　　Heidi spoke schoolgirl English with a slight American accent to her own complete satisfaction．She had clearly no intention of doing any work．

　　When I tried weakly to suggest a plan for lessons, she kept interrupting to offer me chocolate, coffee, and cigarettes．“Excuse me, there isn’t any fruit,” she smiled, then picked up the house telephone, “Anna．Please bring some oranges．”

　　When the maid arrived with the oranges, I was forced, despite my unwillingness, to make a regular meal, with plate, knife, and fork．This destroyed the last pretence of a teacher-pupilrelationship．

　　It was a waste of time even pretending to teach her anything．If she didn’t know a word, she said it in German．If I corrected her, she repeated it in German．I was glad, of course, that she was so lazy, and only afraid that her mother might discover how little progress she was making．

　　But this was very unlikely．Most rich people, once they have decided to trust you, can be cheated to almost any extent．The only real problem for the private teacher is to get inside the door．

　　As for Heidi, she seemed to enjoy my visits．From something she said, I understood that she boasted to her school friends that she had got a real English teacher．We came to understand each other very well．I was bribed with fruit not to be troublesome about the English language; she, for her part, told her parents that I was the best teacher she had ever had We talked in German about the things that interested her．And every three or four minutes we were interrupted while she played her part in the family game of exchanging entirely unimportant messages over the house telephone．

(1)

[　　]
A．	how generous she could be

(2)

According to the teacher, rich people ________．
[　　]
A．	do not trust people who are not rich themselves
B．	often do not understand the value of money
C．	axe extremely difficult to get to know
D．	can be cheated to a great extent

(3)

How did Heidi try to use the fact that her teacher was English?
[　　]
A．	To raise the envy of her friends at school．
B．	To give an excuse for not studying English at school．
C．	To persuade her parents that the teacher was excellent．
D．	To explain her improvement in spoken English．

To "sacrifice" means to give up something for the sake of something else．We decided to sacrifice our luxurious city life to move to a seaside village with our children aged 9 and 3．In the city, we had a beautiful home and plenty of money but little real security because crime was on the increase every day．We never knew if we would all make it home safely each night．

We were very happy in the new town but life was very difficult economically．Our income was very much dependent on tourism and the jobs at other times are few．Although many of the long-standing residents live well, it is a very competitive environment for newcomers．

Reading the newspapers from big cities assured us that we had made the right choice．There is so much violence and crime there! However, it was not always easy to explain to the children why they could no longer have what they used to have, especially when our "rich" friends came from the city to visit us．Generally, they have so much but think they have so little and are always looking for more．

One day, one of our rich friends came to visit us．His son preferred riding in the back of our beat-up little pickup （小卡车） to his father' s big modern car．Our little daughter called me and said, “Mom, please help me to explain to James the reason why he is wrong．He said, ' today, if you don't have money you are nothing．' I know that is not true．If you do have money you share it with your friends and if they don't have money, you share it with them．That is what makes us all rich．" This made me realize that the sacrifice was well worth it．Our kids understand that they may not have all the spoils of city life but they do have a solid set of values and they know that our most precious gifts are our good friends and a wonderful environment．

1.What was the reason why the family moved away from the city?

A．They were tired of city life．

B．The city was not safe enough．

C．The people in the city were not friendly．

D．The cost of living in the city was too high．

2.Why was it "a very competitive environment" for them according to the author?

A．The residents were all very poor．

B．It was hard to make a living．

C．Their children couldn't get what they had in the city．

D．They had few friends in their new environment．

3.What assured the author that they had made the right choice according to the passage?

A．What she read in the newspaper．

B．The beautiful scenery of countryside．

C．The residents' living conditions．

D．That fact that they had been accustomed to the new place．

4.What did the family gain from their sacrifice?

A．They had a beautiful house in the seaside village．

B．They made a lot of money during the tourist seasons．

C．The parents got very good jobs in the new town．

D．The children developed good values．
