Have you ever done something stupid (not clever) that made you feel so embarrassed(尴尬的) that you wish you could just disappear？Well, that’s exactly how I feel, one cold Saturday morning last 16 .I had gone to town to do some 17 , and as I was walking through the park on my way home to the shop it suddenly began to rain. I immediately rushed into a 18 phone box since I didn’t have an umbrella. It was raining heavily, and it was one ofthose short autumn showers that don’t last long, 19 I decided to stay in the phone box until it stopped.A few moments later, I saw a young man walk up to the phone box, 20 a yellow raincoat and holding a tool box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain, so I picked up the phone and pretended (假装) that I was talking to 21 . He just waited in the heavy rain, watching me wave my hands about acting as if I was deep in conversation.Luckily, it began to stop after about 10 minutes “Okay, Mum,” I said 22into the phone, “I’ll see you later. Bye!” I put the phone down, 23 my shopping bag and stepped out of the phone box. “ I’m sorry I took so long,” I said to the man.“Oh, I don’t want to use the phone, madam,” he replied with a big smile on his face. “I’ve just come to 24 it.

AWhen I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was s uch a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.26. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.A. relaxedB. worriedC. hungryD. proud27.

For a long time he had looked forward to getting a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well afford it, so he told him that was all he wanted.Then on the morning of his graduation(毕业), his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box. Surprised, the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible(圣经), with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then rushed out of the house, leaving the Bible.Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements(安排), he received a phone telling him his father had passed away. He had to come home immediately and take care of the things that his father left him.When he began to search through his father’s important papers, he saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag(标牌) dropped from the back of the Bible.

Health.DLondon’s Chinese community(社区) dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limhouse, east London. As time went on, other Chinese people came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as “Chinatown”. However,London’s Chinese community remained very small for many years: at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled（定居）in a different area—a part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.At first, the new immigrants（移民）found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.As time went by, London’s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the o riginal restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.41. When did the first Chinese immigrants come to London?A.
