One day, Wilson was walking quietly along the road when someone hit him hard on the back of his neck.He looked behind him, and saw a young man whom he had never seen before.    
“How dare you hit me like that?” shouted Wilson.    
The young man said he had mistaken Wilson for a friend of his and that he thought Wilson was making a lot of noise about nothing.    
This insult (侮辱) made Wilson even angrier, of course, and he at once decided to bring the young man before a judge.    
Now, the judge, who heard the case, was a friend of the young man’s father’s, and, although he pretended to be quite fair, he was thinking about what he could do to protect the young man from being punished while at the same time not to be appearing unfair.   
Finally he said to Wilson, “I understand your feelings in this matter very well.Would you be satisfied if I let you hit the young man as he hit you?”    
Wilson said he would not be.The young man had insulted him and should be properly punished.    
“Well, then,” said the judge to the young man, “I order you to pay ten coins to Wilson.”    
Ten coins was very little for such a crime, but the young man did not have it with him, so the judge allowed him to go and get it.    
Wilson waited for him to return with the money.He waited an hour, and then two hours, while the judge took care of other business.    
When it was nearly time for the court to close, Wilson chose a moment when the judge was especially busy, came up quietly and hit him hard on the back of the neck.Then he said to him, “I am sorry, but I can’t wait any longer.When the young man comes back, tell him that I have passed my right to the ten coins on to you.”

Sarah Williams went to a boarding school.  Here is one of the
letters she wrote to her parents from the school.
Wentworth Girls' School
Beachside
July 20th
Dearest Mom and Dad,
I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started last night when I was smoking in bed.  This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away.
Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire.
There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning.
The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.
The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I’m very sorry about this.
Much love,
Sarah
P. S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been!
小题1:Why did Sarah write home?
A.To tell her parents about the fire.

When Han Duan started her professional career at 16, China’s national women’s football team was defeated in the final of the World Cup by the US. While she was asked to play in her first World Cup in 2003, she largely remained on the bench after the first match.
But things have changed. Now, Han is one of the most important players in China’s team. “I can’t wait to play. Life is short. You must make the most out of it,” Han always says like that. 
Han wants every possible honor that a football player can get — an Asian Cup, a World Cup and an Olympic medal. She has always been good at sports, especially swimming and horizontal bars. At school, she was the fastest in the 60m and 100m.
But the reason she picked football was that she wanted to get more compliments (称赞). “Football is for boys. But I feel more fulfilled when I can do better than them and win more compliments,” she said. Later, when she entered a football school, the coach always asked Han to show others what to do.
However, nobody can be good at everything. Han described her singing as “howling” and the only school subject she was good at was Chinese. “I was very happy every time my essay was posted on the wall for my schoolmates to read.” But Han still has some regrets about her school years. Her handwriting was terrible at school. She ever wanted to improve her handwriting but didn’t achieve much.
“My fans ask for my signature (签名), so I’d better practice and practice. It’s not too late,” she says.
小题1:In the World Cup in 2003, Han Duan was a(n) ______.
A.member of the audienceB.unimportant player
C.team captainD.fan of a sports star
小题2:What does the underlined part in the second paragraph imply?
A.Han Duan seizes every chance to learn more to fulfill herself.
B.Han Duan never wastes any of her practicing time.
C.Han Duan seizes every chance to take part in matches.
D.Han Duan has become ill and she will die quite soon.
小题3:According to the passage, we know that Han Duan ________.
A.has won an Asian Cup, a World Cup and an Olympic medal
B.was good at sports when she was at school
C.did very well in singing and Chinese when she was at school
D.often gets compliments because of her beautiful handwriting

A.felt sad as the boys laughed at her
B.felt proud as she got compliments from others
C.felt sad as she was too strong as a girl
