     Ray's wedding had gone off smoothly. Everyone seemed to have had a good time. A few people had
too good a time; they went home with designated (指派的) drivers. All evening, the gift table remained
unguarded. Who would steal anything, Ray thought. He had never heard of such a thing happening at a
wedding. But his best friend Aaron said there was a first time for everything. He strolled out regularly from the inside festivities (庆祝) to check on the gift table, making sure no one suspicious was hanging around
it. 
     Ray and Julia went on a 3-week honeymoon to Italy right after the wedding. When they got back, they opened all the gifts and sent out thank-you notes. But there was one problem. A married couple that used
to be good friends had apparently given nothing. This surprised Julia, because Walt and Mary said they were thrilled to be invited. And, they actually seemed to have had a great time at the wedding. Frankly, Ray
didn't even care if they hadn't given a gift. He just needed to know whether to send a thank-you note. Ray called Aaron. Aaron said maybe Walt had left an envelope on the gift table like Aaron had. "Yes, but we
got your envelope with the cash inside," Ray said.
   "Maybe my envelope looked too thin, and some thief thought Walt's envelope looked nice and fat."
    Aaron asked Ray if he had looked everywhere for Walt's gift. Had he called up the wedding site to see
if anything had been left behind? Ray said that he had looked everywhere and made a lot of calls that were fruitless.
     Ray didn't know what to do. If he sent Walt and Mary a thank-you note for a gift they hadn't given, they would be insulted. If he didn't send them a thank-you note for a gift they had given, they would get angry.
   "What would you do?" Ray asked. Aaron said he would call Walt up and tell him the problem.
   "You can't go wrong with simply being honest," Aaron said.
   "Oh, yes, you can," Ray contradicted(反驳)him. "Sometimes it's best to let sleeping dogs lie." But he
thought about it, and finally decided that Aaron was right. He called Walt and told him the problem. Walt
said that yes, he had given an envelope. In fact, the envelope contained $500 cash.
   "$500?!" Ray asked. "That's a lot of cash, Walt!" Walt admitted that it was, but he had gotten a fat raise(加薪) early that year and Ray's was the only wedding he'd been to in quite a while. Ray thanked him very much, and apologized sincerely for someone stealing Walt's generous gift. Walt told him that it was "only
money".
     When Ray told Aaron about Walt's gift, Aaron laughed. "The only thief at the wedding was Walt! I quit playing cards with him last year because I caught him cheating. And it was only a $10 pot! I'm sure I told
you about that."
     "Yes, you did tell me," Ray said. But, of course, he had to send Walt a thank-you note anyway.
1. Which of the following is true according to the passage? 
A. Nobody checked on the gift table all evening.   
B. Walt had surely gotten a fat raise early that year.
C. Stealing had never happened at a wedding.     
D. Aaron looked on honesty as the best policy.
2. The underlined word "insulted" in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.   

A. deeply impressed  
B. badly hurt
C. much discouraged    
D. greatly moved

3. What kind of person is Ray?   
A. Considerate and polite.

TS said that everyone has a changing circle of friends. However, no matter how frequently we renew our phone books, some names always remain. These names remind us of the good times we spent together with our friends. Though we may not see them every  day, they will always stay in our hearts.
Tom was often called "Big Head" at school because of his extraordinarily large head. He was one of my close friends at primary school. But since graduation, we have been studying in different cities and haven't seen each other for a long time.
Several days ago, I received an e-mail saying that my former classmates from primary school were holding a party to get together and chat about past memories. I was so excited because [ would get to see Tom again. What would he look like now? Would we still feel as close to each other as we had done back then? I was a little frightened about what I would find.
When I arrived at the party, I did manage to recognize Tom. However, he was much taller than he had been before. What's more, his head was no longer big.
"Hi, Buddy. Do you recognize me?" Tom walked towards me.
"Of course. How could I ever forget our ' Big Head' ," I said jokingly, "But where has your big head gone?"
"Haha, maybe it didn't keep up with the steps of time and stayed in the past," Tom patted his own head and answered with a laugh.
All my misgivings suddenly disappeared. I realized that time had changed us outwardly, but our friendship hadn't changed at all. I chatted happily with Tom about our shared experiences in primary school.
Then I looked around the small room and saw different faces, both familiar and unfamiliar, but none of them the faces of strangers. The whole party was filled with a warm atmosphere. Everyone was lost in the sweet memories of childhood. They forgot all their present-day stresses and pressures.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Come and get some pizza!" A call from a friend woke me up from my thoughts. I hurried towards the table. "Wait! That biggest piece is mine!"
