A small man with a fat stomach got on the train at the last station before the frontier (边境). He carried a paper bag. And four feet ducks could be seen under the cover. The man found an empty seat, put the bag in the middle of the floor, took out a newspaper and began to read. Then a policeman came in. Of course he saw the bag with ducks' legs at once and said, "Whose is that bag?" Nobody answered. The policeman repeated the question, and said, "I'll have to take it away from the owner. Food mustn't be taken out of the country." "Well, then," said the small man with a fat stomach. "Hurry up and take it. We want to go home." The policeman took the bag and went on to the next carriage.
At the next station, when they were safely across the frontier, the small man got up, smiled at the other passengers and said, "I hope they'll enjoy the ducks' feet. The rest of the bag had nothing but rubbish in it." Then he opened his coat and pointed to another bag he was carrying under it. It was tied tightly (紧紧地) over the stomach, which was not really fat. "I have the rest of the two ducks here," he said. With these words, he got off the train. But while he was happily walking to the exit with the bag in his hands, a policeman came up to him, saying, "Hey, man! Foreign food mustn't be brought in."

There are great doctors and perhaps it is enough to say that Dr Charles Mayo was one. 36 ,it is not enough for me.
Charles Mayo was not a 37 of mine in the sense that he would 38 by for dinner or remember my daughter’s graduation.We were not that 39 ,for he lived in Minnesota and I lived in California.He was a friend in the sense that he 40 more like a friend than a doctor when he was being a doctor.
I got very close to him just once.More 41 ,he got very close to me.I was flying my own plane to Washington and I felt a serious 42 in my back.It turned around, 43 for a clinic nearby and got in 44 with Dr Jan,my doctor.Jan at once said I had appendicitis (阑尾炎) and I told him he was the 45 doctor I had ever met.“I have no fever and any other symptoms of it.How can I 46 have appendicitis?”
“If you want to 47 better as quickly as possible,we’ll have Charles Mayo look at you.”It took Charles Mayo about thirty seconds to 48 to Jan’s request.
Charles was washing his hands when I was 49 into the operation room.I said,my
50 shaking,“You have done this before,haven’t you?”
“Of course,”he said.“Twice.”
Among all his interests he was craziest about being a doctor.He faced 51 often enough to know that while it is final in a sense,it is not 52 final at all.He enjoyed 53 too much not to know that it has a meaning beyond here and now.
54 he died on July 29,1968,at the age of seventy,following an accident,he lived on in the 55 of his books.I am glad he wrote them,giving people the feeling that we still have him.

It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I’m so glad I did.
On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背)in the distance.
On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn’t believe it—there aren’t any whale along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale actually as big as our boat was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡)and waves. “She’s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.
1.The author says “I’m so glad I did.”(in Para.2)because_______.
A.he witnessed the whole process of fishing
B.he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea
C.he experienced the rescue of the whales
D.he spent the weekend with his family
2.The harbour survived the storm owing to ______.
A.the shape of the harbor B.the arms of one bay
C.the still water in the channel D.the long coast line
3.The mother whale failed to help her baby because _______.
A.she had stayed in the polluted water for too long
B.the whirlpools she had made were not big enough
C.she had no other whales around to turn for help
D.the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction
4.What is the theme of the story?
A.Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.
B.Fishing provides excitement for children.
C.It’s necessary to live in harmony with animals.
D.It’s vital to protect the environment.

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. “How much is an ice cream sundae?” “Fifty cents,” replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it. “How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he required. Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient. “Thirty-five cents,” she said rudely. The little boy again counted the coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the bill and departed.
