                                                              My Best Enemy
         Once again, I was in a new school.So was a girl in my class named Lisa.That's where the similarity
    ended.
         I was tall and she was small.My thick black hair had been recently cut short into an untidy style.Her
    natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great.I was 12 and one of the oldest in the class while
    she was 11 and the youngest.I was awkward and shy.She wasn't.I couldn't standher, considering her my
    enemy.But she liked me and wanted to be friends with me.
          One day, she invited me over and I said yes-I was too shocked to answer any other way.My family
    had moved six times in six years, and I had never managed to develop any friendships.But this girl who
    wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school.
          She lived in a fun part of town that had two pizza places, an all night bookstore, a movie theater and
    a park.As we walked from the school bus stop through her neighborhood, I tried to guess which house
    might be hers.Was it the white one with the perfect lawn or the threestory house with a front porch?I got
    very surprised when she led me into an old apartment building.She lived on the fourth floor in a tworoom
    place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister.
          When we got into the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies, which was my next surprise.I had never played with them.We sat on the floor, laughing as we made up crazy stories
    about the Barbies.We found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and both had
    wild imaginations.We had a great time that afternoon.
          Lisa was loved by the whole neighborhood.The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines; the
    movie theater gave her free tickets...Soon I was included in her magic world.We slept over at each other's house and spent every free moment together.
         Lisa, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through the rough years of early adolescence (青春期) and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends:your worst enemy
    can turn out to be your best friend.

    1. The writer and Lisa were similar in the way that________.

    A. they were both new students
    B. they had the same hairstyle
    C. they were both tall
    D. they were of the same age

    2. One day Lisa invited the writer________.

    A. to go to the movie
    B. to go to her home
    C. to go to walk in a park
    D. to go to a pizza place

    3. In the passage the writer described Lisa as a girl who was________.

    My mansion

    　　Welcome to my mansion. Let me show you around. Oh, please leave your shoes by that marble door. Of course, my shoe servant will clean or polish them for you and have them ready when you leave.

    　　First, let's take the escalator down to the basement. The first door on our left leads to the bowling alley. It uses a computer system to keep score for you.

    　　Next, on the right, you'll notice the entrance to the indoor tennis courts. The blue surfaced court is a hard court, the green is carpeted, and the red one is clay.

    　　A basketball court? That's on the third floor. I'll show that to you later.

    　　This room over here, that's thirty tons of sand on the floor. No, it's not a big sandbox. You don't expect my cat to use a regular litter box, do you?

    　　At the end of the hall, let me open the door for you, you'll see the indoor swimming pool. It looks like a small lake. Cool, or what?

    　　Well, that's about it for this level, except for the arcade room, but that isn't quite finished yet. When it's done, there will be over 200 machines. Here, let's just take this elevator to the first floor.

    　　As we come out of the elevator, we can see the main kitchen. Naturally, it's staffed twenty-four hours a day. See that man over there? He's one of my hamburger chefs. No home should be without at least one hamburger chef. That woman over to the right, the one with the tomato sauce on her nose, she's the head pizza chef. I paid her big bucks to come here from Pizza Hut.

    　　Why don't we walk down to the far end of this hallway? I'll show you the television room. Yes, I know this looks more like a theater, but that screen is only 120 inches wide. The satellite and cable remote controls are built right into the arm rests of these reclining chairs.

    　　Hey, I've got to show you the computer room next. Then we can stop in the exercise room and…

    　　Oh, Mrs Plant, sorry, I guess I was daydreaming. My math? It's not done yet. I've got my name, my first name anyway, on the paper. My writing piece? Uh, is it OK if I write about the mansion I'm going to have someday?

    请简要回答下列各题

    1．Where does the narrator's mansion exist?

    2．Where is the narrator?

    3．Who is the narrator talking to?

    4．What would your dream house be like?

