The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didnt do well without giving them a second chance. “Watson,” said Mr. Smith, “this past year your department(部门) hasnt earned money. Were going to drop that department. Its finished. Im sorry, but youll have to go.” “But, sir, if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.” “Whats that!” said the boss. “Riverside! I didnt know you had a boy there. Thats an expensive school for a man with your salary.” “I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! Hes a star sportsman and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ（冠军）there.” The boss sat perfectly still for a long time a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “Weve got to close your department, Watson. But youll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours - maybe more pay. Now get out. Youre here for life.” Watson got out, with surprise on his face. Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbies last letter from Riverside School - written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read: I cant say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess its the same everywhere when youre a cripple (跛脚的人). But dont worry about me, Dad. Theyve got a good chemistry department here. And theres one boy here who is really great. Hes a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, 1 want to do something for Champ. Something big that he wont even know about. Your son, Herbie 21. Mr. Smith wanted to fire Watson because _. A. Watson would take over a new job in another department B.

Mr. Smith was told not to fire Watson by Herbie B. Mr. Smith didnt know that Champ was Watsons son at first C. Mr. Smith decided to give Watson another chance right away D. Mr. Smith wanted to realize Champs dream 23. According to the text, which words can best describe Mr. Smith? A. Selfish and greedy.B. Sympathetic(有同情心的) and grateful. C. Hardworking and strict.D. Easy-going and optimistic. 24. The author wrote the text in order to _. A. share a moving story with usB. make our children enjoy life C. provide us with tips on workD. help us to deal with our boss B James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name. “J. C.,” he replied. She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name. Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later. A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down the stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book. The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic(运动的) but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners. “It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didnt go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.” Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored(给予荣誉) by the United States until 1976, four years before his death. Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs. “Sure, it bothered me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.” In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.” 25.
