先阅读短文,然后根据短文内容从文后每小题的四个选项中,选出一个能完成所给句子或回答所提问题的正确答案。

  John Russell, aged 83, got on a Chicago bus and saw a sign saying that senior citizens(老年公民) could ride for half the cost. When he dropped his three quarters into the box, the driver asked him for identification(身份证明). John took out an ID card. “You need a special CTA card,” said the driver. John did not have the CTA card because he lives in New York and was in Chicago visiting his two sons.

  “Put in another three quarters,” said the driver, “or get off the bus.” John said, “Give me back my quarters, and I'll get off.” “I can't-it's in the box. If you don't get off, I'll call the police,” said he, which he did.

  Two police cars drove over and stopped. “I'm the criminal(罪犯),” said John Russell. Then he and the driver told their stories.

  “That's what you called me for?” one policeman asked the driver. Another policeman then said to John, “I'll give you three quarters.” John shook his head, “Why should you give me the quarters? He has to give me my quarters.”

  “Where are you going?” asked the policemen. “Downtown to have lunch with friends,” John said. “Come on,” the policemen said. “We'll get you your card.” So they took him downtown to the CTA office. But the people there wouldn't give him a CTA card-he needed a picture. “What about his quarters?” one policeman asked. The officials discussed, and the decision was made to give John's quarters back.

  When John got downstairs, the policemen asked where he was going. “To see my friends,” John said. “How are you going to get there?” “On the bus. And all I'm going to pay is 75 cents.” “Good luck,” the policemen said.

  John got on a bus, dropped three quarters in the box, and said, “I'm a senior citizen…” The driver looked at John and nodded. He didn't know how lucky he was to be a sensible(通情达理的) man.

先阅读短文,然后根据短文内容从文后每小题的四个选项中,选出一个能完成所给句子或回答所提问题的正确答案。

  Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you decide to do your homework right after school, you may want to have something to eat before getting to work. Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don't wait until very late in the evening, or the work will seem much harder than it really is.

  Break your time into periods that you can control. If you have more than an hour's work, give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand don't break it up so much that you can't get anything done. You should be able to work at least half an hour at a time without stopping.

  Don't put it off until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework, you will have it on your mind, and you won't enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until right before a test, you will have too much catching up to do for you really to learn. A little bit each night, enough to keep up with what is happening each day at school, will take the fear(忧虑) out of tests and keep you on top of it all.

  Do your homework at the same time every day. This will help you make it a habit-part of your daily work. It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well.

1.In the first paragraph(段落), the writer tells us to do our homework ________.

[  ]

A.at a right time
B.at any time
C.in a short time
D.as early as possible

2.If you need two hours to do your homework, you'd better ________.

[  ]

A.finish it without a stop

B.have a break in the middle

C.rest at least four times

D.break your time as much as possible

3.Which of the following can be the idea of paragraph 3?

[  ]

A.Never too old to learn.

B.He who will not work shall not eat.

C.Where there's a will, there's a way.

D.Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

4.In the fourth paragraph the underlined word “habit” means “________”.

A.诀窍
B.规则
C.习惯
D.概念

5.Which of the following is right according to the passage?

[  ]

A.Eat enough before you do your homework.

B.Always do your homework in the evening.

C.Work no more than 30 minutes at a time.

D.Finish your work before enjoying your free time.
