If something interesting happened, Sam went to photograph it. His photographs won many prizes and he earned a lot of money.
    He was a married man and his wife often asked him to take her with him, but he always refused. “I travel for work, not for pleasure,” he told her. “You won’t enjoy yourself, and I won’t have time to look after you. Sometimes there’s not even anywhere to stay and I have to sleep outside. I often don’t have a good meal or a bath for days. You won’t like it”
    “Sam, I’m not a child,” his wife argued. “I can look after myself. Please, take me with you next time you go overseas.”
    Sam did not say anything but he thought about it, and when he was asked to go to Africa he said, “You can come to Africa with me if you want to. I’ve got to take photographs of the wildlife there. It should be interesting and not too uncomfortable. We’ll be staying with a ranger(森林管理员) ”
    His wife was very excited, and at first she had a very enjoyable time.
    Then one day, Sam went off to find some lions to photograph. His wife went with him, but before long they became separated(分开). They came to a fork on the way, and she walked down one way while he walked down the other. Then Sam heard her screaming. He ran back to the fork on the way and saw her running forward him.

    Although I didn’t have any interest in being a school bus driver, I became one. Many years later, I was still working on the school bus. There are so many good reasons. Firstly, the talk brought me different kinds of information. I also got to hear all the family secrets of the newcomers. I have a toy bear who was a great comforter(安慰者) for the little ones. The kids got to look after him on the trip to school and he waited patiently for them to get on for the trip home.

    Our bus would often pass a place where we could see some alpacas (羊驼) in front of a farm house. Little Michael would cry excitedly from the seat, “Look, Miss! Look at the camels!” He used to put his head out of the bus window. When I warned him that a little insect would come into his nose if he wasn’t careful, he smartly gave up the habit.
    I remember a little girl got on the bus one morning 5 years ago and sobbed(抽泣) all the way to school. We arrived at the school gate. As she waited to get down the bus, she threw her arms around my neck and cried that her grandfather had died the night before.
    A school bus driver needs to keep one eye on the road and the other on the mirror to watch what the little ones are doing down the back.
    Now, it’s important to think how many lives I’ve been responsible(负责的) for, and how many kilometers I’ve driven in order to get my passengers home safely during the 20 years. I’ve enjoyed it, but it’s time to rest and park my school bus.
    小题1:When did the writer begin to be a school bus driver?
    A．5 years ago.B．10 years ago.C．20 years ago.D．30 years ago.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refer to (所指)?
    A．toy bearsB．kidsC．school busesD．secrets
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE?
    A．Children didn’t like the driver.
    B．The driver likes the job all the time.
    C．The little girl was excited at seeing the camels.
    D．Children sometimes talked about their family secrets on the bus.
    小题4:The writer didn’t give up her job because        .
    A．driving was her hobby
    B．children made her valuable
    C．drivers were paid well
    D．children loved her toy bear
    小题5:What may the writer’s future plan be?
    A．She decides to stop the job.
    B．She tries to go on driving.
    C．She wants to have a holiday.
    D．She hopes to help more kids.

    I found out one time that doing a favor (关心)for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned(倾斜)over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
    Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized（强调）the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.
    Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.
    小题1:The story took place exactly          .
    A．in the teacher’s office B．in an exam room
    C．in the school libraryD．in the language lab
    小题2:The thing(s) emphasized in the teacher’s talk was (were)          .

    A．the moment he was asked to stay behind
    B．when the teacher started talking about honesty
