Last week, the manager of an old jeweler's shop received a letter marked "personal". As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk till teatime. When he opened it, a $100 note fell. out onto his desk. With the note was a short letter. This is what it said:
Dear sir,
I got engaged (订婚的) forty years ago. Unfortunately at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I lost my job. I was out of work for about six months before I got another one. Of course I was very short of money.
I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring one day. The assistant brought some rings for me to have a look, later she was called away, and then I put one of the rings into my pocket. When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend's finger.

So I left the shop without paying for the ring. My wife died a month ago, and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience
(让我良心不安) all these years. I always feel guilty about that. At that time the ring cost $ 20, and I think that is about five times- $100 at today's price. Now I am sending you that amount.
Yours truly,
A customer

试题分析：短文大意：一位顾客在四十年前订婚时，因失业缺钱，在一家珠宝店给女朋友拿了一枚戒指而没有付钱。他的妻子一个月前去世了，而事实上所有的这些年他一直在为没有付戒指款而感到内疚，所以他给珠宝店的经理写了一封信并且寄去原戒指款的五倍作为补偿，珠宝店经理读后大为感叹“好的，好的，好的，生活中充满了惊喜！”
小题1:细节理解题。根据At that time the ring cost $ 20, and I think that is about five times- $100 at
today's price（在那时间戒指20美元，我认为这约是今天价格的五倍，达100美元）可知选.A。
小题2:词义猜测题。根据and I lost my job.（我失去了我的工作）可知unemployment 的意思是失业，所以选D。
小题3:细节理解题。根据My wife died a month ago （我的妻子一个月前去世了）可知选B。
小题4:细节理解题。读短文可知经理自己打开信，读后说生活中充满了惊喜。客户总是为几年前没付戒指钱而感到不安，所以选C。

Several years ago, a television reporter was interviewing three of the most important people from local businesses. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
　　The reporter was talking to them about being important.
　　“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.
　　The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President is really important.”
　　The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.
　　The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President said he was too busy to answer it.”
　　The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”
　　“No, I don’t.” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
　　“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
　　“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘it’s for you.’”

Dad never tried to hug or kiss me when I was a child. And of course, he never said "I love you"to me,       . Maybe it's a Chinese cultural(文化) thing, or maybe that's the way my dad was. But whenever I felt       , defeated(被打败) or lonely, dad was always there. Dad was a man of       words, but I always liked to talk to him, and I could always feel a very special connection(联系) to him.
When I was in high school, dad retired(退休) and  had a     stand(摊位) on the street near my school. Dad was very good at making fried noodles, and a lot of people liked his noodles. Every day when I finished school, my classmates and I would pass his food stand. But I really        talking to dad in front of his food stand,        I did not want my classmates to know that my dad was selling noodles on the street!
One night, I couldn't       it any more and shouted, "Dad, could you stop selling your stupid noodles? I don't need a father who sells noodles on the street!" At that moment, dad was shocked. He tried to say       but didn't. When he       his head away, something happened that I had never seen and would never forget          the rest of my life. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time that I saw dad         . My mom later told me that dad was selling noodles to save money for my college education. I was such a fool, and even today I still feel        for that night.
Time really flies. I finished college and then left my home city. For the past ten years, whenever I've visited home, dad was always there meeting me and seeing me off         at the railway station. Whenever mom was calling me, dad would sit       her with a list of questions. He would ask mom to talk to me for him. That's the way dad is, and that's        dad shows his love to me.
Dad is still quiet, but I still feel a connection. —"a silent father's love."

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to worry about people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you are studying hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of you; When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. All your happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you should not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
