He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was 18 to go out with them when you were the only one without wheels .He thought about what he could do. There was no 19 asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to 20 .

There was only one way to get money, and that was to 21 it . He would have to find a job . 22 who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice , who usually had 23 on most things.

三．阅读理解（共18小题，每小题2分, 满分36分）

A

In many cultures white is often connected with something

positive. A white-collar job, for instance, is the kind of job many

people look for, working with your brain and not your hands.

White has a clean and pure image(形象). That is why

doctors, dentists, and nurses usually wear white uniforms.

Babies are dressed in white at baptisms（洗礼）and brides wear

white wedding dresses at weddings. White in these cases is the symbol of innocence or purity.

Sometimes white is used in expressions that are not good. “Whitewash” is one such expression. At first, “whitewash” meant to paint over something with white paint to make it look better. However, it means something different today: to hide or to cover up mistakes or failures.

A “white elephant” is another example of white used in a negative way. In ancient Thailand, a white elephant was regarded as a holy animal, but it was very expensive to keep. The kings of those days gave a white elephant to the people they wanted to defeat. Once they received this holy, royal animal as a gift, they were not allowed to sell or kill it. Today, a “white elephant” means something that is big, useless, and unwanted. In America, when people want to get rid of their furniture or clothes, they often have a “white elephant sale”.

31. Which expression has a historical background ?

A. Whitewash.

B. White-collar.

C. White elephant.

D. White elephant sale.

32. In which sentence does “white” have a negative meaning?

A. A boy is dressed in white at baptisms.

B. A bride wears a white wedding dress.

C. A man whitewashes his bad behavior.

D. A girl finds a white collar job.

33. What does “royal” i n the last paragraph mean in Chinese?

A. 昂贵的

B. 无用的

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the runner brought the pharaoh unhappy news, he was killed.

Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for a picnic. As we walked happily out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, ”Oh boys, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to hit him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.

Several months ago I was running to catch a bus. As I arrived at the station
