As I jogged over the bridge and round the corner on my regular early morning run, he was standing opposite the jeweler’s, looking extremely suspicious. But the moment he saw me, instead of trying to avoid me, he came straight across the road as I drew level with the jeweler’s. Halfway across he began addressing me: “I thought you were going to…” — but his voice trailed away as he received no reply and no sign of recognition from me. It was quite obvious that he had mistaken me for someone else. But he started up again as if nothing had happened．“Good morning, ” he said．“Nice to bump into someone so early. Someone to talk to. I’ve taken to talking to myself on this job.”

I hate meeting people when I’m out early, and I was almost out of breath, so I just paused in my stride, nodded in a friendly manner, and went on up the road. The stranger had spoken quietly, and quite slowly. And I had noticed that he was well dressed, too. But if he looked suspicious dressed like that at that time of the morning, what about me? I was in a track suit, with an old sweater round my shoulders and a cap on my head．As to his odd remark about “talking to himself on this job”, I hadn’t paid any attention to it, although now it began to worry me. Was he perhaps a plain clothes policeman? At the time I somehow felt he was.

I had just turned the corner into the High Street when I heard the sound of breaking glass somewhere behind me, and I thought the sound came from the street I had just left. I stopped dead and almost without thinking looked back around the corner. The stranger was not there, but almost immediately an alarm bell in the jeweler’s began ringing furiously.

I found out later that a burglar had broken into the jeweler’s shop and stolen watches and rings worth about　 ￡5,000. The police are still looking into the matter, but I’m afraid to go and tell them what I know now because they might even suspect me of committing the crime, and it might be difficult for me to prove my innocence. After all, I haven’t offered my assistance as a witness, and the only other person around that morning was the “stranger” who had spoken to me.

1.From the passage we can infer that the author _____.

A.always goes past the jeweler’s

B.didn’t like talking to the strangers

C.meets a few people every morning

D.saw a plain clothes policeman that morning

2.Why did the stranger talk to the author?

A.Because the stranger took the author as someone else.

B.Because the stranger loved talking to people.

C.Because the stranger recognized the writer.

D.Because the stranger took a job of talking to himself.

3.Why did the stranger seem suspicious?

A.He was about to go into the jeweler’s.

B.He was far too friendly.

C.He was dressed too well for that time.

D.He talked to himself a lot.

4.If the writer had been on the spot, _____.

A.he might have been badly injured

B.he would have seen what happened

C.he wouldn’t have heard the alarm bell

D.the stranger wouldn’t have broken the window

5.What idea does the author convey in the last paragraph?

A.he thinks the stranger is innocent

B.the burglar didn’t steal very much

C.he might commit the crime to the police

D.he hesitates whether to report to the police about what he knew

It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”

“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.

My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and went. I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”.

When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib (肋骨) might have pierced (穿透) a lung....”

My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled (愤慨地说出) those words at him earlier in the day?

It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

“Daddy... I am so sorry....”

“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay.”

“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”

My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though.” He managed a weak smile.

My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

1.The author was in bad mood that morning because ________.

A. his father had a terrible accident

B. he couldn’t drive to the mall with his friends

C. his friends hadn’t invited him to the cinema

D. his father didn’t allow him to go out with his friends

2.Why did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?

A. Because he didn’t go along with his father.

B. Because he was rude to his father that morning.

C. Because he failed to come earlier after the accident.

D. Because he couldn’t look after his father in the hospital.

3.The reason why the author’s father said he forgot everything about that day is that ________.

A. he had a poor memory

B. he didn’t want to forgive his son

C. he just wanted to comfort his son

D. he lost his memory after the accident

4.What lesson did Beck learn from the matter?

A. Don’t treat your parents badly

B. Don’t hurt others with rude words

C. Don’t move the injured in an accident

D. Don’t be angry with friends at small things

Anybody who’s noticed so many sweaty Sunday-morning photos on the Internet must think that marathons have recently regained popularity．According to Running USA，an organization that tracks the sport’s growth，52 percent of runners today track themselves with some sort of GPS-enabled device，like a smart phone or a fitness tracker．This statistic has likely played a role in running’s growing appeal--the easily available tracking information has attracted people to the sport，and kept them going，for it’s possible for anyone to see in real time how it’s affecting their bodias.

Today，free smart phone apps can give runners information on things like the number and length of their steps，their heart rate，even the estimated volume of oxygen they consume per minute．All this information can act as a reward and a motivator for the runner．“It’s one thing to hear encouragement from a coach．”Bryan Boyle，editor of Runner’s World magazine，explains．“It’s quite another，however，to appreciate-at a glance-progress made during weeks and months of running．’’

But run—tracking technology doesn’t just help runners train harder. It also gives them the power to train more intelligently．Recreational runners today no longer have to guess how far or how fast they’ve run，or what their body is doing．If they can monitor their heart rate，they can make sure they’re hitting the most strategic pace on each run，which can significantly increase their chances of having a positive experience on the course during race day．

No matter how much technology can promote the experience of running，though，many runners argue that the biggest benefit of the sport remains the chance to get outdoors，away from the computer，for an hour．“There’s so much more to experience，” adds Boyle．“fresh air，travel，shoot，just overall feeling better．There’s no app for that．”

1.We can infer from the first paragraph that 　　 ．

A．people enjoy posting sports pictures on the Internet

B．Running USA plays a key role in the growth of running

C．tracking technology is drawing more people on the road

D．run—tracking devices help people run faster than before

2.Which of the following questions are the second and third paragraphs intended to answer?

A．What information can run—tracking devices provide for the runners?

B．How is the run—tracking technology popularizing running?

C．In what way is run—tracking technology developed?

D．Why do people have to rely on wearable devices in modern society?

3.As for the experienced runners，what attracts them most is　　 ．

A．the exciting experience technology brings them

B．a chance to enjoy nature outdoors

C．becoming popular on social media

D．being cool with a new wearable device on the road
