When I called for the contribution the next day, I discovered that almost everyone had _______ except Willard P. Franklin. The boy _______ deep into his trousers pockets as he walked up to my desk. Carefully, he dropped two coins into the small box.

“I don’t need any milk for lunch,” he said very quietly. For a moment, _______ a moment, he smiled. Then he _______ and walked back to his desk.

That night, after school, I took our small collections to the school master. I couldn’t help telling him what had happened during the day.

“Yes, I believe it sounds ________,” he nodded. “And I think we might do well to have him________ a bit of his world with us. I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through the Christmas collection. Here, take a look at it.”

My friend Robert started a new job this week and he’s been in the training class for two days. The employer has a very strict dress code—dark blue shirts and pants.

On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn’t have the right clothes the next day. He explained, “Sir, I had been told about this, but because of my larger size, it’s sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford.”

Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn’t lose the chance of work simply because he couldn’t afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case it was needed.

When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. “You have 10 minutes to be in proper clothes,” he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have 10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.

The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn’t accept such a gift from a stranger. Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收据) and couldn’t return them—a little white lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.

“My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn’t have enough to buy the clothes,” he told Robert. “It’s unbelievable to me that a person would do such a thing for only knowing me a day!”

More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.

1.If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____.

A. be punished  B. be offered another job   C. put off the training class   D. lose his job

2.The money which was paid for the clothes was _____.

A. the trainer’s   B. the older man’s          C. the writer’s           D. Robert’s

3. How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?

A. He told the older man that he would lose his job if he did not take them.

B. He told a lie that the clothes didn’t fit himself.

C. He told the older man that he could save money and return it later.

D. He told the older man that he had no way to send them back.

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Proper clothes for a stranger            B. Fight against strict rules

C. A strange employer                   D. An unbelievable thing

Back home from the Navy, I started school at Greenville College in my hometown of Illinois. I’d been out of high school for four years, but my high school headmaster, Mr. Gardner, invited me to a Valentine’s Day dance party at school. The thought of seeing my former teachers was exciting. So I agreed.

When Friday came, I cleaned up, dressed up and drove to the high school gym. I chatted with my teachers and approached Mr. Gardner to thank him before leaving. Just then, the band started playing and a young girl stood up to sing. One look at her and I was crazy — I had never seen such a beautiful girl!

I asked Mr. Gardner who she was, and he answered, “That’s Marilyn Riley, Cut Riley’s daughter.” I was shocked to say the least. They lived just around the comer from me. I walked across the gym floor to introduce myself, “Hi, Fm Jack Joseph.’’

“I know who you are,” was her not-too-friendly response.

“Would you like to dance?” I asked. “No! I’m working,” she shot back.

“Can I call you next week for a movie date?” I asked. “No” was her response.

For the next month I phoned，trying to set up a date. She always had the same answer: No. Then one rainy afternoon in March as I was driving home after basketball practice, I saw Marilyn, walking with no umbrella, no raincoat and no hat. I pulled alongside her and asked if she needed a ride, half expecting her to say no. Instead, she stepped over the roadside and sat down on the seat next to me. It was only a few blocks to her house, but after pulling into her driveway we talked for 45 minutes. It was magic from then on.

1.Why did Jack decide to attend the party?

A. The party was held to welcome him back home.

B. Marilyn would be introduced to him at the party.

C. He could meet some of his former teachers there.

D. They gathered there to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

2.What was the author’s attitude towards the party?

A. Casual.　　 B. Formal.

C. Passive.　　 D. Worried.

3.We can infer from the text that 　　　　 .

A. Jack once served in the army after high school

B. it took Jack 45 minutes to drive Marilyn home

C. Jack and Marilyn were familiar with each other

D. it was Marilyn’s cold attitude that interested Jack

4.How would the story most probably develop in the end?

A. Marilyn would fall in love with Jack.

B. Jack would make great achievements in college.

C. Marilyn would become a famous singer.

D. Jack would have frequent conflicts with Marilyn.
