Kathy, my youngest sister, was crazy about my ________ habits.

She said it was ________. Wanda Lynne, on the other hand, was ________ to make me a courteous gentleman. Never mind that I was still years away from actually ________. Wanda Lynne wanted to make sure I would treat the girls I dated better than the boys she was dating were treating her. So she made me ________ doors for her every day and ________ me to walk on the inside closest to the road. She said it was courteous for me to do this.
Years later I went away to ________, and I remembered the things my ________ had taught me. One day in the university library, I ________ an older woman walking behind me, and I held the ________ open for her. “What’s the matter?” she asked, glaring at me. “Do you think that because I’m a woman, I’m not ________ enough to open a door for myself?” She rolled her ________ and shook her head. “Freshman,” she whispered, ________ past me. I decided that there would be no more door opening or chair holding or closest-to-the-traffic walking for me.
As I stood there, however, another upperclassman ________ the library door, her arms overloaded with textbooks. Instinctively I reached to open the door for her. “Thanks!” she said ________. “It’s nice to see we still have a few gentlemen around here!”

“It’s So Good” in French, was one of Eartha Mae Kitt’s first hit songs. But her childhood wasn’t so good. She was born into a poor family in South Carolina in nineteen twenty-seven. When Eartha was eight, her mother remarried. Her stepfather did not like her so she was sent to New York City to live with an aunt, who helped pay for her piano and dance lessons.
Eartha Kitt worked in a factory as a young teenager. But she kept up her dance lessons. One day she tried out for a famous African-American dance company. Soon, Eartha was performing in shows around the world with the Katherine Dunham Dance Troupe.
In Paris, Eartha left the dance company to sing in a nightclub. Her voice was very attracting. She learned French quickly and gained French fans. Soon the film director Orson Welles discovered Eartha Kitt singing in Paris. Welles asked her to play a lead part in a play he was directing. The play made her find her acting talent for the first time.

Then Eartha Kitt acted her first role in a film in nineteen fifty-seven in “Mark of the Hawk”. Kitt was very careful about choosing her roles in films. She refused parts that were not respectful to black people. In nineteen sixty-seven, Eartha Kitt got the part of Catwoman on the popular television series “Batman”. Fans loved the special way she said her “r”s to create a sound like a cat, which made her an unforgettable Catwoman.
She was strongly against the Vietnam War and in nineteen sixty-eight she became blacklisted (列入黑名单) in America. For about ten years, she could only find work in other countries. But that brought her a greater international achievement.

Fannie Cratty wasn’t really my aunt. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh and gave my mother cause to look angrily at both of us---at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse owned by Fannie Cratty. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fannie make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. Aunt Fannie was well known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive (and she lived to be ninety-six!), she never made the jam without Ms. Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.
Each August, when blueberry season would roll around, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie’s visit. It was vital that I should be on my best behavior. After all, the woman was old, wealthy, very strict with children. Whenever she was at the house, I didn’t need to be reminded to guard my thoughts and watch my tongue.
One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process, Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter(25分硬币) and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this quarter,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter, given to me by my grandfather.” It had obviously worked for her. So, I kept the 1938-quarter into a small box, put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. In people’s eye Aunt Fannie’s success was due to that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.
1.Paragraph 2 implies that my mother________.
A. used to forget the secret blueberry jam recipe
B. wanted to show off her excellent cooking skills
C. was unable to make the jam without Aunt Fannie’s direction
D. tried to convince Aunt Fannie that she would keep the secret
2.According to Paragraph 4, the author believed that Aunt Fanni was rich because________.
A. she had kept her first quarter
B. she had never wasted money
C. she had worked very hard
D. she had kept her promise
3.The author thinks that we can feel wealthy if we________.
A. share our wealth with others
B. have good fortune and money
C. know the secret of a jam recipe
D. own lasting love and friendship
4.Which would be the best title for this passage？
A. An old quarter B. Valuable Things
C. Blueberry Jam Recipe D. Memories of old time
