I realized that I was getting cold, and felt it was probably time to go back to the apartment, so I put my collar up against the wind and began to walk back up the cold street. I managed to get some food from a vendor(小贩), and walked on.
About twenty-five minutes later I knew that something was wrong. It was getting very, very cold, there were no streetlights, and the hill I was hoping to see on my right was nowhere in sight. There was almost no light except for mysterious red crosses shining from the tops of churches, and I was beginning to get worried. To cut a long story short, I had walked the wrong way from a crossroads, and had wandered miles in the wrong direction. My head was aching from the cold, and I couldn’t think straight. Turing around, I started back, and a long time later was outside the house I had set off from. It was at about that time I realized that I had a gate key but no house key. How happy I was when I found that the front door was open—my only piece of good luck that day. My apartment was of course locked, my head felt like it was about to explode, and my hands and feet were freezing.
I tried turning the handle. No luck. I tried another key from England. I wanted to avoid waking the family downstairs, so despite the fear of an early death from cold, I couldn’t break the door down. What would my hosts think? I pulled an ATM card from my pocket and forced it alongside the inside of the lock. I didn’t think it would work, but after fifteen minutes of trying, I heard a click. Another couple of minutes later the door was open. Relieved, I took off my clothes in the dark and got into bed.

My name is Amy. I’m a 25-year-old graduate student who likes yoga, home-decorating shows and eating spoonfuls of peanut butter 1 from the jar. Oh yeah, and I’m an iPhone addict.

Eventually I couldn’t 7 my iPhone instinct (本能) any longer, and I welcomed my new iPhone into my life.
To my surprise, I suddenly found myself with a whole new circle of friends. They 8 my iPhone-related inquiries when my other friends couldn’t, and didn’t 9 when I bragged about (吹嘘) all the things little Eloise (yes, I named her) could do.

When I 10 the past few months, I couldn’t believe I didn’t see this coming. All the 11 signs were there. Eloise slept right beside me and was the first thing I 12 in the morning. I 13 my e-mail about 20 times a day. I also experienced 14 when I left poor Eloise in the change room at the gym. 15 she beeped and needed my response?
Okay, so I was addicted to my iPhone.
I decided 16 had to be done. But, as I quickly realized, iPhones are like 17 and not easy to quit.
Then, while taking the bus to work one day, I was 18 forced to quit—at least 19 . When I reached into my purse to grab Eloise, (to refer to my e-mail for only the seventh time that morning), I found her 20 by fever. She was so hot that I dropped her immediately back into my bag. When I picked her up again, she was gone.

For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed very busy with business,and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough,he rode out a great deal.
During this time,all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house,when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me,because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.
One evening,several days later,I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair,and looked not quite so severe,and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright,probably with wine. As I was looking at him,he suddenly turned, and asked me,“Do you think I am handsome,Miss Eyre? ”
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: “No,sir.” “Ah,you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.” “Sir,I'm sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn't matter,or something like that,” “No,you shouldn't! I see,you criticize my appearance,and then you stab (刺) me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance (抵消) your few good points.”
I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind,and said quickly,“Yes,you're right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one,and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man,take my word for it,but I have done wrong. It wasn't my character,but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you're sympathetic and give them hope.”
It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn't seem to like to finish the talk quickly,as was the case for the first time.
“Don't be afraid of me, Miss. Eyre,”he continued. “You don't relax or laugh very much,perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me,and laugh, and speak freely. You're like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you'll fly very high. Good night.”
1.At the beginning Miss Eyre's impressions of Mr. Rochester were all except_________.
A.busy B.sociable C.dull D.changeable
2.The underlined sentence means___________.
A.Only by meeting him around the house sometimes did I know a little about him.
B.Only by coming to the house could I know about him.
C.I occasionally met him but my knowledge about him was poor.
D.What I knew about him was limited in the house.
3.From what Mr. Rochester told Miss Eyre,we can conclude that he wanted to ___________.
A.tell her all his troubles
B.tell her his life experience
C.blame her for misunderstanding him
D.change his circumstances
4.At the end of the passage,Mr. Rochester sounded __________.
A.rude B.cold C.polite D.encouraging
5.According to the passage,which of the following statements is WRONG?
A.Miss Eyre was atLowoodSchoolbefore she came to Mr. Rochester’s house.
B.Miss Eyre didn’t see Mr. Rochester often.
C.Miss Eyre was honest,brave and confident.
D.Miss Eyre was brave,polite and warm-hearted.

I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer last surnmen The training
I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people's lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket,because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence,which encouraged her to continue her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarketelt. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son,Tony, a shy first grader with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.
