I. successfully
Mrs Jones was over eighty,
but she still drove her old car like a woman
half her age. She loved driving very
fast, and
16
the fact that
she had
never been caught for a driving
offence (
违章
) in her thirty-
years of driving.
Then one day she
17 lost her record. A
police car followed her, and
the
policemen in it saw her pass a red light without
stopping.
When
Mrs
Jones
came
before
the
judge,
he
18
her
and
said
that
1
/
6
she was too old to drive a car. He also
said that her eyes had probably become
19
because of
old age, so that
she had simply not seen the red light and stopped
the car.
When the judge had
finished
what he was saying,
Mrs Jones opened the big
20
she was
carrying.
Without
saying
a
word,
she
took
out
a
needle
(
针
)
21
a
very
small
eye,
and
threaded
(
穿针
) it at her first try.
When she had
22
done this, she took the thread
(
线
) out of the needle
again and handed both the needle and
the thread to the judge, saying,
your
turn. I suppose you can drive a car, and that you
must have good eyesight.
The judge took
the needle and tried to thread it. After trying
six
23
, he had
still
not
succeeded.
The
case
against
Mrs Jones
was
cancelled,
and
her
record
remained unbroken.

There! I have drawn the chairs into the
right corners, and
dusted the room
nicely. How cold mum and daddy will be when
they return from their long ride! It is
not time to toast the bread
yet, and I
am tired of reading.
What
shall I do? Somehow, I can’t help
thinking about the
pale face of that
little beggar girl all the time. I can see the
glad
2
/

light filling
her eyes, just as obvious as I did when I laid the
dime
(
一角硬币
)
in her little dirty
hand.
How much I had thought of that dime,
too! Grandfather gave it to me a whole month ago,
and
I had kept it ever since in my red
box upstairs; but those sugar apples looked so
beautiful, and
were so cheap―only a
dime a piece
―
that I made up
my mind to have
one
.
I can
see
her―the beggar girl,
I
mean―as she stood there in front of the
store, in her old
hood
(
风帽
)
and faded dress,
looking at the candies laid all in a row. I wonder
what made me say,
“Little girl, what do
you want?”
How
she
stared
at
me,
just
as
if
nobody
had
spoken
kindly
to
her
before.
I
guessed
she
thought
I
was
sorry
for
her,
for
she
said,
so
sadly,
“I
was
thinking
how
good
one
of
those
gingerb
read
rolls would taste. I haven’t had anything to eat
today.”
Then, I thought
to myself, “Mary Williams, you have had
a good
lunch and a good dinner
today, and this poor girl has not had a
mouthful. You can give her your dime; she needs it
a great
deal mor
e than you
do.”
I
couldn
’
t
resist
that little girl’s hungry look, so I dropped the
dime right into her hand
.
And without waiting for her to speak, I
walked straight away. I’m so
glad I gave her the dime, if I
did have to go without the apple lying
there in the window, I
didn
’
t mind.
35.
Mary got the dime from her ________.
A) parents
B) grandfather
C) good friend
D) neighbour
36.

“
one
”
in paragraph three refers to

five we know that ________.
A) Mary didn
’
t
like the beggar girl
B) the beggar girl wanted
sugar apples
C)

’
s family used to be
poor
D) the beggar girl was really poor
38. We can learn from the underlined

______ girl.
A) kind

C)
funny
D) lonely
39. Which of the following is
TRUE
according to the
passage?

girl

t eaten anything before
she met Mary that day.
C) Mary toasted some bread while
waiting for her parents coming back.
