Once upon a time, there was a man who was so famous that everyone in his country knew him.

One day, the famous man was sitting in a restaurant with his sister. “It must be great to be famous. Everyone tries to please you, and you can do whatever you want to,” said his sister. “It’s quite the opposite sometimes, in fact. Because I’m famous, I can’t do what I want to,” he denied. “But look, we’re sitting at the best table and eating the best food. We couldn’t sit here and eat this if you weren’t famous,” said his sister. “I’ll show you what I mean,” said he.

The next day, the famous man picked up his sister and took her to another country. “I’m not at all famous here,” he said. “Let’s see how we get on.” Soon they found a restaurant, but it was very busy, so they had to queue. “This wouldn’t have happened if you were famous,” said his sister, but the famous man just smiled.

When they finally got a table, it took the waiter years to bring what they ordered. And the food supposed to be hot was cold, and the food supposed to be cold was hot! Eventually, the famous man couldn’t stand any more and asked to see the manager. “This food is awful. We had to wait an hour for a seat, and the service is also very poor. Look, even my spoon is dirty!”

Showing his horribly yellow teeth, the manager, smiling, said, “Well, that’s just bad luck for you.”

“Don’t you know who I am?” asked the famous man.

“I’ve no idea,” replied the manager.

So the famous man and his sister ran away, without paying.

1.What’s the attitude of the man’s sister toward famous people?

A. Indifferent.   B. Envious.   C. Curious.      D. Annoyed.

2.The famous man took his sister to another country to ________.

A. see how famous he was there      B. enjoy the delicious food there

C. enjoy the beautiful views there     D. see what would happen if no one knew him

3. In fact, the famous man thought that being famous ________.

A. was a thing worth taking pride in  B. could bring him all he needed

C. was not all great with everything  D. would enable him to travel abroad

4.The passage is written mainly ________.

A. to describe famous people’s life

B. to explain the importance of being famous

C. to show how to deal with problems in a restaurant

D. to show that famous people are watched more

Once there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day before bass(巴斯鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied a small silver lure(鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.

The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 p.m.—two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.

“Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.

Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.

That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.

And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.

1.What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?

2.From the text we know that the father _________.

3.The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same    place because _______.

4.What does the story imply (suggest）?
