The boss of the restaurant told him several times to go away，but the boy could not leave the wonderful smell. At last, the cook came out of the restaurant. Taking hold of his arm, he declared that the boy had been feeding upon the smell of their food. He asked the boy to pay half the price of a meal. The poor fellow said that he neither could nor would pay.At that moment, a police happened to pass. He said to the boy, "You have been feasting one of senses with the good smell of this man's meat, you should satisfy one of his senses. How much money do you have?""I have only two pence in all the world, sir and I must buy some bread.""Never mind," answered the policeman, "Take your two pence between your hands. Now rattle them loudly."The boy did so, and the officer, turning to the cook, said, "Now, sir, I think he had paid you the smell of your delicious food. The smell of your food rewarded his nostrils（鼻孔）and the sound of his money rewarded your ears."This decision gave more satisfaction to the bystanders than to the cook, but it was the only payment he could get.(1) The cook asked the boy to give him some money for feeding on the smell of the food.A：TB：F答案：A(2) The boy reported what happened to the police in the police station.A：TB：F答案：B(3) The police asked the boy to make noises with the two pence.A：TB：F答案：A(4) The cook finally got some money.A：TB：F答案：B(5) The policeman was not satisfied with the solution.A：TB：FPassage 2A foreigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush - often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don't, waiters will hurry you.You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else "wasting" it beyond a certain courtesy point.The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called "a short fuse." We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return - be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a caféor coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.(1) Which of the following statements is wrong? ___________A：Americans seem to be always under pressure.B：Americans attach less importance to patience.C：Americans don't care much about ritual socializing.D：Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.答案：D(2) In the fourth paragraph, "a high priority" means ___________.A：a less important thingB：a first concernC：a good businessD：an attractive gift(3) Americans evaluate a business colleague ________.A：through social courtesyB：through prolonged business talksC：by establishing business relationsD：by learning about their past performance答案：D(4) This passage mainly talks about __________.A：how Americans treasure their timeB：how busy Americans are every dayC：how Americans do business with foreignersD：what American way of life is like答案：A(5) We can infer from the passage that the author's tone in writing is ________.A：criticalB：ironicalC：praisefulD：objective答案：C三、词汇与语法1、The boy is not happy at the new school.
