Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boy friend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn't want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn't believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.
I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn't believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boy friend.
By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating that I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I didn't.I put the power of friendship to the ultimate test. We'd been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.
A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boy friend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.
What word best sums up Jennie's boy friend?
A.A drug user.
B.A loser.
C.A trouble maker.
D.A criminal.

In the playground Bob showed me the watch. He put it on his wrist, and it looked love ly. I wished I had been the one to sit by the table. It was really a beautiful watch, gold by the look of it. The headmaster came outside then, and the doctor was with him. They walked about, looking around and talking all the time. After a while the bell rang, and we got into our lines, ready to go in.
The headmaster said, "I've got a little job for boys. This doctor, who was giving us a talk just now, has lost his watch in the playground. It happened before, he says- it just slips off his wrist. So look around for it, will you? See if you're clever enough to find it. I promise that the boy who does so will get a useful reward."
Of course, Bob was not going to miss a chance like that. He's just about the luckiest boy in the school rewards just drop into his hands. We all walked about the playground, looking here and there for the watch. And I wasn't at all surprised when Bob bent down as if he was picking something up. Then he hurried past me towards the doctor.
"Where are you going?" I called out, though I knew very well where he was going. The next minute there was Bob, all smiles, handing over the watch to the old doctor and hanging about for the reward.
But the doctor did not seem at all pleased. In fact he looked quite ready to thrust (插入) a knife in Bob's heart-until the headmaster burst out laughing. Bob told me later the old man hadn't even said "Thank you" for the watch.
The thing that puzzled us most of all was that Bob didn't get any reward. When he mentioned to the headmaster about k, the old man said, "Ah, yes, we mustn't forget that. I said ' a useful re ward' , didn't I?" Then he gave Bob a big sheet of paper and told him to write a composition on the harm of smoking. Bob says he hasn't got any idea of what to write.
While the doctor was talking about the harm to smoking, the two boys were______.
A.not thinking about anything
B.thinking about the harm of smoking
C.thinking about the watch and how to get it, perhaps
D.thinking that the headmaster was very clever

It was a little after two when the stranger came. Walt saw him stop by the shop. The stranger looked in for a minute. Then he went down to the boats. He was a big man in a coat.
Walt called to him, "Do you want something, sir?"
The stranger looked at Walt and said, "No, thanks." Then the stranger moved slowly away. As he went on, he looked at the boats one by one.

A young woman rode with her new husband in a wagon(四轮马车). They came to a log cabin(小棚屋). The mall shouted and a little boy came running out of the cabin. Sarah, the young woman, got down from the wagon, opened wide her arms and held the boy close.
"Hello, Abe Lincoln," she said. "I think we'll be good friends."
The new mother with the smiling face went to' work at once. She washed Abe and his sister and tidied(整理) their hair. And that night she threw away the boy's mattress(床垫) of leaves and gave him a soft mattress and enough blankets to keep him warm at night.
Sarah wove cloth and made new shirts for Abe. She made him new deerskin trousers and even deerskin shoes.
Maybe, if she hadn't come to the cabin, he wouldn't have lived to be a man. When Abe's father told him not to go to school any more and help on the farm, Sarah took Abe's part against his father. Abe would rather read than eat, and when his father told him to stop, Sarah said, "Let the boy read."
In 1830 the day came when Abe would leave home to work in New Salem. For the last time she had taken Abe's part against his father. For the last time she had kept the cabin quiet so that Abe could read.
More than twenty years later, when Abe, who had then become famous, was going to make a speech in a nearby town, Sarah went there just to watch him. In the crowd she tried to make herself small, but he saw her and, in front of everybody, got out of his carriage and went over and put his arms around her and kissed her. Yes, that was her Abe.
"He loved me truly," she said later.
Which of the following is not true?
A.The young woman in the wagon was Abe's new mother.
B.The man in the wagon was Abe's new father.
C.The little boy was the young woman's new son.
D.The little boy running out of the cabin was Abe.
On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived—the minister's family and all my relatives.Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence.
Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment.My relatives licked(舔)the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table.Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them.My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish.Robert made a face.Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. "Amy, your favorite, " he said, offering me the tender fish cheek.I wanted to disappear.
At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped(打嗝)loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking."It' s a police Chinese custom to show you are satisfied, "explained my father to our astonished guests.Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face.The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp.I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.
After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, "You want to be the shame as American girls on the outside. "She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt. "But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame. "
It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food.

B.I worried about our Chinese relatives lacking American manners
C.I worried about meeting the minister' s family
D.I worried about being laughed at

Henry is the【69】of strict parents who were totally opposed to war. He was never allowed toy soldiers【70】a boy, never allowed guns.
Henry grew up and went into the army, becoming a first-class soldier and【71】all sorts of military honors in a rather fierce unit. He became the opposite in【72】way of what his parents might have expected【73】their son. And yet there is a gentleness about Henry which shows a【74】personality. There is a sympathetic element about the man which I can see【75】have come from his family. In【76】of doing things differently from our parents, a lot of the spirit gets passed on.
Parents in all conscience have to【77】their children what they believe to be right. Perhaps the【78】way to teach one's child gentleness is【79】forbid toy guns, but to be gentle in one's【80】everyday life.
