A loyal cat has been bringing his owner small gifts every day in a show of affection. However,
the cat’s owner has been dead for over a year.
Benny is a cute, 3-year-old black and white cat. He has been visiting his owner—David, who
died on September 22, 2012, aged 71—every day for the past year and leaving small presents
at the cemetery . The gifts usually consist of leaves, sticks, plastic cups or paper towels.
“Even today I went to the cemetery with Benny. On the way back, someone I know told me
the cat has already been there early this morning, ” David’s wife Katherine said. Neighbors
have also seen Benny wandering around the cemetery through the day. It all started the day of
the funeral, when the cat followed the coffin (棺材)from the house to the cemetery.
The next morning, Katherine went to the cemetery again. “We arrived with my daughter and
found a flower on the grave(坟墓). I immediately thought it was the cat, but my daughter
said that I was just in a very emotional state at that moment,” she said. That night, however,
David’s son returned to the cemetery and found Benny standing guard at the grave.
Katherine said that her husband shared a particularly strong bond with Benny—he’d adopted
it from a cat colony(收留所)when he was just 3 months old. Unfortunately, everyone does
not believe in the sanctity(圣洁)of the relationship between Benny and his owner. Some
people often try to shoot the cat away. “The insensitive(冷漠的)people sent him away
with stones or other things. They think that the presence of an animal in the cemetery is
almost a desecration(亵渎),” Katherine said.
Still, Benny continues to visit the grave every day. “My husband loved him very much. It’s
almost as if Denny would be grateful. He is a special cat. One can not help liking him,”
Katherine said.
41. The cat goes to the cemetery every day to _______.
A. show what he catches to his owner
B. call for his owner to return to his house
C. get extra attention from the owner’s family
D. express his love and gratitude to his owner
42. How did the cat know the way to the cemetery?
A. He went there by smelling.
B. He followed the funeral procession.
C. He went after one of the owner’s neigbours.
D. He was led there by the owner’s wife and daughter.
43. The daughter didn’t believe what her mother said because she thought her mother_____.
A. was too sad to think clearly B. was in a poor state of health
C. had lost control of her words D. was hurt by the cat’s behavior
44. Which of the following would Katherine most probably agree with?
A. The strong bond between her husband and Benny ended in sorrow.
B. Benny shouldn’t hurt some people’s feelings by appearing at the cemetery.
C. Those who tried to send Benny away in one way or another should feel ashamed.
D. Nobody but her family believed there was true love between her husband and Benny.
45. We can know from the story that ______.
A. Benny’s mind is occupied by no one but his owner
B. Benny will change people’s attitude towards animals
C. Benny does what he can to reward his owner’s kindness.
D. Benny’s behavior won’t last long because of people’s objection

I had my first job at a local diner called the Buttercup Bakery when I was 22. I worked there
for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow waitress Helen, who
had incredible self-respect and did what she loved—serving people. She made everyone smile
and feel good, customers and co-workers alike.
Being a waitress changed my life. Thanks to the new-found confidence I picked up from
Helen, I dreamed of having my own restaurant. But when I called my parents to ask for a loan
(借款), they said, “We just don’t have the money.” One of my regular customers was Fred
Hasbrook. I shared my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody
would just have faith in me. ”
He walked over to some of the other diner regulars and the next day handed me checks
totaling $50,000, along with a note. It read, “The only collateral(担保)on this loan is my
trust in your honesty. Good people with a dream should have the opportunity to make that
dream come true.”
I took the checks to Merrill Lynch and the money was invested for me there. I continued
working at the Buttercup, making plans for the restaurant I would open. My investments
failed, though, and I lost the money.
After careful thought I decided to apply for a job at Merrill Lynch. Even though I had no
experience, I was hired and became a pretty good broker(经纪人). Eventually I paid back
Fred and my customers the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest. Five years later, I was
able to open my own firm.
I got a thank-you note from Fred, which will be imprinted on my head forever. He had been
sick and wrote that my check had helped cover his medical bills. His letter read, “That loan is
one of the best investments that I have ever made.”
46. We can know from the passage that Helen _______.
A. worked much longer than the author
B. liked to teach the author many lessons
C. brought happiness to all the people around her
D. served the customers well with much difficulty
47. ______ didn’t help the author change her life.
A. Her experience as a waitress B. Her new-found confidence
C. Fred Hasbrook D. Her parents
48. What did the author do with the $50,000?
A. She lent it to the Buttercup Bakery.
B. She put it in a place to make more money.
C. She used it to get trained as a broker.
D. She opened her own firm with it.
49. Which of the following statements is NOT true of Fred Hasbrook?
A. He himself did not have much money.
B. He was one of the author’s regular customers.
C. His self-respect had a great effect on the author.
D. He helped the author together with other customers.
50. Which of the following proverbs best describes the story?
A. A friend is easier lost than found.
B. A candle lights others and consumes itself.
