I’m seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them. And carried things to their cars. It was hard work.

While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said,“Mr Castle, how are you?"We talked about this and that. As he left, he said,“It was nice talking to you, Brett."I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didn?t remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put“Irving"down on my name plate. If he?d have said,“Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?"I d have been ready for him. There?s nothing personal here.

The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: you couldn?t accept tips(小費). Okay, I?m outside and

 I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction(反應)is to take a quarter and give it to me. I?d say,“I?m ?sorry,? I can’t."They’d get angry. When you give someone a tip, you?re sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say,“Oh,thanks a lot."When you say,“I'm sorry, I can't."They feel a little put down.They say,“No one will know."And they put it in your pocket. You say,“I really can’t."It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically(身體上)to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store?s belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just could?t understand the strangeness of some people?s ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.

I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.

1.What can be the best title for this text?

A.How Hard Life for Box Boys 

B.Getting along with Customers

C.Why I Gave up My Job

D.The Art of Taking Tips 

2.From the second paragraph, we can infer that _______ .

A.the writer didn’t like the impersonal part of his job

B.with a name plate, people can easily start talking

C.Mr Castle mistook Irving for Brett

D.Irving was the writer?s real name 

3.The box boy refused to accept tips because _______.

A.customers only gave small tips

B.some customers had strange ideas about tipping

C.the store forbade the box boys to take tips

D.he didn’t want to fight with the customers 

4.The underlined phrase“put down"in the third paragraph probably means _______.

A.misunderstood         B.defeated         C.hateful         D.hurt

Recently, one of my best friends, whom I’d shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we’d both always looked forward to the few times a year when we could see each other.

Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how she experimented with drugs and was into other bad habits. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents because they didn’t want her around him.

I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. But she didn’t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared. I just couldn’t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang out with such a loser.

By the time she left, I was really worried about her. It had been so discouraging, and I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship—but I didn’t. I put the power of friendship to the ultimate(最終的)test. We’d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer (克服)anything.

A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation,and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend.I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life.

Never had I been so proud of a friend.

1.From the beginning of the text,we can learn that the author     .

A.lost touch with the girl several years ago.

B.used to spend weekends with the girl.

C.moved to the same town as the girl.

D.kept in touch with the girl.

2.It can be inferred that the girl       .

A.knew she was in danger.                  B.took the author seriously.

C.lost hope of a bright future.                D.used to quarrel with her parents.

3.What’s the author’s purpose in telling the story?

A.To show the power of friendship.

B.To describe the troubles of friendship.

C.To tell the necessity of trusting friends.

D.To tell the importance of keeping up with friends.

It must have been around nine o'clock when I drove back home from work because it was already dark. As I came near to the gates I turned off the head lights of the car so as to prevent the beam from swinging (擺動) through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me. But I needn't have done so. I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway—unless he had fallen asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps.

Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack's room. He was in bed awake, but he didn't even turn towards me.

“What's up, Jack﹖” I asked.

“For God's sake, don't make a noise,” he said.

The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself serious injury.

“Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said.

I thought that he must be ill and that I had better give way to him to keep him happy. “There is a snake here,” he explained. “It's asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it.I knew that moving was out of the question. I could not have moved even I'd wanted to.” I realized that he was serious. “I was depending on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home,” Jack went on. “It has not bitten me yet but I dare not do anything to upset it. It might wake up. I'm sick of this,” he said.“I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.”

There was no time to argue or apologize for being late.I looked at him as encouraging as I could and went to telephone the doctor.

1.When he got home, Neville found that _____.

    A.Jack had fallen asleep while reading     B.Jack had been reading for some time

    C.Jack's light was not turned off          D.Jack was ready to answer the doctor

2.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 6 means _____.

    A.impossible     B.no problem       C.no doubt     D.without difficulty

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage﹖

    A.Neville and Jack lived in the same house.

    B.Neville thought that Jack had fallen ill.

    C.Neville really believed that Jack was not making a joke.

    D.Neville refused to argue or to make an apology for being late.

4.The reason why Neville thought that Jack must be ill is that Jack ____.

    A.a(chǎn)sked Neville to take off his shoes

    B.made a gesture to show the presence of the snake

    C.was afraid to upset the snake sleeping between the sheets

    D.behaved strangely as if he were badly hurt

5.According to the passage, Neville should have been home at ____.

    A.7 p.m.     B.8 p.m.     C.9 p.m.    D.6 p.m.
