There was an American writer who often told such a story to his friends and readers:

It was an exhibition of the artists’ works organized by the Red Cross. I was invited as a special guest to take part in the exhibition. During this period, two cute girls of 16 or 17 years old came to me and asked for my signature(签名).

“I haven’t brought my pen. Is the pencil okay?” I asked. In fact I knew they wouldn’t refuse. I just wanted to show a well-known writer’s good manners to the common readers.

“Certainly,” the young girls readily agreed. I could see they were very excited. Of course, their excitement also made me more pleased with myself. One of the girls handed her notebook to me. I took out my pencil, wrote a few words of encouragement, and signed my name. The girl read my signature, frowned(皱眉), looked at me carefully and asked, “Aren’t you Robert Charboss?”

“NO,”I told her proudly, “I’m the author of Alice Adams, the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes.”

The young girl turned to another one, and said, “Mary, lend your eraser to me.”

At the moment, all my pride turned into a bubble (泡沫) immediately. Since then, I always warn(告诫)myself：Don’t think too highly of yourself even though you are so outstanding（杰出的）.

1.The writer went to the exhibition because he ________.

2.We can infer that the two girls were the fans of________.

3.The underlined sentence “all my pride turned into a bubble immediately” means that the writer ________.

4.This story teaches us to be a(an)________person.

I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, “I’m having a dinner party” means “I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can’t afford and we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat.”

Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout “Where are you going?” And it’s not like I can say I have somewhere to go : everyone knows I have nowhere to go.

But in London, dinner parties are in people’s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is less striking. It’s like a gathering at Bloomingdale’s, a well-known department store.

For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery’s, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.

1.What does the word “shot” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Choice.           B．Try.              C．Style.             D．Goal.

2.What does the author dislike most about dinner parties in New York?

A．There is a strange mix of people.            B．The restaurant are expensive.

C．The bill is not fairly shared.                D．People have to pay cash.

3.What does the author think of the parties in London?

A．A bit unusual.                          B．Full of tricks.

C．Less costly.                            D．More interesting.

4.What is the author’s opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?

A．Easygoing..                            B．Self-centred.

C．Generous.                             D．Conservative.

5.What is the main idea of this article?

A．The author hated dinner parties.

B．The author prefer dinner parties in London to those in New York.

C．The difference between London and New York.

D．Mallery invited the author to a party.

Ben and his wife Susan were on their way to have dinner with their friends. It was a dark，windy night, and they did not know the way very well. They drove through a town until they found what they thought was the road to Dorling，where their friends lived. But it soon became clear that they were not on the road to Dorling at all.

Just then，Ben saw a telephone box，twenty meters or so further on. While he walked back along the road to see if there was a name outside the church，Susan telephoned their friends and told them that they were still on their way.

Their friends were just saying that the dinner was already getting rather cold，when Ben came back to the telephone box，his head down against the wind.

Last evening, I went to a teahouse with my best friends Susan. Before the tea was serving, we talked to each other happily. When the waiter came to us with the tea, we didn't see him. Unfortunately, Susan raises her hand to comb her hair just when the waiter bent to put the plate on the table. Her hand hit on the cup, and the tea was spattered (溅洒)on her trousers. In my surprise, instead complaining, Susan smiled, “So lucky that it's not on my white shirt, and I can't even clean it.”His words were very inspired. We couldn't foresee what would happen, but looking at it in a positive way could make we always happy.
