Seated in a convertible (敞篷车) with the top down at 60 miles an hour, Mary looked at the flies that sat on top of Mark’s hair. How could they stay there? She wondered.
Mary had not seen Mark in years, until the other day when he came into the café where she worked. His appearance was different from when he was in high school. Now, he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes. However, that didn’t change Mary’s feelings for him at all. He had just bought a brand new red sports car and asked her if she would like to go for a ride and then have dinner with him. Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door for her. She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away. On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there.
Mary stared in amazement. It seemed the faster they drove, the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair.
Mary remained silent. She leaned forward and turned the radio on, to try to divert her attention away from the flies, but she couldn’t help thinking about them. She looked up at Mark, who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing to the music while driving merrily along.
Finally, Mark pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road beside a diner and looked in the mirror and said, “Mary, I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat. Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream?”
Mary reached under the seat and pulled out a camping backpack, which contained a round jar and started to laugh wildly as she pointed to the label (商标).
“That’s not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says it’s Fly Trap Glue!”
1.What can we learn from the text?
A. Mark had bought a new sports car for Mary.

3.Why did Mary burst into laughter?
A. Because Mary played a trick on Mark.
B. Because their ride wasn’t well prepared.
C. Because Mark had prepared a jar of hair cream for her.
D. Because Mark had mistaken Fly Trap Glue for hair cream.

The summer I turned 16， my father gave me his ‘69 Chevy Malibu convertible（敞篷车）． Beautifully repainted with V﹣8 engine﹣it was a gift wasted on me at that age． What did I know about classic cars？ The important thing was that Hannah and I could drive around Tucson with the top down．
Hannah was my best friend， a year younger but much taller， almost five foot ten． "Hannah's going to be something，" my mother always said． And sure enough， that summer she signed with a modeling agency．
She was already doing catalog and runway work．
A month after my birthday， Hannah and I went to the movies． On the way home， we stopped at the McDonald's drive﹣through， putting the fries on the seat between us to share． "Let's ride around awhile，" I said． It was a clear night， oven﹣warm， full moon cast low over the desert． Taking a curve too fast， I hit a patch of dirt and slid from side to side． I then cut through a neighbor's landscape wall and drove into a full﹣grown palm． The front wheels came to rest halfway up the tree trunk． French fries on the floor， the dash，and my lap． An impossible amount of blood on Hannah's face， pieces of skin hanging into her eyes． They took us in separate ambulances． In the emergency room， my parents spoke quietly： Best plastic surgeon in the city． End of her modeling career．
We'd been wearing leg belts， but the car didn't have shoulder bands． I'd damaged my cheekbone on the wheel； Hannah's forehead had split wide open on the dash． What would I say to her？ When her mother，Sharon， came into my hospital room， I started to cry， preparing myself for her anger． She sat beside me and took my hand． "I hit my best friend's car in the rear when I was your age，" she said． "I wrecked her car and mine．" "I'm so sorry，" I said．"You're both alive，" she said． "The rest is windowdressing．" I started to protest， and Sharon stopped me． "I forgive you． Hannah will too．"
Sharon's forgiveness allowed Hannah and me to get back in the car together that summer， to stay friends throughout high school and college， to be in each other's weddings， and to watch my four teenagers get along with her three younger children． I think of her gift of forgiveness every time I'm tempted to blame someone in a secret for something recognized as wrong． And whenever I see Hannah， the scars are so faded that no one else would notice，but in the sunlight I can still see the faint shimmer（微光）just below her hairline﹣for me， a sign of grace．
1.Which of the following about Hannah is TRUE according to the passage？
A. She was not as badly injured as the author．
B. She never really forgave me though her mother did．
C. She learned the gift of forgiveness through the accident．
D. She could have been a model if she hadn't experienced the accident．
2.In paragraph 4， "window dressing" is closest in meaning to " "．
A. insignificant
B. colorful
C. undetermined
D. hopeful
3.According to the passage， Sharon comforted the author by ．
A. showing her own scar
B. mentioning her own story
C. visiting the author in person
D. teaching the author a personal lesson
4.Which of the following might be the best title of the article？
A. A Graceful Friend
B. A Lasting Friendship
C. A Lucky Car Accident
D. The Gift of Forgiveness

A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile-zone, when a police car came behind him with the light on. 1.

The policeman said, "Well, I guess so,'' and started writing something in his notebook. 2..

He got a fine, a few months in prison, and was free, free to hug two other daughters. 4.I have tried to forgive that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive him, but I have to do it again, even right now.5."
The man was very surprised and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove slowly, even a few miles under the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.
