My friends, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her monthlong stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom – Alex – used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he’d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the café, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secrectary-General of the United Nations (UN).

Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pen, and white paper, I decided that the act of   1 must be the most   2  thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother   3  different things for my sister and brother. “But the  4 ”, she said, “is for Elizabeth”.
I never saw her angry, and never saw her cry. I knew she  5    me, she showed it in action. But   6  a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks   7  mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf (深渊) opened between us. I was “too emotional”.    8  she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed and I graduated from college, I loved my mother and I wrote to her in 9 words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did   10  me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer.   11  came. My hope turned to   12 , then little interest, finally, peace --- it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the   13  had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could    14  trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the   15  of her desk told me, as she’d   16  been able to, that she was   17  that writing was my chosen work. I   18  the desk carefully and found some papers   19 --- a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.
“Give me an answer”, my letter asks, “in any way you chose”. Mother, you always chose the   20  that speaks louder than words.

Once on a dark winter's day，when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they did at night，an odd-looking little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the main street.

Sara Crewe leaned against her father，who held her in his arms，as she stared out of the window at the passing people with an old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes. At this moment she was remembering the voyage she had just made from Bombay with her father，Captain Crewe. She was thinking of what a strange thing it was that at one time one was in India in the hot sun，and then in the middle of the ocean，and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets.

“Papa，” she said in a low，mysterious little voice which was almost a whisper.

“What is it，darling?”Captain Crewe answered，holding her closer and looking down into her face．

"Is this the place？＂Sara whispered.

"Yes，little Sara，it is. We have reached it at last.”

It seemed to her many years since he had begun to prepare her mind for "the place”，as she always called it. Her mother had died when she was born，so she had never known or missed her.Her young，handsome，rich father seemed to be the only relation she had in the world．

During her short life only one thing had troubled her，and that thing was "the place” she was to be taken to some day. The climate of India was very bad for children，and as soon as possible they were sent away from it-generally to England and to school.

"Couldn't you go to that place with me，Papa？＂she had asked when she was five years old．

"Couldn't you go to school，too？ I would help you with your lessons.”

"But you will not have to stay for a very long time，little Sara，”he had always said. "You will grow so fast that it will seem scarcely a year before you are big enough and clever enough to come back and take care of Papa.”

She had liked to think of that．She liked to talk to him and read his books-that would be what she would like most in the world，and if one must go away to "the place” in England to attain it，she must make up her mind to go．She liked books more than anything else，and was， in fact，always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to herself.

Captain Crewe held her very closely in his arms as the cab rolled into the big，dull square in which stood the house which was their destination．

1.The story happened_______．

A. on a moonless night B. on a foggy day

C. on a hot day D. on a starry night

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture．

For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”

This guy's a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!

He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.

Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith's term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.’’

Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. ”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.

This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

1.How much did the lottery winner lose?

A．One hundred dollars． B．Two hundred dollars．

C．Three hundred dollars． D．Four hundred dollars．

2.We may infer that the author believes people should ________.

A．buy lottery tickets if possible

B．make use of half—truths

C．be careful about what they are told

D．not trust the Yucky Company

3.How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?

A．One． B．Two． C．Three． D．Four．

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Using half truths is against the law.

B．Technically, half truths are in fact lies.

C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.

D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.

5.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A．He’s really a big loser!

B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well．

C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths．

D．It’s against the law to make false statements．

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed (展现) herself as she did nowhere else.

After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate(巨头) Aristotie Onassis Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life .She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher’s editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing（追求）a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book ,The Power of Myth. The book went on to become an international best-seller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography(自传)，Moonwalk.

Jaequeliner may have been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote. Her role as First lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.
