The worker I hired to repair my house had just finished a difficult first day on the job. A broken wheel made him an hour late; his ladder () fell down when he was painting the roof and now his old truck wouldn' t start. With each problem he shouted angrily, more at himself than at his things. As I drove him home, the man didn't say a word.
I tried talking to the man to kill time. I managed to find out that he had come up from Blue Hills in Victoria with his family six months ago to find a job. This was his first job since moving here. I now knew why his price was lower than any other worker I could find in the local newspaper. He really needed the job. His clothes told me as much.
On arriving, much to my surprise, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked through his front garden he suddenly stopped at a small tree and placed his hands on it. Then, when he opened the door he completely changed. Instead of his troubled face, there was now a warm smile, hugs for his two children and a kiss for his wife.
The following day, I asked him about the tree.
"That's my trouble tree," he answered. "Work troubles aren't welcome at home with my wife and the children. So I hang them on that tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. "
"And you know what else?" he said smiling,"The next morning I find that there aren't as many as I remember hanging up the night before. "
1.Which of the following things did NOT happen to the worker?
A. His truck broke down. B. He was late for work.
C. He fell onto the roof. D. His ladder fell down.
2.When did the worker first arrive in this town?
A. Today. B. Last night.
C. Six weeks ago. D. Six months ago.
3.Where did the writer find the worker?
A. Through a newspaper. B. Beside the trouble tree.
C. In his old house. D. In Blue Hills, Victoria.
4.Why did the worker touch the tree?
A. To get good luck, B. To leave his trouble outside.
C. To send good wishes to his family. D. To clean his hands.

I have just returned from a visit to my landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. I am delighted with the house I am renting from him, which suits me perfectly.
Mr. Heathcliff is my only neighbour, and I think his character is similar to mine. He does not like people either.
When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned, and did not encourage me to enter. After a while, however, he decided to invite me in.
“Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant. He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse. “God help us! A visitor!” he whispered to himself. Perhaps there were no other servants, I thought. And it seemed that Heathcliff hardly ever received guests.
His house is called Wuthering Heights. The name means “a windswept house on a hill”, and it is a very good description. The trees around the house are bent by the north wind, which blows fiercely every day of the year. Fortunately, the house is strongly built, and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms.
Mr. Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room. We sat down by the fire, in silence.
“Joseph!” shouted Mr. Heathcliff. No answer came from the cellar, so he dived down there, leaving me alone with several rather fierce-looking dogs. Suddenly one of them jumped angrily up at me, and in a moment all the others were attacking me.
“Help! Mr. Heathcliff! Help!” I shouted. My landlord was nowhere to be seen, but luckily a woman, who might be the housekeeper, rushed into the room to calm the dogs.
“What is the matter?” Mr. Heathcliff asked me rudely, as he finally entered the room, accompanied by his man-servant.
“Your dogs, sir!” I replied. “You shouldn’t leave a stranger with them. They’re dangerous.”
“Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Have some wine. We don’t often have strangers here. I’m afraid neither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel offended after this, and accepted the wine. We sat drinking and talking together for a while. I suggested visiting him tomorrow. He did not seem eager to see me again, but I shall go anyway. He seems a fascinating man.
1.In which order should the following events be arranged?
a. Mr. Lockwood introduced himself to his landlord.
b. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Heathcliff sat drinking and talking together.
c. Mr. Heathcliff invited Mr. Lockwood into the house.
d. Mr. Lockwood was attacked by some dogs.

A. a, c, f, b, d, e. B. c, a, b, e, d, f.
C. a, c, e, d, f, b. D. c, a, f, e, d, b.
2.Why did Joseph say “God help us! A visitor!” when he met Mr. Lockwood?
A. He was very shocked to have a visitor.
B. He thought Mr. Lockwood was a new servant.
C. He had waited for Mr. Lockwood for a long time.
D. He was happy his prayer for guests was answered.
3.Why is the house called “Wuthering Heights”?
A. It is struck by strong winds all the year round.
B. It is protected well by the trees surrounding it.
C. The trees around it are bent by the north wind.
D. It is specially designed to resist strong winds.
4.What was the writer’s impression of Mr. Heathcliff?
A. He was rich but foolish. B. He was rude but interesting.
C. He was handsome but boring. D. He was strange but friendly.

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
To give the things you don’t need
When I moved into my new house, there was already a washing machine in it. However, I had just bought a new one, so I wondered what to do with the machine that was already in my house. I remembered two girls who regularly knocked at my door for religious reasons.
They never had or kept anything they didn’t need. If one of them needed something, they would work for the amount of time it took to make the money and then return to their religious work. They had just moved into their own house so I decided to give them all the things I didn’t need in my house. Whatever they didn’t need, they could give to the charity store they helped support.
I asked them if they needed a washing machine and they looked at each other and smiled. It turned out that they had called on a complete stranger the week before, a shingle mother with a new –born baby to take care of. She had been washing clothes by hand. When hey got home they discussed the fact that the woman probably needed their washing machine more than they did so they gave it to her. And their good deed had come back to them as they would be able to have my washing machine.
