One day I was doing a big clean-up when I   36  a knotted handkerchief with an old dark brown coin inside. I took one look and immediately    37   an unforgettable time.
In 1991, I had spent five months in Niger, with sandstorms and great heat. Its    38   and beggars were my biggest and most constant complaint. Street beggars would continually reached out their hands, shouting “Gift! Gift!”
One day, I   39   for neighboring Burkina to work in a health clinic.Arriving by taxi at our destination in Burkina, we began to   40  . Out of the darkness, a motorbike with two men approached slowly. Without   41  , one of the men grabbed my daypack as the motorbike swept close by. Within seconds, the two were out of sight,   42   up by the night.
The bag had my passport, money, traveler’s cheques, camera, an airline ticket and other things   43   to me. I was in deep trouble.
In the weeks that followed, I   44  guarded the rest of my valuables and regarded all   45   with suspicion. All I wanted was to leave this place.
Then, walking through Burkina’s streets, I met with an old woman, “Gift! Gift!” she cried. I’d had enough. I was   46  of the country: its poverty, its thieves, the heat, and the dust, I told her angrily, “A thief stole all my money and now I can’t   47   out of your country. I cannot give you anything”.
The beggar woman listened attentively and   48   my words. Then she reached   49   the folds of her dress.
“Then I will give you a gift”, she announced. Kindly, she placed and old, dark brown coin in my hand. I looked at it in   50  . It was a very small amount of money – but for this woman, the coin   51   a meal. At that moment, I felt a shame. In spite of the   52  , she was able to give me something priceless.
I saw then the   53  beauty of the people of Burkina, and appreciated deeply the quiet   54   of the poor. With the old woman’s gift, I hope never to part with the coin she gave me. With one small coin, she   55   my concept completely.

One day I heard that one of my dear friends had lost his mother. This made me sad, for my friend was very close to his mother. He had been by her side as she traveled through her long and hard journey with cancer. At this time, many memories about my loved ones that had passed away came flooding to me. Finally these memories passed, but it was really sad to think that my friend would have to go through the pain.

All summer long I was always tricked by Miss Bee. No sooner had I memorized the soda’s location on the shelf than she rearranged the shelves and made me  43 it all over again. But by summer’s end the   44 trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes.

The morning I was to return to Brooklyn, I stepped in to get a bottle of water.

“What did you   45  this summer?” she said.

“That you’re so mean!” I whispered.

To my   46 , Miss Bee laughed. “When you get older, you’ll be glad our paths crossed!”

Glad I met Miss Bee ? No!

Until one day my daughter came to me with homework  47 . “It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish it for me?”

“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” Suddenly, I was   48  at that general store where Miss Bee had really taught me something all those years ago.

科目:高中英語 來源:2007年高考浙江卷英語試題 題型:閱讀理解

I began working in journalism(新聞工作) when I was eight.It was my mother’s idea.She wanted me to“make something”of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.

With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was suppertime,I walked back home.

“How many did you sell,my boy?”my mother asked.

“None.”

“Where did you go?”

“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”

“What did you do?”

“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”

“You just stood there?”

“Didn’t sell a single one.”

“My God,Russell!”

Uncle Allen put in,“Well,I’ve decided to take the Post.”I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分鎳幣).It was the first nickel I earned.

Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman.I would have to ring doorbells,address adults with self-confidence(自信),and persuade them by saying that no one,no matter how poor,could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.

One day,I told my mother I’d changed my mind.I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.

“If you think you can change your mind like this,”she replied,“you’ll become a good-for-nothing.”She insisted that,as soon as school was over,I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines.Whenever I said no,she would scold me.

My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother,dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life,determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that,forty years later,such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

1.Why did the boy start his job young?

A.He wanted to be famous in the future.

B.The job was quite easy for him.

C.His mother had high hopes for him.

D.The competition for the job was fierce.

2.From the dialogue between the boy and his mother,we learn that the mother was _______.

A.excited

B.interested

C.a(chǎn)shamed

D.disappointed

3.What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?

A.She forced him to continue.

B.She punished him.

C.She gave him some money.

D.She changed her plan.

4.What does the underlined phrase “this battle”(last paragraph) refer to?

A.The war between the boy’s parents.

B.The arguing between the boy and his mother.

C.The quarrel between the boy and his customers.

D.The fight between the boy and his father.

5.What is the text mainly about?

A.The early life of a journalist.

B.The early success of a journalist.

C.The happy childhood of the writer.

D.The important role of the writer in his family.
