Robert had just moved into the street and he felt strange that he was not wanted. He knew that perhaps the other boy students were trying to get an idea of what kind of a boy he was. This did not help to make him less lonely. He was new and he had to be tested. Still, proving himself would not be all that easy. He did not want to run with bad boys or get into something against the law to prove that he was strong. No! He must show what he was made of in a more helpful way. That would be better when he got the idea.

The next day was Saturday. He knew that most of the boys would be down on the playground and choose up sides for the Saturday game. Robert knew he could play well and that just might be enough to prove he was strong and to make friends with them. He arrived early and did his step exercises. He shot the ball several times and did some other exercises—the most difficult and most wonderful in basketball. Then the boys came. Robert went through what he had done before the game and showed what he could do.

No one said a word. The boys just looked at each other and thought about it. In the end, when it was all over, the biggest of the group just smiled and shook his head. Robert knew he had made it.

  A. Robert felt more lonely because the other boys wanted to test him.

  B. Robert did not want himself to be less lonely.

  C. Robert felt as lonely as before when the other boys tried to find out what kind of a boy he was.

  D. The other boys did not want to make Robert feel less lonely.

2. When did Robert decide to prove himself by playing basketball?

  B. Long before he moved into the street.

  C. When the other boys came down to the playground.

  D. As soon as he showed what he was made of in front of the other boys.

3. What did the biggest of the group mean by shaking his head?

  A. He did not want to say anything about what Robert had done.

The man sitting opposite Robert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other.

   “Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.

    “And why do you want to do that?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” he answered.

    The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident (自信). Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it.

    The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (数字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,” he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.” Robert noticed the word “may.” He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.

In the story the Financial Controller was a person who was in charge of________.      

   A. Robert’s department’s programmes.        B. EBC programmes.

   C. EBC money.                          D. both B and C.

“Your request is out of the question.” Here “out of the question”means_______.

   A. without any question   B. with some question.    C. impossible.   D. possible.

Robert decided to make more programmes because________.

   A. he wanted to meet the needs of the listeners.

   B. “the FC”disliked him

   C. the members of his department wanted him to do so.

   D. he wanted to show himself off.

Why were more and more people listening to Robert’s programmes?

   A. Because he always lost his temper (脾气).

   B. Because he disliked “the FC.”

   C. Because the programmes were rich and to the taste of the listeners.

   D. We don’t know.

Who do you think won the argument(争论)in the end?

   A. The Financial Controller.    B. Robert.    C. Nobody.    D. The listeners.
