A beautiful woman took a plane on business. She found her seat and sat down next to a young man. The man was just thinking of making a few dollars on the plane. When he saw the woman, he got an idea.

“Hey! Would you like to play a game?” he asked the woman. “No, thank you. I just want to take a nap (打盹),” the woman answered.

“It’s really easy. All you have to do is to answer the questions that I ask you. If you don’t know the answer, you give me five dollars. If I don’t know the answer to your question, then I’ll give you five dollars.”

“No,” the woman still refused.

“OK. If I don’t know the answer to your question, I’ll give you five hundred dollars. How about that?” the man said. Then the woman became interested and decided to join in the game.

“OK. How many moons does Jupiter (木星) have?” asked the young man. The woman reached into her purse and took out a five-dollar bill.

“What goes up the mountain with three legs and comes back with four?” the woman asked. Then the young man took out his computer and searched the Internet for an answer. Minutes later, the young man handed five hundred dollars to the woman.

试题分析：一位漂亮的女士乘飞机出差，她旁边的男子想在飞机上赚一些钱。经过商量，男子和女士互相问问题，如果男子不知道问题的答案，他将不得不给女士500美元，而女士若回答不上来，她只需要给男子5美元。

1.The man was just thinking of making a few dollars on the plane.”可知，那个男子想赚一些钱，故选C。

2.The woman reached into her purse and took out a five-dollar bill...the young man handed five hundred dollars to the woman...The woman reached into her purse and handed the young man a five-dollar bill.”可知，那位女士一共给了男子10美元，男子给了女士500美元，女士最后得到了490美元，故选D。

3.So he asked the woman, “What is the answer to your question?” The woman reached into her purse and handed the young man a five-dollar bill.”可知，当男子问女士那个问题的答案是什么时，女士直接给了他5美元，说明她回答不上来男子的问题，也就是说，她自己也不知道问题的答案，故选D。

4.OK. If I don’t know the answer to your question, I’ll give you five hundred dollars.”可知，男子回答不上来问题的话，他必须给女士500美元，而女士不知道答案的话，她只需要给男子5美元。于是女士就想了一个自己也不知道答案的问题，她用10美元换来了500美元，说明她很聪明，故选A。

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

1.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?

A. Go shopping B. Take a vacation

C. Join his family D. Find a house

2.What does the underlined word“restored”in the last paragraph mean?

A. Showed B. Gave back

C. Delivered D. Sent out

3.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Turning Trash to Treasure. B. Living in a a New Country.

C. From India to Australia. D. In Search of New Friends.
