Once there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day before bass (巴斯鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.

The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm – two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.

“Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.

Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.

That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.

And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish … again and again … every time he has an ethical (伦理的，道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.

41．  What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?

A. The boy cooked the big fish.

B. The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.

C. The father lit a match in order to check the time.

D. They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done.

42．  From the text we know that the father _________.

A. didn’t love his son  B. always disagreed with his son

C. disliked the huge fish                             D. was firm and stubborn

43．  The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _________.

A. they might catch a big fish there             B. he was taught a moral lesson there

C. it was a most popular fishing spot   D. their children enjoyed fishing there

44．  What does the story imply?

A. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.

B. An ethical decision is always easy to make.

C. It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimes

D. Fishing can help one to make right decisions.

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.

　　“J. C.,” he replied.

　　She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.

　　Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.

　　A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.

　　The stage was set for Owens’ victory (胜利) at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic (体育的) but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.

　　“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”

　　Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.

　　Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.

　　“Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”

　　In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”

1．In the Big Ten meet, Owens _________.

A. hurt himself in the back                                B. succeeded in setting many records

C. tried every sports event but failed                   D. had to give up some events

2．We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because _________.

A. he was not of the right race (人种)

B. he was the son of a poor farmer

C. he didn’t shake hands with Hitler

D. he didn’t talk to the US president on the phone

3．When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,” he means that the medals _________.

A. have been changed for money to help him live on

B. have made him famous in the US

C. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life

D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs

4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. Jesse Owens, a Great American Athlete          B. Golden Moment — a Life-time Struggle

C. Making a Living as a Sportsman                    D. How to Be a Successful Athlete
