  Slowly I climbed into the driver’s seat of the old brown Pontiac.“Hi, Miss Caroline!” cried the three passengers, my friend Annie and her two children.No, I’m not Annie’s driver.I’m just a friend.

  Let me explain.I’m 68, retired and live alone.Annie’s 27, works as a part-time bank teller and is married with two kids.We’re different, but we have one very important need in common--a car.I couldn’t afford to fix my own car and the bus didn’t go everywhere I needed to go.

  A friend had a suggestion.“My daughter Annie’s been using my old Pontiac while her husband job-hunts,” he said, “He got laid off and I know they could use help with gas.Maybe you two could share the car.”

  Share a car? We Americans are pretty territorial about our automobiles.Still, need overrode(压倒)nervousness and I gave Annie a call.We quickly worked out a schedule.Three days a week for me, the rest for her.

  Having wheels again was a huge help.Soon the car brought something more.Driving each other home on the days we switched, Annie and I talked about everything.

  She had plenty of worries.Besides her finances, her dad’s health was failing.However, she lifted my spirits! She once said, “Life doesn’t always turn out the way I want, but I trust things will work out.And they do.Just like this car!”

  Annie and her family moved to Los Angeles.I still borrow the Pontiac from her dad, who is healthy once again.Now, whenever I drive the car, I think about Annie, and about how a simple exchange born of economic need can become such a blessing.Like Annie says, life doesn’t always turn out the way we want.But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t turn out good.

(1)

[  ]

A.

B.

They both lacked love and care in life.

C.

They had both been searching for a job.

D.

They were both too poor to own a car.

(2)

Who was the real owner of the old brown Pontiac?

[  ]

A.

The writer.

B.

Annie.

C.

A bank teller.

D.

Annie’s father.

(3)

Annie impressed the writer much mainly because ________.

A.

she had a deep love for her dad

B.

she had many worries in her life

C.

she had a positive attitude to life

D.

A few days ago I asked my sons’ governess(女家庭教师)Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let’s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you’re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”

  “Forty.”

  “No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you’ve been here two months, so...”

  “Two months and five days.”

  “Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.

  “Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct?”

  Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.

  “Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didn’t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect (疏忽), Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”

  “You didn’t. ”sobbed Julia.

  “But I made a note of it.”

  “Well... if you say so.”

  “Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”

  Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!

  “Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”

  “Really? You see now, and I didn’t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”

  I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.

  “Merci (法语: 谢谢),”she whispered.

  I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this - ‘merci’?” I asked.

  “For the money. ”

  “But you know I’ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this‘merci’?”

  “In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”

  “They didn’t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless (懦弱)?Why didn’t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)—to be such a fool?”

  Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”

  I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”

While talking to Julia, the wrier expected from her ________.

  A. a protest           B. gratitude

  C. obedience           D. an explanation

  A. to be more aggressive

  B. to be more careful in her work

  C. to protect her right

  D. to live independently

At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!”to show ________.

  A. his understanding of Julia’s anxiety

  B. his worry about Julia’s future

  C. his concern on the living condition of working - class people

  When Oliver realized that the other two boys wanted to rob the house, he was full of fear. Cold sweat came upon his face, and he sank upon his knees. On seeing this Sikes drew his pistol(手枪) from his pocket and said angrily, "Get up, or I'll shoot you."
  "Oh! For god's sake, let me go!" cried Oliver, "Do not make me steal." Toby placed his hand upon Oliver's mouth, and dragged him to the house.
“Take this lantern,” said Sikes, looking into the house. “You see the stairs before you?” Oliver, more dead than alive, answered, "Yes."
