Several years ago,a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.
The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d be important only if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”
“No, I don‘t,” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘It’s for you.‘ ”
1.This story happened in _______.
A.America | B.England | C.Japan | D.Australia |
2.There are _______ in this passage.
A.two men and two women |
B.three men and one woman |
C.three women and one man |
D.four women |
3.The banker thought _______.
A.he was really important because he was a rich banker |
B.the reporter was really important |
C.the visitor who met the President of the United States |
D.the visitor to the White House was really important |
4.The owner of many buildings thought _______.

B.the owner of the very large company was really important |
C.the visitor was really important if the President received a telephone call for the visitor |

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右.
Three years ago. I was arranged to work for a few weeks as a dentist in a new dental clinic at Victor Harbor, to the south of Adelaide and an hour further away than my usual workplace. My first day there was rush driving to a new and unfamiliar clinic and getting used to the different rules and clinical environment.
In my worry and anxiety, and feeling a little unfamiliar in the new setting, I removed my three things: my wedding ring, a ring that belonged to my mother and one that was an anniversary gift from my husband. I wrapped them in a tissue(纸巾) and placed them beside my computer.
During my lunch break, I noticed the wrinkled tissue and thought that it didn’t look very neat and dropped it into the rubbish bin. I went about my duties and my day went on well; I met new patients and felt that I had been productive and efficient. Driving home at the end of the day, just moments before I reached my house, I noticed that I was missing my rings. I felt the heart in my body rose, my cheeks burning red. I went inside and tried to calm down. I felt sick to my stomach and I had that sinking feeling in my heart. I spent an hour or so making calls trying to follow the track of my rings. The first people I called was my manager and clinical leader and they gave me a few contact numbers for cleaners. I got in touch with a lady who managed the cleaning services for the clinic and she informed me that the bins had already been collected.
Heartbroken, I knew nothing could be done now. I had lost my wedding ring and one of my most treasured rings my mother’s wedding ring. Had it not been for my carelessness, all this would not have happened. With great sorrow and regret, I just sat there rooted in my chair.
Paragraph 1:
After two hours or so, I received a most amazing phone call. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I decided to thank the wonderful person face to face. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

About fifty years ago, when television first came out, people thought that radio was no longer useful. Television has both sounds and images(影像). It is much more real and interesting to watch television than to listen to the radio.
However, fifty years later radio is still very popular and it will be here for a long time. One reason is that we don’t need to see an image when we listen to the music on the radio. In fact, listening with your eyes closed is the best way to listen to a piece of music. You can imagine yourself on a sandy beach or up high on a mountain. In other words, you can create your own images. Moreover, while listening to the radio, you don’t have to take your eyes off your work. For example, you can listen to the radio and drive at the same time. Or you can read a book and listen to the radio. Television, on the other hand, doesn’t have this advantage.
A radio is much smaller than a television. You can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime you want. In a quiet place you can use headphones to listen to the news or music on the radio. In this way you won’t disturb anybody.
Moreover, a radio is much cheaper than a television. For less than $ 20 you can buy a small radio and have fun with it.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Music. B.Radio. C.Sound. D.Television.
2.People like to watch TV because _______.
A.it has headphones to listen to the news
B.they can drive while watching TV
C.it has both sounds and images
D.they can watch with their ears
3.We learn from the passage that _______.
A.people can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime
B.television came out 50 years ago and it is useless now
C.a radio is more expensive than a television
D.people can use headphones to read books

A 13-year-old boy who had been reported missing four years ago was discovered alive, hidden behind a fake wall of a home near Atlanta, Georgia, and was sent to live with his mother early on Saturday, police said.
Five people living in the home in Jonesboro, 17 miles (28km) south of Atlanta, were caught by the police, among them the boy’s father, Gregory, 37, and a woman, said Sergeant Kevin Hughes of the Clayton County police.
Gregory and Samantha Joy Davis were facing charges of false imprisonment, abuse on children and attacking an officer, he said, adding that three teenagers also in the home were facing charges.
The boy’s mother clearly had reported him missing to the child welfare but not the police, and no missing person’s report was found in Clayton County, Hughes said. And the teen was able to get a phone recently and told his mother his whereabouts, authorities said.
Clayton County police went to the home on Friday to look for the 13-year-old but Gregory and Davis said they had no information about the boy, Hughes said.
Several hours later, police came back and again searched the house. While the police were in the home, the boy called his mother, who told officers where her son was hidden in the house, Hughes said. “They discovered him hidden behind a false wall in the inside part of the home,” he said. The boy appeared to be in good physical health and was reunited with his mother, who had come to Georgia from out of the state, Hughes said.
Neighbors in their quiet, well-kept Jonesboro neighborhood said the family moved in about six months ago and kept to themselves. The 13-year-old boy always seemed to be home and did not appear to go to school, they said.
1.Where was the boy finally found?
A. Behind a fake wall of his mother’s home.
B. In a hidden place in his father’s house.
C. In their quiet neighborhood.
D. In 17 miles south of Atlanta, Georgia.
2.The underlined word "whereabouts" in the text perhaps means _________.
A. Place B. Direction
C. Home D. Phone
3.Which is the best title for the passage?
A. A 13-year-old teen was found in his home.
B. A teen missing four years ago was found alive.
C. Charges from Clayton County police.
D. Mother’s concern about her son’s safety.
