Part II. Reading Comprehension (15%)

Passage 1

Once I found out that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final exam. During the exam, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was

trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

Later, after the exam papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she mentioned how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the exam. When she saw me lean over to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s exam paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed awfully strange to her that I hadn’t mentioned anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the exam. Even though I tried to explain that I wad just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the exam.

A. in the teacher’s office

B. during an exam

C. while class is in progress

4. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy .

D. to stay in the room after the exam

5. What the teacher stressed in her talk was .

Passage 2

Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office, speaking to a young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost £12.”

Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”

The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered there was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburned,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice time in Jersey?”

“Yes,” she answered shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim, too!”

“That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three.”

“I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.”

Harry returned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”

“Er, well --” the woman looked at the child. “I mean … she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”

“A child like that must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs … let me see … £13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you’ll owe £ 1.50. The law is the law, but since the

fault was mine …”

The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.

6. The woman was angry because .

A. she couldn’t use the ticket for her round trip

B. she had to return home a day earlier than she had planned

C. she spent more money than she had expected

B. because he had a little girl about the same age as this girl

C. when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl

D. because the little girl reminded him of his own daughter

8. When Harry said, “The law is the law, but the fault was mine …,” he meant that .

A. they must follow it without other choice even though the fault was his

B. he had to be strict with the woman because of the law, though he didn’t want to

C. the woman had to pay him £ 1.50, but the railway would pay the hotel
