Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp（流浪汉）has passed. This special sign-language is frequently 50 by tramps to inform their 51 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 52 them the trouble of unnecessary calls. Quite 53 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces. But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 54 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 55 a funny turn, laid a small parcel 56 the front gate, and began 57 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 58 , for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction. He entered the front gate 59 and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat 60 couldn’t hear his words. The 61 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt 62 for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 63 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried , whistling as he went along. 小题1: A．employed B．made C．taken D．put up 小题2: A．coaches B．classmates C．fellows D．friends 小题3: A．share B．save C．give D．urge 小题4: A．in a way B．by mistake C．by the way D．by chance 小题5: A．success B．care C．failure D．responsibility 小题6: A．gave B．launched C．set D．made 小题7: A．by B．to C．in D．behind 小题8: A．drawing B．kissing C．correcting D．studying 小题9: A．sad B．strange C．funny D．exciting 小题10: A．confidently B．innocently C．consequently D．consciously 小题11: A．and B．but C．however D．therefore 小题12: A．conversation B．introduction C．argument D．greeting 小题13: A．happy B．frightened C．capable D．sorry 小题14: A．Digging B．Stealing C．Putting D．Looking 小题15: A．step B．position C．pace D．situation
