【推荐1】I still remember my first night as a young policeman.

It was a cold and wet night. Over the radio came the message to deal with an accident in one of the side streets of the city. The scene (现场) of the accident wasn’t far away and we arrived after 10 minutes. Two cars had crashed (碰撞). Two women were lying on the street and one driver was still in the car. The driver was quite drunk and kept shouting to us. He didn’t get badly hurt. A young woman died at once when the two cars crashed. I was holding the other woman and tried to give her first aid, but at last I had to watch her die in my arms.

Three months later, I saw the driver in court (法院) and found him to be a normal (正常的) person. He was sorry for his actions. In the end, he was put in prison (监狱) for many years. A man isn’t a man if he drinks 10 beers in an hour. A man is a man when he knows his limit (限制) and takes responsibility (责任). When he can stay away from wine (酒), he can drive more safely.

【推荐1】I walked into a restaurant and ordered some food. After about 20 minutes, a large group of people came in and took their own orders.

I felt disappointed (失望的) because the group got served before me. I watched as they began to eat and laughed loudly. I heard one of them bragging (吹嘘) about how he knew someone who worked at the restaurant. Unable to stand it any more, I decided to leave. I asked the waiter to cancel my order angrily.

He told me nicely, “Yours is a special order. The head chef is preparing it himself. It’ll take a little more time. Please have a drink when you wait. “I calmed down (冷静) and waited patiently. A few minutes later, my meal was served by six waiters.

To my surprise, the owner of the restaurant was a long-lost friend of mine. He saw me walking in and decided to surprise me. He turned my simple meal into a five-star meal for free. The people at the other tables were shocked and couldn’t stop looking at me. They asked angrily why they didn’t get that kind of service.

Such is life! Some people go ahead of you, laughing at you and talking about how they are smarter, better and luckier than you, while you are working hard day and night, wondering why it’s taking so long for you to get reward (奖励) like them.

【推荐2】Normally, we talk about the spirit of giving, and it is important to do this. But we hardly hear any talk about the spirit of receiving. Very few people know how to receive a gift kindly. Therefore, while we are receiving a gift, we are actually rejecting it. And we turn off the flow（流动）of love by refusing to allow the other person to experience the joy of giving.

A man knew that his wife dreamed of having a fur coat, but he couldn’t afford to buy her such a coat. He loved his wife very much and he wanted to make her happy. Finally, he decided to start a fur-coat-buying project. He saved money in every way that he could. Two years later, he bought her a fur coat, not one of the most expensive ones, but a nice fur coat. He gave it to his wife on her birthday. When she saw the coat, she said, “Oh, Bill, how could you? You know how much we need a new sofa.” Then after a while, she said, “But it is nice, thank you.” But the husband’s feelings were hurt. Two years of love was hurt by her words—she didn’t accept a gift kindly.

Do we often act this way when we receive a gift? Are we sometimes too proud, or too cold? Or are we not strong enough to let the other person do the giving?

Are you unwilling（不情愿的）to allow the other person to experience the joy of giving? After reading this passage, you may know what to do when you receive a gift next time.

【推荐2】We can easily and cheaply get all the wisdom of the ages， all the stories that have delighted（使快乐） mankind for centuries， but we must know how to use this treasure and how to get the most from it． The most unfortunate people all over the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books．

I am very interested in people， in meeting them and finding about them． I've found in books new friends， new societies， and new words． Reading is a pleasure of mind． It is a little like a sport： Your eagerness for knowledge and quickness make you a good reader． Your experience， compared with his， brings you to the same or different conclusions， and your ideas develop as you understand his．

Every book stands by itself， like a one﹣family house， but books in a library are like houses in a city． Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas， and finally you not only find out about the world and the people in it， you find out about yourself， too．

Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be． If you concentrate on books somebody tells you "you ought" to read， you probably won't have fun． But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means something to you， and then relax with it， you will almost certainly have a good time， and if you become， as a result of reading， better， wiser， kinder， or more gentle， you won't have suffered during the process．

1. Which is WRONG according to the passage？

A．Reading can find new friends．	B．Reading is fun．
C．Reading is a little like a sport．	D．While reading you'll have no imagination．

2. What's the result of reading？
