题文

It had been some time since Jack had en the old man. College, career, and life itlf got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belr died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel（纪录片） as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.“Jack, did you hear me?”“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d reminisce (回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,” Mom told him.“I loved that old hou he lived in,” Jack said.“You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belr stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said.“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important… Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,” Jack said.Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belr’s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had pasd away.The night before they had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to e the old hou next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture… Jack stopped suddenly.“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.“The box is gone,” he said.“What box?” Mom asked.“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,” Jack said.It was gone. Everything about the hou was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belr family had taken it.“Now, I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.“Mr. Harold Belr” it read.Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.“Upon my death, plea forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It’s the thing I valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.Inside he found the words carved: “Jack, Thanks for your time! Harold Belr.”“Oh, My God! This is the thing he valued most…”Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. “Why?” his assistant asked.“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.小题1:Why did Jack think Mr. Belr died years ago?A．College and career prevented him from remembering Mr. Bler.B．Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr. Belr.C．Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr. Belr.D．His prent busy life washed away his childhood memories.小题2:Jack’s mother told him on the phone about Mr. Belr EXCEPT that ______.A．Mr. Belr often asked how Jack was doingB．Mr. Belr’s funeral would take place on WednesdayC．Mr. Belr had asked for Jack’s mailing addressD．Mr. Belr had pleasant memories of their time together小题3:Why did Jack say he needed some time to spend with his son?A．He was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest.B．He had promid to spare more time to stay with his son.C．He had misd his son and his family for days.D．He came to realize the importance of the time with his family.小题4:Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?A．The Good Old TimesB．What He Valued MostC．My lost friendD．The Lost Childhood Days 题型：未知难度：其他题型
