The 3 was that I’d completely forgotten about it. I 4 , “Is there anything else I’ve done wrong, but didn’t apologized for?”
Again, his 5 was immediate, “Remember last Christmas when Mom said you had to go to the 6 because Stephen was going to be born? You left us at home and 7 in a hurry. Remember?”
“Well, you left and forgot the suitcase.” I couldn’t believe he 8 all the details! “After you came back from the hospital you were 9 . When you got home, the suitcase had been opened and everythinghad been thrown all over the place, and you 10 me.”
“And you didn’t do it?” I asked.

My heart sank. I felt 11 . I hugged Keith and asked him to 12 me. His Honesty made me think of our other son, Kevin. Maybe I’d hurt his feelings, too. I went to ask him the same question.

Mr. Brown first went to look at the underground-fire when he was seven. “Through the hole in the earth you could see the orange fire, but you had to look fast because it was so hot,” said Mr. Brown. In 1898,he saw the fire once more.
Now, we can only see the smoke. The fire Mr. Brown saw is not the underground-fire. In fact ,there are 260 coal fires in the world. They are harmful and dangerous. Then how to put them out?

Cameron thought of himself as merely organized. He certainly did not consider that he took great pains over anything, he did just enough to get it right. Exactly right, of course, for as he was fond of telling his staff, "if it's not exactly right, it's wrong". Occasionally a worker might be sad on hearing these words, because it meant another hour or so of going over the same bit of work, correcting the mistakes which Cameron had patiently pointed out. And doing the corrections exactly right of course.
Strangely enough, his department had the reputation for performing the highest quality work in the company, and it was seen, and not only by those who worked in the department, as a sort of elite (出类拔萃) unit. Those programmes that had to work first time, straight out of the box, Cameron's men got those. "It's mission (任务) critical—give it to Cameron" was almost a catch-phrase with his team.
It helped that Cameron was not merely particular about things. He wanted things done just so, not because of a personal taste, but because he had discovered through patient experimentation that this was the best way for it to be done.
In Cameron's dictionary, "Take as long as you want" meant that you could work on your task not just in office hours, but that evening, and late into the early hours of the following morning if you so desired. But the project had to be in by its completion date, and yes, done exactly right. Or you did it again.
But he would always be regarded, and not least by himself, as someone who had failed to meet requirements, one of those who just couldn't cut it. You had to face it, if you were not working for Cameron, you were second best. So when word got out that Cameron had messed up, big time, the news was greeted with a mixture of sympathy, and entire relief that this perfection too was human.
【小题1】Cameron was a___________.
| A．software programmer | B．a chief scientist |
| C．quality controller | D．head of department |
| A．Cameron's work was error-free | B．Cameron was critical |
| C．he didn't mind working late | D．he had a good team |
| A．they were part of an elite |
| B．their mission was critical |
| C．Cameron was very particular about things |
| D．Cameron was patient and responsible |
| A．He didn’t cut corners. | B．He wasn't good enough. |
| C．He had the wrong measurements. | D．He was a perfection. |
| A．He never got things wrong. |
| B．He didn’t allow for any mistake. |
| C．He encouraged work to be done in office hours. |
| D．He was often misunderstood. |
| A．positive | B．sympathetic |
| C．non-subjective | D．optimistic |
【小题1】 People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. 【小题2】 One of the first kinds of money was shells.
Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks, monkey tails and salt were used as money in parts of Africa.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the centre. 【小题3】 Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. 【小题4】 Sweden and Russia used copper (铜) to make their money. Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. 【小题5】 The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
| A．The first coins in England were made of tin (锡). |
| B．But people used to use all kinds of things as money. |
| C．No one knows for certain when people began to use money. |
| D．People strung (串连) them together and carried them from place to place. |
F. They began to use paper money.
G. Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services.
