The story begins with fishing.
Once a boy and his father went fishing before bass (a kind of special fish) season opened. They were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on 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 special fish).
The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm – two hours before the bass 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 decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics (伦理道德)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?
A. The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.
B. The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.
C. The father lit a match in order to check the time.
D. They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done.
2.From the text we know that the father _____.
A. disliked the huge fish B. was firm and stubborn
C. didn’t love his son D. always disagreed with his son
3.The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _____.
A. they might catch a big fish there
B. he was taught a moral lesson there
C. it was a most popular fishing spot
D. their children enjoyed fishing there
4.What does the story imply?
A. An ethical decision is always easy to make.
B. It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.
C. It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimes
D. Fishing can help one to make right decisions
5.What kind of the person the father is?

Last Saturday our class went hiking in a countryside. We meet at our school gate and set off at 8:00 am. On the way, we were singing and laughing happily while a girl suddenly fell into a deep hole.She felt so frightening and even burst into tears. One of my classmate found a long rope and we got him out. Fortunately, she didn’t suffer seriously injuries, but it seemed that her ankle slightly twisted. We managed to sending her to the nearest hospital. It is an experience we’ll never forget it, though we didn’t enjoy ourselves very much that day.

One Saturday afternoon, I went to a fast food restaurant to have some food with my kids. As we were walking into the restaurant, I noticed a woman smoking a cigarette outside. While we were waiting in line, with about ten other people, we saw the woman rush back into the store to help the busy staff.
A customer standing next to us started yelling at the employee who had begun filling brown paper bags with fries, burgers, and nuggets, “I saw you,” she said. “I saw you out there smoking; then you came in straight and touched our food! It’s disgusting! Why would you do that?” The woman wouldn’t stop. Everyone was staring. The employee was getting teary. It looked as if she just wanted to find a place to hide. The manager came over and told her to wash her hands and leave the floor for a while. He then apologized to the customer.
“That’s disgusting,” my oldest son whispered to me, “But I do feel bad for her.” I was glad he followed it up with that last sentence. His comment showed me that he’d probably never treat someone the way that customer had treated that employee.
You are allowed to be angry at others’ improper behavior and tell them how you feel. However, you don’t need some audience or witnesses when you are making negative comments on others. Doing that in public doesn’t strengthen your point.
I’m willing to bet that the woman being criticized was so shamed that she wasn’t able to hear the message that was being forced down her throat. However, had the customer taken her aside, and said in a quiet voice, “I noticed you didn’t wash your hands after your smoke break; can you please go to do that now?” The employee would have had the opportunity to do just that. The message the customer wanted to convey would have gotten to that employee more effectively, and her entire day would not have been ruined.
1.Why was the customer so angry?
A.The employee smoked in front of her.
B.She was yelled at by people around her.
C.She had to wait in a long line for her food.
D.The employee touched food without washing hands.
2.How did the employee respond after hearing the customer’s words?
A.She felt confused and annoyed.
B.She turned to her manager for help.
C.She was very sad and embarrassed.
D.She dealt with the problem calmly.
3.The comments of the author’s oldest son indicated that he .
A.had sympathy for the employee
B.supported the customer’s behavior
C.cared little about the employee’s action
D.had experienced the situation many times
4.What does the author mainly want to convey?
A.We should treat every person equally.
B.We should always mind our behavior.
C.We should admit our mistakes bravely.
D.We should avoid criticizing someone in public.

Last evening, I went to teahouse with my best friend Susan. Before the tea was serving, we talked to each other happily. When the waiter went to us with the tea, we didn’t see him. Unfortunately, Susan rose her hand to comb her hair just while the waiter bent to put the plate on the table. His hand hit the cup, and the tea was spattered (溅) on her trousers. In my surprise, instead of complaining , Susan smiled, “ So lucky that it’s not on my shirt, and I can’t even clean it.” Her words were very inspired. We can’t foresee what will happen, but looking at it in a positive way can make us be happy

My husband and I recently went to Disney World with our children and grandchildren. We had a wonderful time and made lots of sweet memories together, but unexpectedly, I learned something as we made our way through the parks.
Our four grandchildren were excited about the attraction where children can drive the cars. Since our party was uneven (不均匀的) in numbers and two people fit in each car, I sat out that one and headed down to get pictures of everyone as they drove past on the track.
As I waited for my gang to drive by, I noticed a car with a father and his son who looked to be about 7. They rolled down the hill at the beginning, and then the car stopped. The young driver looked panicked, “I can’t do it.” His father quietly said, “Yes, you can.”
“No. I can’t!” “Yes, you can, son.”
The little guy was almost in tears, “I CAN’T!” With deep patience, the father said, “Son, you can do this. I’m going to help you.” Then he talked him through pushing the gas pedal (油门踏板) and driving the car. Mere moments later with the father helping his son, the two went smoothly on their way down the track.
The scene brought tears to my eyes. That sweet whispered to my soul, “Yes, you can”. Then every time things got hard or when I had failures along the way, I would think “You can”.
Time and time again, the words patiently encouraged me on the journey. That’s where the true strength comes in. I am aware that I can not do things under my own power, but the words “Yes, you can” come beside me and provide wisdom and strength. There’s no way I can fail. Are you struggling with something today? Have the “I can’t” moments taken over? You can trust the words “Yes, you can”.
1.What did the author think of her family’s trip to Disney World?
A.Surprising. B.Disappointing.
C.Satisfying. D.Boring.
2.How did the boy feel before the car restarted again?
A.Excited. B.Frightened.
C.Encouraged. D.Moved.
3.What did the boy’s father do?
A.He encouraged the boy. B.He let the boy drive all by himself.
C.He took the place of the boy and drove. D.He was unwilling to help the boy.
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A.The author enjoyed traveling very much.
B.The author was unwilling to help lazy children.
C.“You can” has helped the author a lot.
D.The author hasn’t failed in anything.
