One evening I was going back from a supermarket. As I was approaching my car, I noticed that some person came and stood beside me. He was the one that could be considered as a bum. It seemed that he had no car, no home and no job. I thought that he would ask me for money, but he did not do that, he only said: “Your car is very nice”. After several moments of silence, I replied: “Thanks”, and then the inner voice told me, “Ask him if he needs help”. After a short hesitation I asked him if he needed any help. His response was astonishing. I will never forget those simple three words that I heard from him: —“Don’t we all?” It was a true discovery to me. I needed help. Although I had money and a place to sleep, I recognized that I needed help too. Then I opened my wallet and gave him enough money to get a meal and some shelter for a day. Suddenly I understood that no matter how much money we have, we all need help. On the other hand, no matter how poor you are and how many material problems you have, you still might offer your help to others and you still might be giving. Even it’s just a nice word, you can give that and it can be priceless to other persons. Maybe that man was just a homeless stranger, but to me he was more than that. Maybe he was sent by the Highest Loving Power personally to me to open my eyes and to show me that there is one thing, among all other values, which is very important and irreplaceable for each and every person. Actually, it is a true gift and it is called Giving. 1.The underlined word “bum” in Paragraph 1 can be a person _______. A. who needs money B. who is a homeless man C. who is willing to help others D. who is sent by the Highest Loving Power 2.Why did the writer give enough money to the man? A. The writer had enough money to help. B. He needed money to eat and have a rest. C. His words gave the writer deep thoughts. D. The writer is kind and always helps others. 3.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Not everyone needs help. B. Giving is as important as receiving. C. The rich should help the poor. D. A helping and touching word can help others. 4.What did the writer probably get from the man? A. True meaning of giving. B. True meaning of being rich. C. True meaning of values. D. True meaning of gifts.

Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of most Native American tribes. To Native Americans, wolves often represent bravery. The animals also are signs of strength, loyalty, and success at hunting. Other cultures--such as the ancient Celtic and Nordic peoples-also placed high value on wolves. However, from the wolves in horror films to the wolves in children’s stories, wolves get a bum rap(不公正的惩罚) in both literature and English expressions. To begin with, there is the term lone wolf. The lone wolf isn’t a bad person. But they like to do things on their own. However, the term can mean something less than desirable. Lone wolf makes you think the person doesn’t want to be around people because he or she dislikes them. Now, let’s move on to the home. Parents might criticize their children for wolfing down their food. In other words, the child eats very quickly and without care. And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal. A wolf at the door means someone to whom you owe money is waiting just outside your door. By the way, there are two popular wolf-related expressions that come from Aesop, the ancient Greek storyteller. The first is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A wolf in sheep’s clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside. Aesop’s other wolf fable also involves a shepherd, but not a hardworking one. He is known as the boy who cried wolf. People who cry wolf are not trusted. People are so familiar with this story, you simply have to say cry wolf for them to know what you mean. 1.According to the passage, which group of people may think wolves are bad animals? A. The ancient Nordic people B. The ancient Celtic people C. Native Americans D. The English people 2.Which of the following can describe a person who often acts alone? A. A wild wolf B. A lone wolf C. A wolf at the door D. A wolf in sheep’s clothing 3.What may you probably mean by saying someone cries wolf? A. The person is selfish B. The person is a liar C. The person is stubborn D. The person is a troublemaker 4.What is the passage mainly about? A. Stories about wolves B. The research on wolves C. Expressions about wolves D. The cultural differences about wolves

Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast，but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London，Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk. At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London’s Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot， and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.

There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty. During the day，most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short. In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day.
