D
He looks like somebody important! I remember thinking about a middle-aged man standing at a checkout counter. Something set him apart. Even the boy bagging groceries seemed to sense it. He sped up than usual as he glanced with respect at the man.
Trying to find out what was different about him, I found that he looked quite ordinary. Although he gave the impression of being tall, I could see he was actually a little shorter than average. His appearance wasn’t particularly outstanding, and he was wearing plain weekend sports attire ( 运动休闲装 ). Not until the man was leaving did it strike me. He carried himself as if he were somebody worth caring about. Head up and chest out, he walked proudly from the market. I watched the other shoppers as they looked down over their baskets. And me? In the glass of the store’s side doors, I saw reflected ( 映现 ) a worn-out housewife who looked as if she’d carried too many bags of groceries.
Suddenly, the words I’d heard my mother repeat hundreds of times as I was growing up held new meaning. “Stand up straight ! Lift yourself by pretending strings are pulling you from the tops of your ears.” I thought of myself being pulled up . I felt taller as I came nearer to the market’s doors. This time I saw reflected a woman who looked as if she knew where she was going! But as I rushed home in five o’clock traffic and tried to fix dinner before a seven o’clock meeting, my good manners disappeared. It wasn’t until the next day as I was trying on clothes in a department store that I remembered again. Each thing I put on seemed wrong. Suddenly I recalled the man in the supermarket. I lifted myself up. The dress looked nicer on me. I liked the dress! Sure enough, I looked five to seven pounds lighter. Dieting titles I’d read came to mind, such as “How to Lose Pounds in Weeks?” Now I had a new title: “How to Look Thinner in Seconds.”
68.The boy bagging groceries glanced with respect at the man because    ____   .
A.the man gave him some tips for his service
B.the man walked in a strange way in the supermarket
C.his manners was different from the other people in the supermarket
D.the man was a special person for him 
69.The writer looked five to seven pounds lighter because _________   .
A.she was having a diet

C.she was taking exercise

  Last week, I bought an alarm system(报警系统)for about $ 450.It consisted of a control unit with three other small units.I put the control unit in the sitting room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows.The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 491, the last three numbers of our telephone number.

  Now I must explain how the alarm works:

  1.There is a power siren(警报器)in the control unit.It makes a very loud noise.

  2.Each of the small units sends out rays in different directions.If anything moves, it breaks a beam.This sends a signal to the control unit.The siren makes a noise that you can hear 50 meters away.

  3.When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1.Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alarm starts to work.

  That might I slept soundly because I was sure that no burglar(夜贼)could get into our house.However, at about 2:10a.m., I woke up and heard the siren(警报).

  “There must be a burglar in the house,” Mary said.“What shall we do?”

  “I’ll go and see who’s there,” I said.“Stay here.Don’t make a noise.”

  I went downstairs quietly.When I reached the living room, I switched on my torch and looked round the room.Then I turned the light on.I switched the siren off and searched the rooms downstairs.There was nothing wrong except that the back door was unlocked.I locked it, re-set the alarm and went back to bed.

  About an hour later, the alarm started again.I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in the dark and bumped into the bedroom door.Mary woke up and started hitting me with a torch.“Hey! Wait a minute!” I whispered.“It’s only me.I’ m going downstairs to see what’s wrong.”

  I went down into the living room and listened for a moment.The only sound I could hear was the siren.I turned on the light and then switched the siren off.As I did so, I glanced across at the curtains in front of the windows.I saw a house lizard(蜥蜴)disappear behind the curtains.

  “Oh!” I said to myself.“That’s our burglar.”

  When the lizard moved, it started the siren.I guessed that the alarm had been made in Europe, where there are no house lizards.

  Well, I won’t finish this story but if you want an alarm system free of charge, let me know.I’ll send you ours.We bought a dog this morning.It knows the difference between a lizard and a burglar.

Honesty comes in many forms.First there's self-honesty.Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I'm not,I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account).I love how singer Judy Garland put it,“Always be a first-class version(版本)of yourself,instead of a second-class version of somebody else.”

Then there's honesty in our actions.Are you honest at school,with your parents,and with your boss? If you've ever been dishonest,I think we all have,try being honest,and notice how whole it makes you feel.Remember,you can't to wrong and feel right.This story by Jeff is a good example of that:

In my second year of study,there were three kids in my math class who didn't do well.I was really good at it.I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass.I'd write on a little piece of paper all the right answers,and hand them off.

At first I felt like I was making money,kind of a nice job.I wasn't thinking about how it could hurt all of us.After a while I realized I shouldn't do that anymore,because I wasn't really helping them.They weren't learning anything,and it would only get harder down the road.Cheating certainly wasn't helping me.

It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests,lying to their parents,and stealing at work.But,remember,every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄)into your PBA and will build strength.

1.The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means “_________”.

A.to be honest                                               B.to be unreal

C.to become clear                                                 D.to come from an imagined world

2.Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words?

A.Be your true self rather than follow others.

B.Don't copy others or you can't be the first class.

C.Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.

D.Don't learn from others unless they're excellent.

3.What does the author expect to show by Jeff's story?

A.Honesty can be of great help.

B.A bad thing can be turned into a good one.

C.Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.

D.One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.

4.In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express _________.

A.one must be brave to be honest

B.it's difficult to be honest when others are not

C.one should be honest when making a deposit

D.honesty in one’s actions can help him in the future
