My brother Tom was very selfish when he was a little boy. He did not want share things with other people. For example, when he bought a chocolate cake, he put them in a secret place I couldn’t find. Then he ate it all by himself. He never helped other. He said he is busy. That is, a game of tennis making him very busy. He did not care if something what he did made people anger. For instance, on one night he played strong and loudly music till four o’clock in the morning. But he is difference now. He often helps grandma with housework, helps mom with cooking and helps his classmates with their lessons.

I shall never forget the day when the earthquake took place. The time was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and I was driving along the road to take my daughter from school. Our plan was to go swimming together. I finished my work at 4 o’clock and then went to the post office. Then I stopped off at a shop in order to get some fresh fruit. We’d like to have some fruit after swimming.

I was driving along a high road on my way to my daughter’s school. Over my road was another road, which was built like a bridge for cars coming to the other way. I was hungry so I put the bag of apples in the seat beside me and started to eat one.

Suddenly I saw the cars in front of me start to move from side to side. Then my car started to shake! I didn't know what was happening. Perhaps something had gone wrong with my car. I drove more slowly and then I stopped the car and at the same moment the road fell onto the cars in front of me.

I found myself in the dark. I couldn't move. The bottom parts of both of my legs and my feet were hurting badly and I couldn't move them. All around me was quiet. But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I memorized what had happened. I had been in an earthquake.

For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of apples, so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I heard people climbing towards me. A team of people had come to see if anyone was under the broken road. I called out, “I’m here!” when I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to the side of the road near my car. “How are you doing?” he asked. “Not too bad, ”I said. “But my feet and legs feel as if they’re broken.”“We’ll have you out of there just as soon as we can.” They didn't get me out until the next morning. I had been in my car for fourteen hours.

When Dave was eighteen, he bought a secondhand car for ＄200 so that he could travel to and from work more__36__ than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but then it got so old, and it was costing him _37_much in repairs that he decided that he had better _38_it.

He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly_ 39_ to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so_40_ of them had any desire to buy it. Dave's friend Sam saw that he was _41_ when they met one evening, and said, “What's _42_, Dave?”

Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising it in the paper? You may 43_more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's 44_was sensible(合理的),he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read “For sale: small car, _45_ very little petrol, only two owners. Bargain at 50.”

For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no _46_.But then on Saturday evening he had an enquiry(询问).A man rang up and said he would like to see him about the 47. “All right,” Dave said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be_48_or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I'll _49_my wife. We intend to go for a ride in it to _50_ it.”

The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave 51 the car in the square outside his front door, _52_ to wait there for the people who had answered his advertisement. Even Dave had to _53_that the car really looked like a wreck(残骸).Then, soon after he had got the car as clean_54_ it could be, a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out.

The dirty, homeless man sat on the pavement, staring at the atones. He thought back more than twenty years to when he was a boy living in a small red brick house on this very street. He recalled the flower garden, the swing his dad made, and the bike he had saved up for months to buy.
The man shrugged impatiently, for the brightness of those pictures hurt him, and his memory travelled on another ten years. He had a job by then, plenty of friends and started to come home less. He did not really want to remember those years, nor the day when, because o’ debts, he had gone home planning to ask for money. He felt embarrassed, but he knew exactly where his dad kept the money. When his parents stepped out of the room, he took what he wanted and left.
That was the last time he had seen them. Ashamed, he went abroad, and his parents knew nothing about the years of wandering or time in prison. But locked in his cell he often thought of home. Once free, he would love to see his parents again, if they were still alive, and still wanted to see him.
When his prison time was up, he found -a job, but couldn’t settle. Something was drawing him home. He did not want to arrive penniless, so he hitchhiked most of the long journey back. But less than a mile from his destination he started to feel sick with doubt. Could they ever accept this man who had so bitterly disappointed them?
He spent most of that day sitting under a tree. That evening he posted a letter which, although short, had taken him hours to write. It ended with:
I know it is unreasonable of me to suppose you want to see me ... so it’s up to you. I’ll come early Thursday morning. If you want me home, hang a white handkerchief in the window of my old bedroom. If it’s there, I’ll come in; if not, I’ll wave good-bye and go.
And now it was Thursday morning and he was sitting on the pavement at the end of the street. Finally he got up and walked slowly toward the old house. He drew a long breath and looked.
His parents were taking no risks. ________________________________________________

The man threw his head back, gave a cry of relief and ran straight through the open front door.
【小题1】 Why did the man shrug impatiently (paragraph 2) while he was thinking of his childhood?

Jack is a twenty-year-old young man. Two years ago, when he finished middle school, he found work in a shop. Usually he works until ten o'clock in the evening. He is very tired when he gets home. After a quick supper he goes to bed and soon falls asleep. His grandma who lives downstairs is satisfied with (满意) him.
　　One day, on his way home, he met Mary. They were both happy. He asked the girl to his house, she agreed happily. He bought some fruit and drinks for her. And they talked about their school, teachers, classmates and their future (未来). They talked for a long time.
　　"Have a look at your watch, please," said the girl. "What time is it now?"
　　"Sorry, something is wrong with my watch," said Jack. "Where's yours?"
　　"I left it at home."
　　Jack thought for a moment and found a way. He began to stamp his foot on the floor, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
　　The sound woke his grandma up. The old woman shouted downstairs, "It's twelve o'clock in the night, Jack. Why are you still jumping upstairs?"
