Having lived in the house for so long, we found our kitchen looked 21 . We decided it was time to 22 the kitchen, and my husband and I were discussing 23 colors. The children, sitting nearby, suddenly all spoke together：“Not the measuring stick. ”

“No,” I 24 them. “Not the measuring stick.”

The measuring stick isn’t a (an) 25 stick but the kitchen side of the door between our kitchen and dining room. Along the edge we’ve 26 each child’s growth by making a mark showing his or her 27 on every birthday. Over the years, so many colored pens, pencils and 28 have been used that now, this white door is somewhat like an abstract(抽象的) painting.

Names and dates show different 29 , and I can tell by the script(手迹) who measured whom. An eight-year-old 30 to measure her three-year old sister, a grandchild measured her grandmother and my husband did the same to me. At our family 31 , when this door swung back and forth frequently, friends used to stop to 32 the names and dates. When they were asked if they would like to be always remembered, they 33 smiled shyly and went back right up into place, 34 to be measured.

Many of those 35 on the door are still 36 . Some have stopped. Some remain with us only in 37 . When my mother came to see my eldest daughter graduate from university, we measured her, too. It was her last visit to our home.

III．阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2 分，共计30分）

A

I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the American society until I was injured in a car accident. After the accident, I had to see a doctor and go to court. When the accident happened, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He said he had good reason to charge me and that if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me to find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.

But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report only contained ten lines, and it cost me $215.

My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to fire him. And he made me pay him $770.

Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Because of my inexperience, I told the insurance the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time … and I left without getting a cent.

My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America, money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality; secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its advantages and disadvantages.

41. The author’s roommate offered to help him because ________.

A. he felt sorry for the author. B. he thought it was a chance to make some money

C. he knew the doctor was a very good one D. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer

42. A good lawyer is important for the author to _______.

A. be properly treated

B. talk with the person responsible for the accident

C. recover before he leaves America

D. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury

43. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?

A. The author has learned a lot through the experience.

B. Everything about America is advantageous.

C. The author’s roommate helped him but charged for that.

D. The author’s final examination report only contained ten lines but cost $215.

44. What conclusion can you draw from this story?

A. Going to court is something very common in America.

B. One must be very careful while driving a car.

C. There are more disadvantages in America than advantages.

D. Money is more important than other things in the US.

B
