I graduated from university several years ago and now I am a university English teacher. Last week my department sent me to the airport to meet a visiting American professor. When I met him at the airport he had two heavy suitcases and some smaller bags. He was an older man, in his sixties I think, and we couldn’t find a luggage cart, so I wanted to help him with his luggage. Several times I offered to take one of the heavy suitcases for him, and each time he insisted that he could carry the suitcases himself. However, he seemed to be having some difficulty moving both of the suitcases, so at one point when we stopped and he put the suitcases down, I just picked one up. When I picked up the suitcases he said “I can handle these myself“, but I thought he was just being polite so I went off toward the van with the suitcase. However, when we got to the van he seemed annoyed with me, and he hardly spoke at all to me the whole way to our school. Why did he get upset with me? Was it wrong to try to help him with his luggage?
M:What is it about? Oh,is it about Ed?
W: Yeah, sort of...
M: So, what's up?
W: What do you think of Ed, Jack?
M: What do I think of him? You know him better than I do, don't you?
W: Please, don't tease me. Just tell me.
M: Well, remember the other day when you said that Ed is a man who really shows you nothing but consideration ?
W: Uh-hunh ...
M: And remember you said that he really makes you happy?
W: Yeah. Ed is indeed a gentleman. He has wonderful manners and is respectful of me. But I'm really bothered by his past!
M: His past!? Was he an ex-con or something?
W: No, no, no. That's not what I mean. He used to have a girlfriend and he loved her very much. He almost married her if it were not for an accident.
M: Oh, I see. But why are you so bothered? That's already a history, isn't it?
W: I know. But I just can't get it off my mind.
M: Come on, Mary. You're just being a little jealous, but that's just fine. You know, when you love him, you've got to love his past, his everything ... You've got to love him as a whole.
Who is the man they are talking about?
A.Mary's friend.
B.ED's girlfriend.
C.Mary's boyfriend.
D.Jack's girlfriend.

I suppose when you grow up in one place, you have friends whom you’ve known since childhood. But as a child who moved a lot, my oldest friendships are with my cousins.
On our return from Guam, my parents, sisters and I walked off the plane in Alexandria. All my cousins were there to meet us.
I was excited to see them again. The last time I’d seen Don, Sherri and David was two years before. That summer we’d caught fireflies(萤火虫) and watched Don and his friends play a game. Some boys acted like a bull(公牛) with a rope(绳子). His friend held the rope and Don rode on it. When Don fell off, he got up and tried again.
Just like riding that bull, Don put his heart into everything he did. As a young man he was told he got cancer(癌症). But he fought it and never gave up. Like what he did that summer, he held tight(紧紧地) , falling off a few times and trying again. I was excited and proud of my cousin for planning and going after his dream. I wished his ride would have lasted longer.

听力原文:I: What made you take off to the country ill the first place, Tom?
T: Well, I suppose anyone who moves to the country wants their life to be different in some way. I mean, if you have always lived in a city, something must happen to make you want to move. In my case, I just couldn't face going back into an office again when it came to looking for a new job.
I: So you began thinking about the country?
T: No, at first I just thought about getting a different kind of work, social work with kids or old people.
I: And what happened? Why didn't you?
T: I haven't got any right diplomas, and it would have taken me two years to be qualified. I was not going back to formal education again.
I: So where did you decide to move?
T: I went right to Shropshire. The first problem though was how I could make a living — there are fewer jobs in the country, so I decided to start up on my own.
I: That's ambitious. How did you start, had you got any skills?
T: I'd always had a garden and grown some vegetables and flowers, so I thought of a small holding, a kind of farm. But when I looked at the price, I changed my mind.
I: Ok, a farm's out, so what next?
T: I settled on a nursery and bought my way into a partnership...
I: Well, ladies and gentlemen, don't go away — we are coming back to Tom's story after the advertisements.
Why did Tom go to live in the country?
A.Because he liked working with children.
B.Because he lost his job.
C.Because he hated the city.
D.Because he wanted to be a farmer.
In the playground Bob showed me the watch. He put it on his wrist, and it looked love ly. I wished I had been the one to sit by the table. It was really a beautiful watch, gold by the look of it. The headmaster came outside then, and the doctor was with him. They walked about, looking around and talking all the time. After a while the bell rang, and we got into our lines, ready to go in.
The headmaster said, "I've got a little job for boys. This doctor, who was giving us a talk just now, has lost his watch in the playground. It happened before, he says- it just slips off his wrist. So look around for it, will you? See if you're clever enough to find it. I promise that the boy who does so will get a useful reward."
Of course, Bob was not going to miss a chance like that. He's just about the luckiest boy in the school rewards just drop into his hands. We all walked about the playground, looking here and there for the watch. And I wasn't at all surprised when Bob bent down as if he was picking something up. Then he hurried past me towards the doctor.
"Where are you going?" I called out, though I knew very well where he was going. The next minute there was Bob, all smiles, handing over the watch to the old doctor and hanging about for the reward.
But the doctor did not seem at all pleased. In fact he looked quite ready to thrust (插入) a knife in Bob's heart-until the headmaster burst out laughing. Bob told me later the old man hadn't even said "Thank you" for the watch.
The thing that puzzled us most of all was that Bob didn't get any reward. When he mentioned to the headmaster about k, the old man said, "Ah, yes, we mustn't forget that. I said ' a useful re ward' , didn't I?" Then he gave Bob a big sheet of paper and told him to write a composition on the harm of smoking. Bob says he hasn't got any idea of what to write.
While the doctor was talking about the harm to smoking, the two boys were______.
A.not thinking about anything
B.thinking about the harm of smoking
C.thinking about the watch and how to get it, perhaps
D.thinking that the headmaster was very clever
