Hughie Erskine was in love. The girl he loved was Laura Merton, the daughter
of a retired army officer. They were the best-looking couple in London, and had not
a penny between them. Her father was very fond of Hughie, but would not hear of
any engagement.
“
Come to me, my boy, when you have got ten thousand pounds of your own,
and we will see about it,
”
he used to say; and Hughie looked very miserable in those
days.
One
morning
he
went
to
see
a
great
friend
of
his,
Alan
Trevor,
who
was
a
painter. When he came into the studio he found Trevor putting the finishing touches
to a wonderful life-size picture of a beggar-man. The beggar himself was standing
on a platform in a corner of the room. He was a dried up old man with a lined face
and a sad expression. Over his shoulder was thrown a rough brown coat, all torn and
full of holes. His thick boots were old and mended, and with one hand he leaned on
a rough stick, while with the other he held out his ancient hat for money.
“
Poor old fellow!
”
said Hughie.
“
How miserable he looks!
”

At that moment a servant came in and told Trevor that a man wanted to speak
to him. Trevor went out.
The old beggar-man sat down to rest for a moment. He looked so miserable that
Hughie pitied him, and felt in his pockets to see what money he had. All he could
find was a pound and some pennies.
“
Poor old fellow,
”
he thought to himself,
“
he
wants it more than I do, but I shan
’
t have much money myself for a week or two
”
;
and he walked across the room and slipped the pound into the beggar
’
s hand.
The old man jumped, and a faint smile passed across his old lips.
“
Thank you,
sir,
”
he said,
“
thank you.
”

That night Trevor told Hughie that the old
“
beggar
”
was Baron Hausberg, one
of the richest men in Europe, who had asked him a month before to paint him as a
beggar. He also said that he had told the old man all about the lovely Laura and the
ten thousand pounds.
The next morning, as he was at breakfast, an old gentleman brought Hughie a
letter
from
Baron
Hausberg.
On
the
envelope
was
written,
“
A
wedding
present
to
Hughie Erskine and Laura Merton, from an old beggar
”
, and inside was a cheque for
ten thousand pounds.

My husband was in the Royal Navy, stationed at the Port of Wilmington while
his ship was waiting to sail up the New York Harbor for the Bicentennial in 1976.
While in Wilmington a friend's mother met a bunch of the English sailors in a bar in
downtown Wilmington. They invited us onto the ship; she invited them for a
barbecue. We had a wonderful time. After they went to New York several of the
sailors got off and spent time on the train going back and forth from Wilmington to
visit their new found friends. Graham was one of them and after spending all the
time we could together he left with his ship. We kept in touch and I flew to England
to stay with his family at Christmas for two weeks and we were engaged, he came to
visit the following Easter and I went back the next August. That visit he broke up
with me and I flew back to the States in tears. A few years later he married in
England, I married in the States and we lead separate lives for 25 years.


I was married in 82, had a baby in 86 and was diagnosed with advanced stage
breast cancer 6 weeks after my daughter was born. I was 26 and was given a 5 %
chance to live 5 years. After a few years my marriage ended and I sent a letter to
Graham’s mother because I had never forgotten him and was getting in touch wi
th
important people and taking care of things you do when you think you are dying. It

took the letter awhile to catch up with his mother as she had moved several times
over the years. She gave the letter to Graham and he called me. He was married with
2 sons; one was the same age +4 days as my daughter. Over the years we talked on
the phone a few times and sent pictures and the occasional card.


I remarried in 92 and we lost touch until he called on New Years Eve of the
millennium.

Both of our marriages were ending for various reasons but we still
had an ocean between us and hadn’t seen each other for over 20 years. In August he
was coming to the States on business and stopped by to see me. It was as if we had
known each other forever and no time had passed with us apart. He came back over
several times to visit when he was over for business and we fell in love all over
again. He was transferred to Atlanta, GA. On 9/11 he drove straight from Atlanta to
Delaware to be with me and asked me to marry him that night. We were married on
Valentines Day 2002. I never let him forget (jokingly of course) that had he not
broken up with me we would have had 25 more years together than we have had. He
is definitely the love of my life.

