      A gentleman once advertised(登广告)for a boy to help him in his office, and nearly fifty persons asked for the place. Out of the whole number he in a short time chose one, and sent all the other boys away.

    “I should like to know," said a friend, "on what ground you chose that boy. He didn't even have a recommendation(推荐信)with him.”

    “You are mistaken,”said the gentleman, "he had a great many: —

    “He made his shoes clean when he came in, and closed the door after him; showing that he was orderly(井然有序的).

      "He gave his seat to the disabled old man; showing that he was        

      "He took off his cap when he came in, and answered my questions quickly and respectfully c恭敬地); showing that he was polite.

       "He lifted up the book which I had purposely (故意地) laid on the floor, and put it on the table, while all the others stepped over it or pushed it aside; showing that he was careful.

     "Don't you call these things letters of recommendation? I do; and the things that I can discover a boy by using my eyes for ten minutes, is worth more than all the fine letters that he can bring.”

 In the open field, a crowd was in front of the board, from which a piece of bad news comes-- France lost the battle to Germany.

 That morning, I started for school very late with fear of being punished(惩罚). I hurried as fast as I could to school.

 When school began, there was usually a- great noise. But now it was all so silent! I went in and sat down. I found our teacher had put on his beautiful coat that he never wore except on prize days. On the back benches that were always empty, the village people were sitting quietly like us.

 While I was wondering, M. Hamel said," My students, the order has come from Germany to teach only German in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine. So this is your last French lesson."

 How sorry I was for hardly knowing how to write French! Now I understood why the old men of the village were sitting here. They were sorry, too, that they had not gone to school more. It was their way of thanking our teacher for his 40 years of service and of showing their love for the country that was theirs no more.

 Then, M. Hamel talked of the French language, saying it was the most beautiful language in the world. He opened the book and read us our lesson. I was amazed to. see how well I understood it. All he said seemed so easy! After it, we were asked to write. Whenever I looked up from my writing, I saw M. Hamel staring first at one thing, then at another, as if he wanted to fi x everything in his mind. On the roof the pigeons(鸽子) cooed very low, and I thought to myself," Will German soldiers even make pigeons sing in German?"

 All at once the church- clock struck twelve. It was the time to dismiss(解散) the class.

M. Hamel stood up, very pale. I never saw him look so tall.

" My friends" said he,"I …I…" But something choked(哽咽) him.

 Then he returned to the blackboard, took a piece of chalk, with all his strength, he wrote as large as he could:

" Vive La France!(法国万岁)"

—— Adapted from The Last Lesson

 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

 One day, a successful businessman was getting ready to go to his office in the morning. When he opened the door of his car, a stray dog(流浪狗) sleeping under his car1 came out and bit his leg! He was angry and 2 a rock at the dog, but he was not able to hit it.

When he 3 his office, the businessman called a meeting of his managers. During the meeting, he took out his 4 on his managers. His managers were upset about this, and took out their own anger on the employees(员工) working under them.5 , the businessman's anger spread through the whole company.

 The businessman was still angry after returning home. His wife opened the door. She asked him, "6 are you so late today?" The man7 his wife, "I didn' t go to the office to play soccer,I went to work. So don't ask me such stupid questions!" His wife was upset about being shouted at for no 8 . She turned her anger on their son, who was watching TV. "This is all you do. You have no 9 in studying! Turn off the TV now!" She yelled.(大喊).

 The son became upset as well. He walked out of his house and saw a dog passing by. He picked up a rock and threw it at the dog angrily. The dog ran away, barking in 10 .

 Sometimes, when we are angry about something, we might take out our anger on others who are not to blame(责备) for our mood. This is not fair to others. We should learn to control our anger.
