Modesty(谦逊) is a valuable quality in many cultures around the world. In China, this is no different. However, the phrase “毛遂自荐” seems to disagree with this.
During the Warring States Period, the Qin army marched on Handan. Seeing that Handan was in danger, Prince Pingyuan looked for help from the state of Chu. He wanted to pick 20 talented people to go with him. However, he could only find 19 people who were good enough. Then, a man named Mao Sui volunteered. Prince Pingyuan looked at Mao Sui with doubt, “How long have you been here with me ”
“Three years,” Mao Sui answered.
“I hear that a person with talent is like an awl in a cloth bag. Its sharp point will soon pierce through the bag. You’ve been here for a long time, but l haven’t seen any of your achievements. Maybe you don’t have any talent.” said Prince Pingyuan.
“What I’m asking you now is to put me into that bag. If you do that, I will pierce through it. But not only the point-the whole awl,” Mao Sui said confidently.
Impressed, Prince Pingyuan allowed Mao to join his team, and Mao proved very helpful. Now the phrase “Mao Sui recommending himself” is used to describe someone who volunteers to do a task.
However, there is a fine line between self-confidence and arrogance(傲慢). It’s important to believe in yourself, but a strong ego(自负) can harm your career and professional relationships. So we recommend letting your work speak for itself.
（ ）1.What is an awl like
A. It has much talent. B. It has a sharp point.
C.It looks like Maosui. D. I t looks like a cloth bag.
（ ）2. What does the phrase “毛遂自荐” mean in this passage
A. Showing modesty. B. Feeling unconfident.
C.Being honest enough. D. Volunteering for a task.
（ ）3. The underline words “do that” in Paragraph 5 refers to____________.
A. put an awl into a bag B. put Mao Sui into a bag
C. let Mao Sui join the team D. let Mao Sui leave Prince Pingyuan
（ ）4. What can we learn from the passage
A. Modesty isn’t a valuable quality. B. Mao Sui was a modest person.
C. Prince Pingyuan didn’t like Mao Sui. D. We should believe in ourselves.

June came and the hottest month of the year began. A lot of travelers came to the city by the sea. All of the hotels were full except Mr Johnson’s. The prices of all the rooms were the lowest in the city but few people stayed there. The fire broke out three times in a year and four travelers died in the accidents. Most workers left there and found jobs in the other hotels. Mr Johnson had to do most work himself.
It was eleven o’clock. Most rooms were still empty. Mr Johnson worked for the whole day and was very tired. He went to close the gate when a young man came in, with a big bag in his hand.
　　“What can I do for you, sir ” asked Mr Johnson.
　　“The cheapest room in your hotel.”
　　“OK,” said Mr Johnson, “but it’s on the top floor.”
　　“It doesn’t matter. I think you have a lift in your hotel.”
　　“Of course, sir,” said the manager. “It’ll take you right there. By the way, may I keep your bag for you ”
　　“No, thanks. There’s nothing expensive in it but a long rope.”
　　“Oh What do you bring it with you for ”
　　“I’m afraid another fire will happen in your hotel. If it does, I’ll throw the rope out of the window so that I’ll be able to escape (逃脱)from it.”
