“This one’s for you,” Sergeant (警官) Barstow shouted and left quickly through the back door. I was a little puzzled. I looked out a window of the Ashfordly Police Station and saw an elderly woman come into the building.
“Good morning, Madam,” I said.
“Good morning,” she said pleasantly. “You’re new, aren’t you?”
“Yes, Madam.”
“It’s about that man who’s been annoying me,” she said. “I’ve been here about him before.”
“Could I have your name and address, please?”  
“Miss Fraser. Josephine Fraser. I live at 43 Prince Terrace. Now, can you please do something about Jackson?”
“What’s he done, Miss Fraser?”
“Done? He’s thrown garbage all over my stairs again. He must be stopped.”
“Where does he live?”
“Next door, Number 41,” she said.  
“I’ll go and see later and warn him off, Miss Fraser.”
“I would be most grateful.” With that she left.
Half an hour later, I reached Prince Terrace. NO. 41 was in a bad state of repair. I knocked. No reply. I entered. The place was deserted. I wondered if the Jackson was a tramp (流浪者). Anyway, it seemed he had left, possibly because of Miss Fraser’s threatening police action. I decided to visit her.
I knocked on her door and it was opened almost immediately. “Ah!” she said gladly. “You’re just in time for coffee.” I followed her inside. Miss Fraser told me more about her battle with Jackson. But when I asked specific questions, it clearly showed that she had never seen Jackson. Finally, I managed to leave.
Sergeant Barstow smiled kindly as I returned. “Nick, did you kick(踢出) Jackson out of that house?”
“Jackson!” I cried. “Who is he?”
“There is no Jackson,” he said. “Miss Fraser is lonely and she likes company. We always let the new young men deal with Miss Fraser. It gives her deep satisfaction. That’s what we are here for, isn’t it — to satisfy the public?”
小題1:Why did Sergeant Barstow leave quickly when Miss Fraser came?
A．Because he wanted to let Nick deal with her alone.
B．Because he had to go and catch Jackson at once.
C．Because he was tired of the elderly woman.
D．Because he knew she would tell a lie.
小題2:Miss Fraser told Nick that _____.
A．her neighbor had often caused her trouble
B．it was her first visit to the police station
C．she was looking for Sergeant Barstow
D．someone had broken into her house
小題3:Miss Fraser made up the story of Jackson because _____.
A．she liked to play jokes on the policemen
B．she wanted to have someone to talk with
C．she loved to show others her nice coffee
D．she hated Jackson very much

The drug store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop-assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr, the boss, stared at him and said: “Hold on, Alfred. Maybe you'd be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go.”Alfred's face got red. After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I'm going to have to put you in prison.”
Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. “Hello, I'm Alfred's mother. Is he in trouble?”she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfred's mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty…. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying. “Of course”, he said, “I don't want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads.”And he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins's hand.
Back home, without even looking at Alfred, she said, “You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mother's strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what he saw. His mother's face was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. He watched his mother without making a sound. The picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth coming to an end. He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.
小題1:The reason why Mr. Carr felt guilty was that ________.
A．he found Alfred was in fact innocent
B．he should have called a policeman in first
C．Alfred's mother appeared polite and gentle
D．he thought he was partly responsible for it
小題2:Which of the following is probably said by Mrs. Higgins while talking to Mr. Carr?
A．“Please, for God's sake, you know, he is just a kid.”
B．“I can't believe it! You are treating my son like that!”
C．“You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow up.”
D．“Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law.”
小題3:What does the underlined phrase "his mother's strength"(Para. 3) refer to?
A．Mrs. Higgins's calmness and communicating skills.
B．Mrs. Higgins's attitude towards parental sufferings.
C．Mrs. Higgins's love and care for her son Alfred.
D．Mrs. Higgins's greatness as a woman.
小題4:After the incident, young Alfred would probably ________.
A．feel ashamed of her mother
B．change his attitudes towards life
C．learn to live an independent life
D．hate Mr. Carr for hurting her mother
