For a moment, I thought he might be 38,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was 39. I felt like saying that it was ridiculous to40that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But,41, I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very 42city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he 43 to tell me all about his friend.His friends main44in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he45had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming46, yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them.

When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence51his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a 52who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had 53the house next to my brothers house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.“Would your friends name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He 54and said, “Yes. Would your brothers name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my55 to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.1、Abrother Bteacher Cneighbour Dfriend 2、Amanaged Bhappened Ctried Dwanted 3、Aexpecting Blying Cjoking Dtalking 4、Afunny Bserious Ccareful Ddisappointed 5、Athink Bfind Crealize Dsee 6、Aindeed Bactually Cinstead Dexactly 7、Afamous Binteresting Cnoisy Dbig8、Abegan Bstopped Crefused Dfailed 9、Aproblem Binterest Cchoice Dwork 10、Ajust Bever Ceven Dsurely 11、Asuit Bhabit Cpools Driver 12、Apeople Bplayers Cstrangers Dfriends 13、Aadvised Bargued Cadmitted Dannounced 14、Arecognized Brealized Cvisited Dfound 15、Ahow Bwhether Cwhen Dwhere 16、Abecause Bif Cthen Dthough 17、Adoctor Bfriend Cneighbour Dplayer 18、Ahired Bvisited Cdesigned Dsold 19、Asmiled Blaughed Ccried Dnodded20、Achance Bpleasure Ctime DturnSection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career.
