My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.
One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.
The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, “The war is over!” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.
【小题1】What the grandfather was most worried about was           .

A.the spread of the world warB.the safety of his two cousins
C.a drop in his living standardsD.his relatives killing each other
【小题2】 The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “        “
A.order for army service B.train ticket for Europe
C.letter of rejection D.note of warning
【小题3】What did the “service pins” (in Para.2) stand for in the eyes of the little girls?
A.Strength.B.Courage.C.Victory.D.Honor.
【小题4】Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?
A.Disappointing.B.Unexpected.C.Uncertain.D.Inspiring.

In life, people come across many experiences, which they remember throughout their lives. I had a similar experience, too.
I was very excited. It was the day of my last paper of the final examination. My mind was full of thoughts of how I would spend my vacation. I was especially excited of the invitation that my uncle had given me to stay with him for a few days in Cambridge.
I was prepared for the subject, physics. My friends and I were on the ground doing the last minute revisions and also discussing the questions that were supposed to come in the paper. Suddenly the bell rang and we got into our classrooms. The teacher came and quickly handed out the answer paper and the question paper. The paper was of two hours and some of the expected questions came. I finished it almost forty-five minutes earlier. But since it was a rule not to collect the answer paper before the allotted(规定的)time. the teacher was not collecting and I had to sit till the time was over. I checked my paper twice and corrected some of the mistakes in it. I started thinking about the place my friends and I had planned to go after the paper.
Though I was thinking for a long time, the time seemed to be endless. So I thought of drawing something on the question paper and turned it overleaf. I was shocked to see that the page which I had supposed to be blank had four more questions on it which carried 20 marks and would take at least half an hour to complete. I had a quick glance at my watch. There were only 10 minutes left. I was so nervous that I was hardly in a state to write anything. They were the sub-questions(小题)of the last question. Suddenly our physics teacher came in and told all of us that in the last question, out of 6 sub-questions only 2 had to be solved. I felt very much relieved.
Thereafter I never made such mistakes again. But I realized that my anxiousness and excitement could have cost me to lose 20 marks and decided never to make such a mistake again.
【小题1】Which of the following statements is true?

A.The writer didn’t work hard at physics.
B.The writer lost 20 marks for the last question.
C.The writer made some mistakes during the exam.
D.The questions on the paper were difficult for the writer.
【小题2】The underlined word “relieved” means ________.
A.more nervousB.less afraidC.more surprisedD.less worried
【小题3】We can infer from the passage that _____________.
A.the writer did 2 sub-questions of the last question
B.the writer turned overleaf to do the sub-questions
C.the writer spent 45 minutes finishing the paper
D.the writer got full marks in the physics exam
【小题4】We can learn from the passage that we should _____________.
A.learn some exam skills
B.concentrate on what we are doing
C.try our best to do well in the exam
D.be careful not to make mistakes in the exam
