     My son Karl talked little after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But
the more I tried, the more withdrawn he became. His report card arrived, saying that he had been absent 95
times from classes and failed in the exams. I sent him to the school advisor, and I even begged him. Nothing
worked.
     One day, I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to
talk to you about Karl's absences." Before he could say another word, all my disappointment and sadness over
Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son but I just don't know what to do. I've tried
everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It's out of my hands." For a moment there
was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank you for your time", and hung
up.
     Karl's next report card showed marked (显著的) improvement in his grades. Last week I attended a parent-
teacher meeting with Karl. His teachers praised him a lot and were amazed at the way he had turned himself
around. On our way home, he said, "Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That
was me. I thought I'd play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you.
That's when I knew I had to make you proud."

  The hospital was very busy.The nurse hurried from patient to patient.They did not have time to talk to them or answer their questions.Instead they just gave them their medicines, made their beds and moved on.

  The head nurse was as busy as a bee.She had to walk around with the doctors, make sure the nurse were doing their work, complete her reports and answer the phone.

  Many of the phone calls were from the friends and relatives(亲属)of the patients.They were telephoning for information about the people in the hospital.

  One phone call, however, was a little different from all the others.

  The phone rang and the head nurse answered it.“Hello,”she said.

  “Can you tell me if this condition(状况)is good?”the voice asked.

  “Yes,”the woman replied.“He is comfortable(舒适的)and the operation is a success.”

  “When do you think he will be able to go home?”the voice asked.

  “Oh, today is Monday.Perhaps at the end of the week,”the head nurse said.Then she asked,“May I tell him who is asking about him?”

It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had phoned London

20090327

 
from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods to declare. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy (处事之道). I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, “have you read this?” I replied with extreme foolishness, “yes, hundreds of times.”

“And you have nothing to declare?”

“Nothing.”

“How long have you been out of this country?”

“About three months.”

“And during that time you  have bought nothing?”

“Nothing but what is on the list I have given you.”

He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was completely unexpected.

“Where did you get that watch?”

I could have kicked myself, two days before, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for only six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.

I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate(没收)the replacement.

“It is not a question of confiscation, ” he said, “there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?”

It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband(走私品); then he began to search my luggage.

1.The writer arrived at London airport        .

       A.at one o’clock in the morning                B.late at night

       C.in the early morning                             D.early in the evening

2.From the questions asked by the customs officer we can infer that      .

       A.he wanted to embarrass the writer

       B.he was just doing his duty

       C.he must have noticed the writer’s ugly watch

       D.he must have noticed the writer’s tiredness

3.Why did the writer buy the watch in the market?

       A.It was a Rolex.                                    B.His own watch didn’t work.

       C.He didn’t like his own watch at all.        D.The watch was cheap.

4.What do you suppose will probably happen to the writer in the end?

      A.He will be let go through the customs without any punishment.

       B.He will be given a fine as a punishment.

       C.His Rolex will be confiscated.

       D.His cheap watch will be confiscated.
