25、 There was a businessman who was deep in debt(债务) and could see no way out. He sat on a park bench, head in his hands.
Suddenly, an old man appeared before him. “I can see that something is troubling you,” he said. After listening to the businessman’s story, the old man wrote out a check(支票), and put it in his hand, saying, “Take it and pay me back here exactly one year from today.” Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.
The businessman saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, one of the richest men in the world.
“I can pay off my debts in a second!” he realized. But instead, the businessman decided to put the check in his safe(保险箱). Just knowing it was there might give him the power to save his business, he thought.
He went back and worked hard to make his business successful. Within several months, he was out of debt and making money once again.
Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. Behind the old man was a nurse. The nurse spoke to the businessman and said that the old man was mentally ill and was always telling people he was John D. Rockefeller.
The businessman was shocked to hear this. All year long he’d been buying and selling, believing that he had half a million dollars behind him. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn’t the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his newfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after.
【1】The businessman probably felt_________when he got the check from the old man.
A.anxious B.excited C.annoyed D.unhappy
【2】The business put the check away because_________.
A.he didn’t want it to be stolen B.having the money brought him confidence
C.he hoped to find his real owner D.he was scared of spending it
【3】What does the underlined word “mentally” mean in Chinese?
A.心理上 B.身体上 C.言语上 D.行动上
【4】What happened at the agreed-upon time the next year?
A.The old man asked the businessman to pay back at once.
B.The businessman returned the check to the old man.
C.The old man didn’t remember he was John D. Rockefeller.
D.The businessman found out that the old man had a mental illness.
【5】What does the story tell us?
A.Poor people are less confident than the rich.
B.It is easy for rich people to become poor.
C.Self-confidence plays a big role in one’s life.
D.Mentally ill people understand life’s basic truths.
26、I live in Mentone, a quiet, simple, restful place, where the rich never come. I met Theophile Magnan, a retired, rich, old man from Lyons yesterday, in the Hotel des Anglais. Theophile looked sad and dreamy, and didn’t talk with anybody else, which brought me back to the past.
A long time ago, Francois Millet, Claude, Carl and I were young artists—very young artists—in fact.
Yes, Francois Millet, the great French artist, was my friend.
Millet wasn’t any greater than we were at that time. He didn’t have any fame, even in his own village. We were all poor, though we had stacks and stacks of as good pictures as anybody in Europe painted. Once a person ever offered four francs for Millet’s “Angelus”, which he intended to sell for eight.
It was a fact in human history that a great artist would never be acknowledged(承认) until after he was starved and dead. His pictures climbed to high prices after his death.
Then we made a decision that one of us must die, to save the others and himself.
Millet was chosen-chosen to die.
During the next three months, Millet painted with all his might, enlarged his stock all he could, not pictures, but sketches, studies, parts of studies, fragments of studies, of course, with his cipher on them. They were the things to be sold.
Carl went to Paris to start the work of building up Millet’s name. Claude and I went to sell Millet’s small pictures and to build up his name as well.
We made Millet a master. I always said to my customer, “I am a fool to sell a picture of Francois Millet’s at all, for he is not going to live three months, and when he dies, his pictures can’t be had for love or money.” Claude and I took care to spread that little fact as far as we could. Carl made friends with the correspondents(客户), and got Millet’s condition reported to England and all over the continent, and America, and everywhere.
The sad end came at last. Millet died, not really. He became Theophile Magnan.
The pictures went up. There’s a man in Paris today who owns seventy Millet’s pictures. He paid us two million francs for them. Do you still remember the “Angelus”? Carl sold it for twenty-two hundred francs. And as for the bushels of sketches and studies which Millet produced in the last six weeks, well, it would astonish you to know the figure we sell them at nowadays.
We are no longer artists and Millet died.
【1】Why did the four friends decide to choose one of them to die?
A.They wanted to be rich.
B.They wanted to be famous.
C.They wanted to save money.
D.They wanted to be respected
【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage?
A.The writer lives a busy life in Mentone.
B.Millet was finally made a famous artist.
C.Millet painted best among the four friends.
D.The story was written in memory of Millet.
【3】What made the four friends’ plan successful?
A.That they didn’t want to be artists any longer.
B.That Millet’s pictures were sold at very high prices.
C.People’s attitude towards the artists who were starving.
D.People’s desire to own valuable art works at low prices.
27、At home during suppertime, Pete announced, “Baba Olena wants us to come for Easter dinner.” Mom shook her head, “That’s sweet, but I don’t think so.” Dad laughed, “I wouldn’t want to seem rude if I didn’t like her cooking. Can you tell her thanks but we already have plans?”
Pete sighed. His parents hardly knew Baba Olena. They didn’t know about her pastries (糕点) and funny sayings. All they saw was an Ukrainian woman with strange hair and a yard full of chickens.
On Easter Sunday, they passed Baba Olena’s house as they headed for Dixie’s Diner. When they arrived, they found the diner was dark, and no cars were in front of it. “What?” said Dad. “They’re always open!” “Not today,” Mom said. “Guess we’ll be making sandwiches.”
Across the street, Baba Olena stepped out of the house, waving to them.
Pete shouted, “Looks like Baba’ s expecting us.” “We can’t go there, Dad said, but Baba was hurrying over.
“You came! I’m so happy,” she said. “This morning 1 saw the diner is closed and thought maybe you will come.”
Inside, Pete’s parents sat stiff (僵硬地) as yardsticks while Baba was busy with her pastries happily. Dad looked at something red on the table. “What’s this?” “Beet (甜菜) salad. I use the juice for my hair. “Baba and Pete smiled at each other.
“And this—” She set down bowls of what looked like little half-moon pastries -“is Ukrainian stuffed dumplings. These have cabbage filling; those have potato. No crane today.”
Mum looked at her, open-mouthed.
Pete laughed and explained about the “crane” chips. Dad and Mum laughed, too.
Mum took a small bite. “Delicious!” “Oh, good you like it.” Baba said.
By the time she cut the round Easter bread, everyone was talking. “Now I see why Pete wanted to eat here,” Dad said. Mum nodded. “And why he speaks highly of you nonstop.”
Later, Baba brought out the basket of eggs. “It’s an old Ukxrainian tradition to play with Easter eggs,” she said. “See, Pete, hold yours to mine, end to end, like this. The egg that doesn’t break, wins.”
Pete held his egg ready. “I already won something,” he said.
