The clock struck(敲)eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of books. I was going to have my exam the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn't answer, in fact I dared not.
The clock struck 12. "Oh, dear!" I cried, "ten more books to read before I can go to bed!" We pupils are the poorest creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one.1 was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learnt. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed(祈禱),"Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard later on, Amen." My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

解析試題分析:在考試前的夜晚,作者的室友都已經睡覺了,但是作者正在復習知識,因為明天將要有一個考試。但是面對知識,作者感到不一定能將考試考好,因此越想越不能睡著,在面對一次又一次的反思中,最后還是睡著了。
【小題1】細節(jié)理解題。問題:當作者正在復習知識的時候,屋子里面的所有的人正在做什么?聯(lián)系原文:The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. 句意:整個房間都很安靜。每個人都在睡覺,除了我。從而明確,其他人都在睡覺。故選C
【小題2】細節(jié)理解題。問題:你推想作者發(fā)生了什么事?分析原文,作者在考試前感覺到有太多的知識沒有會,因此在面對這么多的書還沒有讀的時候,心情很沉重,因此說明作者對學習內容掌握的不好,所以推想作者考試會失敗。故選B

I’m seventeen. I worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter (柜臺) and I put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars. It was hard work.
While working, I wore a plate with my name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said, “Mr. Castle, how are you?” We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, “It was nice talking to you, Brett.” I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh, no. He didn’t remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put “Irving” down on my name plate. If he’d have said, “Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?” I’d have been ready for him. There’s nothing personal here.
The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: you couldn’t accept tips(小費). Okay, I’m outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction(反應)is to take a quarter and give it to me. I’d say, “I’m sorry, I can’t.” They’d get angry. When you give someone a tip, you’re sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say, “Oh, thanks a lot.” When you say, “I’m sorry, I can’t.” they feel a little put down. They say, “No one will know.” And they put it in your pocket. You say, “I really can’t.” It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store’s belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas. One lady actually put a tip in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I was puzzled and didn’t know what to do. Should I d have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something?
I decided that one year had been enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.
【小題1】. From the second paragraph, we can infer (推斷) that ________.

A.the writer didn’t like the impersonal part of his job
B.people can easily start talking with a name plate
C.Mr. Castle mistook Irving for Brett
D.Irving was the writer’s real name
【小題2】. The box boy refused to accept tips because ________.
A.customers only gave small tips to
B.some customers had strange ideas about tipping
C.he didn’t want to fight with the customers
D.the store didn’t allow the box boys to take tips
【小題3】. The underlined phrase “put down” in the third paragraph probably means ________.
A.relaxedB.upset
C.boredD.surprised
【小題4】What can be the best title for this text?
A.How I Could Find a Job
B.How I Got along with Customers
C.Why I Gave up My Job
D.Why I couldn’t Take Tips

Once a great lion was sleeping in a forest (森林). A little mouse happened to come and ran over his face. The lion woke up and caught the little mouse very angrily.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that every moment they will affect your life in some serious way.
Sometimes things happen to you. At the time they may seem terrible, painful and unfair. But later you realize that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your further ability and strength. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.
The people you meet affect your life, and the successes and failure you experience, create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.
Enjoy every day, even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your sights high, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.[來源:學#科#網Z#X#X#K]
