The other day when I was passing a clothing store, I fell in love with a skirt. I knew it would suit me best at first sight. But when I looked at the price tag (标签), I knew I had to give it up.

The love for beautiful clothes has been planted in my heart the day when I was born to be a woman. Several years ago I read an article in a magazine. The article stated that when a woman is at her best time, she is usually poor or tasteless, so she can’t get the right clothes; when she can afford to buy the clothes she likes, she often finds that they do not suit her anymore.

On the way home, I was quite disturbed by such thoughts. It was just a pity, like many other pities. I thought to myself this way. But when I was about to enter the building where I was living, I saw the big mirror placed in the entrance. I saw a girl in it who was in cheap but cleanly washed sweater and jeans. She was rather young, healthy and energetic. For quite a while I was touched by what I had seen in the mirror.

Then I almost forgot the tale: A person without shoes cried until he saw a man without feet. Being young without good clothes is like the person without shoes. I should have felt grateful that I haven’t lost my feet.

1.How did the author feel when she decided not to buy the skirt?

A. Embarrassed. 　　　　　　　 B. Wise.

C. Relieved. 　　　　　　　　　　 D. Regretful.

2.The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A. the author’s friend 　　 　 B. the author

C. the author’s roommate D. a stranger

3.Why was the author touched by what she saw in the mirror?

A. She didn’t feel at ease when looking into a mirror.

B. She was reminded of her devotion to beauty.

C. She came to realize what she really possessed.

D. She never thought over the other side of a person.

4.We can learn from the text that the author considered her love for beautiful clothes as ________.

A. natural 　　 B. funny 　　 C. silly　　 D. simple

When Abraham Lincoln was young, he worked in a store. One day a woman came into the store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.

The bill was paid, and the woman was entirely satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling

quite sure as to the accuracy of his calculations, added up the things again. To his surprise he found that it should have been but two dollars.

“ I’ve made her pay six and a quarter cents more, ”said Abe, disturbed.

It was an unimportant thing, and many clerks would have forgotten it, but Abe was too conscientious for that.

“ The money must be paid back, ”he decided.

At night, he closed the store, and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.

Here is another story of young Lincoln’s strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young clerk weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day.

The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales. It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale of the previous night, and so, of course, given his customers short weight. I am afraid that there are many country merchants who would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out the balance of the half pound, shut up the store, and carried it to the defrauded customer. I think my young readers will begin to see that the name so often given, in later times to President Lincoln, of “Honest Old Abe, ”was well deserved. A man who begins by strict honesty in his youth is not likely to change as he grows older, and mercantile honesty is some guarantee of political honesty.

1.We know from the text that Abe .

A. charged less for the woman

B. tricked the woman on purpose

C. was careful and responsible

D. was confident of his calculations

2.From the underlined sentence, we can see that the author .

A. speak highly of Abraham Lincoln

B. learns how to succeed in the political field

C. comes to understand the importance of honesty

D. hopes to give readers some personal suggestions

3.What does the author mainly intend to tell us?

A. Better late than never.

B. Honesty is the best policy.

C. A good name is better than gold.

D. Where there is a will there is a way.

4.The author develops his idea mainly .

A. by reasoning　　 B. by making comparisons

C. by giving examples　　 D. by recalling what he had seen

The other day I was shopping at the local Chinese grocery store. There was a line at the fish counter, but only one staff person was there to take care of the customers. Some customers ordered quite an amount of fish for that staff person to work on. At last I was the second in line. All I wanted was a couple of crabs and should get out of there in no time.

Noticing it was very busy at the fish counter, another staff person came over to help. I was ready to be served, but the staff person went to the end of the line and began to help a couple of ladies with snail (蜗牛). The customers in front of me, being served, turned around and looked at me sympathetically and the customer behind me called to the staff person, “You should start here,” pointing at me. He was, well, ignored.

If someone asked me, “What is the most important rule to follow in America?” I would reply without hesitation. “Wait your turn at all times.” Wherever you go here in this country, you will find people waiting in a line quietly to get anything: whether in the supermarkets, department stores, bus stops, or gas stations, it’s just a matter of waiting your turn. In a larger sense, “wait your turn” is more than just a guideline — it is a very basic rule that reflects the fundamental value of the western cultures. But in some situations your turn does not always come based on when you get there and how long you have waited in line, just like my case at the store. Even though this did not often happen, it did make me feel upset.

1.What happened to the author at the store?

A.He was ill-treated by a customer. B.He wasn’t served upon his order.

C.He was asked to be served later. D.He was asked to do others a favor.

2.What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.His belief. B.His culture.

C.His experience. D.His rule.

3.Why did the author write the text?

A.To emphasize his kindness to others. B.To introduce some western cultures to us.

C.To express his belief and his feeling. D.To show his disbelief in Queuing Rule.
