　　A few days ago I asked my son's governess(女家庭教师)Julia to come into my study．“Be seated, Julia,”I said, “Let's settle our accounts．I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you're too polite to mention it．Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month…”

　　“Forty．”

　　“No, thirty．I made a note of it．I always pay our governess thirty．Well, um, you've been here two months, so…”

　　“Two months and five days．”

　　“Exactly two months．I made a special note of it．That means you have sixty dollars coming to you．Take off nine Sundays…you know you didn't work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks．And three holidays…”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but－not a word．

　　“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars．Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied(从事)only with Dick．Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch．Twelve and seven-nineteen．Take nineteen off…that leaves…hmm…forty one dollars．Correct?”

　　Julia's left eye reddened with tears welling up．Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but－still not a word．

　　“Around New Year's Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars．The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but － forget it．When didn't I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect(疏忽), Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten．Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick's shoes．You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it．So, that means five more dollars off．The tenth of January I gave ten dollars．”

　　“You didn't．” sobbed Julia．

　　“But I made a note of it．”

　　“Well…if you say so．”

　　“Take twenty seven from forty one－that leaves fourteen．”

　　Both her eyes were filled with tears．Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose．Poor girl!

　　“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife．Three dollars, nothing more．”

　　“Really? You see now, and I didn't know that! Take three from fourteen－that leaves eleven．Here's your money, my dear．Three, three, three, one and one．Here it is!”

　　I handed her eleven dollars．She took them and pocketed them．

　　“Merci(法语：谢谢),”she whispered．

　　I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room．I was overcome with anger．“For what, this ‘merci'?” I asked．

　　“For the money．”

　　“But you know I've cheated you－robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why this ‘merci'?”

　　“In my other places they didn't give me anything at all．”

　　“They didn't give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you．．．I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you．．．Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱)?Why didn't you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)－to be such a fool?”

　　Embarrassed, she smiled．And I could read her expression, “It is possible．”

　　I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars．She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out．I looked after her and thought, “How easy it is to crush(压榨)the weak in this world !”

(1)

[　　]
A．	nervousness in front of her boss
B．	acceptance of injustice(不公平)
C．	shyness when talking about money
D．	unwilling to express herself

　　I made a pledge(发誓)to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage．For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father．Totally loving．No ifs, ands or buts．

　　The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio．The speaker was quoting a Biblical(圣经)passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives．Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will．A person can choose to love．” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband．Well, for two weeks that would change．

　　And it did．Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you．”

　　“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased．Maybe a little puzzled．

　　After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read．Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach．I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me．” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites．

　　So it went．Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums．Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed．I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love．

　　There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however．Evelyn and I still laugh about it today．On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with saddest expression．

　　“What's the matter?” I asked her．

　　“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I don't?”

　　“What do you mean?”

　　“Well… that checkup I had several weeks ago… our doctor… did he tell you something about me? Tom, you've been so good to me… am I dying?”

　　It took a moment for it all to sink in．Then I burst out laughing．

　　“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms．“You're not dying; I'm just starting to live．”

　　I had to knock on the taxi to get his attention．Finally, the driver, a man about 60, looked up from behind the wheel and apologized, “I'm sorry, but I was reading a letter．” He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough．

　　Since I was in no hurry, I told him to finish his letter．He shook his head, explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart．Curious, I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a grandchild．“This isn't family,” he replied．“though he might just as well have been a regular member of the family．Old Ed and I grew up together．”

　　They were always friends．But since he moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago, it'd generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them．A couple of weeks ago, Ed died．“I should have kept in touch．” He repeated this, more to himself than to me．To comfort him, I said sometimes we just didn't seem to find the time．“But we used to find the time,” he said．“Take a look．” He handed the letter over to me．

　　The first sentence “I've been meaning to write for some time, but I've always delayed it．” reminded me of myself．It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together．When I read the part where it said “Your friendship really means a lot to me, more than I can say because I'm not good at saying things like that”, I found myself nodding in agreement．

　　We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph：“So I thought you'd like to know that I was thinking of you．” And it was ended with “Your Old Friend, Tom．”

　　“I thought your friend's name was Ed,” I said．

　　“I'm Tom,” he explained．“It's a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew he'd died．I never put it in the mailbox．I guess I should have written it sooner．” His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief．

　　When I got to my hotel room I didn't unpack right away．I had to write a letter and post it．

(1)

Who wrote the letter?
[　　]
A．	Tom．
B．	Old Ed．
C．	The author．
D．	The driver's grandchild．

(2)

It can be inferred from the passage that the driver regretted________．
[　　]
A．	missing Ed's funeral
B．	moving away from his neighborhood
C．	forgetting to send Ed Christmas cards
D．	not being able to keep in touch with Ed

(3)

[　　]
A．	often fails to write to his friends
B．	had no intention to write to his friends
C．	had many great moments with his friends
D．	was good at expressing feelings to his friends

(4)

What message does the passage probably try to convey？
[　　]
A．	Comfort your friends when they are feeling down．
B．	Life is unpredictable so live each day as if it were your last．
C．	Remember to always mail your letters after expressing your words．
