Harry came in a minute after James. There was a letter for him, too, which he opened at once. It was from the secretary (秘書) of a company, offering him a post (職位) in their office. He was told to be there at 10 a. m. the next morning, as there were others who wanted the job.
James got back from the play at midnight. He was sleepy. “That letter can be opened in the morning,” he thought. The next morning when he woke up, he at once jumped out of bed, tore(撕)it open-his face fell. It was a similar letter to the one Harry had received the night before. But James’ chance was gone. It was five to ten, and he could never be at the office in time.
小題1:One evening James came in in a great hurry because       .
A．he knew there was a letter on the hall table
B．he had to tell someone to keep his letter until he got back
C．he was afraid he would be late for the play

A．he knew there was something wrong with his face
B．he felt very sorry for missing the chance
C．he fell down on his face
D．he realized that he had lost his face

小題1:C
小題2:D

試題分析：短文大意：杰姆斯和哈里來到倫敦同住在一個(gè)旅館。一天晚上杰姆斯匆匆回來，看見桌子上有一封信，害怕看劇遲到就沒看。杰姆斯從劇院回來已是午夜第二天早上，當(dāng)他醒來時(shí)，他立刻從床上跳起來，把信撕開，頓時(shí)他的臉色變了。這是一份類似哈利前一天晚上收到的信，但杰姆斯錯過了求職的機(jī)會。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段前兩句James came in in a great hurry one evening。A friend had offered him a ticket for a play可知選C。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第四句The next morning when he woke up, he at once jumped out of bed, tore(撕)it open可知選D。
小題3:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章最后It was a similar letter to the one Harry had received the night before. But James’ chance was gone. It was five to ten, and he could never be at the office in time.可推知劃線句旳意思是他為錯過機(jī)會而感到后悔，所以選A。

Several years ago, a television reporter was interviewing three of the most important people from local businesses. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
　　The reporter was talking to them about being important.
　　“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.
　　The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President is really important.”
　　The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.
　　The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President said he was too busy to answer it.”
　　The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”
　　“No, I don’t.” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
　　“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
　　“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘it’s for you.’”