         My friend Robert started a new job this week and he's been in the training class for two days. The
    employer has a very strict dress code-dark blue shirts and pants.
         On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly
    told that he would be fired if he didn't have the right clothes the next day. He explained, "Sir, I had been
    told about this, but because of my larger size, it's sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price
    I can afford."
          Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn't lose the chance of work simply because
    he couldn't afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in
    case it was needed.
         When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. "You have 10
    minutes to be in proper clothes," he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have
    10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a
    shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.
         The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn't accept such a gift from a stranger.
    Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收据) and couldn't return them-a little white
    lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.
         "My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn't have enough to buy the
    clothes," he told Robert. "It's unbelievable to me that a person would do such a thing for only knowing
    me a day!"
         More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.

    1.  If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____.

    A. be punished
    B. be offered another job
    C. put off the training class
    D. lose his job

    2. The money which was paid for the clothes was _____.

    A. the trainer's
    B. the older man's
    C. the writer's
    D. Robert's

    3. How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?

    A. He told the older man that he would lose his job if he did not take them.
    B. He told a lie that the clothes didn't fit himself.
    C. He told the older man that he could save money and return it later.
    D. He told the older man that he had no way to send them back.

    4. What might be the best title for the passage?

    A. Proper clothes for a stranger
    B. Fight against strict rules
    C. A strange employer
    D. An unbelievable thing

         My brotherinlaw opened the drawer of my sister's cupboard and took out a package.He said, "This is
    a new silk slip (衬裙). Jane bought it in New York nine years ago.She never wore it.She was saving it for a special occasion.I guess this is the occasion."
         It was an exquisite (精美的) handmade silk slip.The price tag on it was still attached.
         He took the slip from me and put it on the bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician (殡仪员). His hands lingered on the soft material for a moment, and then he shut the drawer and turned
    to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion.Every day you're alive is a special occasion."
         His words have changed my mind.I'm spending more time with my family and less time on meetings.
    I'm trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them.I'm not saving anything.I wear my good skirt
    to the market if I feel like it.I can pay $28.49 for a small bag of groceries.I'm not saving my good perfume
    for special parties.If something is worth seeing, hearing or doing, I want to see, hear and do it now.
    "Someday"_has_disappeared in_my vocabulary.
         I'm not sure what Jane would have done if she had known she'd not be here for the tomorrow.I'm
    guessing Jane would have called family members and a few close friends.She might have apologized to
    her former friends for their past quarrels.She'd have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.
         I'm trying hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives.Every
    morning I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath is a gift.

    A. it makes sense to follow our dream
    B. we tend to leave good things until the last minute
    C. we should take pleasure in our work
    D. it is meaningless to save something for the future

         My father was Chief Engineer of a merchant ship,   which was sunk in World War Ⅱ. The book
    Night of the Uboats told the story.
         Memories
         In September,   1940,   my mother,   sister and I went to Swansea,   where my father's ship was
    getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep
    him safe.
         Then I remember my mother lying face down,   sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship
    had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷).
         I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报),   which in those days always brought bad news.
    My grandmother opened it. It read,   "Safe.Love Ted."
         My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father's knee,   his arm in a
    bandage.
         He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For
    as long as I can remember,   he had a weak heart.Mother said it was caused  by the torpedoes. He
    said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever,   he died suddenly in his early 50s.
         Ten years later I read Night of the Uboats and was able to complete the story.
        Torpedo
        One torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room,   where the third engineer was killed.
    He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.
         By the time he got on deck(甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had
    stuck fast. When he tried to cut it free,   it swung against the ship,   injuring his hand and arm.He had
    no choice but to jump-still with the photograph in his pocket.
         Three days later,   he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow.All 23 with him signed the back of
    the photograph.
         A Toast
         In my room is the book and the photograph. Often,   glass in hand,   I have wondered how I would
    have dealt with an explosion,   a sinking ship,   a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest(以
    免)we forget,   I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.

    C. failure to return to sea
    D. injury caused by a torpedo
