The next day I decided to go back to the  38 , curious if the little girl would still be there. Right in the very  39  as she was yesterday, she sat with the  40  look in her eyes.  41  I began walking towards her, I could see the back of the little girl’s dress indicated a disability.

I sat down beside her and  44 with a simple “hello”.
The little girl was  45  and replied a “hi” in a low voice. I asked the girl why she was so sad. The little girl looked at me and said, “Because I’m  46. ” I immediately said, “That you are!”and smiled. The little girl acted  47 sadder, and she said, “I know.”
“Little girl,” I said, “you  48 me of a sweet angel.” She looked at me and smiled. Slowly she stood to her  49 , and said, “Really?”

She continued to say, “Because you think of someone other than (而不是) yourself, my job here is done.” Immediately, I also 53 to my feet and said, “Wait, so why did 54 stop to help an angel?” She looked at me and smiled, “You’re the only one who could see me, and you  55  an angel in your heart.”

LONDON - A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake(假冒的) bomb detectors(探測器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn't cared about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $77.8 million from the sales of his detectors - which were based on a kind of golf ball finder - to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick, 57, was convicted(判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
"Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people," Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. "you have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt."
The detectors, sold for up to $42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they "lacked any grounding in science" and were of no use.
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
"I never had any had results from customers," he said.
小題1:Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?
A．He sold bombs.B．He caused death of people.
C．He made detectors.D．He cheated in business.
小題2: According to the judge, what McCormick had done _______.
A．increased the cost of safeguarding
B．lowered people's guard against danger
C．changed people's idea of social security
D．caused innocent people to commit crimes
小題3:Which of the following is true of the detectors?
A．They have not been sold to Africa.
B．They have caused many serious problems.
C．They can find dangerous objects in water.
D．They don't function on the basis of science.
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick _______.
A．sold the equipment at a low price
B．was well-known in most countries
C．did not think he had committed the crime
D．had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
小題1: Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?
A．He was out of work B．He was bored with his job
C．He wanted a higher positionD．He hoped to find a better boss
小題2:What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?
A．A friend’s car had a flat tyreB．a(chǎn) wild man was pushing a car
C．a(chǎn) terrible accident happened D．a(chǎn)n old man’s car broke down
小題3:Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?
A．He was also to be interviewed B．He needed a traveling companion
C．He always helped people in needD．He was thankful to Jimmy
小題4:How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question?
A．He was sorry for the other applicants
B．There was no hope for him to get the job
C．He regretted helping the old man
D．The interviewer was very rude
小題5:What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience？
A．Where there is a will, there’s a way
B．A friend in need is a friend indeed
C．Good is rewarded with good.
D．Two heads are better than one

When I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts(童子軍)，so I used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.
We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving, we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded by cliffs (懸崖).If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.
Several days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.
We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them.  But no one moved towards the river, we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.
An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep(悄悄移動)down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.
When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.
Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.
小題1:The writer in the text mainly tells us _________.
A．the story of his childhoodB．a(chǎn) strange camping experience
C．a(chǎn)bout a stranger by the riverD．a(chǎn)bout a good place for camping
小題2:Why did the boys eat their supper slowly?
A．They wanted to delay going to the river bank.
B．They were waiting for their scoutmaster.
C．They had a supper earlier than usual.
D．They were talking while eating.
小題3:The underlined word “bewildered” in the text probably means _________.
A．a(chǎn)shamedB．nervous
C．unable to understandD．eager to know something
小題4:When he heard what had happened, the scoutmaster __________.
A．realized who the man was
B．started to worry about the man
C．went back to look for the can
D．felt it hard to believe the boys
小題5:The writer still remembers the event because________.

“Well, what did I say？Buck’s a real fighter, all right,” said Francois the next morning when he discovered that Spitz had disappeared and that Buck was covered in blood．
“Spitz fought like a wolf,” said Perrault, as he looked at the bites all over Buck．
“And Buck fought like ten wolves,” answered Francois. “And we'll travel faster now. No more Spitz，no more trouble.”
Francois started to harness the dogs. He needed a new lead-dog, and decided that Solleks was the best dog that he had. But Buck jumped at Solleks and took his place．
“Look at Buck！” said Francois，laughing. “He's killed Spitz，and now he wants to be lead-dog．Go away, Buck！”
He pulled Buck away and tried to harness Solleks again．Solleks was unhappy too. He was frightened of Buck, and when Francois turned his back，Buck took Solleks’ place again. Now Francois was angry．
“I'll show you! ” he cried，and went to get a heavy club from the sledge．
Buck remembered the man in the red coat，and moved away. This time，when Solleks was harnessed as lead-dog，Buck did not try to move in．He kept a few meters away and circled around Francois carefully. But when Francois called him to his old place in front of Dave, Buck refused．He had won his fight with Spitz and he wanted to be lead－dog．
For an hour the two men tried to harness him．Buck did not run away，but he did not let them catch him．Finally，F(xiàn)rancois sat down，and Perrault looked at his watch．It was getting late. The two men looked at one another and smiled. Francois walked up to Solleks，took off his harness， led him back and harnessed him in his old place．Then he called Buck. All the other dogs were harnessed and the only empty place was now the one at the front. But Buck did not move．
“Put down the club,” said Perrault．
Francois dropped the club, and immediately Buck came up to the front of the team．Francois harnessed him, and in a minute the sledge was moving．
Buck was an excellent leader. He moved and thought quickly and led the other dogs well. A new leader made no difference to Dave and Solleks; they continued to pull hard．But the other dogs had had an easy life when Spitz was leading．They were surprised when Buck made them work hard and punished them for their mistakes. Pike，the second dog，was usually lazy；but by the end of the first day he was pulling harder than he had ever pulled in his life. The first night in camp Buck fought Joe，another difficult dog，and after that there were no more problems with him．The team started to pull together，and to move faster and faster．
“I've never seen a dog like Buck!” cried Francois, “Never! He's worth a thousand dollars. What do you think, Perrault? ”
Perrault agreed．They were moving quickly，and covering more ground every day. The snow was good and hard，and no new snow fell．The temperature dropped to 45°C below zero, and didn't change．
This time there was more ice on the Thirty Mile River, and they crossed in a day．Some days they ran a hundred kilometers，or even more. They reached Skagway in fourteen days; the fastest time ever．
