  possessions behind.But he had been a kind loving father，and he left behind one of the finest，most giving men I have ever known.

• 5．Jerry wanted to continue his studies through college after his graduation from high school；so every morning he never failed to read the classified ads in the newspaper.He scanned even the smallest ad，hoping to find one company needing the services of a high school graduate.
     His patience paid off for early one morning he read an ad which said："An executive wants boy to assist him in his office.He should at least be a high school graduate."
     Jerry cut the ad and quickly took a bath.He put on a clean suit，brushed his short hair neatly，and after asking permission from mother，he proceeded to the office which advertised the ad.When he reached the place，he saw that it was filled with young people.His heart beat faster for he felt he had a very slim chance to be selected.
     Very soon the office became empty and Jerry found himself being briefed by the executive.He was asked to report at eight o'clock the following morning.After Jerry left the office，the manager asked the executive，"What made you select that boy who did not have a single recommendation？" "That is where you are mistaken，" explained the executive. "Before entering this office，he wiped his feet and closed the door quietly.It shows he is careful.I noticed that he stood instantly and offered his seat to an old man who entered the office.His act shows that he is kind and considerate boy.He took off his cap when he entered the room and answered my questions promptly indicating that he is polite and gentlemanly."
     "Do you know that I purposely laid a book on the floor to find out what these applicants will do？" the executive continued. "This boy picked it up and placed it on the table while the rest stepped on it.Does this not show that this boy is orderly？While the others pushed and jostled each other in their desire to be interviewed first，this boy waited quietly instead of pushing and crowding as the rest did.I noticed，when I talked to him，that his clothes were clean.Of course，he had no letter of recommendation，but the things that he did counted more than a dozen letters of recommendation.Furthermore，I really do not believe in written recommendations.I judge a person's character by the way he behaves spontaneously，because I believe that the training of a person will always show in whatever he does and in whatever place he is."
     "Now，I hope you are convinced why I selected that boy among the other applicants even if he does not have a single written recommendation."
  
  （1）What did Jerry feel when he arrived at the office？

  
  A．He was completely disappointed.
  B．He was quite astonished by what he saw.
  C．He was afraid he wouldn't be admitted.
  D．He felt empty because he didn't have a recommendation.
  （2）How can the character of a person be shown according to the executive？

  
  A．By one's recommendation.
  B．By his actions.
  C．By others' comments on him
  D．By his determination.
  （3）What words can best describe Jerry？

  
  A．Responsible and well-mannered
  B．Polite and strong-willed
  C．Ambitious and gentlemanly
  D．Thoughtful and spontaneous
  （4）What is the best title of the passage？

• 7．Freedom and Responsibility Freedom's challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic.We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.
     Some 2，500 years ago Greece discovered freedom.Before that there was no freedom.There were great civilizations，splendid empires，but no freedom anywhere.Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies，one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.
     In Greece，in Athens，a little city in a little country，there were no helpless masses.And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed，and the unwritten，which must be obeyed if free men live together.They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted.A man was free if he was self-controlled.To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom.They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair.Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens，not because it was forced on him from the outside，but because the city was his pride and his safety.The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.
     But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers.It cannot be discovered once for all.If people do not prize it，and work for it，it will go.Constant watch is its price.Athens changed.It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance，a spiritual change which affected the whole state.It had been the Athenian's pride and joy to give to their city.That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds.There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work.Now instead of men giving to the state，the state was to give to them.What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them；and with this as the primary object，ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing.Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share.
     Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility. There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good，they would cease to be free.Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom.It is to be had on no other terms.Athens，the Athens of Ancient Greece，refused responsibility；she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.
     But，"the excellent becomes the permanent，" Aristotle said.Athens lost freedom forever，but freedom was not lost forever for the world.A great American，James Madison，referred to："The capacity（能力） of mankind for self-government." No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek.Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind，but once man has a great and good idea，it is never completely lost.The Digital Age cannot destroy it.Somehow in this or that man's thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action.One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime.
  
  （1）People believing in freedom are those who

  .
  A．regard their life as their own business
  B．seek gains as their primary object
  C．behave within the laws and value systems
  D．treat others with kindness and pity
  （2）What change in attitude took place in Athens？

  
  A．The Athenians refused to take their responsibility.
  B．The Athenians no longer took pride in the city.
  C．The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government.
  D．The Athenians looked on the government as a business.
  （3）What does the sentence "There could be only one result." in Paragraph 5 mean？

  
  A．Athens would continue to be free.
  B．Athens would cease to have freedom.
  C．Freedom would come from responsibility.
  D．Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence.
  （4）What is the author's understanding of freedom？

  
  A．Freedom can be more popular in the digital age.
  B．Freedom may come to an end in the digital age.
  C．Freedom should have priority over responsibility.
  D．Freedom needs to be guaranteed by responsibility.