C. 77








D. 92

When John and Victoria Church arrived in New York from London for one-year
stay,
they
brought
no
furniture
with
them.
They
had
planned
either
to
live
in
a
furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new way
of
furnishing
an
apartment
or
a
house
that
more
and
more
people
are
using.
The
renting
of
home
furnishing
(furniture,
dishes,
and
so
on)
has
become
one
of
America
’
s fastest growing businesses.
Why do people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? Many kinds

3
of
people:
international
businessmen,
government
officials,
airline
workers,
young
married
couple
s
…the
people

whose
job
or
business
may
force
them
to
move
frequently
from
one
city(or
country)
to
anothe
r
…find
they

can
rent
better
quality
furniture than they could afford to buy. Young people with little money do not want
to buy cheap furniture that they will soon grow to dislike. They prefer to wait until
they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they rent. And
people whose work takes them from place to place are saved the trouble and cost of
moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach
their new home.
One family, now settled in a large, beautiful home, liked their rented furniture
so much they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But they don
’
t
like to tell people about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new,
and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.

furnishings
instead

buying
them
is
that

A. they have to move frequently from one place to another because of their work.


B. young people are not rich enough to buy furniture they really like.

Believe it or not, I hate birthdays. First of all you keep getting older, and second
you always get presents you can
’
t stand. If I could just have a nice chocolate cake all
to myself, I
’
d be very happy. But no! I have received more ties, pajamas, umbrellas,
and
gloves
than
you
can
imagine.
I
keep
all
my
unwanted
gifts
piled
neatly
in
a
corner of my closet. If I need one of the items, I draw from my stock, but that is a
rare occurrence. The result is that my pile is quite large.
One day, my Aunt Gloria called me.
“
Hello, Shelley,
”
she said.
“
We
’
re having a surprise birthday party
for
cousin
Stove. Will you be able to come on Thursday the 29
th
at 2 p.m.?
”

“
One minute, while I look at my calendar,
”
I said.
“
Too
bad,
”

I
thought
to
myself.
“
I
’
m
free.
I
guess
I
’
ll
have
to
go.
”

To
Aunt
Gloria, I said,
“
Yes, that day looks O.K. to me. I
’
ll be there. Should I bring anything
for the party?
”

“
No,
”
answered Aunt Gloria,
“
just bring yourself.
”

The morning for the party arrived. After some thought, I decided that it would
be proper to bring my aunt a little gift. I thought it would please her. I had a good
stock of gifts in my closet, and so I decided to rewrap one and offer it to my aunt. It
was getting late by the time I got around to wrapping it. So I grabbed the first box I
saw and hastily wrapped it.
My relatives were all there when I arrived. They were glad to see me, and if the
occasion hadn
’
t been a birthday party, I guess I would have been glad to see them.
Uncle Joe told me I
’
d lost weight.
“
You look wonderful,
”
he said.
I
plowed
my
way
through
a
dozen
more
relatives
to
Aunt
Gloria.
“
Here,
”

I
graciously said, holding out my gift.
“
A little something for you.
”

“
Oh, that
’
s very kind of you,
”
said my aunt. She began to unwrap the gift.
“I

wonder what it could be,
”
she murmured. Then she began to
read a card that was
enclosed, a card that I didn
’
t remember having put in.
“
Dear
Shelley,
”

she
read,
“
hope
you
enjoy
these
gloves.
They
’
ll
keep
your
fingers warm in the winter. Love, Aunt Gloria.
”

1. The reason why Shelley hates birthdays is that





.


A. one keeps getting older


















B. one always gets gifts one can
’
t stand


C. both A and B


























D. neither A nor B
2. What does the underlined part
“
just bring yourself
”
mean?

Island of Feelings
Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness,
Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love.
One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink
to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave.
Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise
until the last possible moment.
When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave.
She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing
by in a grand boat. Love asked, “
Richness, can I come with you on your boat?
”

Richness answered,
“
I
’
m sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat
and there would be no room for you anywhere.
”

Then
Love
decided
to
ask
Vanity
for
help
who
was
passing
by
in
a
beautiful
vessel.
Love
cried
out,
“
Vanity,
help
me
please!
”

“
I
can
’
t
help
you,
”

Vanity
said,
“
You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat.
”

Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said,
“
Sadness, please let me go with
you.
”

Sadness answered,
“
Love, I
’
m sorry, but, I just need to be alone now.
”

Then,
Love
saw
Happiness.
Love
cried
out,
“
Happiness,
please
take
me
with
you.
”
But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn
’
t hear Love calling to him.
Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say,
“
Come Love,
I will take you
with me.
”
It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask
the
elder
his
name.
When
they
arrived
on
land
the
elder
went
on
his
way.
Love
realized how much she owed the elder.
Love then found Knowledge and asked,
“
Who was it that helped me?
”

“
It was

6
Time,
”

Knowledge
answered.
“
But
why
did
Time
help
me
when
no
one
else
would?
”
Love asked.
Knowledge
smiled
and
with
deep
wisdom
and
sincerity,
answered,
“
Because
only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.

