     (10·重庆A篇)

    One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.

    We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,

    “My I get you something ?”

    “A coffee would be nice.”

    Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,

    “How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”

    “Who?”

    “The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”

    I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!

    My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity.

    A. he thought the old man was poor

    58. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?

    A. Proud.         B. Pitiful.          C. Surprised.          D. Regretful

    “How was school, Ben?” I asked my grandson after he began kindergarten(幼儿园) this year. “The work is too long… and there’s not enough time to play,” he replied.
    I couldn’t help but remember Ben’s own mother, my daughter, Jane, and her reaction(反应) to the first day of school. Julie was also disappointed with the first day of school and so was her little sister. My three-year-old daughter announced angrily after her big sister got on the big yellow school bus, “I want to go ‘sool’ and you not let me!”
    When Julie returned home that afternoon, I asked her the same question that I asked Ben, “How was school, Julie?” Julie replied, “I didn’t learn to read today.”
    This year as the school bus passed my house, my mind went back to those school days again. I could almost smell the chalk dust in the air. I also wonder what the children these days manage to get chosen to do in order to get out of school for a few moments since there are no erasers to clean. It was fun to be “chosen” for eraser cleaning duty. This was a task finished by going outside and beating erasers together while sneezing and coughing. No wonder so many babies now have allergies(过敏症), and it’s simply because we all have chalk dust in our lungs!
    On the first day of school, the expectation was so great that I would be ready long before it was time to leave for school. We didn’t have backpacks because we had cigar boxes. We carried our small supplies inside a cigar box from one of the local stores. We saved the cigar boxes and used them from year to year until they fell apart.
    The first day of school was exciting. It was a new beginning. The doors of knowledge had been opened. The first day of school is an event in our lives that most of us remember. It’s a big step for a small child toward leaving babyhood and so “there isn’t enough time to play”.
    【小题1】Why did Jane become angry according to the passage?

    A．Because she didn’t learn to read on the first day of school.
    B．Because there was too much work for her to do at school.
    C．Because she had no time to play at school.
    D．Because she was not allowed to go to school.
    【小题2】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggests that       .
    A．the author was thinking of her school days jokingly
    B．the author warned students against the harm of chalk dust
    C．the author suffered from an allergy because of chalk dust
    D．the author doubted whether her lungs had chalk dust
    【小题3】In the opinion of the author, the first day of school is        .
    A．a day when a child is the happiest
    B．a day when a child does much work
    C．the beginning of great learning
    D．the end of childhood full of toys

    Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
    "Can we write him a letter?"
    She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
    My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
    "No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
    "Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
    She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped (缠绕) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
    "Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
    The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
    Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend (超越) this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditar. I prayed to be a balloon.

    A few days ago I asked my sons’ governess 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, hmm, 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 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 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 you 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...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 the weak in this world!”
    【小题1】While talking to Julia, the writer expected ____________ from her.

    A．protestB．gratitudeC．obedienceD．an explanation
    【小题2】What shocked the writer was Juila’s ____________.
    A．nervousness in front of her bossB．acceptance of injustice
    C．shyness when talking about moneyD．unwillingness to express herself

    A．to be more aggressiveB．to be more careful in her work
    C．to protect her own rightD．to live independently
    【小题4】At the end of the story, the writer said “How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!” to show __________.
    A．his understanding of Julia’s anxiety
    B．his worry about Julia’s future
    C．his concern on the living conditions of working-class people
