四、阅读理解（本题有2节，共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）

第一节：阅读下列材料并做后面的题目，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Last week the manager of an old jeweler’s shop received a letter marked “personal”, so of course his secretary gave it to him unopened. As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk till tea-time. Then he opened it and a ￡10 note fell out onto his desk. With the note was a short letter. This is what it said:

Dear Sir,

In 1935 I got engaged. But unfortunately at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I lost my job. I was six months without a job and then I got work again. But of course was very short of money. I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring. The assistant brought some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment, and I put one of the rings in my pocket. When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girl-friend’s finger. So I left the shop without buying a ring.

My wife died a short while ago and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience (良心) all these years. At the time the ring cost ￡2 so I reckon (估计) that is about ￡10 at today’s price. And I am sending you that amount.

Yours truly,

A customer

“Well, well, well,” said the manager, “life is full of surprises!”

46. Why didn’t the secretary open the letter? Because _______.

A. he was very busy B. it was a personal letter

C. there was a ￡10 note in it D. the letter was unimportant

47. What was true about the assistant?

A. She lost her job.

B. She was short of money.

C. She was called away while serving the customer.

D. She put one of the rings in her pocket.

48. What happened to the writer of the letter in 1935?

A. He married a girl. B. He was out of work for six months and short of money.

C. He lost a ring. D. His parents died.

49. The best headline for this article would be _______.

A. A Customer Pays His Bill B. An Old Jeweler’s Shop

C. The Manager and the Letter D. A Letter with ￡2

B

“I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Li Ping, a middle school student in Hunan. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes?

One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choices of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.

So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents don’t call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility (责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.
