A
He was an old man who fished alone in a small boat on the sea and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish,the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now salao,which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone with another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty. The sail looked like the flag of failure forever.
The old man was thin with deep wrinkles(皱纹) in the back of his neck. His face was terribly brown because of the strong sunlight on the sea every day and his hands had the deep scars(伤疤)
from dealing with heavy fish on the lines. But none of these scars were fresh. Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same colour as the sea and were cheerful.
"Santiago," the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from the sea."I could go with you again. We've made some money."
The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him.
"No," the old man said."You're with a lucky boat. Stay with them."
"But remember how you went eighty-seven days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks."
"I remember," the old man said.
"It was papa who made me leave. I am a boy and I must follow him."
"I know," the old man said."It is quite normal."
"He hasn't much faith(信心)."
"No."the old man said."But we have. Haven't we?"
"Yes," the boy said. "Can I offer you a beer on the Terrace?"
"Why not?" the old man said,"Between fishermen."
( )1. The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refers to(指的是) of the old man.
A. the hands B. the scars C. the eyes D. the wrinkles
( )2. The old man refused the boy to go fishing with him again because .

Clothes Donation(捐赠)Box
Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood? If not,you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend(趋势)in Urumqi.
"From time to time,my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it's a good way to help others." Lin Tao,a junior student says.
"I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I'll put them into the donation box." Miss Li,a pretty young lady says.
"That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases." Mrs Wang,an old woman says,"Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes."
However,there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are the results:
●The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes.
●Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.
●Some communities set the box in unsuitable places. So there are few clothes in it.
●Many clothes are too old and shabby(破烂的).
"What's worse," one of the staff in a community added,"We quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. We've tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problem since we set the box."
In order to make the donation box work in an efficient(有效的)way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it'll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.
( )1 .The reporter from UTV has collected .
A. 4 problems B. 5 problems C. 6 problems D. 7 problems
( )2. All the problems about the donation box are included EXCEPT .
A. there's no more room for people to donate clothes
B. people choose unsuitable places to set the box
C. sometimes the box is broken by someone
D. the clothes in the box are too old and shabby
( )3. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 means ..
A. the clothes donation boxes
B. the old people
C. handbags and pencil cases
D. some clothes in the box
( )4. We infer(推断)from the passage that ..
A. the clothes donation will be better organized to help donators and people in need
B. the clothes donation becomes less popular than before because of serious problems
C. the clothes donation can prevent some girls from wearing clothes that are out of style
D. the clothes donation gives the traders a good idea to sell old clothes for making
money

There was a little boy with a bad temper(脾气). His father gave him some nails(钉子)to drive into the fence(栅栏)when he lost his temper.
The first day the boy drove 37 nails into the fence. Then it began to become less. He found it was easier to control his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy should now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to control his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, " You have done well, my son, but you look at the fence. It will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar(伤痕)just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound(伤口)is still there. A verbal(言语)wound is as bad as a physical one. It is important to practise self-control.
