There’s a man in the habit of hitting me on the head with an umbrella.At first I couldn’t stand it, now I’m used to it.

I don’t know his name.I know he’s average in appearance, wears a gray suit, and has a common face.I met him five years ago one hot morning when I was sitting on a tree-shaded bench in Palermo Park, reading the paper.Suddenly I felt something touch my head.It was the very same man who now, as I’m writing, keeps hitting me, mechanically (机械地) and impassively, with an umbrella.

On that occasion I turned around filled with anger.He just kept on hitting me.I asked him if he was crazy, he didn’t even seem to hear me.Then I threatened to call a policeman.Calmly, cool as a cucumber, he stuck with his task.After a few moments of hesitation, and seeing that he was not about to change his attitude, I stood up and hit him on the nose.The man fell down, but he immediately got back on his feet, obviously with great effort, and without a word again began hitting me on the head with the umbrella.His nose was bleeding and, at that moment, I felt sorry for him.I felt regret for having hit him so hard.After all, the man wasn’t exactly hitting me; he was merely tapping me lightly with his umbrella, not causing any pain at all.Of course, those taps were extremely bothersome.As we all know, when a fly lands on your forehead, you don’t feel any pain; what you feel is annoyance.Well then, that umbrella was one huge fly that kept landing on my head time after time.

Convinced that I was dealing with a madman, I tried to escape.But the man followed me, wordlessly continuing to hit me.So I began to run (I should point out that not many people run as fast as I do).He took off after me, trying to land a blow.The man was out of breath so that I thought, if I continued to force him to run at that speed, he would drop dead right then and there.

41.When the man began to strike the author with an umbrella, the author ________.

   A.became angry                    B.called the police

   C.turned around and escaped     D.turned around and fought back

42.The author would most probably agree that the man was ________.

     A.deaf          B.blind           C.dead           D.mad

43.The author felt sorry for the man because ________.

     A.the man formed a bad habit of beating others

     B.he hit the man so hard that his nose bled

     C.the man couldn’t catch up with him

     D.there was a fly on the man’s head

44.It can be learned from the passage that the man ________.

     A.shouted loudly while hitting the author

     B.wanted to tell the author something

     C.ran after the author breathlessly

     D.acted as if he were a fly

One day a young man called Jim was told to take the  21  examination the next day. He was   22   so much that he couldn’t get to sleep. He wouldn’t join the army because he was in love with a beautiful girl. “If only I could find a   23   to make the doctor believe there is something    24  with my body,” he thought and thought. Suddenly, a good idea crossed his mind.

The next morning Jim got to the   25   on time and was led into a large room. He hurriedly found a seat to sit down and took out an out-of-date newspaper,   26   to read it. Soon it was his turn to be examined. When he came up to the doctor, the old man took a quick and sharp look at him. Then in a   27   he ordered Jim to take off his clothes, go straight to a corner and sit down on a chair there. No sooner had he seated himself on the chair than he heard the doctor murmuring to his assistant: “Finished! The boy is  28   up to the standard.”

“How can you draw such a   29   like that before you give me a  30  check? Jim shouted at the doctor.

“Don’t be impetuous(冲动), young man! Put on your clothes, and then I’ll  31   it to you,” the doctor said   32  .“You said we didn’t examine you carefully, but I don’t think it

  33   for us to do that. When I told you in a low voice to take off your clothes, you did it as I told you. It shows you have good  34  . When you were asked to go and sit on the chair, you did so, too. It shows you can see any subject within a certain distance.   35  , you were found reading the newspaper just now, and we are certain you are a man of intelligence.

  36 , you’re perfect in mind and body.” 

Half a year later, Jim was killed on the battlefield. At the news his girlfriend nearly went

  37  . She kept weeping. “Don’t be like that, my dear.” It was an old man’s  38   voice. “Your Jim died a real man. He   39  his life to the people all over the world. It is right that we should be proud of him…” Saying this, the old man, her father, was choked(哽咽). His only   40   was that he had never had Jim know who he was. This old man was the medical officer who had given Jim the health check.
