You ask me about my hometown, so now I'd like to tell you something about it. I live in Brighton, which is not a very big town. It has a population of around 300,000. It is on the coast about 50 miles from London. Of course it isn't as interesting as London or Paris. But the air is a lot cleaner and better. There is little population there. There are a few factories in Brighton, but not many. It isn't very easy to find a job there. My father used to work in a steel plant which shut down a year ago and my father lost his job. But there are a lot of hotels and language schools in the town. In summer the town is full of travelers. My father decides to open a small shop to sell gifts. But he is short of money. He hopes that he can borrow some money from the bank.

A traveler lost his way and got off the highway to see where he was. As he drove by, he saw rows and rows of pigpens (猪舍) and pigs running in fields. Suddenly, his eyes caught something really strange. It looked like a pig with a wooden leg!
He drove up into the farm, where he met the farmer. “Excuse me，” the traveler said. “I was just driving by and looking at all your pigs, and I just had to stop and ask about it. Tell me, is there really a pig out there with a wooden leg？” The farmer smiled. “Oh, that would be old Caesar you saw. He's the finest pig I've ever had — and smart! Well, let me tell you a little about that pig.”
“One night a couple of years ago I got to drinking and I guess I had more than I should have. I fell down and knocked over a lamp. That started a fire in the house and old Caesar smelled the smoke. He came in the back door, got the wife and kid out, roused (唤醒) me up and got me out. There is no question about it — that night old Caesar saved all our lives. You know that I'm not going to forget it too easily.”
“Why，” the traveler said, “this is amazing! I have never heard of a pig like this before! This is fantastic! But tell me，how did he get that wooden leg？”

INCLUDEPICTURE"记23.tif"
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines. Mr. Gordon was too stingy (吝啬) to rent (租) a chair. Their twelveyearold daughter, Sandra, was playing at the water's edge. Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out to sea. Fortunately, a lifeguard (救生员) was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra away. He ran along the beach and dived into the sea. He swam quickly to where the girl was, with her head only just above the water, was shouting for help. She was very frightened. When the lifeguard reached her, she struggled with him, as drowning people often do. However, he was a skillful lifeguard and quickly took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach. By the time he reached it, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon had realized what had happened. They had run down to the water's edge. Neither of them could swim. They just stood in the shallow water, and worried about their daughter. Had the lifeguard reached her in time? Fortunately, he had. “That was quick work, young man，” Mr. Gordon said. He turned to his wife, “Give the lifeguard a dollar.” “A dollar！” Sandra cried. “Dad, how can you give him a dollar! He saved my life. I was half dead.” “Quite right, girl”， Mr. Gordon said, pleased by his daughter's awareness (知道) of the value of money. He turned to his wife again and said, “She's right. She was only half dead. Give him fifty cents.”

A. They shouted to the lifeguard.
B. They dived into the water.
C. Perhaps they were reading magazines.

A. He did not give the lifeguard any money.
B. He did not swim out to save her.
C. He did not show the lifeguard hearty thankfulness.
D. He gave the lifeguard too much money.

INCLUDEPICTURE"记24.tif"
A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him escape punishment.
The event happened in the early morning hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power, late in August, 1923. He and his family were living in the same thirdfloor suite (套房) at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had occupied several years before. The former President's wife was still living in the White House.
Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.
Coolidge spoke, “I wish you wouldn't take that.”
The thief, gaining his voice, said, “Why？”
“I don't mean the watch and chain, only the charm (表坠). Take it near the window and read what is impressed on its back，” the President said.
The thief read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidge.”
“Are you President Coolidge？” he asked.
The President answered, “Yes, and the House of Representatives (众议院) gave me that watch charm. I'm fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let's talk this over.”
Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice , “I'll take this and leave everything else.”
Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.
Coolidge decided to offer the man and his roommate two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan (借款)．
He then told the young man, “There is a guard in the corridor.” The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.
28．Why did Calvin Coolidge live at the Willard Hotel in those days?
A. Because the former President was still living in the White House.
B. Because the former First Lady hadn't left the White House.
C. Because the First Lady liked to live there.
D. Because he liked there.
答案与解析 B 根据第二段“The former President's wife was still living in the White House.”可知，前任总统的夫人仍然住在白宫，因此，B项为正确答案。
29．The young man and his roommate went back to the college ________.
A. by air B. by water
C. by bus D. by train
答案与解析 D 根据倒数第二段“Coolidge decided to offer the man and his roommate two rail tickets back to the college.”可知，他和室友是乘火车回到学校的。
30．What is NOT the character of President Coolidge?
A. Considerate. B. Kind.
C. Generous. D. Selfish.
答案与解析 D 根据文章可知，总统并没有惩罚小偷说明他很generous，送给他火车票说明他很kind，让他从窗子逃走说明他很considerate，因此，D项为正确答案。
31．Which of the following might happen afterwards?
A. The young student repaid the $32.
B. The thief was put into prison.
C. The President told many reporters the thief's name.
D. The President ordered the young man to repay the money.
答案与解析 A 根据“Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan.”可知，年轻人是要还给总统32美元的。
D
Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world's greatest wonders.
“In my opinion，” the first man said, “the Egyptian pyramids are the world's greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them only had simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.”
“I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful，” the second man said, “but I do not think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds, they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do.”
He turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world？”
The third man thought for a long time, and then he said, “Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.”
And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos？” they exclaimed. “But that's a simple thing.”
“Oh, no, it's not，” the third man said. “In winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot. In summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it's winter or summer？”
32．The three men could not agree on what the world's greatest wonder was because ________.
A. they could not think of anything very wonderful
B. they all had different ideas
C. they could not prove that their opinions were right
D. the journey ended too soon
答案与解析 B 通读全文可知，对于“世界上最大的奇迹是什么”这一问题各有各自的观点，故本题选B正确。
33．The first man thought the pyramids were the most wonderful things in the world because ________.
A. they were very beautiful
B. they were Egyptian
C. they had been built with very simple tools
D. they could do mathematical calculations
答案与解析 C 第二段最后两句即本题答案出处。本题选C正确。
34．The third man thought a thermos was the most wonderful thing in the world because ________.
A. it lasted longer than the pyramids
B. it cost less than a computer
C. he thought it knew whether it was winter or summer
D. the other two men were surprised when he told them about it
答案与解析 C 细节理解题。本题选C正确，由短文最后一段可得出此答案。
35．The third man was not very clever because ________.
A. he could not think of anything to say
B. he did not understand how a thermos works
C. he did not think the pyramids were wonderful
D. he did not know anything about computers
答案与解析 B 从最后一段可知，第三个人对于保温瓶保温的原理不懂。故本题选B正确。

