21、        A gentleman put an advertisement in a newspaper to look for a boy to work in his office. From nearly fifty persons, he chose one and refused the others.

“I should like to know,” said a friend, “Why you liked that boy better. He did not have a letter or a recommendation (推荐).”

“You are wrong,” said the gentleman. “He had a great many. He cleaned his feet at the door and closed the door behind him. That showed that he was careful. He gave his seat at once to that old man. That showed that he was kind and thoughtful. He took off his cap when he came in and answered my question at once. That showed that he was polite and gentlemanly.”

“I threw some books on the floor and some persons went over them, but that boy picked them up and put them on the table. He waited quietly for his turn instead of pushing. When I talked to him, I found his clothes were tidy, his hair was brushed clearly and his finger nails (指甲) were clean. I think these are more important than a letter and a recommendation.”

【1】That boy was chosen because ______.

A．he had many letters

B．he didn’t have a recommendation

C．he spoke quietly

D．he did everything carefully

【2】The underlined word “thoughtful” means ______.

A．成熟的

B．自信的

C．深思的

D．体贴的

【3】Which is the best title for this passage?

A．How to Do Everything Well.

B．What Is Most Important for Asking for a Job.

C．To Have Good Manners Before a Boss.

D．Try to Find a Good Job.

22、We can make mistakes at any age. And most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke my leg?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy(嫉妒) my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.

① Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. ② Suppose（假设） someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly. ③ But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck. ④

“Just think of all the things you should be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving（挨饿的）people in the world when you haven’t got the new bike you want.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

【1】Where can we put the sentence “And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words.”?

A．①

B．②

C．③

D．④

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Being friendly.

B．A bit of envy.

C．Lucky dog.

D．Your luck.

【3】Why does the writer think we go wrong about the speakers?

A．We don’t listen carefully when they talk.

B．They aren’t able to express their meaning clearly.

C．They usually state one thing but mean another.

D．We often doubt whether they mean what they say.

【4】How does the writer express his idea in the passage?

A．By giving examples.

B．By listing numbers.

C．By telling a story.

D．By showing pictures.

【5】Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage?

A．Can you tell their real meanings?

B．I’m a real lucky dog.

C．Maybe he’s not a true friend.

D．Speaking clearly saves you more mistakes.
