I had been rather proud of myself when my friends and family got the ticket,whether it was for speeding,parking or stop sign violations (违反).It was something that happened to others. But last Friday I joined the club.
I was asked to do a new project last week. On Friday morning on my way to work,I suddenly remembered that I had spent the past six weeks without considering that I had a week’s vacation planned during that time. I was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it. The fact is that I was not paying enough attention to my driving and I did not come to a complete stop at the stop sign in front of a school. I was so distracted (思想不集中的)that I didn’t even notice I had a policeman on my tail with his lights flashing. Finally I looked in my mirror and caught on.
The policeman was rude and took my papers. Fortunately,I had everything up to date and since I had never had a ticket before,there was nothing for him to do but write me a ticket. While I was sitting there in the seat of “shame”,I felt bad. If I had been that distracted and a child had run onto the road,perhaps I would have not reacted as well as I could have. It was a wake-up call.
People at work asked me if I tried to talk my way out of it. Frankly,it never occurred to me. I felt guilty. Now I no longer have a clean driving record. Please be careful out there,as a moment’s distraction can lead to tragedy.
1.What is this passage mainly about?
A.The writer’s most unforgettable experience.
B.How the writer got her first ticket.
C.An accident caused by the writer.
D.Why the writer is always so careful.
2.We can infer that the underlined part “the club” in Paragraph 1 here refers to ________.
A.people who are crazy about driving cars
B.a club for drivers without much experience
C.people who get tickets for breaking traffic rules
D.a club for people to talk about their driving stories
3.What made the writer unable to focus on her driving?
A.Planning how to spend the vacation.
B.Thinking of the forgotten vacation.
C.Thinking about her work.
D.Missing her children.
4.From the experience,the writer has probably learnt ________.
A.what is really important to her
B.how to deal with policemen
C.to enjoy the small things in life
D.to be much more careful

My Best Enemy
Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Lisa. That’s where the similarities ended.
I was tall and she was small. My thick black hair had been recently cut short into an untidy style. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was 12 and one of the oldest in the class while she was 11 and the youngest. I was awkward and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t stand her, considering her my enemy. But she liked me and wanted to be friends.
One day, she invited me over and I said yes—I was too shocked to answer any other way. My family had moved six times in six years, and I had never managed to develop any friendships. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school.
She lived in a fun part of town that had two pizza places, an all-night bookstore, a movie theater and a park. As we walked from the school bus stop through her neighborhood, I tried to guess which house might be hers. Was it the white one with the perfect lawn or the three-story house with a front porch? I got very surprised when she led me into an old apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother,her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister.
When we got into the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Babies, which was my next surprise. I had never played with them. We sat on the floor,laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Babies. We found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older and both had wild imaginations. We had a great day that afternoon.
Lisa was loved by the whole neighborhood. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines; the movie theater gave her free tickets… Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other’s houses and spent every free moment together.
Lisa, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through the rough year of early adolescence(青春期) and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: that your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.
【小题1】The writer and Lisa were similar in the way that_____.
A.they were of the same age | B.they had the same hair styles |
C.they were both tall | D.they were both new students |
A.to go to her home | B.to go to the movie |
C.to go to a park | D.to go to a pizza place |
A.awkward and shy | B.rich and happy |
C.friendly and lovely | D.quiet and lonely |
A.How to make up stories. | B.How to deal with enemies. |
C.How to live a better life. | D.How to make friends. |

I never thought I would have a life?changing experience at Wal?Mart.
Although my thoughts were only on speed,the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted,and I glanced toward the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies,wearing glasses and a nice smile.I thought,well,he’s an old guy!
For the next few minutes I watched him.He greeted every customer before scanning the items.Sure,his words were the usual,“How’s it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people.Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
I thought it was odd.I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit.After a while,you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back.I could say,“I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply,“Have a great day!”
But that wasn’t the end.
He gave them the change,walked around the counter,and extended his right hand in an act of friendship.He looked the customers in the eyes.“I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them.“You have a great day.Bye?bye.”
The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless.There were smiles and some sheepish grins.All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected.They would gather their things and walk out,smiling.
Of course,he did the same to me and I got to know his name,Marty.
Who was that guy?It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.
I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.
