One day while driving from my home to work. I noticed a car in front of me had a wobbly(不稳定的) wheel. It was clear that the wheel had been changed recently and had not been fixed correctly. On a slow road this would not show much of a problem but I knew a highway was coming soon. There the traffic would move much faster and the driver would be in danger as the wheel could come off at that speed.

I was driving a large jeep at the time and the car in front was a small one driven by a young lady on her own. So as I tried to flash(闪) my lights and wave her to pullover, I was worried that she wouldn't pull over on the road side when she found in her mirror a single man chasing(追) her down in a jeep and waving for her to pull over.

Thankfully. she trusted more in the good nature of people and pulled over where I could explain the problem. She said the wheel was changed only the night before and that she would pull into the nearest garage(修车间) where the repairman had tools to fix the wheel correctly.

My belief is that the act of kindness was hers and not mine. How so? Well, it was she who chose to believe in the possibility that people are good over the belief that bad things would come from being waved over to the side of the road by strangers.

I am glad I was able to wave her down in time and so a serious accident might have been avoided. But I am even happier that she believed in a stranger.

（1）、The writer worried about the lady because .

A、she was driving a second-hand car B、a traffic accident might happen to her C、a single man was chasing her down D、she drove faster than any other car

（2）、Why did the lady pull over on the side road?

A、Because she found something wrong. B、Because she thought the road not safe. C、Because the writer shouted at her. D、Because the writer gave her some signs.

（3）、What would be the best title for the passage?

A、Trusting in the Kindness of Strangers B、A Wobbly Wheel of a Car C、A Lady Who Was Saved D、Accident That Didn't Happen

Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat. You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it. But for the students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9^th graders.
In the middle of the wall, there is a big “VICTORY”. It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.
A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain.
Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last semester in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!
If you look at the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can't understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.
For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don't know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.

Mom: Daniel, I need to talk to you about your behavior. Dad and I realize there is probably an explanation for why the house is so dirty, but you shouldn't have run out of the room and closed the door so hard like that.
Daniel: Mom, I'm sorry, but I was so angry! You want me to act like an adult but you and dad treat me like a child. Why didn't you just ask me what had happened?
Mom: Well, I know that grown-ups are supposed to make good decisions but sometimes we make mistakes. We were angry too. None of us stopped to think and we should have. Can you explain to me now why the house was a mess and what you did with the money we left?
Daniel: Spot was sick, Mom. Eric and I didn't want to call you and dad on your vacation, so I used the money you left and some of my own to take him to the vet. We stayed there and waited for him all day. That is why we didn't have time to clean the house.

A frog was swimming in a pond after a rainstorm. He saw a brilliant rainbow across the sky. He was so excited that he couldn't help crying.

"I have heard there is a cave filled with gold at the place where the rainbow ends. I will find the cave and be the richest frog in the world," said the frog.

The frog swam to the edge of the pond as fast as he could. There he met another frog by accident.

"Where are you rushing to?" asked the second frog.

"I am rushing to the place where the rainbow ends," said the first frog.

"There is a saying that there is a cave filled with gold and diamonds at that place," said the second frog.

"Then come with me." said the first frog. "We will be the two richest frogs in the world."

The two frogs jumped out of the pond and ran through the grassland. There they met another frog.

"What's the hurry?" asked the third frog.

"We are running to the place where the rainbow ends," said the two frogs.

"I have been told there is a cave filled with gold, diamonds and pearls at that place," said the third frog.

"Then come with us," said the two frogs. "We will be the three richest frogs in the world."

The three frogs ran for miles. Finally they came to the end of the rainbow.

There they saw a dark cave on the side of a hill.

"Gold! Diamonds! Pearls!" cried the frogs. As they jumped into the cave, they found a snake lived inside.

He was hungry and had been thinking about his dinner. He swallowed the three frogs quickly.

A friend's grandfather came to America from Britain. He went into a cafeteria in Lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did. At last, a woman with a plate full of food sat down in front of him and told him how a cafeteria worked. "Start out at one end," she said. "Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end they'll tell you how much you have to pay."

"I soon learned that's how everything works in America," the grandfather told a friend. "Life is like a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want only if you like to pay the money. You can even get success, but you'll never get that if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself."
