Jean's father was a farm plane pilot in the little farming community in Northern California where she was raised, and Jean was totally _1_ by airplanes and flying. In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was a Mrs. Dorothy Slaton. Mrs. Slaton was a _2_, demanding teacher with high standards and a low _3_ for excuses. She refused to treat her students like _4_, instead expecting them to behave like the _5_ adults they would have to be to succeed in the real world after graduation. Jean was _6_ of her at first but grew to respect her firmness and fairness gradually. One day Mrs. Slaton gave the class a written _7_. "What do you think you'll be doing 10 years from now?" Jean's dream was to be a pilot like her father, but as the years went by, she had been beaten down by the _8_ and negative words she got whenever she talked about her career, so she unwillingly gave it up and wrote something else. Mrs. Slaton collected the papers and nothing more was said. Two weeks later, the teacher handed back the assignments, _9_ the students to face it down on the desk, and asked this question: "If you had enough finances and unlimited 10 , what would you do? Please write it on the 11 of your previous assignment paper." When the students stopped writing, the teacher asked, "How many of you wrote the same thing on 12 sides of the paper?" Not one hand went up. The next thing that Mrs. Slaton said changed the course of Jean's life. The teacher leaned forward 13 her desk and said, "I have a little secret for you all. You do have unlimited abilities and talents. You do have access to the finest schools, and you can arrange unlimited finances if you want something 14 enough. This is it! When you leave school, 15 you don't 16 your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have 17 you want if you want it enough." What her teacher said touched Jean so much! In the following years, she tried her best to realize her dream of becoming a pilot. Although it didn't happen 18 , she finally became one of the first three female pilot trainees ever 19 by United Airlines. Today, Jean Harper is a Boeing 737 captain for United. It was the power of one well-placed 20 word that gave that uncertain young girl the strength and faith to pursue her dream.

     I'd just got in a taxi at the railway station when suddenly I found one of my suitcases missing. Just then, I saw a young fellow about 30 walking away with it, opening it and drawing out the valuables. "Stop thief! Stop thief!" I shouted and threw open the car door and rushed out to him, followed by the driver and half
a dozen passers-by. Very soon the thief was cornered at the turn of the road. My driver caught the thief
by the neck and put his hand into his trouser pocket, drawing out money, credit card, telephone book
and so on and put them back into my suitcase.
     Half an hour later, the car was running at full speed on the express highway. I sat back and breathed a
long sigh of relief (松口气). But as I pulled out those stolen things from the suitcase and started to check
them, I became dumbfounded (惊呆了). Before my eyes were 200 yuan instead of 100. And a blood
test report of a 58-year-old woman appeared. I suddenly realized that the taxi driver must have mistaken
the thief's belongs and put his into my suitcase. The pitiful and begging look of the poor young man flashed across my mind again. My heart began to sink.
    Two years has passed since then. But this event keeps coming back to me. Was the young man a
habitual robber or a dutiful son who had been driven to desperation (铤而走险) to find money to save
his mother's life? My heart aches for him. How I wish I had gone back that summer afternoon to return
the 200 yuan and say sorry to him. For the first time in my life, I realized that hate and love are very close.

2. What was one of the reasons for the young man to steal in the writer's opinion?

A. The young man was a born thief.
B .The young man couldn't afford to pay for his old mother's medical treatment.
C. The young man's mother asked him to do so.
D. Young people are likely to steal when they are poor.

3. What does the writer really mean by "hate and love are very close"?

A. Sometimes you hate a person but soon the feeling completely changes.
B. People easily love and hate others.
C. Human beings are always a mixture of different feeling.
D. Don't always hate others.

4. The major purpose for the writer to write this passage is ______.

A. to describe what hate and love are like

He was a real artist of his trade and it took him only 19 minutes to open the most difficult safe he had ever encountered (遇见). In about 10 years, helped by his brother Stefan and two friends, he took about $330,000 -from the safes of 28 banks in Austria.

     Not to freedom, though. After crossing into Bavaria, Strait attracted the suspicion (怀疑) of German
customs (海关) police on purpose and got himself arrested. "I want to be in a German prison, "he
explained to the surprised police. "As German courts give much milder (温和的) sentences for crimes
(罪) like mine and will reduce the time I would otherwise have served in Stein Prison."
     In prison, Strait persuaded his keepers to let him make a Christmas Eve telephone call to his former
keeper, Karl Schreiner of Stein Prison. "I'm sorry if I caused trouble. I didn't want to embarrass(使尴尬) anybody by escaping. Conditions weren't that bad. In fact the food was better than it is here."

      A Scotsman and an Englishman lived next door to each other. The Scotsman owned a hen and each
morning he would look in his garden and pick up his hen's egg for breakfast. One morning he looked into
his garden and saw that the hen had laid an egg in the Englishman's garden.
      He was about to go next door when he saw the English-man pick up the egg. The Scotsman ran up
to the English-man and told him that the egg belonged to him because he owned the hen. The Englishman
disagreed because the egg was on his property (财产).
     They argued for a while until finally the Scotsman said, "In my family we normally settle disputes (争
议) by the following actions: We kick each other and we compare the time how long it takes us to get
back up. Whoever gets up quicker wins the egg."
     The Englishman agreed to this, so the Scotsman found his heaviest pair of boots (皮靴) and put them
on. He took a few steps back, then ran toward the Englishman and kicked as hard as he could in his
stomach.
     The Englishman fell to the floor, holding his stomach and howling (嚎叫) in pain for 10 minutes.
Eventually (最终) the English-man stood up and said, "Now it's my turn to kick you." At this time, the
Scotsman said, "oh, maybe you should just keep the egg."

1. What do we know about the hen?

A. It belonged to the two men equally.
B. It laid an egg every other day.
C. Its eggs were usually cooked by the Scotsman as breakfast.
D. It usually laid eggs in the Englishman's garden.

2. The underlined word "disputes" in Paragraph 3 means "_______".

A. arguments
B. wars
C. plans
D. Debts

3. What's the real purpose of the Scotsman's proposal (提议)?

A. He wanted to get his egg back from the Englishman.
B. He wanted to solve their dispute.
C. He wanted to teach the Englishman a lesson.
D. He wanted to find out who was the stronger of them.
