One afternoon I was driving along the narrow dirt road. Ahead of me was a small red car with two people in the front seats. You can’t go very fast on a dirt road so I was driving carefully after it.
As we did, I began to watch the car in front of me. The driver was a middle-aged man with thinning hair, and beside him sat a woman with long, wavy blond hair. I could see the man’s face because he kept turning and talking and talking to the woman, but I couldn’t see her face because she never turned to look at him and answer.
As we drove along, the man turned again and again, talking to the woman. He leaned(靠) toward her and he smiled. But she sat without movement or response, staring straight ahead. She never once looked in his direction, and I wondered why.
I supposed of course that they were fighting. The long blond hair suggested someone beautiful. I thought she might be too coldhearted, the way a beautiful woman can usually be. I thought that the man might be her husband, or her lover, and that he was pleading with her. I thought she was turning cold to him: perhaps she was ending things completely, and he was trying to win her back.
We both slowed down to cross a little stone bridge, and once past it, on the straight, he turned again to her. I wondered then if I’d gotten it wrong. The man was definitely middle-aged, and the woman’s long, thick blond hair suggested youth. Perhaps the man was not her husband but her father. Maybe she was sitting silently still, not heartlessly. Or maybe she was weeping and unable to look at her father.
I watched them closely, trying to be sure. The man turned to her, smiling. She still did not look at him. We reached the stop sign at the end of Mount Holly Road, and the man turned once more to the blond woman. This time, at last, she turned toward him. She leaned over and licked his nose with her tongue. She was a golden retriever, a large dog used in hunting.
1.The real relationship of the two sitting in the front seats of the small red car is _______.
A. a husband and an angry wife
B. a loving father and a weeping daughter
C. a master and a big dog
D. lovers in quarrel
2.We can infer from the text that______.
A. the author followed the man out of curiosity at the very beginning
B. the man couldn’t match the woman beside him
C. the man loved the one sitting beside him very much
D. the man was a good husband or a good father
3.The underlined sentence in the text means_____.
A. he was begging her
B. he was playing with her
C. he was quarrelling with her
D. he was joking with her
4.Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. A Poor Middle-aged Man
B. An Unexpected Companion
C. A Beautiful Proud Woman
D. An Unforgettable Experience

Rocky Lyons was five years old when his mother, Kelly, was driving along the country road with him. He was asleep on the front seat of their truck, with his feet resting on her lap. As his mom drove carefully down the winding country road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. The truck hit a rock and slid off the road. She attempted to bring it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal and turning the steering wheel to the left. But Rocky’s foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck.[ X.JTYJY.COM/]
The truck fell into a 20-foot ravine（峡谷）. When it hit bottom, Rocky woke up. “What happened, Mama?” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”
Kelly was seriously wounded and blinded by blood. “I’ll get you out, Mama,” announced Rocky, who had surprisingly escaped injury. He climbed out from under Kelly, slid through the open window and tried to yank（用力拉）his mother out. But she didn’t move.
“Just let me sleep,” begged Kelly, who was out of consciousness. Rocky insisted, “Mom, you can’t go to sleep.”
Rocky managed to push Kelly out of the truck and told her he’d climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Kelly refused to let him go alone. Instead they slowly moved up to the road. The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up, but Rocky wouldn’t let her.
Rocky kept repeating the inspirational phrase, “I know you can, I know you can.” When they finally reached the road, Rocky broke into tears seeing his mother’s torn face clearly for the first time. Waving his arms and shouting, “Please stop!” the boy stopped a truck. His mother was sent to hospital.
It took 8 hours to rebuild Kelly’s face. She looks quite different today---“I used to have a straight long nose, thin lips and high cheekbones; now I’ve got a flat cheeks and much bigger lips”--- but she has few scars and has recovered from her injuries.
Rocky’s heroics were big news. Everyone was surprised at this little boy’s power. “It’s not like I wanted it to happen,” The boy explained. “ I just did what anyone would have done.” “If it weren’t for Rocky, I’d have died,” said his mother.
1.According to the text, Rocky and Kelly _________ .

I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.
As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leatherjacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the Wheel，” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.
Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.
1.The writer's good mood ended when________.
A．he heard news between songs
B．he had to stop at a red traffic light
C．he heard a rich man broke the law
D．he saw four leatherjacketed bikers
2.What were the four bikers doing at the traffic lights?
A．Having a bicycle race in the street.
B．Selling helmets to the passersby.
C．Raising money to help kids in need.
D．Preparing for Christmas holidays.
3.What does “bolstered” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A．Destroyed. B．Improved. C．Decreased. D．Exploded.
4.The writer wants to tell us that we should ________.
A．have faith in young people B．judge others by their actions
C．change our attitude to society D．manage to help others in need
