Durbeyfield sat down upon the grassy land by the roadside, putting his basket before him. In a few minutes, a youth from his village appeared in the distance. On seeing him, Durbeyfield held up his hand, and the boy quickened his steps and came near.
“Boy, take up that basket! I want you to do something for me.”
The skinny boy frowned ( 皱眉 ), “who are you then, John Durbeyfield, to order me about and call me ‘boy’? You know my name as well as I know yours!”
“Do you, do you? That’s the secret — That’s the secret! Now obey my orders, and Fred, I don’t mind telling you that the secret is that I’m one of a noble race ( 贵族 ) — it has been just found out by me this present afternoon.” And as he made the announcement, he luxuriously ( 奢侈地 ) lay himself upon the land among the flowers.
The boy stood before Durbeyfield, and looked at him from head to foot.
“Sir, John D’ Urberville — that’s who I am,” continued Durbeyfield. “Do you know such a place as Greenhill?”
“Yes. I have been there to Greenhill fair ( 集市 ).”
“Well, under the church of that city there lie my ancestors ( 祖先 ) — hundreds of them — in coats of jewellery. There is not a man here who’s got greater and nobler ancestors than I.”
“Oh?”
“Now take up that basket, and go on to the Pure Drop Inn, telling them to send a horse and carriage ( 马车 ) with a servant ( 仆人 ) here quickly, to carry me home. And when you’ve done that, go on to my house with the basket, and tell my wife to put away that washing, because she needn’t finish it, and wait till I come home, as I’ve news to tell her.”
As the boy stood in doubt, Durbeyfield put his hand into his pocket, and produced a shilling (a unit of money used in Britain until 1971).
“Here is for your work, son.”
This made a difference.
“Yes. Sir John. Thank you.”
The boy took up the basket, and set out at once.

One wet, rainy April afternoon Miss O’ Shay, the principal, sent for Nancy Lee to stop by her office as school closed. Pupils without umbrellas or raincoats crowded in doorways hoping to make it home between showers. Outside the skies were grey. Nancy Lee’s thoughts were suddenly grey, too.
She did not think she had done anything wrong, yet that tight ( 紧的 ) little knot came in her throat just the same as she came near Miss O’Shay’s door. Perhaps she had banged her locker too often and too hard. Perhaps the note in French she had written to Sallie halfway across the study hall just for fun had never got to Sallie but into Miss O’Shay’s hands instead.
She knocked on Miss O’Shay’s door. That familiarly solid and competent voice said, “Come in.”
Miss O’Shay had a way of making you feel welcome, even if you came to be punished.
“Sit down, Nancy Lee Johnson,” said Miss O’Shay. “I have something to tell you.” Nancy Lee sat down.“But I must ask you to promise not to tell anyone yet.”
“I won’t, Miss O’Shay,” Nancy Lee said, wondering what on earth the principal had to say to her.
“You are about to graduate,” Miss O’Shay said. “And we shall miss you. You have been an excellent student, Nancy, and you will not be without honors ( 荣誉 ) on the senior list, as I am sure you know. ”
At that point there was a light knock on the door. Miss O’Shay called out, “Come in,” and Miss Dietrich entered. “May I be part of this, too?” she asked, tall and smiling.
“Of course,” Miss O’Shay said. “I was just telling Nancy Lee what we thought of her. But I hadn’t got around to giving her the news. Perhaps, Miss Dietrich, you’d like to tell her yourself.”
Miss Dietrich was always direct. “Nancy Lee,” she said, “your picture has won the Artist Club scholarship.”
The brown girl’s eyes widened, her heart jumped, then her throat tightened again. She tried to smile, but instead tears came to her eyes.
“Dear Nancy Lee,” Miss O’Shay said, “we are so happy for you.” The elderly white woman took her hand and shook it warmly while Miss Dietrich smiled with pride.
Nancy Lee must have danced all the way home. She never remembered quite how she got there through the rain. She hoped she had been calm. But certainly she hadn’t stopped to tell anybody her secret on the way. Raindrops, smiles, and tears mingled on her brown face. She hoped her mother hadn’t yet got home and that the house was empty.
1 ． How did Nancy feel on her way to Miss O’Shay’s office?
A ． Scared. B ． Excited. C ． Uncertain. D ． Confident.
2 ． What can we infer from the passage about Nancy?
A ． She was Miss Dietrich’s best student. B ． She would never tell anyone her secret.
C ． She was often punished by the principal. D ． She would try to hide feelings at home.
3 ． Which is the best title for this story?
A ． A New Star. B ． The Girl. C ． A Young Artist. D ． The News.

A．What, How B．How, What C．What a, How D．What an, How

Each morning, I walked by a security guard ( 保安 ). He said hello to everyone that walked past him. 1 admired ( 佩服） how he knew so many people b 1 ． their first names.
The first few times I saw him, I didn’t say hello back to h 2 ． when he greeted me. I was lost in my o 3 ． world.
On Monday he asked ， “How was your w 4 ． ？ I told him about my visit to my sick, elderly mother. He shared how he too had lost a parent to illness.
As I w 5 ． away, I realized I did not even know his name. The f 6 ． day,I asked ， “What’s your name ？ ” He answered ， "Gary.” I said,“I’m Deborah.” After that, we t 7 ． a couple of times a week. We shared stories about our daily life, our dreams, and our families.
Gary got a job and m 8 ． away. It's been years since I last spoke to him, b 9 ． it seems like just yesterday we talked.
I look back at what became a friendship of sharing stories from the heart. When you say hello to a stranger,you become a pebble ( 鹅卵石） in the pool. With each ripple ( 连漪） you create, you spread l 10 ． that continues to give. Make a point of saying hello to a stranger today , you will give the gift that keeps on giving.
After leaving school for many years， a group of graduates （毕业生） visited their teacher． All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life．
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups﹣china （瓷）， plastic and glass． He told them to help themselves to the coffee．
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands， the teacher said， "If you noticed， all the nice﹣looking and expensive cups had been taken， but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind． Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves， that is the source （根源）of your problems and stress． In fact， the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee． it is just a tool to contain （容纳） what we drink．"
