    I made a pledge(发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. 
    The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
    And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
    “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.
    After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew the kites.
    So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
    There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “What’s the matter?” I asked her.
    “Tom, ” she said in a voice filled with sadness, “do you know something I don’t?”
    “What do you mean?”
    “Well…..that checkup(体检) I had several weeks ago….. our doctor ….. did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me….. am I dying ?”
    It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
    “No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just start to live.”
    小题1:The writer thought he was a _______ husband in the past.
    A．lovelyB．loyalC．strictD．selfish
    小题2: From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _______.
    A．with his familyB．with EvelynC．aloneD．with his children
    小题3: The underlined words “one thing” in the text refer to the fact that _______.
    A．he praised her sweater, which puzzled her
    B．she insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated
    C．he knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her
    D．he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying

    小题1:D
    小题2:C
    小题3:D

    试题分析：收音机里一个关于爱的谈话节目使作者意识到了自己的自私，于是下决心在度假的两周里尝试着去做一个好丈夫。然而丈夫的“反常表现”却使妻子误以为丈夫表现出来的体贴周到是因为提前知道了自己的体检结果，认为自己肯定要不久于人世了。
    小题1:D细节理解题。根据文章第二段I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.可知作者认为自己是个自私的丈夫，故D选项正确。
    小题2:C推理判断题。由文中作者心里想的“Evelyn’s been alone here with kids all week’s been alone here with kids all week可知妻子Evelyn一周以来都是自己带着孩子们，而作者刚开车到家，由此推断作者是独自开车去海滨度假村的，所以答案选C。
    小题3:D细节理解题。根据下文作者的叙述可知对于作者一反常态的表现，妻子误以为肯定是自己的体检结果有问题，肯定是因为自己要活不长了，丈夫才对她这么体贴周到的，所以D选项正确。

    I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to       the problem. It certainly wasn’t       doing this with a white shirt and suit on.
    Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled       from behind me. A man got out and offered to         me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos(纹身)on his arm, I became        as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But       I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the       . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had        me. 
    Then, without       , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I        agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much        when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my      , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you      with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he       at the church and tutored disadvantaged students. 
    The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed the tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he     it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they       . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my     . He said, ‘‘I experience that same        often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I        thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a       . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’

    I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence(玩世不恭) was    to me. We liked each other the first instant we met.       , I was a straight A student and my parents had high hopes for me to     an Ivy League (常春藤联盟) school. Billy did not concentrate all his attention        his study and school life. However, we were in love --- so        teenager love. I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞会). It was understood that we had       about where we would dance and drink and party together.
    This meant one thing to my parents---panic. And it grew as the       letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to, nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University---the Ivy League     in 1770 in historic Providence, Rhode Island.
    There was no         that I was drawn to Brown, but Billy (who had joined the army) was      down south and I had offers      for me there, too. I was torn between my love for him and my family      .
    One week        the start of school, my mother had a talk with me. She said I was eighteen years old and I had a        to make--- one that went        beyond the choice of       to attend university.
    In August, I      and drove north to Providence. It took several months to     that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy’s. Brown changed my life, opening doors and giving me the       I now use to think, to learn and to write. Life is always about       it seems, and the older I get, the more I understand this. Still, there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.

    Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between the ticket office and us. This family made a big impression on me.
    There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns. It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.
    The tickets lady asked how many tickets the father wanted, he proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”
    The ticket lady told him the price.
    The man’s wife lowered her head. There was no longer a smile on the man’s face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”
    The ticket lady again told him the price.
    The man obviously didn’t have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?
    Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $20 note from his pocket and dropped in on the ground. (We were not rich ourselves at all!) He then tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, you dropped this.”
    The man understood my father was helping him. He picked up the money, looked straight into my dad’s eyes, and in tears replied. “Thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”

    I will be the first to say that I am not materialistic. My friends regard me as a goody-goody; my parents say I am conservative and modest when it comes to clothes. None of my skirts or shorts end above my knees.
    So why, why did I feel so invited? My family and I were in Target, and there it was, waiting. A skirt, specifically designed not to cover anything. It looked like something that one of those modern schoolgirls would wear.
    I checked my purse. The skirt cost $10. I had the money. I could buy it. I imagined walking into school and my friends’ jaws (下巴) dropping. Guys would ask me out, and I would be happy. I could buy it, no, — I should buy it.
    I showed my mother. She was surprised but said it was my decision. My sister looked on enviously.
    I went into the dressing room to try it on. So sure was I that this skirt would change me, somehow make me not what I am but what I wished to be. I slid my jeans off and put it on. I looked in the mirror. There I was — a terrible girl in a Superman T-shirt and sneakers. My glasses fogged up as I started to cry.
    The skirt did not change me. Though it fit well and might make me look good in the eyes of today’s world, it was not me. I am not a girl who wears cool clothes to fit in.
    I took the thing off and slid back into the ­comfort of modesty. My mom knocked on the door. “Emily, are you okay?”
    I wiped away my tears. “I’m fine.” I looked in the ­mirror again and saw a slim girl with funny ­glasses. I saw myself.
    小题1:In the author’s eyes the skirt that interested her was ______.
    A．not modernB．very short
    C．too expensiveD．poorly designed
    小题2:The author thought if she went to school in this skirt her schoolmates would be ______.
    A．shockedB．hurtC．confusedD．happier
    小题3:The underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph indicates the author ______.
    A．hesitated about buying the skirt
    B．made up her mind to buy the skirt
    C．was able to afford to buy the skirt
    D．worried about others’ opinion on the skirt
    小题4:The author cried because ______.
    A．she found that she looked ugly in the skirt
    B．she was aware the skirt didn’t fit her well
    C．she realized it’s a wrong decision to make a change
    D．she was disappointed the skirt failed to change her
