BOnce there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day before bass (巴斯鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “Youll have to put it back, son,” he said. “Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his fathers voice that the decision couldnt be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish again and again every time he has an ethical (伦理的，道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.59.What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?A.

Recently, the American star won Best Actress at this years Academy Awards for her role in the film The Silver Linings Playbook. According to Time magazines Richard Corliss, Lawrence is that rare young actress who lends a mature（成熟的） intelligence to any role. Though Lawrence has found great success through her big screen work, Lawrence wasnt sure what she really liked doing before the age of 14. She thought shed go to college and maybe find a career as a doctor or a travel agent. Lawrences two brothers were star athletes and one of them was a straight-A student. Unlike them, she suffered through school, never quite finding where she belonged. However, during a trip to New York, Lawrence suddenly realized that she wanted to be an actress. When she was enjoying the beautiful city, a model seeker asked if he could take her picture, and the next day he called her in for an audition (试镜). I read the script（剧本） and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this, Lawrence said. Within 20 minutes, in the cab ride from the hotel room, I decided I didnt want to be a model. In fact, I wanted to be an actress. Having appreciated this young ladys performance, the agency was so impressed with her reading that they signed her on the spot. But she insisted on finishing high school so she could give her full attention to her acting career. Lawrence burst onto the Hollywood scene last year with The Hunger Games, which established her as the highest-grossing (票房最高的) female action hero of all time. Rolling Stone called her “the most talented young actress in America. 63. What can we know about Jennifer Lawrence from Paragraph 3? A. Her parents were really strict with her. B.
