A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer's hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery (火紅的) ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.    
The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. "It's getting late," she thought, "I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am."
She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.
It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on: it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... It all seemed deserted. She couldn't understand what was going on.    
She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said: "Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking." Ellen was her mother but－where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents' room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn't slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different－she wasn't in her mother's room and she wasn't wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas.     
It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, "Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared."
小題1:Three days later Jennifer came back home     .
A．a(chǎn)t sunriseB．a(chǎn)t sunsetC．a(chǎn)t nightD．a(chǎn)t midday
小題2: What does the underlined phrase "This thought" most probably mean?
A．The idea of going back home.
B．Her anxiety about her parents.
C．The feeling of being warm in her favorite sweater.
D．The feeling of getting back home safely.
小題3: Her father didn't take care of the garden because     .
A．he was busy looking for her
B．he had to look after his wife
C．he was not strict with his job
D．he no longer enjoyed working in the garden

Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts(賬，賬戶); they rely on depositors (儲戶) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.
小題1:A bank run happens when _______.
A．too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time　　
B．a(chǎn) bank is closed for one or more days
　		C．there is enough money to pay all its depositors at one time
D．tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank
小題2:The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________.
A．explain why they could not pay out all accounts
B．pay out accounts as requested
C．make the depositors believe that the bank was stand
D．pay out money as slowly as possible
小題3: According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected           mainly by the _______.
A．ease with which they could get their money
B．confidence that Mrs. Vaught showed
C．confidence shown by other depositors of the bank
D．failure of several other banks to open

As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.
Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didn’t stop at that crossing.”
“But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP’.” answered Mr. Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’, and I did go slow.”
The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched his head and said, “Well, I’m in the wrong street!”
小題1:
Mr. Williams was driving ________ one evening.
A．to a partyB．to his office

I made a pledge (發(fā)誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting (引用) a Biblical (圣經(jīng)的) passage about husbands being considerate towards their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all the week and now she wants to stay with me.” We walked on the beach when the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed, I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. Last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with sorrow, “do you know anything I don’t?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well…that checkup (體檢) I had several weeks ago…our doctor…Did he tell you anything about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me... Am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”
小題1:
From the story we may infer that Tom went to the beach cottage ________.
A．with his familyB．with EvelynC．a(chǎn)loneD．with his children
小題2:
During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ________.
A．she looked lovely in her new clothes
B．he had made a lot of money in Wall Street
C．he was determined to be a good husband
D．she was seriously ill
小題3:
The underlined words “one thing” in the passage refer to the fact that ________.
A．he praised her sweater, which puzzled her
B．she insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated
C．he knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her
D．he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying
小題4:
By saying “I’m just starting to live”, Tom means that ________.
A．he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of work
B．he is just beginning to enjoy his life as a loving husband
C．he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change
D．he is beginning to feel sorry for what he did to his wife
