Jack Evans quarreled with his neighbour, Ellen Brown．Mrs．Brown had a dog．Jack did not like dogs．He wanted Mrs．Brown to give away or sell her dog, but she refused．

　　“I’ll take you to court if you don’t,”he said．

　　Mrs．Brown laughed at him．She was not worried．

　　Jack thought,“I must talk to a lawyer, but lawyers are expensive．I don’t want to waste my money．I will waste it if I don’t win my case against Mrs．Brown and her dog．”

　　Then Jack had an idea．There was a young lawyer in the town．He did not have much work．Not many people knew about him．“I’ll visit him,”Jack thought．“He needs work．”He visited the young lawyer in his office．“I need some advice,”he said．

　　“Certainly,”the young lawyer said．“What is your problem?I am here to help you．”

　　“Good．I want to take my neighbour to court．However, I will pay for your advice only if you think I will win the case in court．”

　　The lawyer was not pleased by this suggestion．However, he had very little work．Here was a chance to get some．

　　“All right,”he said．“I agree．I will listen to your problem．I will give you honest advice．You will pay me only if I think you can win in court．”

　　Jack told him about the problem．The lawyer listened carefully．Sometimes he made notes．When Jack finished, the lawyer sat back in his chair and said,“You will win your case．I have no doubt about it．May I take your case to court?”

　　Jack stood up and walked towards the door．“No, thank you,”he said．“I will not take it to court．”

　　“What about my fee?”the lawyer asked．“You have to keep your promise．”

　　“I am keeping my promise,”Jack said．“I will not win in court．You see, I did not tell you my case．I told you Mrs．Brown’s．”

(1)

[　　]

A．

his neighbour was not friendly

B．

he disliked her dog

C．

Mrs．Brown wanted to take him to court

D．

he was laughed at

(2)

Whom did Jack see for advice?

[　　]

A．

A lawyer．

B．

His neighbour．

C．

His friend．

D．

Mrs Brown．

(3)

Jack agreed to pay the lawyer if ________．

[　　]

A．

the lawyer helped him in court

Mrs．Brown couldn’t offer the money

C．

the dog was sold

D．

the lawyer said he would win his case

(4)

The lawyer would like to ________．

[　　]

A．

take Jack’s case

B．

give Jack’s neighbour some advice

C．

buy Mrs．Brown’s dog

D．

keep his own notes

答案：1．B;2．A;3．D;4．A;
解析：

(1)

搜尋前三段的內(nèi)容，C項內(nèi)容錯誤。文中l(wèi)aughed at him出現(xiàn)在Jack要take her to court之后，所以D項也不正確。A項沒有根據(jù)，所以只有B項正確。

(2)

文章多次提到lawyer，所以在通讀全文的基礎(chǔ)上選出A項并不難。

(3)

這一點是故事的伏筆，好在Jack與lawyer都明確地說過這樣的話，所以也很容易確定選項D為答案。

(4)

Jack說完自己的問題之后，從lawyer表態(tài)的三句話中可以確定選A項正確。

At the age of 11, Peter Lynch started caddying(當(dāng)球童) at Brae Burn Country Club in Newton, Mass. “It was better than a newspaper carrier, and much more profitable,” the Fidelity vice chairman recalls. He kept it up during the summers for almost a decade. “You get to know the course and can give the golf players advice about how to approach various holes,” he says. “Where else, at age 15 or 16, can you serve as a trusted adviser to high-powered people?”

One of those people was George Sullivan, then president of Fidelity’s funds, who was so impressed with Lynch’s smarts that he hired him in 1966. “There were about 75 applicants for 3 job openings,” Lynch says now. “But I was the only one who had caddied for the president for 10 years.”

In between caddying and managing money, Lynch went to Boston College on a scholarship from a program called the Francis Ouimet Fund. Named after the 1913 winner of the U.S. Open, the fund launched in 1949 which is open to Massachusetts kids only. Ouimet executive director Robert Donovan says, “Help with college is a logical extension of friendly relation between golfers and their favorite caddies, because there is a close tie to train up them to be excellent that happens between the players and the kids who carry their golf poles. And for the teens, caddying is all about being around successful role models.”

It is obvious that caddies who are finally successful include all kinds of outstanding personnel, from actor Bill Murray, to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, to former GE chairman and CEO Jack Welch.

Of course, the great number of financial giants who caddied in their youth might be coincidence, but Dick Connolly thinks not. “Caddying life teaches you a lot about business, and about life,” he says. “You learn to show up early and look people in the eye when you shake their hand, and you learn how to read people -- including who’s likely to cheat and who isn’t.” Connolly is a longtime investment advisor at Morgan Stanley’s Boston office, a former Ouimet scholarship student and, along with Peter Lynch and Roger Altman, one of the program’s biggest supporters. He wants to share the most important lesson he learned on the links, so he says: “One golfer I caddied for told me that if you want to succeed in any field -- golf or business -- you have to spend a lot of lonely hours, either practicing or working, when you’d rather be partying with your friends. That’s true, and it stuck with me.”

 1.Which of the following may Peter Lynch agree about caddying?

A. He could have a relaxing job as a caddie.

B. He could make more money from the golf players.　　

C. His duty was to advise the players how to play golf.

D. His caddying experiences contributed to his later career.

2.Why was the Francis Ouimet Fund set up to support Massachusetts kids only?

A. Because of the advice from the rich golf players.

B. Because of those giants with caddying experiences.

C. Because of the great success the caddies have achieved.

D. Because of the friendly relation between golfers and their caddies.

3.According to Dick Connolly, caddying experience in your youth_____.

A. helps you learn to live with loneliness

B. teaches you a lot about business and life

C. makes it possible to meet with great people

D. offers you chances to communicate with others

4.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

A. Legend of Peter Lynch.

B. An introduction of Golf Caddying.

C. Golf Caddying into Future Success.

D. Five Giants with Caddying Experiences.
