         One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's
     mistakes.It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about 
    that," and it is even harder to say,"I was wrong,and you were right about that."
         I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake
     fifteen years ago.He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the 
    neighborhood where I grew up,and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons(箱子).
    Then he related an incident and I began to remember clearly the incident he was describing.?
         I was about eight years old at the time,and I had gone into the store with my mother to
     do the weekly grocery shopping.On that particular day,I must have found my way to dairy
     food department where the incident took place.
         There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive
     display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons.The cartons were stacked (堆放)three
     or four feet high.I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks.Just
     then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons.
    For some reason,I decided it was up to me to put the display back together,so I went 
    to work.?
         The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened.When 
    he appeared,I was on my knees examining some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs 
    were broken,but to him it looked as though I was the criminal.He severely scolded me 
    and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs.I protested my innocence and tried to explain,
    but it did no good.Even though I quickly forget all about the incident,obviously the
     manager did not.?

    1.The author was __________ when he wrote this article.______
    A.about 23
    B.about 15?
    C.about 8
    D.about 18?
    2.When the manager scolded him the author _______.?
    A.was frightened and cried?
    B.did not say anything 
    C.felt the manager was right?
    D.tried to explain the incident?
    3.It can be inferred that the author _______.
    A.expects the woman to say sorry to him for the mistake she made
    B.has forgiven the manager for what he did to him fifteen years ago
    C.would like to tell people never to be fooled by an egg sale
    D.regrets arguing with the manager for what he didn't do

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

    I felt encouraged by his words and began to swim more calmly.But my clothes stuck to me like a heavy weight.I could hardly stay above the surface.

    Counsel saw this.“Shall I cut them?”he asked.

    With a knife he cut my clothes from top to bottom and took them of quickly while I swam for both of us.

    Then I did the same for Counsel,and we continued to swim near each other.

     But we were in serious trouble.The crew（船员）might not have noticed our disappearance.

    And if they had,they could not return because the rudder（舵）had broken.Counsel thought of all this,and calmly made his plans.We decided to wait for the ship as long as possible,because we had no other hope of safety.I suggested that we save our strength so that both of us would not be tired out at the same time.This was how we did it:While one of us lay on his back,quite still,with arms crossed and legs stretched out（伸直）,the other would swim and push him along.We changed every ten minutes or so.In this way we could swim for hours,perhaps till daylight.The crash（破裂声）of the ship and the whale（鲸）had appeared at about eleven o’clock.We had about eight hours to swim before daylight.This seemed possible,if the sea remained calm.

    What happened to the man who told the story?

    A.He and his companion got into the water to test their strength.

    B.He jumped into the water to save the broken rudder.

    C.He was knocked into the water by his enemy.

    D.He was thrown into the sea when the ship struck a whale.

    第三部分阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    A

    This week in our Foreign Student Series，we talk about getting an American education online．A student named Hendra has written to us from Indonesia asking about a good online university．Finding the right online program requires research．Talking to advisers and recruiters（招募者）can help．Keep in mind，though，that they might have a financial interest to direct you to certain programs．

    The Council on Higher Education Accreditation（CHEA）recognizes a group in Washington，D．C．，to accredit（授权）schools that offer distance learning．One hundred and ten programs in the United States and six other countries are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council．

    We asked the executive director，Michael Lambert，for advice on choosing a distance learning program．He says the first thing is to go on the CHEA Web site to find if a school is accredited．The address is c-h-e-a dot o-r-g．Next，make sure the school offers what you need．Do you need a degree，or will a certificate or license be enough?

    Another consideration is cost．Often the published price does not include all the costs --like books．Technology requirements can also add to the costs．Will you need to get new software or a high-speed Internet connection or even a new computer to take the classes you want?

    Also，consider the level of interaction that an online program offers．You might never meet the teacher or other students in person．

    Finally，and this is our own advice，find out what others say on the Internet for comments or news stories about schools that interest you．Just remember that what people say is not always fair or true．

    56．This passage is probably from ________．

    A．a magazine          B．a newspaper    

    C．a text book       D．a radio program

    57．This passage is mainly about ________．

    A．how to get an American education online

    B．what to learn in an American university

    C．the introductions to schools offering distance learning

    D．the advantages of online education

    58．What else should be taken into consideration about cost besides the published price?

    A．The cost for books and technology requirements．

    B．The cost for books and a new computer．

    C．The cost for new software and a high-speed Internet connection．

    D．The cost for technology requirements and even a classroom．

    59．How can you find the information about schools accredited to offer distance learning easily?

    A．Ask the members of CHEA．        B．Go on the website of chea.org．

    C．Ask Michael Lambert for help．      D．Talk to advisers and recruiters．

    60 According to Michael Lambert，________．

    A．to get a certificate or a license is much easier than to get a degree

    B．it’s not fair for the schools to charge extra money beside the published price

    C．the level of interaction that an online program offers is quite considerable

    D．people’s comments about schools are always unbelievable
