    I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员) at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before  Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable(有价值的) in the wallet, the   owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter   and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”. At  once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash(现金). He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward(酬劳) for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
    Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the   owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my    mind that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.

Them people also learned to make a fire by rubbing. They made a hole on a big piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again.

    When I wandered along a path through woods in the countryside, a small water pool came into my sight ahead. I changed my direction and took the part of the path that wasn’t covered by water or mud to go around it. When I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked by something several times! It was from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt. The attacker stopped attacking me when I backed up a foot. I couldn’t help laughing when I looked down and found I was being attacked by a butterfly!  
    Curiously, I took a step forward to see clearly. My attacker dashed towards me again. He rushed towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but failed. For a second time, I took a stop backwards when the attacker paused. I didn’t know what to do. After all, it’s just uncommon that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered why the attacker was kept charging me. He had a mate and she was dying.
    Sitting tenderly close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could do nothing but admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had attacked me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was much larger than he. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. I shouldn’t have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mates’ safety seemed admirable. I was moved and rewarded him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool, leaving them undisturbed. He had truly earned those moments to be with his dear mate.
    Since then, I’ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.
    小题1:Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?
    A．To get close to a butterfly.
    B．To avoid getting his shoes dirty.
    C．To escape a sudden attack.
    D．To look over the bad situation.
    小题2:What made the man feel funny?
    A．Making the attacker pause.
    B．Being stepped on by his mate.
    C．Being attacked by a butterfly.
    D．Discovering the energetic butterfly.
    小题3:From this experience the man learned _____.
    A．people should protect butterflies
    B．how he should deal with attacks
    C．people should show sympathy to the weak
    D．what he should do when faced with trouble
    小题4:Which of the following word can best describe the butterfly?
    A．BraveB．Amusing.C．Careless.D．Strong.

    Once when I was six years old I saw an amazing picture in a book called True Stories from Nature about the primeval（原始的）forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor(大蟒蛇) in the act of swallowing an animal. In the book it said：“Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole without chewing（嚼）it. After that they are not able to move and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion（消化）.”
    I thought deeply then over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. I showed my work to the grown-ups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered：“Frighten? Why should anyone be frightened by a hat？”
    My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing. I drew the inside of the boa constrictor so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. That's my Drawing Number Two.
    The grown-ups' response this time was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of ba constrictors whether from the inside or the outside and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and grammar. That is why at the age of six I gave up what might have been a great painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
    So then I chose another profession（职业） and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.
    In the course of this life I have had lots of chances to meet with a great many people. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them. Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried showing him my Drawing Number One which I have always kept. I would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding. But whoever it was, he or she would always say: That is a hat. Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors or primeval forests or stars. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge and golf and politics and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such an intelligent man.
    小题1:The writer drew his first picture in order to ________.
    A．show the grown-ups what the book was about
    B．frighten the grown-ups trying to enter the forest
    C．remind himself of the adventures of the jungle
    D．illustrate（说明）a boa constrictor's act of digesting an animal
    小题2:How did the writer understand the grown-ups' response to his second drawing?
    A．He was actually only good at academic study.
    B．It was a waste of time for him to keep on drawing.
    C．He had difficulty in communicating with the adults.
    D．He was good at anything but geography.
    小题3:The underlined word disheartened in Paragraph 4 could most probably be replaced by ________.
    A．discouragedB．dissatisfiedC．discoveredD．disturbed
    小题4:Which of the following statements is true?
    A．The writer could have become a pilot if encouraged when young.
    B．The writer finally changed his opinion of grown-ups.
    C．The writer has been showing his two pictures to others ever since.
    D．The writer felt nobody could have really understood him.

    Two men dressed as police officers stole about ＄200 million worth of art from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum early this morning.
    The two burglars knocked on a side door of the museum at about 1:15 am. They told the two security guards on duty that there was a disturbance in the area. The guards then made the very serious mistake of allowing the two men to go into the building. After they went in, the two burglars tied the guards up with tape.
    The two men stole 11 paintings and an ancient Chinese vase. The stolen works included three paintings by Rembrandt. A maintenance（保卫）worker discovered the two guards at about 7 am and called police.
    One of the greatest losses was Rembrandt’s works, “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee.” It was a very popular attraction at the museum and was one of the most valuable works stolen.
    Museum officials said that the value of the stolen art is at least 200 million dollars, and may in fact be much more. The true value of the paintings is unknown, because they have not been on the market for nearly a century. This is considered to be the biggest theft ever in the United States. Officials are waiting to see whether the burglars will demand a ransom for the paintings or try to sell them to a private collector.
    Museum officials and police are not sure why the burglars chose certain works and not others. There are other paintings in the museum that are even more valuable than the ones that were stolen.
    Special investigators are looking into the theft and the museum’s security system. They believe that this is a “professional job,” because the people involved were well prepared and knew what they wanted.
    小题1:How did the two burglars get into the museum?
    A．They broke into the museum.
    B．They had the key to the museum.
    C．They tied the guards up with tape.
    D．The security guards opened the door for them.
    小题2:According to the passage, “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee” was the following except that           .
    A．it was the most valuable work at the museum
    B．it was Rembrandt’s works
    C．it was very attractive to visitors
    D．it was one of the greatest losses
    小题3:Which of the following best explains “demand a ransom for the paintings”?
    A．Ask for money to give the paintings back.
    B．Send the paintings to some foreign country.
    C．Hide the paintings in a secret place.
    D．Change them into more valuable things
    小题4:The investigators believe that this is a “professional job” because the burglars        .
    A．were dressed as police officers
    B．didn’t steal the most valuable works
    C．liked Rembrandt’s work and made careful plans about the theft
    D．made careful plans about the theft
