Just a Little Smile
Mark was walking home from school one day when he saw the boy in front of turn fall over and drop all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a basketball and a walkman (隨身聽). Mark stopped and helped the boy pick up these things. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry some of his things. As they walked, Mark knew that the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved computer games, basketball and history, and that he was having lots of troubles with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
They arrived at Bill’s home first and Mark was invited(邀請) in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk, then Mark went home. They often saw . each other at school, had lunch together once or twice, and then they both finished middle school. They ended up in the same high school where they sometimes saw and talked with each other over the years. At last just three weeks before they finished high school, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.
Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever think why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker(鎖柜) because I didn’t want to leave anything for anyone else. I had put away some of my mother’s sleeping pills and I was going home to kill myself. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, ! began to understand that if I killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life. "

2. B 根據(jù)下文along with two sweaters, a basketball and a walkman (隨身聽)能明顯推斷出他喜歡運(yùn)動和音樂,因?yàn)槔锩嫣岬搅嘶@球和隨身聽,故選B。而從he was having lots of troubles with his other subjects可知其它答案錯(cuò)誤。
3. A 細(xì)節(jié)題,根據(jù)They often saw . each other at school, had lunch together可知他們常在學(xué)校見面,并吃飯,故選A。
4. C 定位到這個(gè)短語,根據(jù)下面的girlfriend可知是分手的意思。此詞是由break的過去分詞加up 構(gòu)成,不難猜出選C。
