The measure of man's real character is
what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
—Thomas Macaulay Some thirty years
ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nanette
O'Neill gave an arithmetic{{U}} (36) {{/U}}to our class. When the papers
were{{U}} (37) {{/U}}she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly
the{{U}} (38) {{/U}}mistakes throughout the test. There
is nothing really new about{{U}} (39) {{/U}}in exams. Perhaps that was
why Mrs. O'Neill{{U}} (40) {{/U}}even say a word about it. She only
asked the twelve boys to{{U}} (41) {{/U}}after class. I was one of the
twelve. Mrs O'Neill asked{{U}} (42) {{/U}}questions, and
she didn't{{U}} (43) {{/U}}us either. Instead, she wrote on the
blackboard the{{U}} (44) {{/U}}words by Thomas Macaulay. She then
ordered us to{{U}} (45) {{/U}}these words into our exercise-books one
hundred times. I don't{{U}} (46) {{/U}}about the other
eleven boys. Speaking for{{U}} (47) {{/U}}I can say. it was the most
important single{{U}} (48) {{/U}}of my life. Thirty years after being{{U}}
(49) {{/U}}to Macaulay's words, they{{U}} (50) {{/U}}seem to
me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a{{U}} (51) {{/U}}to
measure ourselves rather than others. {{U}} (52)
{{/U}}of us are asked to make{{U}} (53) {{/U}}decisions about
nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called{{U}}
(54) {{/U}}daily to make a great many personal decisions.{{U}}
(55) {{/U}}the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket{{U}}
(56) {{/U}}turned over to the policeman? Should the{{U}} (57)
{{/U}}change received at the store be forgotten or{{U}} (58) {{/U}}?
Nobody will know except{{U}} (59) {{/U}}. But you have to live with
yourself, and it is always{{U}} (60) {{/U}}to live with someone you
respect.

单选题Mrs. Keller had a big family. Her husband had a factory in the town. One of her sons was a lawyer and the other two were drivers. And her two daughters worked in the post office. The old woman stayed at home and could do all housework and wouldn"t employ anybody.
One evening, the telephone rang while the old woman was preparing supper. She went to answer it. She was told that one of her sons died in a traffic accident. She heard this and fell in a faint(晕倒). When she came back to life, she was in hospital. And she needed to be helped after that.
Several months later she was told on the telephone her daughter died while she was being operated on. The old woman was so sad that she had to be in hospital again. From then on she was afraid to answer any telephones and sometimes she was afraid to hear the bell. Of course it brought them some trouble and some important business was held up(耽误). So her husband advised her to see a psychiatrist(精神病医生). The man examined her carefully and then asked her some questions.
"You"ll soon be all right if you follow my advice, Mrs. Keller, "said the psychiatrist.
The old woman took the medicine the doctor gave on time and tried to forget her dead son and daughter. And two months later she went to see the psychiatrist again.
"You"ve saved me , Doctor , "the old woman said, as soon as she saw him.
"Are you afraid to answer the telephones now?"
"No," answered Mrs. Keller. "I dare(敢)answer it whether it rings or not!"

单选题 Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly?
Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurant for these
reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners — a small restaurant — for
these reasons. In fact, many people in the States go to diners today for the
same reasons. A man named Walter Scott had the first "diner" in
1872. It wasn't really a diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street
walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late night workers who
wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled
eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the
customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built
diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.
Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words,
people were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too.
The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup,
favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent
buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels. Diners today
look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with
large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and
tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner. Today, many
people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's and Burger King. However,
the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy
eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular
today.
