I was on my way home from work, cutting through the Bryant Park. On that day, the sun seemed to set faster than usual, and suddenly I found myself walking in the dark. I was less than half a mile from my apartment, but the path would lead me over a bridge, across train tracks, and through an unlit underpass.
Then I heard him – a stranger running alongside me, partly obscured(遮掩) by the bushes. My mouth went dry; my legs felt like water. But I didn’t pick up my pace – instead, I stopped, turned, and faced him. He came out of the bushes and said he’d been watching me “for a long time”.
As he walked beside me, I guided us towards the edge of the park. When we reached the bridge, a train rumbled(轰鸣着缓慢行进) past, and he seized the moment, attacking me with a knife around my throat. The self-defense skills I had learned years before kicked in, and I pushed my finger into his eye, hard. And then came the shock: That didn’t frighten him away. My mind flashed back to a tip from an old guitar teacher: “Press the strings like you’re squeezing a flea(跳蚤).” I put all my strength into that finger, and finally he let go.
I was shaking with fear, but I looked him straight in the eye and began to back away. I turned to run the hell out of there, but then I remembered another self-defense lesson: Never run, because then you’re a target. So I walked away alone – through the dark tunnel as I dialed 911 with trembling fingers. If you ever find yourself in this situation, use these self-defense skills that you already know. They can really make all the difference to you.
1.Which of the following word best describes the author’s way home?
A.Well-traveled. B.Risky.
C.Boring. D.Well-protected.
2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 suggest?
A.The author was desperate to go home.
B.The author was exhausted and thirsty.
C.The author was in a state of fear.
D.The author’s legs were wet.
3.Which statement may the author agree with?
A.The man is a casual acquaintance of her.
B.She was guarded home by the police finally.
C.She might feel grateful for her self-defense skills.
D.The man injured his eye himself when making an attack.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.How I survived an attack B.Whether fortune smiles on me
C.What one should do when in danger D.Why self-defense skills are important

I was on my way home by train. The train’s gentle rocking made me feel sleepy, despite the fact that I was standing with what felt like a building in the bag on my back. I turned slightly to reduce some of the pain in my shoulder and saw the door at the end of the ear.
An obviously homeless man walked through the door. He was dressed in a dirty heavy coat. He dragged a bag that looked thirty times as heavy as mine. He asked people for spare change in the polite, experienced voice of a person who had done this before. I glanced down as I did a quick cheek of my pockets, hoping for spare change to give him that wouldn’t leave me short for the rest of the week. I came up empty and lifted my head just as his path crossed mine. Shrugging apologetically, I told him I had no change, expecting him to move through the door next to me and continue going to the next cars.
However, he stood and stared at me, saying something quietly. Then I realized he was asking me to take him home. Suddenly money didn’t matter that much to this man who lived in poverty without even think of the proper words to say besides “I can’t , I’m sorry.” He asked me , “What’s wrong with my request?” The answer was on my lips before I knew it. I told him that I was not good enough for him.
It was after the man had left that I thought about the answer I had given him and wondered why it felt so right to say so. I realized that I should have requested love over money or food. The fact that he could appreciate something so simple and invisible in more than I could ever have expected of myself.
1.When the author was sleepy and tired, he saw a homeless man on the train__________.
A. looking for his long-lost friend
B. asking people for spare clothes
C. begging passengers for some money
D. talking about his painful experience

A. Self-centered B. Kind-hearted
C. Hard-working D. Easy-going
3.To his surprise, the author found that the homeless man wanted________.
A. neither food nor money B. not money but love
C. neither money nor love D. both shelter and protection
4.What did the author learn from the man?
A. No place is more comfortable than home.
B. Friendship can bring two strangers closer.
