I’m sitting here in this coffee shop. You know the one there by Allen street. The town is filled with thousands of middle class college kids living off their parent’s money.

The coffee shop is where the ones come to play the part of sophisticated bohemians (放荡不羁的文化人). The pretensions (自命不凡) glow from their line-less faces as they sip cappuccinos and chew strawberry cookies. The boys to my right are discussing Nabokov with a serious air, a copy of Sartre’s Cuba lies on the table.

The young woman on my left is declaring that she can never allow her creativity to be killed by entering the work force. The man with her scratches his goatee (胡子) in agreement, occasionally suggesting they go back to his place to hear his new Washington Squares CD. Matt has just designed a new international symbol for peace. He moves from table to table trying to sell hand painted T-shirts that bear the design. Tomorrow he’s leaving for the 25th anniversary Woodstock concert where he hopes to strike it rich with his creation.

Gopha the skinny Indian boy feels like singing me a verse of ‘It Ain’t Me Babe’ when I ask him if he’s a friend of Monica’s. Jason is trying to talk Gopha into a dollar bet on a game of chess. Between times Jason will chew your ear off with his plans to conquer the music industry while studying entertainment law, but when it comes to his never ending dollar chess matches he’s quiet as a church mouse.

I sit among them. To all surface appearances one and the same. If they could only see I would rather reach into their flesh and tear out their shallow little hearts than listen to another second of their prattle (闲扯).

With no job, no gigs, and my girlfriend’s so far gone she might as well be on another planet, I’ve been leading the writer’s quiet cafe life, spending my free time outdoors drinking iced teas and cheap wines. I chat warmly with whoever decides to squander away their hours in my surrounding area.

But behind my eyes is an unspoken challenge to any and every one of these social elites (精英) to just once say one thing that would inspire me. Just one little idea which is new and meaningful. Unfortunately original thoughts are zero here.

In my secret mind I wish to run like a madman banging gongs and speaking in tongues. Or maybe jump on a table and sing the Star Spangled Banner in the forgotten language of the Hottentots. I know these thoughts only reveal me as a fool because the spark I search for cannot be found in acts of shocking performance art. Where it truly comes from is one of the mysteries which will always hang around me.

1.The college students in the coffee shop can be described as ______.

A. shallow and aimless B. determined and independent

C. vain and ambitious D. honest and hardworking

2.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Matt’s T-shirts will be a hit at the concert and bring him wealth.

B. Jason seems to show more enthusiasm in the dollar chess matches.

C. The young woman agrees to listen to a new Washington Squares CD.

D. The hero envies the lifestyle of the college students in the coffee shop.

3.Why is the hero in the coffee shop?

A. To recall the pleasant memories.

B. To relieve his sorrows and worries.

C. To know what is in fashion nowadays.

D. To find something new to inspire himself.

4.What does the passage imply?

A. The hero is sure that he can find the original thoughts in a crazy way.

B. The hero is disappointed at the college students failing his expectation.

C. The hero is quite content with his quiet café life as a writer.

D. The hero is lost in the physical world and hopeless about his future.

阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Annie sometimes felt puzzled by the relationship between her parents.

They never seemed to show much love for each other. Annie believed that people who were in love would show it. They would hold hands, speak sweet words to each other and give each other nice gifts. Annie's parents did none of these things. So, she doubted whether they really loved each other.

It was Annie's plan to ask her parents about their feelings for each other. But it was hard to find the right moment. One Saturday afternoon, she noticed that her dad was in the garage, doing some work on the engine of his sports car.

Annie's dad was always in a good mood when he was near his sports car, so she decided to ask him the question that had been bothering her." Dad, do you and Mom really love each other?"

"Of course," her father replied. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, you never seem to show it."

Annie's father was silent for a while, he spoke again. "Look at the engine of this car," he said. "It is oily and messy, and the car looks much better when the hood (引擎罩) is down. Don't you agree?" Without waiting for a reply, he went on. "If I took out the engine and put the hood back down, the car would look just as beautiful, right? But it wouldn't be a car anymore. The engine is its beating heart. You don't usually see it, but it has to be there. It's the same with your Mom and me. Our love for each other is the beating heart of this family. Don't worry just because it isn't on show all the time. "

About six months later, Annie's father lost his job. The family had to cut back on many things to make ends meet. And he had to sell his beloved sports car. But Annie noticed another change. Because he had more free time, her father spent more of it with her mother. They seemed to grow closer together, and showed their love more often. Their love, which Annie had been afraid did not exist, was plain to see. Annie was sad that the sports car had gone, but at least she understood what her father had told her that day.

1.How did Annie feel about her parents' relationship at the beginning of the article?

A. Confused. B. Angry. C. Satisfied. D. Proud.

2.What did Annie's father compare his love to?

A. A job. B. A story. C. A gift. D. An engine.

3.What happened to the love between Annie's parents after her father lost his job?

A. It no longer existed.

B. It became easier to see.

C. It grew weaker.

D. It changed completely.

4.What is the main idea of the article?

A. Children should pay attention to parents' love.

B. It's not good to show the feelings on the outside.

C. Love may not be seen, but it doesn't mean it isn't there.

D. We don't truly appreciate what we have until it is gone.
