My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories．

“We didn?t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday．”

I thought this was strange．Finally I understood what had happened．My friends spoke little English, and they thought …V ACANCIES? meant …holidays?, because the Spanish word for …holidays? is …vacaciones?．So they did not go to house where the sign outside said …V ACANCLES?, which in English means there are free rooms．Then my friends went to house where the sign said …NO V ACANCLES?, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday．But they found that these houses were all full．As a result, they stayed at hotels!

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs．In Spanish, the word …DIVERSION? means fun．In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road．When my friends saw the word …DIVERSION? on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun．Instead, the road ended in a large hold．English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages．Once in Paris, when someone offer ed me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French．I meant that I would like some more．However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you．”

63．My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______．

A．learning English B．finding places to stay in England

C．driving their car on English roads D．going to England by car

64．…NO V ACANCIES? in English means ______．

A．no free rooms B．free rooms

C．not away on holiday D．holidays

65．When someone offered me more coffee and I said “Thank you” in French, I ______．A．didn?t really want any more coffee B．wanted them to take the coffee pot away C．really wanted some more coffee D．wanted to express my politeness

66．I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I ______．

A．hadn?t finished drinking my coffee B．was expecting another cup of coffee

C．meant that I didn?t want any more D．was never misunderstood

D

When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me．I seek friends whose qualities illuminate（照亮）me and train me up for love．It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share．When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend．We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors．We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let?s start with a train whistle today．” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle．Then we would read them aloud．At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped．

When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend．He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair．But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time．We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things．We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted．We gave London to each other．

For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine．We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves．Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other?s dreams．She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind．In my most interesting moments, I often think:“Yes, I must tell…．”We have never met．

It is such comforting companions I wish to keep．One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend．

67．In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______．

A．become serious about her study B．go to her friend?s house regularly

C．learn from her classmates at school D．share poems and stories with her friend 68．In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means ______．A．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us

B．we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London

C．our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared

D．we parted with each other in London

69．According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend _______．

A．call each other regularly B．have similar personalities

C．enjoy writing to each other D．dream of meeting each other

70．In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ______．

A．seek professional help B．be left alone

C．stay with her best friend D．break the silence

Recently the students in our class have discussed the following topic: which is more important for college graduates to choose jobs, being interested in it or being good at it?

Some agree that the love of job is very important because interest is the best teacher．People are often willing to do what they like doing．If you are not good at it in the beginning, you can work hard and gradually improve your skills to make you good at it．Others hold their view that if you are good at it, you have more chances to achieve success very soon．While you work, you can do all you can to gain the interest in it little by little．

From my point of view, I think we should make full use of our strengths to change them each other regardless of the fact that you like it or you are good at it．
