One winter morning, an old couple around the age of 70, walked into a lawyer’s office to sign
a 36 after quarreling all their 45 years of marriage. The lawyer was very 37 , after having a chat with them, he got their 38 . They hung on because of their children, afraid that it might 39 their growth. Now, all they wanted was to lead their own life free from all these years of __40 from their marriage, so both agreed on a divorce.
The lawyer was having a hard time getting the papers done, but he still couldn’t understand why the old couple would want a divorce, suggesting a 41 together, just three of them. At the table, there was a silence of 42 . The first dish was roasted chicken. 43 , the old man took the drumstick for the old lady, “Take this, it’s your favorite. ” Looking at this, the lawyer thought maybe there was still a 44 , but the wife answered frowning. “This is where the problem 45 . You always think so highly of yourself, never thought about how I feel, don’t you know that I hate 46 ?”
Little did she know that, over the years, her husband was trying all ways to 47 her; little did she know that drumsticks were her husband’s favorite. Little did he know that she never thought he understood her at all; little did he know that she hated drumsticks even though all he wanted was the best for her.
That night, both of them were difficult to fall asleep. After hours, the old man couldn’t 48_ it any more, wanting to tell her himself, “I love you and I can’t live without you.” He picked up the phone to dial her number. Ringing never stopped. On the other side, she was upset, 49 to answer any phones. The next day, she received news that he had 50 , learning that he had a heart attack when he was still trying to get through her phone line.
51 enough, she had to clear his 52 in his apartment , only to find an insurance policy（保险单）dating from the day when they got married, and the beneficiary （受益人）was her. Together in that file there was this note: “To my dearest wife, I bought this policy for you, 53__ the amount is only $100, I hope it will be able to help me continue my promise that I made when we got married, and I want you to know I will always be around by your side. I love you.” Tears __54 freely down her cheeks when the lady read it.

听第10段材料，回答第18～20题。
This topic is about greeting in China．A few years ago, people would greet each other with the words “Have you had your breakfast or lunch or supper?” “Yes, how about you?” Then politely, both would leave with a smile on their faces．
This kind of greeting tells us what people cared about many years ago．For many years, having enough to eat was the most important thing for the Chinese people．The life of most people in China has become much better now．They do not worry about their food and clothing any more．The greeting has changed to “What are you going to do?” or “Where are you going?”
Though the greeting has no other meaning than saying hello, it often puzzles other people who are not familiar with China．Nowadays, more and more people are using “How are you?” to greet each other．It is certainly the best way for people to say hello to each other．
18．What did people mostly care about many years ago?
A．Are you full or hungry?
B．Where are you going?
C．Good manners．
19．What does the change of greetings in China show?
A．People are less polite to each other．
B．People have bad manners now．
C．People’s life is better．
20．Which is the best way for people to say hello to each other?
A．How do you do?
B．How are you?
C．Good morning．
My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper．I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something．In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?"
"You bet," I cried quickly catching the joke．Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools．You had to be entered at birth, if not before．Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father．He disliked any form of showing off．He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100．
This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped．Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.
It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them．I remember my eyes stinging（刺痛）and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings．There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.
"Oh, he doesn't want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn't go on like this.”
“It's up to him," said my father．" He can make up his own mind."
1．His father sold his Roils-Royce because ________.
A．it made him feel uneasy B．it was too old to work well
C．it was too expensive to possess D．it was too cheap
2．The writer's father enjoyed being different as long as ________.
A．it drew attention to him B．it didn't bring him in arguments
C．it was understood as a joke D．there was no danger of his showing off
3．What was the writer's reaction to the idea of going to Eton?
A．He was very unhappy． B．He didn't believe it.
C．He was delighted． D．He had mixed feelings.
4．We can know from the passage that ________.
A．children who can go to Eton are very famous
B．children can go to Eton if they will
C．it is very difficult for a child to get admitted by Eton
D．children don't have the right to decide whether they will go to Eton
