“It’s 8:15 on a Sunday morning,” said the officer, Tidwell, “and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure(冒险) at such a time. Would you mind explaining?”
The man was astonished(吃惊的) at the voice from behind. He turned about and said, “I know what you’re thinking, officer, but it isn’t true. It’s a very funny mistake.”
“I think you’ve just left this house in a manner rather than the usual one. That may be quite all right, but I’d like to make sure.” Tidwell took out his notebook and a pen. “Name, address and occupation and then, please tell me your story.”
“Charlie Crane, lorry(卡车) driver, from Nottingham, 51 Brecon Street. My story?”
“Yes, What were you doing like a fly on that wall, Mr. Crane?”
“Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the night here. The landlady’s name is Mrs. Fern. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out of here in the right way and down at the lorry park by half past seven. It was only when I felt around for a cigarette that I realized I’d left $80 under the pillow(枕头) here. It’s a habit I’ve got into. I even do it almost every day.”
“I see. Why didn’t you miss it when you meant to pay Mrs.? What’s her name?”
“I paid her last night. You’ve got to pay when you take the room, see? So I came rushing back, but it’s Sunday, and she’d gone back to bed. I rang the bell and banged on the front door for ten minutes before I came round here. Up I went this pipe(管子) and the money was still there. You know the rest, and I hope you believe it because….”
“Mr. Crane, whatever are you doing here? I thought you’d gone an hour ago.” It was Mrs. Fern.

Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother thought for a while. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was brought to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and from time to time she looked angrily at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank in a faint(晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I wanted to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I said something about skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.
小题1:According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ________.
A.a family honorB.a family secret
C.a family storyD.a family treasure
小题2:Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?
A.She was curious about it.B.She planned to keep it for fun.
C.She needed it for her school task.D.She wanted to scare her parents.
小题3:Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ________.
A.they realized their misunderstanding
B.they were crazy
C.they were over excited

There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy. He would always spend all of his free time playing with the little boy.
One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had some work to do for the evening, and he couldn’t play with his little boy. But he wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy. Then he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover.
He got an idea. He removed the map, and then tore (撕) it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his pocket. When he got home, the little boy was ready to play with his dad. The man said he had work to do and couldn't play just now, but he took out all the pieces of the map and spread (撒)them on the table. He said it was a map of the world, and by the time he could put it back together, his work would be finished, and they could then play.
About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, "Okay, it's finished. Can we play now?"The man was surprised, saying, "That's impossible. Let's go see." And sure enough, there was the picture of the world; all put together, every piece in its place. The man said, "That's amazing! How did you do that?" The boy said, "It was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man together the whole world fell into place."

Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing World. But the         is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a developed country like Germany?
Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making         for the homeless of Berlin, the capital of Germany. They first         doing that during a long hot summer when most Germans were        on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made  sandwiches,       a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.
The Mullers soon realized that food and clothing weren’t         . “What these people also need is warmth and        ,” says Rita. The Mullers were always willing to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita        there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always        to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street.
The couple were soon         all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to        donations. Today, over thirty companies  regularly donate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help to        them to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer  even gives away new shoes.
Kurt and Rita receive no payment for their hard work. “We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t      money for helping their children. The love we get on the streets is our salary.” Though Rita says she often gets      , she says she will continue with her work because she likes the feeling of having made a        in the world.

You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. In fact, an English dictionary you      today wasn’t made until the Qin Dynasty. They spent most of the important       work on dictionaries. They spent nearly all their lives trying to     words for their dictionaries. For them, it was a wonderful journey. The largest dictionary in the world is Oxford English Dictionary(牛津字典). The        for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor(编者)of its new dictionary. Murray had never been to      . At the age of fourteen, he left his villageschool in Scotland and taught himself while working in bank.      he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job. Murray had a small house       in his garden to do the work. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o’clock and      in the small house several hours before breakfast. Often he would work into the night. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years but after five year, he was       adding(增加)words for the letter “A”! He worked on the dictionary       he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished the dictionary.
