阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分， 满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.

In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).

Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions. Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.

Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.

What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.

When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face felt warm.

“Correct,” she said.

It turned out that the correct answer was zero.

What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.

If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.

Cops and criminals have always played a cat and mouse game of chase. But what if the cat pretends to be one of its own enemies and a mouse does the opposite? It could be a thrilling but dangerous game.

This is what Billy Costigan and Colin Sullivan do in the new Hollywood film, “The Departed.” It opened in Hong Kong and the US last Friday and will arrive on the Chinese mainland later this year. The movie is set in Boston, where the police have been fighting against Irish-American organized crime. Young undercover (卧底) cop Billy is sent to infiltrate (混入) the mob (匪帮) group run by Frank Costello. Billy quickly gains Costello's trust. At the same time Colin Sullivan, a young criminal who has infiltrated the police department, is rising to a position of power in the Special Investigation Unit. He works as an informer for Costello. Each man struggles with his double life, finding out information about the criminal or police plans. But suddenly it becomes clear to both the mob group and the police that there's a spy among them. Billy and Colin are suddenly in danger of being found out by the enemy. Each must race to discover who the other man is in time to save himself.

Don't be surprised if the plot sounds familiar to you. “The Departed” is based on the 2002 Hong Kong hit film “Infernal Affairs”(《无间道》). But, writer William Monahan said he hadn't seen “Infernal Affairs”. He used a translation of the Chinese script. “My film is all about the engine of tragedy that is started when people depart from what they really should be doing with their lives?” said Monahan. Besides its plot, the careful exploration of the nature of good and evil raises “The Departed” above the typical Hollywood cop story. Billy came up from the streets of Boston. He wants to do things differently from the way his family did. However, he is asked to go undercover and pretend to be the very thing he was determined not to become.

In a way, however, Colin is an even more tragic character. He accepted a false set of values taught by Costello when he was young and truly believes he will get away with everything.