__40__ But I was very sad because I knew I had only helped one person out of thousands. Actually, it made me cry. But still at least I felt good to have helped others and the excitement got me satisfied, so I just had to keep doing that!

You ask me about my hometown, so now I'd like to tell you something about it. I live in Brighton, which is not a very big town. It has a population of around 300,000. It is on the coast about 50 miles from London. Of course it isn't as interesting as London or Paris. But the air is a lot cleaner and better. There is little population there. There are a few factories in Brighton, but not many. It isn't very easy to find a job there. My father used to work in a steel plant which shut down a year ago and my father lost his job. But there are a lot of hotels and language schools in the town. In summer the town is full of travelers. My father decides to open a small shop to sell gifts. But he is short of money. He hopes that he can borrow some money from the bank.

A traveler lost his way and got off the highway to see where he was. As he drove by, he saw rows and rows of pigpens (猪舍) and pigs running in fields. Suddenly, his eyes caught something really strange. It looked like a pig with a wooden leg!
He drove up into the farm, where he met the farmer. “Excuse me，” the traveler said. “I was just driving by and looking at all your pigs, and I just had to stop and ask about it. Tell me, is there really a pig out there with a wooden leg？” The farmer smiled. “Oh, that would be old Caesar you saw. He's the finest pig I've ever had — and smart! Well, let me tell you a little about that pig.”
“One night a couple of years ago I got to drinking and I guess I had more than I should have. I fell down and knocked over a lamp. That started a fire in the house and old Caesar smelled the smoke. He came in the back door, got the wife and kid out, roused (唤醒) me up and got me out. There is no question about it — that night old Caesar saved all our lives. You know that I'm not going to forget it too easily.”
“Why，” the traveler said, “this is amazing! I have never heard of a pig like this before! This is fantastic! But tell me，how did he get that wooden leg？”

Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines. Mr. Gordon was too stingy (吝啬) to rent (租) a chair. Their twelveyearold daughter, Sandra, was playing at the water's edge. Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out to sea. Fortunately, a lifeguard (救生员) was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra away. He ran along the beach and dived into the sea. He swam quickly to where the girl was, with her head only just above the water, was shouting for help. She was very frightened. When the lifeguard reached her, she struggled with him, as drowning people often do. However, he was a skillful lifeguard and quickly took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach. By the time he reached it, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon had realized what had happened. They had run down to the water's edge. Neither of them could swim. They just stood in the shallow water, and worried about their daughter. Had the lifeguard reached her in time? Fortunately, he had. “That was quick work, young man，” Mr. Gordon said. He turned to his wife, “Give the lifeguard a dollar.” “A dollar！” Sandra cried. “Dad, how can you give him a dollar! He saved my life.

A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him escape punishment.
The event happened in the early morning hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power, late in August, 1923. He and his family were living in the same thirdfloor suite (套房) at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had occupied several years before. The former President's wife was still living in the White House.
Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.
Coolidge spoke, “I wish you wouldn't take that.”
The thief, gaining his voice, said, “Why？”
“I don't mean the watch and chain, only the charm (表坠). Take it near the window and read what is impressed on its back，” the President said.
The thief read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidge.”
“Are you President Coolidge？” he asked.
The President answered, “Yes, and the House of Representatives (众议院) gave me that watch charm. I'm fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let's talk this over.”
Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice , “I'll take this and leave everything else.”
Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.
Coolidge decided to offer the man and his roommate two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan (借款)．
He then told the young man, “There is a guard in the corridor.” The young man nodded and left through the same window as he had entered.
28．Why did Calvin Coolidge live at the Willard Hotel in those days?
A. Because the former President was still living in the White House.
B. Because the former First Lady hadn't left the White House.
C. Because the First Lady liked to live there.
D. Because he liked there.

C. Generous. D. Selfish.
答案与解析 D 根据文章可知，总统并没有惩罚小偷说明他很generous，送给他火车票说明他很kind，让他从窗子逃走说明他很considerate，因此，D项为正确答案。

Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world's greatest wonders.
“In my opinion，” the first man said, “the Egyptian pyramids are the world's greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them only had simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today.”
“I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful，” the second man said, “but I do not think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds, they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do.”
He turned to the third man and asked, “What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world？”
The third man thought for a long time, and then he said, “Well, I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.”
And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.
The other two men were very surprised. “A thermos？” they exclaimed. “But that's a simple thing.”
“Oh, no, it's not，” the third man said. “In winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot. In summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it's winter or summer？”
32．The three men could not agree on what the world's greatest wonder was because ________.
A. they could not think of anything very wonderful
B. they all had different ideas
C. they could not prove that their opinions were right
D. the journey ended too soon
