    (1) Mr. Brown (the motorist)
         At about 9:20 p.m. on October 14th, I was driving along Market Road in the direction of Midwick.
    I wanted to go to Sturham to collect my wife, who had been visiting some friends. I prepared to turn into
    Sturham Road, which was on my right. In the distance, I saw the lights of a car moving towards me but it was along way from me. I put out my hand to show that I was going to turn right. Then I started to turn
    slowly towards Sturham Road. Suddenly there was a loud noise on the passenger's (near) side of the
    car. I stopped the car and got out. A motorcycle had hit my car. The motorcyclist had been thrown over
    the car. He was injured, so I ran to a shop to phone for help.
    (2)  Mt. Smith (the injured motorcyclist)
         On the evening of October 14th, I was going home along Market Road towards Newtown. I was
    riding my motorcycle. I was going slowly because some of the streetlights were out and road was wet
    and slippery. Just before Sturham road, a car suddenly drove right across my path. The driver did not
    flash his lights to give a warning. I could not turn in time, so I hit the side of the car. When I woke up, I
    was lying in a hospital in Market Road.
    (3) Mr. Lee (another motorcyclist) 
         At about 9:10 p.m. on October 14th, I left my home in Midwick. Ten minutes later I was riding my
    motorcycle along Market Road. I was going to Newton. There was a motorcycle about 40 meters in
    front of me. It was not going very quickly. The man on it was riding near the curb (路边) but I was near
    the center of the road. The motorcyclist in front of me tried to turn to his right but there was no time. He
    hit the car and was injured. There was no car going along in front of us o put by the road.
    1. Which of these pictures exactly shows the scene of the accident?
    X= the place where the motorcycle hit the car;   N=Newtown;M= Midwick;  S=Sturham
    (Note that cars and motorcycles always keep to the left in England.)

    The drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.
    “Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.
    Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.
    “I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.
    “Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.
    Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”
    “Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.
    Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.
    “He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.
    Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”
    The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.
    Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”
    In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.
    His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.
    This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.
    【小题1】Which of the following is true according to the passage?

    A．It was the first time Alfred had stolen anything.
    B．Alfred tried to sound big to hide his fear.
    C．Mr. Carr set a trap to catch Alfred stealing.
    D．Mr. Carr had planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning.
    【小题2】 What does the underlined word “disarmed” probably mean?
    A．annoyedB．made less angry
    C．convincedD．got over
    【小题3】What was the mother’s attitude toward Alfred?
    A．She felt disappointed with him.
    B．She was very strict with him.
    C．She was supportive of him.
    D．She was afraid of him.
    【小题4】What impressed Alfred most about his mother at the drugstore was ________.
    A．how angry she was
    B．that she didn’t cry
    C．that she was able to save him
    D．how effectively she handled Mr. Carr
    【小题5】 From the last paragraph, we know that Alfred ________.
    A．was no longer a youth
    B．felt proud of his mother
    C．wanted his mother to be happy
    D．felt guilty and regretful for his deed
