Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you're a thin 14-year-old.That was me in 1940-the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City's Pennsyl-vania Railway Station.
After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I'd like to join them, thinking, "Everyone else is doing it."
When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do." You give an honest day's work," he said, looking at me straight in the eye."  They're paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that."
I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.
Of all the jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone.
Whether you're on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can't trust one another, there's going to be trouble. 
小題1:What can be inferred about the baggage boys? 
A．They could earn much, but they had to work hard.
B．Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.
C．They were all from poor families.
D．They were all thin, young boys.
小題2:What does the father's advice imply?
A．It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers.
B．Don't believe them if they are paying you more.
C．Don't follow others to overcharge the passengers.
D．It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.
小題3:The writer can't put up with stealing because he thinks that ______. 
A．it is a totally shared experience
B．it is considered as the most dangerous
C．it does great harm to human relationship
D．it may lead to the loss of his sports team
小題4:It can be concluded from the text that ______. 
A．his father's advice helped him to decide which job to take up
B．working in the sports team was his most important experience
C．he learnt much from his shared experience with his team members
D．his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his later life

Then I would dress like a delivery boy, go to the __46____ neighbourhood and just knock on a ___47____. I always __48____ a note that explained my Thanksgiving experience __49____ a kid. The note said, “All that I ask ___50___ is that you take good enough care of ___51____ so that someday you can do the same thing for someone else.” I have received more from this annual ritual than I have from any amount of __52____ I’ve ever earned.
Years ago I was in New York City with my new wife during Thanksgiving. She was sad because we were not with our family. ___53____ she would be home decorating the house for Christmas, but we were __54_____ in a hotel room. When I told her what I always do on Thanksgiving, she got excited.
We packed enough food for seven families for thirty days and went to buildings where half a dozen people lived in one room with no electricity and no heat in winter surrounded by rats, cockroaches(蟑螂) and the smell of urine(尿). It was both an ___55____ realization that people lived this way and a truly fulfilling experience to make even a small difference.

Embroidering(刺繡)
When I was a little boy living in New York, my mother used to embroider a great deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the    36    and ask what she was doing. She   37  me that she was embroidering. I told her that it looked like a mess from where I was. As from the underside I watched her work within the    38  of the little round hoop（鐵環(huán)）that she held in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked   39   from where I sat.
She would smile at me, look down and  40   say, "My son, you go about your    41   for a while, and when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on my    42   and let you see it from my side."
I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the    43   ones and why they seemed so jumbled（混亂的）from my   44  . A few minutes would pass and then I would hear Mother's voice say, " Son, come and sit on my knee." This I did only to be  surprised and    45  to see a beautiful flower or a sunset. I could not    46  it, because from underneath it looked so messy.
Then mother would    47   to me, "My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you did not realize that there was a   48  plan on the top. It was a    49   . I was only following it. Now look at it from my side    50   you will see what I was doing."
Many    51    through the years, I have    52   up to my Heavenly Father and said, “ Father, what are You doing? ” He    53   , “ I am embroidering your    54  . ”I say, " But it looks like a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can't they all be bright ? " The Father seems to tell me, " My child, you go about your business of doing My business, and one day I will bring you to    55   and put you on my knee and you will see the plan from My side. "

Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar（美洲豹）saw Jeb and his son, Tom, before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.
Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.
“Tom, no!” shouted his father.
But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.
Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws（爪子）got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
“Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.
The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.
The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.
小題1:Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?
A．To get ready to fight.B．To frighten it away.
C．To protect the boy.D．To cool down.
小題2:What do we know about cougars?
A．They are afraid of noises.
B．They hesitate before they hit.
C．They are bigger than we think.
D．They like to attack running people.
小題3:Which of the following happened first?
A．The cougar jumped from the rock.
B．Tom struggled free of his father.
C．Jeb asked Tom to get the knife.
D．Jeb held Tom across his body.

The house was quiet at 5 a.m. and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring (輕微顫動(dòng)聲) of the freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches ---but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table.
Gone to Michael’s Back tonight .Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world．
Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky.
He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn’t go in all the way …
小題1:What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?
A．He left the house quietlyB．He had breakfast at home.

D．could only find some biscuits in the kitchen
小題3:What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?

B．The ups and downs of the waves
C．The change in the position of the sun
D．The vast stretch of the sunlit beach
小題4:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?

A man claiming to be a pastor(牧師) apparently tried to stiff a waiter on a tip, explaining that his work for God allowed him not to leave one.
A photo of the receipt, posted to Reddit.com, shows a bill for $34.93 with an automatic 18 percent gratuity(小費(fèi)) (or $6.29) added above a blank space for an additional tip.
“I give God 10%,” the diner wrote on the receipt, scratching out the automatic tip. “Why do you get 18?” He then wrote “Pastor” above his signature, and an emphatic “0” where the additional tip would be. (The automatic gratuity, however, had already been added to the total.)
The Reddit user who submitted the image explained in the comments section that the receipt was part of a total bill for a party of 20, which is why the gratuity was automatically added.
“Parties up to eight ... may tip whatever they’d like, but larger parties receive an automatic gratuity," the server wrote. "It’s in the computer; it’s not something I do.”
The server added: “They had no problem with my service, and told me I was great. They just didn’t want to pay when the time came.”
Scribbling(亂涂) notes on receipts has become something of a trend. Earlier this month, the manager of a North Carolina Red Robin surprised an overdue pregnant woman by comping her meal.
“Once seated, a manager came up to us and started talking,” the woman's husband told Consumerist. “He was extremely friendly and jokingly asked my wife if this was her last meal before heading to the hospital.”
When the check came, a note from the manager next to her portion of the bill read: “MOM 2 BEE GOOD LUC.”
“It was a pleasant surprise and made my tired-of-being-pregnant wife a little more cheery,” the man said.
小題1:What did the pastor mean by saying, “I give God 10%. Why do you get 18?”
A．He was bargaining with the waiter.
B．He didn’t mean to pay the gratuity at all.
C．God gave him the privilege not to pay a gratuity.
D．The gratuity had already been paid by his friends.
小題2:What do you learn from the article?
A．The pastor paid ten percent gratuity of the meal to God.
B．A party of six diners can choose whatever gratuity they want to pay.
C．According to the husband, the wife enjoyed the process of being pregnant.
D．The pastor paid $34.93 in total for the meal.
小題3:What does the underlined word “stiff” mean?
A．a(chǎn)museB．a(chǎn)buseC．persuadeD．fail to pay
