“Who did this？” asked Miss Green.

There were 30 children in the classroom and all were trying to think about not only what they did, but also what our teacher already knew.

“Who broke this window?”

“Uh, Oh.” I thought. I was the one who broke the window with a football. I did not mean to do it. I would be in a lot of trouble. How could I pay for a big window like that? I didn't want to put up my hand. But I had to tell the truth. So, I put up my hand and told the teacher I broke the window.

Miss Green went to the bookshelf and took down a book.

“I know how you like birds, Peter.” She said. “Here is a book about birds and the book is yours now. I will not punish you this time. But Peter, you should remember that I am rewarding （獎(jiǎng)賞）you for your honesty（誠(chéng)實(shí)）, not for breaking the window.”

I couldn't believe it! The teacher didn't punish me and I was getting my very favorite book. Now, I still use that book, and it always reminds me of (使我想起)the lesson my teacher taught me.

Honesty is always best.

I was waiting for a phone call from my agent last night. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn't care about my work, and he didn't care about me. That thought beat me. I started to shout at the phone, "Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?"

At that time I didn't realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, took away the phone and pulled the lines out of the phone, and shouted at the phone, "Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!" And she swept it into the wastebasket.

I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth...?

She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, "Now hear this! All objects in this room - if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!"

Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said quietly, "Dear, you just have to learn how to take control." With that, she left the room.

After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my feelings had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone?

Her unusual actions helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him quietly.

1. Why did the writer shout at the telephone?

A. He was mad at the telephone.

B. He was worried about his wife.

C. He was angry with his agent.

D. He was impatient with the secretary.

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2016屆江蘇蘇州工業(yè)園區(qū)初三4月調(diào)研考試（一模）英語(yǔ)卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.

Successful and happy people imagine how their life should be and they set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It's like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind(her goal) which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver. But she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?

Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set, and they aren't difficult to reach. It's up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and at what direction to aim your life.

Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly(有規(guī)律地), and have more power. Like a contract(合同)with yourself, they are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in a specific way you are able to make yourself always aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.

1.The writer gave the example of two drivers to show .

A. the importance of setting goals

B. the foolishness of the second driver

C. the importance of having a map

D. the foolishness of the first driver

2. According to the article, the most important thing in realizing one's dream is to .

A. try to make others know his or her ability very well

B. have a clear understanding of what he or she wants in life

C. let others help him or her to make his or her dream come true

D. let others understand him or her first, then work with him or her

3.According to the article, successful people are different from unsuccessful ones because ·

A. the unsuccessful people always set unrealistic plans for themselves

B. the unsuccessful people make plans for everything but can not work hard

C. the successful people set goals for everything and can get help from others

D. the successful people set goals in their lives and make plans to carry it out

4.According to the article, if you want to succeed, you must .

A. study hard B. have a goal and achieve it

C. live happily D. experience everything
