I went to a Catholic boys school in Blackpool in the North of England. In my first year in the senior school I was a nerdy kid, with spectacles and short trousers. For one hour a week the class had elocution lessons from an old, portly teacher called Mr. Priestley. He had a hard task wrestling with our flat northern vowels and trying to get us to speak the Queen’s English. One day he came up to me and said, "Sloane, I want to put you in for a speaking festival." "Why me " I grumbled. "Because I think you can do it," was his reply. I had to learn to recite a poem. It was "Play up, Play up and Play the game" by Sir Henry Newbolt, a classic motivational poem ringing with the heroic values of the British Empire. I had to practise it in front of the class, which was rather embarrassing; especially when dear old Mr. Priestly said, "That’s good but you need to pause and to put feeling and emotion into it." Eleven year old boys are unwilling to express feelings. The Saturday of the festival came and I went there on the bus (my parents never had a ear). I gave it my best shot but there were other children there who were more polished or experienced than I was and they scooped all the prizes. So I had to return to school on Monday and tell Mr. Priestley and the class that I had not won. I was then, and still am, very competitive so it felt like a failure to me. We did not have Mr. Priestley again after that year and I never thanked him for that intervention. It is too late to do so now. In my work I go around the world giving keynote talks on leadership and innovation and I often address large, prestigious audiences. Part of the reason that I can do that is because one teacher took the initiative and gave me a challenge. He asked me to do something I had never done and helped me to learn how to do it. Education is not about league tables or exam results. It is about opening doors for people and showing them rooms that that would otherwise be hidden. If we can challenge children to try things and to learn what they can achieve then maybe one day we will be remembered with the gratitude that I hold for Mr. Priestley.Mr. Priestley wanted the author to take part in the festival most probably because ().

A.the author was the best in class

B.the author didn’t have confidence in himself

C.the author wasn’t good at expressing himself

D.the author needed to be motivated

We had just started a round of Bloody Marys. My girl friend took a sip, looked idly ar
ound the room and suddenly, with more vivacity (轻松活泼) than I had seen in weeks, exclaimed, “Isn’t that Ernest Hemingway?”

At the end of the bar, talking on the telephone, was a tall man with a white beard,handsome and imposing.

“It’s Hemingway all right,” I said.

“Why don’t you ask him to have a drink with us?” she said, knowing I wouldn’t dare. What matter if the barman at the Ritz threw me out? My life was over anyway. “I’ll ask him,” I said.

“No, no, don’t ,” she said. “I was just kidding.”

“I wasn’t,” I said, squaring my shoulders and striding to the bar. Hemingway had just ended his phone call.

“Mr. Hemingway,” I said, “the young lady at the far table and I would like you to join us for a drink, if you have time.”

He looked at me, then across the room at her. Whether it was because I was so obviously on the spot or because she was so pretty-she really did look like a cross between Gene Tierney and Audrey Hepburn, as people often remarked-he said, “I’ve got another phone call to make, and then I’ll join you.”

When I returned to the table, my girl friend asked: “What’d he say? What’d he say?”

“He said he’d join us for a drink. Maybe he was just kidding.”

A few minutes later, with both of us studiously not looking toward the end of the bar,a shadow loomed over the table and Hemingway sat down. We ordered another round of Bloody Marys.

Hemingway told us he was going down to Spain for the bullfights. He said he had fully recovered from injuries suffered when his small plane had crashed in the African jungle a few months before. He asked me what kind of car I drove, and when I told him I had a Triumph TR-2-a big engine for a small chassis (汽车底盘) -he remarked, “Get us the manifold pressure in one of those and you can really roll.”

We chatted for a few moments. Then he looked at his watch and said: “I’d like to stay longer, but I’ve got a dinner date. Nice talking to you.”

My girl friend took my hand and smiled warmly at me for the first time in weeks.“You’ve got nerve,” she said. I signaled for the check. “Monsieur Hemingway a paye,” the waiter said. Mr. Hemingway had paid for the drinks.

1. When they first saw Hemingway, the latter ().

A. was drinking Bloody Marys

B. was talking to the barman

C. was talking on the phone

D. was walking idly around the room

2. The girl suggested that the author go and ask Hemingway to have a drink with them because ().

It was a chilly November evening in New York City, and my daughter and I were walking
up Broadway.Nora noticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand.She pulled at my coat sleeve and said, “That man's cold, Daddy.Can we take him home?”

I don't remember my reply, but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me.I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing.But now she was noticing suffering and poverty.She wasn't even four.

A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people.The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package, and delivered it to an elderly person.I signed us up.Nora was excited about it.She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was.When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we'd been assigned.She invited us right over.

The building was depressing.When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress.She took the package and asked if we would like to come in.Nora ran inside.I reluctantly followed.Our hostess showed us some photos of her family.Nora played and laughed.I accepted a second cup of tea.When it came time to say good-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged.I walked home in tears.

Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that's good for yourself as well as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman's alone — it was in our lives, too.Now Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for the homeless.Yet, as I've watched her grow over these past four years, I still wonder — which of us has benefited more?

26.The man Nora noticed on that evening was probably ______.

A.asking for food

第10题
When I told my family that I was thinking of taking a cooking job, the roars of laughter w
ere rather discouraging. No one believed that I could cook at all, as I had never had achance to practise at home, Our cook had ruled in the kitchen for thirty years and had an annoying tendency to regard the saucepans, stove and all the kitchen fittings as her own property. I once crept down there when I thought she was asleep in her room to try out an omelette (妙蛋). Noiselessly I removed a frying pan from its hook and the eggs from their cupboard. It was the pop of the gas that woke her, I think, for I was just breaking the first egg when a pair of slippered feet moved round the door and a shout of horror caused me to break the egg on the floor. This disaster, together with the fact that I was using her one very special beloved and cared for frying-pan, upset her so much that she locked herself in the store room with all the food and we had to make our Sunday dinner of bananas. If the family weren&39;t going to be helpful I would look for a job all by myself and not tell them about it until I&39;d got one. I had seen an agency in a local paper, so as soon as there was no one about to say "Where are you going?" I rushed out of the house in search of it. I sat on the edge of a chair and could see my nose shining out of the corner of my eye.I thought perhaps it was a good thing; it might look more earnest. The woman at the desk examined me through her glasses. Having asked me a few questions, she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience. "But," she said, "I&39; ve got someone who needs a cook badly. " She wrote down a number, and my spirits went up as I took the slip of paper she held out to me, saying:“Ring up this lady. She wants a cook. You wouldhave to start tomorrow by cooking dinner for ten people. Could you manage that?" “Oh yes," said I, never having cooked for more than four in my life.

Of the following, which would best characterize the response of the author’s family to her plan of taking a cooking job?

A.Pleased

B.Doubtful

C.Uncomfortable

D.Positive

One reason for the author’s: lack of practice in cooking was that___.A.no one in her family would like her to practise cooking

B.everything in the kitchen was property belonging to the cook

C.the cook would never allow her to do any cooking

D.she was not yet born when the cook came to the house

The cook felt uncomfortable when____.A.She heard a shout of horror

B.she heard the sound of a pair of slippered feet moving round the door

C.she saw the author creep down to the kitchen

D.she saw the author break an egg on the floor

When there was no one about, the author rushed out of the house because_____.A.she was afraid of seeing the cook again

B.she couldn’t answer the question her family would ask

C.that was the only chance for her to leave the house

D.didn’t want to reveal what she was going to do
