I want to tell you a story about myself at the airport. I wanted to fly to France with my family on vacation. Before we took the plane, we had to go through the metal detector (金属探测仪) at the airport. When I walked through it, the alarm rang.

“Come here, young man.” said the guard at the airport. “Take everything out of your pockets. ” So I took my wallet out and put it on the table. Then I walked through the metal detector again. This time, the alarm didn’t ring. My mother said that maybe there was something made of metal in my wallet, but I didn’t think so. Anyway, we got on the plane successfully and flew to France. The trip was great and I had a good time there.

When we went to the airport in France to fly home, I got into trouble again. When I went through the metal detector, the alarm rang again. I was surprised, so I asked the guard about it. “Let me see what’s in your wallet,” said the guard. So I took out everything out of my wallet. “This one is made of metal,” said the guard, pointing at the pen I bought last week.

1.Did the writer go through the metal detector successfully for the first time?

_____________________________________________________________________________

2.Where did the writer go on his vacation?

_____________________________________________________________________________

3.What stopped the writer from going through the metal detector?

Today, I want to tell you some stories from my life. The first story is about connecting the dots(小圆点). Reed College, the college I attended, offered perhaps the best calligraphy(书法) lessons in the country. Calligraphy was attractive to me, so I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I didn’t hope for any real use of this in my life. It was just a hobby. But ten years, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me.

You might be very confused about the meaning of what you are doing now. But you have to believe the dots will somehow connect in the future. Every effort you make is worth the price. It will pay off in the end. This belief has never let me down, and it has made all the differences in my life.

My second story is about love and loss. Woz and I started Apple in a garage when I was 20. But later, I got fired(解雇). How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, it just happened. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was so hard for me.

But it turned out to be the best thing that could have ever happened to me. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

I’m pretty sure if I hadn’t been fired from Apple, I wouldn’t become who I am now. The loss completed me. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. What’s more, you have to find out what you love. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. You’ll know when you find it.

1.Jobs told us _____ stories in the passage.

A. one B. two C. three D. four

2.In the first paragraph, we can find EXCEPT “_____”.

A. When Jobs designed the first computer many years later, he used his calligraphy.

B. Jobs was interested in calligraphy when he was at college.

C. It was just a hobby for Jobs to learn the calligraphy.

D. Jobs wanted to be an artist when he was young.

3.Jobs believes _____.

A. every effort we make is worth the price

B. the dots will never connect in the future

C. what we are doing is probably useless

D. the thing we’re doing may not pay off

4.The belief has never made Jobs _____.

A. satisfied B. pleased C. sad D. happy

5.The underlined word “brick” in the last paragraph probably means _____.

A. something soft B. something hard

C. something light D. something different

Do you want to know any funny stories about Halloween? Let me tell you.

Long ago, people thought black cats were symbols (象征) of bad luck. In the Dark Ages (欧洲中世纪) witches were very common. And they had evil magic power. When they went out, they would take cats with them. So people believed that black cats meant bad luck. However, nowadays, in most parts of the UK, people think it’s actually good luck for a black cat to cross your path. Fortunately, through centuries, those poor little things probably don’t even care about it.

The tradition of the Jack o’ Lantern comes from a story about a boy called Jack. He made the devil (恶魔) angry, so he had to live forever in the hell (地狱). But he didn’t give up. He tried to use the turnip (萝卜) to make a lantern and guide himself out of the hell.

People believe that, on Halloween, the gap between our world and the ghost (鬼) world is thinnest, so the ghosts of the dead could mingle(混合) with the living. In order to fool them and make them believe we’re one of them, we put on all kinds of scary costumes. So the ghosts won’t take our souls away, and we can protect ourselves. But nowadays, “Trick or treat” is a modern custom and children like it very much. They will dress up in costumes and go from house to house to ask for treats like candies or toys. If they can’t get any treats, they might play a trick on the owners of the house.

1.People thought　　　　 long ago.

A. black cats meant good luck

B. black cats meant bad luck

C. witches were kind

D. witches weren’t common

2.Why did Jack have to live forever in the hell?

A. Because he liked crying.

B. Because he broke a lantern.

C. Because he liked the turnip.

D. Because he made the devil angry.

3.What does the underlined word “costumes” probably mean?

A. 想法　　 B. 服装　　 C. 咒语　　 D. 传说

4.　　　　　 is especially liked by children.

A. Playing with white cats

B. Making a lantern

C. “Trick or treat”

D. Playing with black cats

5.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Funny Stories about Halloween

B. Christmas Day

C. Scary Stories about My School Day

D. Easter Day

I love to tell the story about how I met my best friend---- Tiger. We met at the school fair. Each year, all the fourth-grade classes hold a school fair. Everyone in the fourth-grade works at the fair. Some sell ice cream, drinks and snacks. Others take care of the little children who ride the rides.

I got the second job and I’ve never regretted it, because that’s where I met Tiger.

My job was to help little children get on the back of a little horse. I kept telling the children to wait their turn and holding ice cream for them while they rode about. One thing was clear to me. I was growing older and should be more responsible.

Suddenly, a boy came to the horse. He took the little horse’s reins! The horse stopped, and the girl on its back started to fall. I was trying to reach the girl when I saw Tiger go by my legs. It held the horse’s reins and pulled the horse away from my legs. I caught the girl just before we both hit the ground. The girl sat on top of me. She was laughing at the ice cream on my face. The horse’s reins were in Tiger’s mouth!

Thanks to Tiger’s fast action, I saved the little girl. We were both heroes. And Tiger, the fastest dog I’ve even known became my new best friend.
