He put his hat on the ground and took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground. Then he began playing the violin. The words on that paper said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim it.〞 He was soon surrounded by people wondering what had happened. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry, grabbed his shoulders and said, “Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would certainly come here.〞 The story turned out to be this: George Sang bought a lottery（彩票） ticket a few days ago. The awards opened yesterday and he won a prize of $500,000. So he felt very happy and he took out 50 dollars for the wonderful music played by the young man. However the lottery ticket was also thrown in. Later someone asked the violinist: “At that time you needed to pay the tuition fee and had to play the violin every day to make the money.

He had written something strange on paper in front of him. 2. What can be inferred form the passage A. The violinist was given the lottery ticket as a reward. B. The violinist was given the lottery ticket because George thought it useless. C. The violinist was given the lottery ticket because George didn’t notice that. D. The violinist was given the lottery ticket because George wanted to help him. 3. Which can be the best title of the passage A. A Poor Young Artist B. An Artist And a Gentleman C. Honesty Saves People from Trouble D. Honesty Brings Happiness xm】 B Everyone knows how the story of Cinderella does everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals before she meets the prince. If someone asked Cinderella, “Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate〞 She probably would answer , “Why , none , of course. Housework is my duty!〞 In the real world, however, most people have certain dislikes for some kinds of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing（熨）clothes and washing dishes. Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled（处理）separately, so ironing a basket of them can take hours! If you do not follow directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end. Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because , we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don’t come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes. And it is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I don’t know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do. 4. For Cinderella, doing household work is __________. A. what she hates to do B. what she is responsible for C. what she loves to do D. what she is content with 5. Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because _________. A. it takes a lot of time B. it has to be done by one person C. it must be handled skillfully D. it needs careful planning 6.

A. hand washed dishes are cleaner B. dishwashers are not so easily handled C. some dishes cannot be washed by machine D. washing dishes by hand is cheaper 7. Ironing is different from washing dishes in that _________. A. it requires patience B. it is not a daily housework C. it is not tiring
