     Cindy Green had a serious telephone problem. The brand-new $100 million Ribrock Plaza Hotel
opened nearby and had  1    almost the same telephone number as Cindy's. From the moment the hotel
opened, Cindy was   2   by calls not for her. Since she had the same phone number for years, she felt
that she should   3    the hotel management to change its number.  4  , the management refused. The
phone company was not  5  , either. It argued that a number was a number, and the fact that a customer
was getting someone else's  6  twenty-four hours a day didn't make it   7  .
     After her request fell on deaf ears, Cindy decided to take 8   into her own hands. At 9 o'clock the
phone rang. Someone from Memphis was calling the hotel and  9  a room for the following Tuesday.
Cindy said, "No 10  . How many nights?"
     A few hours later a secretary called and said that she wanted a suite (套房) 11  two bedrooms for a
week. Cindy replied that the Presidential Suite was  12    for $600 a night. The secretary said that she
would  13   it.
     The next day was a   14    one for Cindy. In the morning, she booked a car producer's conference
for Memorial Day weekend. Her biggest 15  came in the afternoon-a mother called to book the ballroom
for her daughter's wedding in June. Cindy hesitated for a while, but still   16   the woman that it would be
no problem.
     Within a few months, the Ribrock Plaza Hotel was a disaster area. People kept  17    for weddings,
reunions (聚会) and parties, and were all   18  that there were no such events.
Soon after, she read in a  19    that the hotel might go bankrupt (破产).Her phone rang, and a manager
from Marriott said, "We're prepared to   20    you $2 million for the hotel." Cindy replied, "We'll take it,
but only if you change the telephone number."

     In Africa, listening is a guiding principle. It's a principle that's been lost in the constant chat of the
Western world. From my own past experience, I noticed how much faster I had to answer a question
during a TV interview. It's as if we have completely lost the ability to listen. We talk and talk, and we
end up frightened by silence.
     Everywhere, people on the African continent write and tell stories. Even the nomads (流浪者) who
still live in the Kalahari Desert are said to tell one another stories on their daylong wanderings, during
which they search for roots and animals to hunt.
     A number of years ago I sat down on a stone bench outside the Teatro Avenida in Maputo,
Mozambique, where I worked as an artistic consultant. It was a hot day, and we were taking a break,
hoping that a cool gentle wind would move past. Two old African men were sitting on that bench, but
there was room for me, too. In Africa people share more than just water. Even when it comes to shade,
people are generous.
     I heard the two men talking about a third old man who had recently died. One of them said, "I was
visiting him at his home. He started to tell me an amazing story about something that had happened to
him when he was young. But it was a long story. Night came, and I decided that I should come back the
next day to hear the rest. But when I arrived, he was dead."
     The man fell silent. I decided not to leave that bench until I heard how the other man would respond
to what he'd heard. Finally he, too, spoke. "That's not a good way to die-before you've told the end of
your story."
     What separates us from animals is the fact that we are storytelling creatures and we can listen to other
people's dreams, fears, joys, sorrows, desires and defeats-and they in turn can listen to ours.
     Many people make the mistake of confusing information with knowledge. They are not the same thing. Knowledge involves the interpretation of information. Knowledge involves listening.
     Many words will be written on the wind and the sand, or end up in store. But the storytelling will go
on until the last human being stops listening. Then we can send the great record of human out into the
endless universe.
     Who knows? Maybe someone is out there, willing to listen…
1. From the very beginning of the passage, we can know Europeans ________.
A. actually lose the ability to listen
B. seldom chat constantly with each other
C. feel frightened when they are alone and silent
D. tend to talk more and listen less
2. It can be inferred from the passage that if you are in Africa, you will _______. 
A. suffer hot weather and lack of water      
B. be certainly helped when in trouble
C. often hear the stories told by strangers    
D. have no choice but to listen during a talk
3. According to the last three paragraphs, we can know _________.
A. no one knows exactly why Africans are willing to listen
B. information is hard to understand without interpretation
C. listening makes the difference between information and knowledge
D. the existence of humans' recordings totally depends on the way of storytelling
4. The passage mainly talks about __________.
A. the experience of the author          
B. the art of listening in Africa
C. the importance of storytelling        
D. the life styles of Africans

     I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen.
It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this
with boys of my own size or less.
     One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought
him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet,
I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength making its way
by fierce strokes (猛力地划) to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw
me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a
crowd of younger boys. "Do you know what you have done?" they said, "It's Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is
champion at gym, he has got his football honor."
     I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel and
so small. He didn't seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, "My father, who is a great man, is
also small." At this he laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be
careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.
1. The writer thought Amery "a fair game" because the boy _____.
A. looked like an animal
B. was fond of games

A. he was laughed at by other boys
B. Amery turned out to be in the same grade
C. he pushed Amery hard and hurt him
D. he played a joke on an outstanding athlete
3. By saying "My father, who is a great man, is also small", the writer _____.
A. tried to please Amery
B. challenged Amery
C. threatened Amery
D. admired his father
4. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The writer could run faster than Amery.
B. The writer liked playing on boys of all sizes.
C. Amery was a student in Grade Four.
D. Amery forgave the writer for his rude behavior.

     For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand
and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen
and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the
fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I'd bought in a market in Mozambique.
     Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of
the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. And then the other
things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
      As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty-we hadn't seen
another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced
in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the
side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them-brown,
muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.
     I shouted to Dan: "Look!", but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet.
    They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the
red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
     "Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn't you wake me up?"
     "I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds."
     "Are you sure you didn't dream it?"
     "You were the one who was sleeping!"
      'Typical, he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take."
      We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
1. During their journey in Africa, the two travelers________
A. made friends with local residents  
B. complained about the poor living conditions
C. enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most
D. recorded their experiences in different ways
2. What does the phrase "heroic forms" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Racing cars.      
B. Wild horses.          
C. Eye-catching locals.  
D. Running dogs.
3. What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?
A. He always missed out on the best thing.  
B. He had already taken beautiful pictures.
C. A sound sleep was more important.        
D. The next trip would be better.
4. What is 'the passage mainly about? 
A. How to view wildlife in Africa.            
B. Running into wildlife in Africa.
C. Tourist attractions in southern Africa.    
D. Possible dangers of travelling in the desert.

     Every object in the world will tell a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful
images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary.
Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman's shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is different about this shoe is where it was
found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in
Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as
the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn't need
in order to travel lighter?
     Over 100, 000 people with "gold fever" made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them
understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a
dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.
     The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with
them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies
in backpacks (背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to
the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman.
Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will
ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the
19th century.
