On a Saturday evening, as it got dark outside, he put on a pair of dirty boots and walked through his house. He left many dirty footprints. He went back the way he came while wearing socks. He cut the boots into pieces and flushed (冲走) them down the toilet.

At 1l p.m, he took a pistol (手枪) from his bedside table and went down his hallway without shoes. He fired three shots down the hallway. Then he walked to the other end of the hallway and fired two shots in the opposite direction.

26、   Good manners play an important part in maintaining peace in society. A man with good manners doesn’t hurt others’ feelings, and therefore he’s on good terms with everyone. In this way he helps to keep the peace in society.

But a man with bad manners has no respect for others. He uses words carelessly and behaves rudely towards others and causes a lot of unpleasantness. In the end, he himself will suffer the most. Everyone avoids him and he is forced to live alone.

To live well in society, money alone is not enough. Even the richest man cannot afford to have bad manners. He may have enough money to buy all things he wants; but if his manners are bad, he will have no friends, and no one can live happily without friends.

We should have good manners, for it’s human nature to try to get friendship; and friendship has to be earned through our own attitude towards others. If we are kind to others, they will be kind to us, and kindness is the most basic quality of good manners. Bad manners drive away friends as well as our own family members.

On the other hand, a man with good manners has many friends. He commands the respect of all those who come into contact with him. He doesn’t talk ill about others. Even when he’s provoked, he tries his best not to upset others. He also feels sorry about the weak and the disabled.

There are, however, many people who behave so well outside their homes that they are respected by everyone outside. But in their own homes they are worse than the devil（魔鬼）. Such people cannot be said to have good manners. Their behavior will soon be discovered by others.

If one’s manners are good, one behaves well everywhere, even when one is away from the critical（爱挑剔的）eyes of others. Only such a person can live well in society.

【1】People with good manners bring society _____.

A.peace B.enjoyment C.respect D.friendship

【2】What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 4 ?

A.People are born friendly.

B.Bad manners make people lose friends.

C.Money is not the most important.

D.Kind people will be treated kindly.

【3】The underlined word“provoked”in the passage may mean _____.

A.tired B.sad C.made angry D.left alone

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.Kindness is important.

B.Friendship is important.

C.Good manners are important.

D.People with bad manners can’t live well.

27、Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：

I'm very thankful to the cat and it always makes me think of the time I was with him.

Five years ago, when my father was dying, I travelled a thousand miles from home to be with him in his last days. I felt very sad and it was one of the most difficult and painful times in my life. After he passed away, I stayed alone in his flat. There were so many things to deal with. I was lonely and I hated the silence of the flat.

But one evening the silence was broken: I heard crying outside. I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps. He was thin and poor. He looked the way I felt. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish. He ate it and then almost immediately fell asleep.

The next morning I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been left by his owner. His owner had moved out, so the little cat was there all alone, just like I was. As I walked back to the flat, I tried to work out what to do with him. Having something else to take care of seemed like the very last thing I needed. But as soon as I opened the flat door, he ran to me and jumped into my arms. It was clear from that moment that he didn't want to go anywhere. I started calling him Willis in order to remember my father's best friend.

From then on, things grew easier. With Willis in my lap, time seemed to pass much faster.

When the time finally came for me to return home, I had to decide what to do about Willis. There was absolutely no way I would leave without him.

It's been five years since my father died. Over the years, several people have said how nice it was of me to rescue the cat. But I know that we rescued each other. I may have given him a home but he gave me something greater.

28、John Allen, an American scientist once said, “the Internet is the world’s largest library, but all the books in it are on the floor!” What he meant is that the Internet is 【1】 of information. But it can be difficult to find what you 【2】 need.

       The Internet has another disadvantage. Anyone can build a website, so you can 【3】 websites about whatever you can imagine. Unfortunately, 【4】 lot of what is written on them is not always true.

       At the same time, the Internet provides many other things. On some websites, you can download music and films. They are usually very 【5】 and some are even free. On some other websites, you can connect 【6】 people from all over the world. And there are some great online shops, too. For 【7】, on eBay people sell used clothes, CDs, and even cars at very low prices.

It is true that the Internet has made 【8】 lives more convenient. But we should not depend on it too much. Some people are also afraid that surfing the Internet has taken the place of other healthier activities, especially for young people. Whether you love it 【9】 hate it, though, you’d better get used to 【10】 because it is right here to stay.
