farm and hoped to find a job in a big city. He went from one company to another but no one wanted him.
With little money left, he got to the station, sad and tired. All he wanted to do was go back to his small town.

      Alice always wanted to be a singer. Music was the most important thing in her life. To tell you the truth,
she took lessons for years, and practiced every day, but her voice didn't improve. In fact, it didn't get better;
it just got louder.
      Her teacher gave up in the end and stopped the lessons, but Alice refused to give in. One day she decided
to give a concert and invited her teacher to attend.
      The teacher was very worried about what to say after the concert. She knew it would be terrible and it
was. She didn't want to tell a lie, but she didn't want to hurt Alice's feelings, either. At last, she got an idea
and went backstage to greet her student.
       "Well," said Alice, "what did you think of my singing?"

     After filling the car with gas, I continued driving to the airport. The roads were quite bumpy (颠簸) and I
noticed that the highway department was doing some reconstruction, although some parts of the road hadn't
been completed yet. I drove on a completed part of the highway that was flat and smooth for one and a half
hours. Afterwards, the road became a little rough and bumpy again, and there weren't even any street lights
on the side of the road. We started driving in the early hours of the morning and I think because it was really
early and drivers on the road were tired so they couldn't concentrate (集中注意力). I saw three separate car
accidents during the journey. 
     When starting driving in an area that I didn't know well, I let the other car lead the way and I followed
behind them. As we were driving inside a tunnel, I suddenly saw a truck hit the side of the wall, rebound (反
弹), then turned back onto the middle of the road. The truck nearly hit the car in front of us. I think the driver
of the truck must have fallen asleep at the wheel otherwise this wouldn't have happened. He nearly caused a
car accident.
     I was driving behind the cars and I saw everything happen in front of me. The incident gave me such a
fright that it immediately woke me up. In my mind I kept telling myself that I was driving a car and that I had
to stay alert (清醒). To my relief, all the members in the other car were okay because if that truck really did
hit the car traveling in front of us, I don't think I'd be able to make it back to Hong Kong. Not only that, all the
passengers in the other car would have to go to hospital.
1. From the first paragraph we know the road _____.
[     ]
A. was bumpy all the way to the airport
B. was blocked by three car accidents
C. was bright because of the street lights
D. was being repaired
2. There were car accidents during the writer's journey mainly because _____.
[     ]
A. the traffic was heavy in the morning
B. there were no street lights
C. sleepy drivers couldn't fix their attention
D. the road was very bumpy
3. What can we know from the passage?
[     ]
A. An accident happened inside the tunnel.
B. The truck driver may have fallen asleep when driving.
C. The writer's car was almost hit by the truck.
D. All the passengers in the other car were sent to the hospital.
4. When the incident happened, the writer was _____.
[     ]

amazed (惊奇). From then on, he had a new life.

     Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be
any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So
I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly
reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
     The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth-so I
decided that my way must be wrong.　　
     I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the
shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair.
How much do you want for it, sir?" "Twenty pounds," I said. "OK," he said, "I'll give you twenty pounds."
"It's got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, it's nothing."　　
     Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked.
"Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I'll buy it," I said. "What do you mean? You've just
sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty-seven
pounds for it." "You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want.
You want me to repair your chair." "You're right," I said. And what would you have done if I had walked
in and said, "Would you mend this chair for me?" "I wouldn't have agreed to do it," he said. "We don't do
repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?"
He was a very nice man and was greatly amuse (感到有趣) by the whole thing.
