There was a time when I thought my dad didnt know a thing about being a good father. I couldnt remember him ever saying the words “I love you”. It seemed to me his life purpose(目標) was to say “No” to anything I wanted to do, including getting a car. Some parents bought their kids cars when they got their drivers licenses. Not my dad—he said Id have to get a job and buy my own.

So thats what I did. I got a job __1__ a busgirl and saved every penny I could. And when I had enough money to buy my car, I __2__it!The day I brought that car home, my dad was the first one I wanted to __3__ it off to. “Look. Dad, a car of my own—all on my own. If you ever want a ride, Ill charge you five dollars.” I __4__ with a smug smile.

One day, my fathers truck had to go for a repair. So he asked me for a ride to work.

“Okay, but you have to pay on delivery(搭載). I dont __5__ credit(賒帳).” “I see” was all he said.

The __6__ wasnt even up when we left the house, but it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a hot day. As I __7__ my dad off, I watched him, dressed in his work clothes, getting his tools from my car. Watching his every __8__, I looked in the rear view mirror at his sun-weathered face, and even from a distance I could tell there were more __9__ than I ever remembered __10__ there before. Right then I realized he actually got down __11__ his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete(混凝土) to make a living for his family day in and __12__ out, no matter how hot it got.

__13__, not once, had I heard him complain(抱怨) about the great sacrifice(犧牲) he made for us—so much that hes __14__ to do this hard labor without asking for anything in return. To him, we were “__15__” it. And never once did he “__16__” us for it.

Closing the trunk, he walked over to my window to hand me my five dollars. I __17__ down the window and said, “Bye. Dad. Keep your __18__. Its on me.” I added, “Dont work too hard. I love you.”

At first, he looked puzzled, then in a clumsy(笨拙的) sort of way—pleased. “I __19__,” he said, then added, “thanks for the ride.” His eyes__20__ mine, then clearing his throat he said, “Oh, and…me, too.” As I drove away, I knew “Me, too” was enough because my father showed me his love with actions, day after day, year after year.

HONG KONG—Nine out of ten Singapore citizens returned dropped wallets with money in them, but in Hong Kong only three out of 10 wallets were returned in an honesty test carried out in Asian cities by Readers Digest(讀者文摘).

Larger cities did worse while in general people in smaller places returned secretly planted wallets, results from the experiment showed.

Readers Digest secretly scattered 140 wallets all over Asia, each with a name, address and phone number, family pictures, notes and money in it.

The magazine workers then watched to see what happened.

South Koreans in Seoul returned six out of the ten dropped wallets,while those in Inchon returned eight.

50 percent of the dropped wallets were returned in Bombay, Bangkok, Taipei and Kajang in Malaysia, with most people saying they would not keep what was not rightfully theirs.

Honesty had little relation to wealth or status(地位), as several well-dressed people in a number of cities were observed to walk away without doing anything to get in touch with the rightful owners.

About 57 percent of the wallets were returned, compared with 28 per- cent in Europe in a similar experiment and 67 percent in the United States.

“You know,” said Mother, pouring herself a third cup of tea, “your cousin Jill really ought to get another job. I cant think why she works for that dreadful man, Hubert Moon.”

“But she likes it,” I protected, “she meets a lot of interesting people, and the moneys good.”

“Money isnt everything,” said Mother, “anyway, I think she ought to be paid a great deal more for what she does—answering the telephone all day and then typing those terrible stories of his, I wonder she doesnt have nightmares.”

“Oh, Jill just thinks theyre funny,” I said, “shes not the kind to have nightmares.”

Jill works for a popular writer of Science Fiction, and since Mother only reads romantic stories with happy ending—she always looks at the back first to see how a book ends before she takes it out of the library—she regards Jills boss almost as if he were a visitor from another planet.

“Anyway,” I said, “Hubert Moon is a very nice person. He never asks Jill to work overtime or minds if she comes a bit late in the mornings. And just because his things have been done on television, thats no reason to make him out a monster.”

“I dont believe in monsters,” said Mother firmly, “I just think Jill ought to change her job.”

Japanese people, who never miss a chance to be photographed, were lining up to get their pictures on a postage stamp. Vanity（虛榮） stamps with personal photographs went on sale for the first time in Japan as part of an international postage stamp exhibition. The customers photo was taken with a digital camera and then printed on stamp sheets, a process that takes about five minutes. Sold in a sheet of 10 stamps for $8.80, little more than the cost of lunch in Tokyo, each stamp printed a different scene from a traditional painting along with the photo.

The stamps can be used normally to mail a letter, and postal officials hope they will help encourage interest in letter writing in the Internet age.“Certainly e-mail is a useful method of communication, but letters are fun in a different way,” said Hatsumi Shimizu, an official in the Post Ministry. “We want to show young people that letters can be fun too.”

While similar stamp sheets appeared in Australia in 1999 and are now sold in some nations and territories, Japaneses fondness for commemorative photos is likely to make them especially popular here.Indeed, officials had prepared 1000 sheets but they were sold out in less than 30 minutes. Although the stamps are currently only available as a special service during the exhibition, postal officials said they may start selling them on a regular basis in the future.

13. The best title of this passage might be ____.

A. Never Miss a Chance to be Photographed

B. Your Own Face on a Postage Stamp

C. First Japanese Postage Stamps with a Photo

D. Letters are as Fun as E-mails

A. to make the international postage stamp exhibition more interesting

B. to make more stamps for normal use

C. to draw interest in writing letters

D. to satisfy Japaneses fondness of commemorative photos

C. Japanese people can get this kind of stamps easily after the stamp

exhibition

Recently, in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-to-door salesman.

I once read a saying, “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they dont, you may be treated as coldly as winter.” You may consider this an exaggeration(夸張), but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct.

You would never have found it to be so true if you hadnt been a salesman. You neednt stand doubtful looks and not to say that it is quite right; you neednt worry about being refused time after time; you neednt always keep patience and a smile; you neednt repeat the same sentences over and over again; you neednt talk to somebody you dislike…

I did this work for a month, then I decided to give it up. Besides the reasons above, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus losing my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting worse. Even worse, I hadnt enough time to join my classmates in the college activities. Sometimes I felt tired and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job. Now I dont think it is worth doing such a thing for even though I was earning money it came at great cost.

Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about excellent students who do part-time work while also keeping high scores in class. But according to my experience, part-time work can have strong negative influences on study.

Most students dont consider the relationship between study and work correctly. In my opinion, if it isnt a must for money, students should be careful about doing part-time work.

17. From the text, we can tell that the writer is ____.

A. a man out of work B. a middle-school student

C. a college student D. a door-to-door salesman

18. What made the writer give up his part-time job? ____.

a. His grades were getting worse.

b. He did the job for a month.

c. He was once a salesman.

d. He often missed some college activities.

e. Sometimes he felt tired and unhappy.

A. b, c & d B. a, c & e C. a, b & e D. a, d & e

19. The writer thought ____.

A. doing a part-time job was unnecessary

B. part-time jobs had good influence on study

C. it was hard to deal with the relationship between study and work

D. part-time jobs would be good for every college student

20. What would be the best title for the text? ____.

A. Part-time Jobs Are Useful

B. Part-time Jobs Can Cost Dear

C. Part-time Jobs Are Important to Many Students

D. Students shouldnt Have Part-time Jobs
