A
A university graduate described as a “respectable and intelligent” woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of shoplifting for the second time in six months.
Ana Luz, recently studying for PhD has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops.
Luz, who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road, Cambridge, admitted stealing clothes worth 9.95 pounds from John Lewis in Oxford Street, London, on March 9.
Phillip Lomoyne, prosecuting(起诉), said Luz selected some clothes from display and took them to the ladies’ toilet in the store, when she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected, having taken off the anti-theft security alarm.
She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr. Lomoyne said.
He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions.
Luz, 28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October, but Morag Duff, defending said she had never been in trouble with the police before this.
“She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesn’t really have any explanation why she did this,” Miss Duff said. “She didn’t intend to steal when she went into the store. She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady. She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is something in particular that caused her to do this.”
Judge David Azan fined Luz 50 pounds, and warned: “You have got a criminal record. If you carry on like this, you will end up in prison, which will ruin your bright future you may have.”
Luz achieved a degree in design at university in her native Spain, went on to a famous university in Berlin, Germany for her master’s degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University, UK.

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

When I was an education official in Palo Alto, California．Polly Tyner, the president of our school board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times．Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school．He was classified as educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers．But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room．His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride．Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident．After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper．

Today we buried our 20-year-old son．He was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on Friday night．How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time．If I had only known I would have said, “Jim, I love you and I’m very proud of you．”

I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him．I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people．

When you put all the good qualities on the scale and try to balance all the irritating phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc．, your angry feelings won’t amount to much．

I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance．Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation．The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died．He called me to say, “Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you．Got to go to work．Bye．” He gave me something to treasure forever．

If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much we care．

1．According to the passage, we know that ____．

A．Jim kept to himself B．Jim did very well in his studies

C．Jim’s parents were patient with him D．Jim failed to finish his high school

2．The underlined word “irritating” in Paragraph 4 means ____．

A．annoying B．aggressive C．impatient D．thrilling

A．mourn her son’s sudden death in a traffic accident

B．remind people to be cautious of motorcycles

C．advise people to take the chance to express their love in time

D．appreciate more of life than ever before

4．What can be the best title of the passage?

My father came to the United States as a Ukrainian immigrant （移民）when he was 14 years old. Unable to speak English but willing to do anything to succeed, he learned the language, and became a barber. He put his two daughters, my sister and me, through college during a time when most people thought that women didn’t need an education and that they should be satisfied by getting married and having children.

I was preparing to get married and my father was trying to practice the polka, a must at any Ukrainian wedding. But he couldn’t do it! He had lost the mobility（活动能力）in his leg and suffered a brain tumor（瘤）. He was forced to retire as a result of paralysis（瘫痪）of his right arm and leg. Dad had always worked two jobs and spent his spare time working around the house. Now his life came to a sudden stop. Yet never once did he complain. He bought rubber balls and spent his days trying to regain his hand mobility by squeezing those balls over and over.

After his second brain operation, he chatted pleasantly in the hospital room until a nurse flew into the room, waving her finger at me, and yelling, “You’d better tell your father to stay in bed. He is paralyzed and will never walk again. I am sick of picking him up and you’d better warn him to stay put!” My father smiled. He spent a great deal of time on the floor that year, but he eventually got up and walked.

My father lived nineteen more years after that second brain operation. He bought himself a motorized scooter（单脚滑行车）and spent years moving around the streets of Philadelphia. He was proud, free and always smiling.

56.In what way was the father different from most other people in his time?

A. He succeeded immigrating to the US.

B. He learned the new language easily and quickly.

C. He achieved his life goal by working as a barber.

D. He tried to offer his daughters the education chance.

57. The underlined word “polka” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________.

A. a song B. a dance C. a rubber ball D. a new language

58. The author’s father played with rubber balls to ________.

A. kill his too much spare time B. reduce his work pressure

C. get his hand mobility back D. recover from the brain tumor

59. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Love can create wonders. B. Failure is the mother of success.

C. Father’s love is the most valuable. D. Never give up your life and dream.

Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register(收款机) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash(现金), had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.

I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.

Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me,” was all he said.

What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

1. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ______.

A. promised to obey the store rules

B. forgot to take any money with him

C. hoped to have the food first and pay later

D. could not afford anything more expensive

2. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?

A. kind and lucky B. poor and lonely

C. friendly and helpful D. hurt and disappointed

3. The writer acted upon the store rules because ______.

A. he wanted to keep his present job

B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman

C. he considered the old man dishonest

D. he expected someone else to pay for the old man

4. What does the writer learn from his experience?

A. Wealth is more important than anything else.

B. Helping others is easier said than done.

C. Experience is better gained through practice.

D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
