It’s Nice to be Home

1. I have been fortunate enough to make trips to many countries.They were wonderful adventures filled with new sights and experiences.And my wife and I have another trip in the planning stages.

We're home now and have settled back into our daily routine of life.2. I find that when I am at home,particularly for a while when we have just returned from a trip,I feel very comfortable.Perhaps it is because everything around me is familiar and the daily routine is so much the same I can move through it almost without thinking.3.Perhaps it is because we can have meals at home instead of always being in restaurants,although it's nice to let someone else do the cooking,and because I can sleep in my own bed.There are times I think it would be nice to simply stop travelling and stay home and I'm stile I would be very comfortable if that were to happen. 4.

Yet I guess I am probably a restless soul because I know that after I have been home for a while I will start to think about other places we might go and other things we want to see.We will travel again and we feel fortunate to be able to do so.5. Still,one of the best things about travelling for me is coming home.I'm very comfortable here at home even if it is difficult to say exactly why.

A.I like to travel very much.

B.I enjoy local food while travelling.

C.I like being home,for whatever reason.

I still remember—my hands and my fingers still remember—what used to lie in store for us on our return to school from the holidays. The trees in the school yard would be in full leaf again and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.

“Get that all swept up!” the headmaster would tell us. “I want the whole place cleaned up, at once!” There was enough work there, to last over a week. Especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fingers, and our nails. “Now see that it's done properly, and be quick about it,” the headmaster would say to the older pupils, “or you'll have to answer for it!”

So at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops. If the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to find it simpler to beat us with branches pulled from the trees. In order to avoid these blows(殴打), we used to bribe(贿赂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meals. And if we happened to have any money on us, the coins changed hands at once. If we did not do this, if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse, the blows were redoubled. They hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realized that we were being whipped(抽打) not so much to make us work harder, but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服从) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.

Occasionally one of us, worn out by such calculated cruelty, would have the courage to complain to the headmaster. He would of course be very angry, but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very small—nothing compared to what they had done to us. And the fact is that however much we complained, our situation did not improve in the slightest. Perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on, but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; I don't know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but I can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such beatings were completely foreign to our nature.

1.The statement “my hands and my fingers still remember” (Para.1) means that________.

A.the author's hands were severely injured in the cleaning up

B.the author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning up

C.the author was bullied by the big boys in the cleaning up

D.the author's hands were his only tool for the cleaning up

3.The headmaster asked the older boys to________.

A.beat those who worked slowly

B.treat the small boys as peanuts

C.take charge of the process of the cleaning up

D.do the cleaning up all by themselves

4.According to Para. 3, if the author had any money on him, he most probably________.

D.spent it buying midday meals for the big boys

When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no doubt that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

Certainly, most of the world's great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But as the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.

First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行) . Secondly, there is the worry that the money' you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and self-dependence.

Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.

It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.

1.What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A. Moral deeds of people.

B. Religious activities of the church.

C. Moral goodness of the giver.

D. Arguments on giving to beggars.

2.What can we infer from the sentence "But has the world changed?" in the second paragraph?

A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.

B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.

C. We don't meet with those who need help any more.

D. Now it is the government's duty to help the beggars.

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.

B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.

C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.

D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.

4.In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because .

A. the cases can be so different

B. there are so many beggars

C. there is so much money wasted

D. there are so many different arguments.

Jenkins stood at the huge plate glass window looking down at the parking lot.“You have to fire him.”

“Who?”William sighed.

“That Casey.”

Jenkins was the firm’s regional manager,and his visits were monthly inspection on William’s entire team.

“Casey? He’s my best salesman.You know,youth is a blunder(莽撞),but when he calms down,he is so devoted to his work.Why should I fire him?”

Jenkins craned(伸长)his neck to follow whatever he was watching.“I don’t think he helps to build our company image well.”

“Maybe not,but he’s really a good salesman,a team player,and he inspires everyone in the office and even the whole team here,”William said.“I won’t do it.”Technically,as director of this team,he and Jenkins were equals,but William knew that he had to play this carefully.

“Inspiring? It’s crazy.”Jenkins was looking seriously angry,face red.

“We were once young,weren’t we?”William said with a huge smile spreading across his face.“He’s doing the dodo dance.It’s not crazy.It’s SPRING.We all enjoy this time of the day!”He said,pulling down his tie as he headed to the door.