I don’t realize that I’ve been at college for nearly one and half year until now.
Looking back into the last year, what shall I say? It consisted of both happiness and
sadness.
Life
always
goes
like
this,
up
and
down,
as
is
so
exciting.
Now
when
I
recall the past, no matter how I felt at that time, they are all treasures for me.
That was the moon festival last year, which was also the first time we went out
after we entered the college. It was said that the sea in Dalian was well-known and
was
also
a
wonderful
place
to
watch
the
moon.
After
getting
all
the
food
and
drinking ready, we four girls set off for the seaside. There were many people and we
picked
up
a
less
crowded
beach.
At
first,
we
enjoyed
ourselves
by
drinking
and
eating. When the moon turned brighter, we played with the seawater. As a result, we
were
all
drenched
with
water.
Bathing
in
the
moonlight,
we
ran
and
laughed.
We
seemed to land on another world, where was full of fresh air, laughter and love. The
laughter is still echoing on my mind so far.

Life
doesn’t
stay
the
same,
occasionally
having
a
particular
taste.
That
is
sadness. What impressed me deeply is a failure in a singing competition. It was the
first time I had given a performance on such a large stage in front of so many people.
I
was
so
nervous
that
the
whole
song
was
performed
out
of
tune.
As
you
could
imagine, I was greeted with boos from the audience. I still remembered how dismal I
felt that moment and I sat alone crying at the seaside. After that, I talked to mother
about it. She told me that it was not a failure; at least, I was brave enough to show
myself publicly.

Everything
has passed. I’ve stored them at the bottom of my heart. I am in the
second
grade
already.
Yet
much
needs
me
to
challenge.
On
the
way,
there‘s
both
happiness and distress. However, I will go ahead just all the same.

A few years ago men on a ship in the ocean saw the water bubbling and boiling.
They went closer. Night came before they had seen very much. But in the morning
they saw an island where there had been no island before.

It was a very hot island, with smoke, steam, and fire.


Actually, the island was the top of a mountain that had been growing up from
the floor of the ocean and had poked through the water into the air.

How does a mountain grow?

If the mountain
is
a volcano, it is
easy to
see how it grows. A volcano
starts
from a hole in the ground from which hot rock and smoke and steam come out. Far,
far under the
ground it is
so hot
that rock melts. This
hot
melted rock, or
lava, is
sometimes
pushed
out
of
the
earth
through
a
hole
or
a
crack
in
the
ground.
The
steam inside the earth pushes the rock out.


As
more
and
more
rock
comes
out,
it
makes
a
pile
that
becomes
a
mountain.
Sometimes the rock flows out like hot mush. Sometimes it is shot out in big chunks

8
of hard rock. The more stuff that comes out, the higher the mountain grows.

If the mountain is growing under the ocean, it becomes an island when it reaches
the top of the water. The little island that the men saw from the ship started this way.
So did the big Hawaiian Islands and the enormous island of Iceland.
Not many years ago in Mexico, a little boy and his father discovered a volcano
growing in a cornfield. Smoke puffed up, and rock started popping up out of a crack
that opened in the ground.

The boy thought the cornfield was throwing rocks at him! He picked one up. It
was hot. He dropped it and ran away frightened. Smoke and rock continued to come
from the crack in the ground.

A new volcano was being born.

The volcano in the cornfield grew until it was bigger than the cornfield! Black
smoke puffed out. Hot ashes fell like black snowflakes. Hot rock and fire and lava
shot
out.
People
called
the
volcano
the
Little
Monster
because
it
grew
so
fast.
Scientists came from all over the world to study it and watch it grow. It is not often
that people get a chance to watch a volcano from the very beginning.
1. The underlined word
“
lava
”
means





.


A. volcano






B. water







C. melted rock





D. land
2.







pushes the rock out?


A. The hot melted rock






B. The earthquake




C. The smoke













D. The steam inside the earth
3. Which one of the following is different from the other three?


A. the Himalayas










B. the little island





C. the big Hawaiian Islands



D. the enormous island of Iceland
4. Which statement is not right according to the passage?


A.
Scientists
from
every
part
of
the
world
came
to
study
the
new
volcano
and
watch it grow.


B. It is often that people get a chance to watch a volcano from the very beginning.


C. Hot ashes fell like black snowflakes.


D. People called the volcano the Little Monster because it grew so fast.
