When my brother and I were growing up, we mowed(割草)yards during the summer to make pocket money. Dad was our salesman. He traded our service to neighbors at a price they could not refuse. My brother and I got $10 per yard. I later found out our friends had asked $20 or more for the same amount of work.

One afternoon we were cutting our neighbor's yard, the grass was knee-high. What made matters worse was that we had an old lawn mower that kept shutting off as we worked through her lawn. This particular afternoon, I was finishing up and was tired and sweaty. I was just about to leave when I saw Dad pointing to one lone piece. Thinking about the poor money I was getting paid for cutting grass so high that it almost broke the mower, I ignored him and kept walking. Dad called me out, “You missed a piece”.

I frowned(皱眉), hoping he would let me slide and go home. He kept pointing. So angry, I went back to cut that piece of grass. I said to myself, “That one piece isn't hurting anyone. Why won't he just let it go?”

But when I became an adult, I understood his message: When you are running a business, the work you do says a great deal about you. If you want to be seen as a businessman with honesty, you must produce a quality product. That single piece of grass meant the job was not done. Other neighbors took notice of the good work we did and we soon got more business.

The lesson my dad taught me stayed with me: If you say you are going to perform a job at certain time, keep your word. Give your customers the kind of service you would like to receive. It shows how sincere you are and how much pride you take in your work.

1.Why did Dad ask much less for mowing the yards?

A.Because he was not a good businessman. B.Because he didn’t care about money too much.

C.Because he thought his children s service was bad. D.Because the owner of the yard was too poor.

2.When Dad asked the writer to go back, the writer felt_____________.

A.excited B.surprised C.angry D.pleased

3.The underlined word “sincere”in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by.

A.clever B.honest C.happy D.able

4.The best title for the passage may be__________.

A.The Memory of My Childhood B.The Yard of Our Neighbor

C.The Lesson from My Dad D.The Grass Cutting Days

We spent a few days in Paris last week. We visit the famous city quite regularly. After all, it only takes three hours from London to Pairs. It’s always a pleasure visiting places we really like, exploring areas we’ve never been.

The only unlucky thing this time was the weather. As soon as we got there the temperature reached almost 35 degrees C (which lasted until we left). It was so hot that Matthew just couldn’t stand it — for him, it wasn’t the most enjoyable trip. I felt sorry for him because every time we go there he has to put up with (忍受) my endless shopping spree (狂欢) …

Because of the heat, we ended up just having lots of ice-cream and drinks most of the time, although we managed to pay a few visits to the new Herme shop on rue de Vaugirard at least. It’s not as busy as the shop on rue Bonaparte so you can choose whatever you like without worrying about a queue behind you! I really enjoyed his bread this time as well as the cakes. And I must say that his Croissant aux Amandes and Bostock were simply the best I’ve ever had.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

2. The underlined word “stand” in the second paragraph means ____.

3. What can you know about Matthew from the second paragraph?

4. The shops on rue Bonaparte ____.

5.What’s the best title for the passage?
