The king was about to do so when an old servant of the king said，“Wait，sir. I know an old man who lives in the forest. He is a much greater archer. Let this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three years.”The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him，but he went and found the old man and he was! For three years he learned from him. Then one day，when he thought he had learned everything，the thought arose in him：“If I kill this old man，then I will be the greatest archer.”The old man had gone to cut wood and he was coming back carrying wood on his shoulder. The young man hid behind a tree，waiting to kill him. He shot an arrow. The old man took a small piece of wood and threw it. It struck the arrow and the arrow turned back and wounded the young man very deeply. The old man came，took out the arrow and said,“I knew that some day or other you were going to do this. That’s why I have not taught you this secret. There is no need to kill me. My Master is still alive，and I’m nothing before him. You must be with him for at least thirty years.

With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜厨) outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it, ” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.”What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?”In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.“Right, sir, ” he said. “Do you need any more help?”I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer, ” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well, ” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there!

When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you cannot possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few stepswhen I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.12 . What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.C. He will give the very person long list of direction.D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.13 . Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?A. Because of his poor sense of direction.B. Because he always forgot the way home.C. Because he did not have any friend.D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.14 . How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?A. He felt strange.B. He felt embarrassed.C. He felt very sad.D. He felt astonished.15 . Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?A. Someone we don’t know.B. The writer did it for himself.C. The secretary did so.D. A warm-hearted old lady did such a thing.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
