After forty-three years I have forgotten the name of the old lady, who was a 16 on the newspaper route in my hometown when I was a twelve-year-old boy. Yet it remains in my memory that she taught me a lesson in 17 that I shall never forget.
On a winter afternoon, my fellows and I were throwing stones onto the slanted (傾斜的) roof of the old lady’s house to observe how the stones 18 off the roof’s edge and shot out like missiles. I found a 19 smooth rock and threw it out, but it 20 straight not for the roof but for a small window of the old lady’s house. 21 the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble. We ran faster than any of our 22 flew off her roof.
I was so 23 about getting caught that first night 24 I was not concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. 25 , a few days later I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She 26 greeted me with a smile when I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act 27 in her presence.
I 28 my mind that I would save my newspaper delivery money, and in three weeks I had seven dollars. I put the money in an envelop with a 29 explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hope that the seven dollars would 30 the cost for repairing it.
I waited until it was 31 to avoid being seen, and put the letter I didn’t 32 into her yard. To my relief, I could have the 33 of, once again, looking straight into the old lady’s kind eyes.
The next day, I handed the old lady her newspaper. She thanked me and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself. 34 eating cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. After opening it, I was shocked. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note 35 , “I’m proud of you.”

In 1987, while serving as the public affairs officer at Fort Bragg, I would frequently visit the local high schools to speak to the students about the Army. As a lieutenant colonel(中校), I found it particularly rewarding to talk with the teenagers about the benefits of military service, if only for a few years of their lives.
During one of these visits, I reported to the secretary in the principal’s office to let her know that I was here for the third-period class. I was a little surprised when she told me. “The principal would like to see you before you go to the class.”
As I entered his office, I was greeted by a gentleman who appeared to be in his late thirties, and he welcomed me with a smile and a handshake. “You don’t remember me, do you?” he said.
I looked closely at the face again and could not recall where we may have met before.
“You were my company commander in basic training at Fort Jackson in 1970,” the principal said.
“Let me help you out,” he suggested. “You gave me a three-day pass to go home and see my newborn baby.” I immediately remembered the incident!
“Yes,” I said. “I remember now.” It was the only three-day pass I had issued because the soldiers were on their way to Vietnam immediately after they finished training. But I knew if I did not let him go home to see his son and something happened to him, I would regret denying the opportunity he had to be with his family.
“Come on, Colonel. I’d like to introduce you to ‘the baby’. He’s in your third-period class. By letting me go see him, you gave me a reason to stay focused and to come home safe from that war. Thank you , sir.”
It was the most rewarding class I had ever given, and I had no problem in telling the students about the bonds of friendship and the values that Army life can provide…and that can last a lifetime.
In the writer’s opinion, talking to teens about the Army is .
A. a forced task B. a pleasant thing
C. an unavoidable duty D. an embarrassing experience
Why did the principal want to see the writer?
A. He wanted to send his son to the Army.
B. He felt sorry for causing the writer trouble.
C. He was disappointed at the writer’s lecture.
D. He intended to express his thanks to the writer.
The underlined part in the text suggests that .
A. the son may die B. the son may become ill
C. the soldier may die in the war D. the soldier may be hurt in the training
What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. A soldier remembers. B. A principal thinks
C. A baby grows D. A lecture continues

Visitors from space may have landed on our planet from time to time, maybe hundreds of times during the long, empty ages while Man was still a dream of the far future. Indeed, they could have landed on 90% of the earth as recently as two or three hundreds years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and records from some certain places, one can find many reports of strange events that could be some explanations about visiting from outer space. A writer, Charles Fort, has made a collection of UFO sightings in his book Lo! One is tempted(引誘) to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one cannot take them too seriously, for before education on science was popular, even sightings of meteors(流星) and comets(彗星) made people believe the most unbelievable stories, as they still do today.
56.According to the passage, visitors from outer space may have landed on the earth .
A. long before man had dreamed of it B. long before there were human beings
C. in the last few hundred years D. after the space travel began

A. Charles Fort sighted a lot of UFOs himself. B. All sightings of UFOs are believable.

58.According to the passage, .
A. UFOs are only seen in recent years B. UFOs sightings are not new

They were going to Fort Lauderdale — three boys and three girls — and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of New York went behind them.
As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo. He sat in front of them, completely in silence.
Deep into the night, outside Washington, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson’s, and everybody got off except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.
“Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sleep.
In the morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies as the young people talked about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home.
“Are you married?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” she said.
“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, well, she could jus forget me. I’d understand. Get a new man, I said — she’s a wonderful woman. I told her she didn’t have to write me. And she didn’t. Not for three and a half years.”
“And you’re going home now, not knowing?”
“Yeah. Well, last week, when I was sure the parole (假釋) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick, just before Jacksonville, and there’s a big oak (橡樹) just as you come into town. I told her that if she didn’t have a new man and if she’d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I’d get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it — no handkerchief and I’d go on through.”
“Wow,” the girl exclaimed, “Wow.”
She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children.
Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face, as if protecting himself against still another disappointment.
Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, shouting and crying.
Vingo sat there astonished, looking at the oak. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs — 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, flying in the wind. As the young people shouted, Vingo slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.
1.At the beginning of the story, the young boys and girls ______.
A. showed a great interest in Vingo B. didn’t notice Vingo at all
C. wanted to offer help to Vingo D. didn’t like Vingo at all
2.The underlined part “Howard Johnson’s” is most probably a(n) ______.
A. bus station B. apartment C. hospital D. restaurant
3.How did Vingo feel on the way home?
A. Ashamed. B. Relaxed. C. Nervous. D. Disappointed.
4.The paragraphs following this passage would most probably talk about ______.
A. Vingo’s experience in prison
B. the young people’s travel to Fort Lauderdale
C. Vingo’s three lovely children
D. the dialogue between Vingo and his family
