My husband, Micheal, and I were at a restaurant with his boss, a rather stern(严厉的) elderly man. When Micheal began a story I was sure he had told before, I gave him a kick under the table. There was no response, so I gave him another kick. Still the story went on. Suddenly he stopped and said with a smile, “Oh, but I’ve told you this one before, haven’t I ?” We all chuckled and changed the subject.

Later, on the dance floor, I asked my husband why it had taken him so long to get my message. “What do you mean?” he replied. “I cut off the story as soon as you kicked me.”

“But I kicked you twice, and it still took you a while to stop!”

Suddenly we realized what had happened and returned to our table. The boss smiled and said, “Don’t worry. After the second one I thought it wasn’t for me, so I passed it along!”

1.The writer kicked her husband because __________.

2.What can be inferred from the text?

3.They all chuckled because __________.

4.It took Micheal so long to stop his story because __________.

One day Robin went with his family to eat in a restaurant. They were sitting at a table and waiting for their meal. Suddenly, everyone around them started to cover their noses. Some of them even left their tables and went away.

When Robin’s family turned around to see what had caused this, they saw two homeless boys. The boys looked dirty and smelled bad. But both boys were smiling and had beautiful blue eyes. They were looking for someone kind. One of the boys went to the counter and he counted the coins he had. The other boy looked sick and he stood quietly.

The young lady at the counter asked the boy what they wanted. He said, “We only want a cup of coffee. “ That was all they could afford. They wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up. It was really cold outside. But to sit inside the restaurant, they had to buy something.

When Robin’s mother saw this, she wanted to help the boys. She ordered some more food. Then she went to the two boy’s table. She put the food on the table.

Our neighbour’s son was getting married at an out-of-town church, and my husband and I were invited. We immediately rushed out to a store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and that would be all right for me.

June 29 came and, of course, I hadn’t lost a single pound; in fact I had gained two. But I thought a nice new girdle (紧身衣）would cure everything. So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a size large party girdle. The clerk found the box with the describe girdle marked “LG", and asked if I would like to try it on. “Oh, no, a large will fit just right. I needn’t try it on.”

The next morning was rather hot, one of those thirty-four-degree days, I suppose, so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. I popped open the box only to find a new girdle in a small size. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn't fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potato into a five-pound bag? That’s it. Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it. At once I put on the pink dress, which didn't go very well with my red face, and was ready to go.

Finally we got to the church. I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass., turned to my husband and asked, “What is a High Mass?*' he shrugged his shoulders .

Unfortunately, I learned that this particular mass would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest (神甫)was going to bless everything except my girdle.

1.Why didn't the writer buy a loose dress?

A. Because she was too thin.

B. Because it was too hot then.

C. Because she thought she could become a little thin within a month.

D. Because a tight one was a little cheaper.

2.What does the writer want to express by saying “Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potato into a five-pound bag”？

A. How difficult it was to shake 20 pounds of potato into a five-pound bag

B. The difficulty I had in patting on the tight dress.

C. How foolish I was to put on such tight dress.

D. How foolish I was to put so many potatoes in such a bag.

3.Which word can be best described the author?

A. optimistic (乐观的）　　 B. beautiful

C. ugly　　 D. careless

We arrived at the hospital only to find Dad weak, but his smile was as sure as ever. My husband and I had to work, so our relatives would help him get home from the hospital and look after him. But I wanted Dad to know that we cared about him, too, even when we weren’t with him.

Then I remembered a family tradition (传统) when our children were small. When leaving their grandparents’ home, each child would write a love note for their grandparents to find after we were gone. They hid notes in the food box, or even in the fridge. For days their grandparents would smile as they discovered these notes of the children’s love.

So as I cleaned Dad’s room downstairs before he got home, I began writing notes. Some showed my love. Most notes were in his room downstairs where he would be able to find, but one note was hidden upstairs under his pillow. “Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”

My notes were a reminder (提醒的事物) of our love for Dad. Just like his medicines made him better physically (身体上), these would improve his mental (精神的) health. Several weeks later, I made a phone call to Dad and asked what he was doing. He said, “I’ll tell you what I’m doing. I am just reading the note you left under my pillow upstairs!”

64. Which of the following did the author NOT do for her father?

A. Writing notes.            B. Driving her father home.

C. Making phone calls.       D. Helping to clean her father’s room.

65.  The underlined word “these” (in Paragraph 4) refers to “______”.

A. medicines                   B. the relatives’ care and help

C. notes                           D. delicious foods

66. The author hid most notes _____.

A. in Dad’s room downstairs         B. in the food box

C. in the fridge                   D. under Dad’s pillow upstairs

67. From the passage we can know the author’s notes couldn’t ______.

A. show her love for Dad             B. make Dad remember something

C. make Dad healthier mentally            D. improve Dad’s physical health
