During my second year of nursing school, our teacher gave us a test. I was a hardworking student and I did well in all the subjects. I finished the questions successfully until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”
Of course this was a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She is short and about 60 years old. She has dark hair. But how would I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, I’d never even thought about talking to her. I stared at my paper and started to feel rather guilty. Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.
Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grades.
“Absolutely,” the teacher said. “In your life, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is to smile and to say hello.”
I’ve never forgotten that lesson. Everyone deserves my attention and I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me. That was, perhaps, the most important lesson of my life. I also learned the cleaning woman’s name was Dorothy.
小題1:How was the writer at the nursing school?
A．She didn’t study hard.B．She was one of the top students.
C．She loved telling jokes. D．She often asked questions in class.
小題2:What did the cleaning lady look like?
A．She had only a little hair.B．She was not tall.
C．She looked young.D．She always smiled.
小題3:How did the writer feel she first saw the last question?

C．She felt excited.D．She felt comfortable.
小題4:What can we learn from paragraph 3 and 4?
A．The last question was a part of the quiz.
B．The students needn’t answer the last question.
C．Only one student didn’t know the answer.
D．None of the students knew the woman’s name.
小題5:What did the teacher want to tell the students through the last question?
A．You should pay attention to everyone around you.
B．You should work hard to get good grades in school.
C．You should be friends with the cleaning lady.
D．You should try to make as many friends as you can.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確的選項。
Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern airliner(客機), you can travel in one day to places which needed a month or more to get to hundreds of years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but you can see the places you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They even make the longest journey enjoyable(令人愉快的).
Some people prefer to travel by sea. You can visit many other countries or different parts of your country. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop if there is something interesting, for example, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That’s why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they travel on business.

Your computer has been playing music for years, one CD at a time. Now hundreds of songs can be stored in your PC if they' re in the MP3 format (格式).
What is it?
MP3 compressed(壓縮) music into small computer files. You may download MP3 music several ways: Music can be downloaded from websites that have turned wide music libraries into MP3. Once MP3 music is on your PC’s hard drive, you can play it through your computer's speakers, "burn" it onto blank CDs or swap(交換) MP3 files with friends using e -mail.
How much?
Software needed to play and convert MP3 music is often free. Compact portable MP3 players start at around $ 40 and can hold hundreds of songs. A blank CD on which you can record music costs about a dollar.
Advantages
MP3 turns your home PC into a jukebox(自動唱機) . Small MP3 players are the size of a deck of cards(一副牌), making it easy to take hundreds of songs with you. 
Disadvantages
You may find that some websites only allow you to listen but you can't download music. Others let you download music but can't be copied to MP3 players. And a growing number of new CDs make it impossible to copy songs to a computer.
小題1:How can you get MP3 music?
A．By turning your home PC into a jukebox.
B．By taking your own music or songs with you.

One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, “Look! There’s a horseshoe, pick it up and put it in your bag.” Thomas said, “It isn’t worth the trouble.” His father said nothing but he picked it up himself. When they got to a nearby town, they had a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with the few pennies he bought some cherries(櫻桃).
The father and the son continued their way. The sun was well up in the sky, and there wasn’t a house or even a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on.

When Thomas had eaten up all the cherries, his father said to him, “My dear son, if you had bent(彎腰) down early to pick up that horseshoe, it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries.

“An old village woman in her seventies from Zhenjiang Province rented a small house in Shanghai and let visitors to the World Expo live there for free while she slept on a little couch. Her kindness moved(感動) countless people.” Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said so at the Expo 2010 Shanghai China on October 31 when it ended.
It is a true story. The heroine of it is Ying Miaofang, an old woman from a village of Zhuji City in Shaoxing of Zhejiang Province. “I rented a house in Shanghai and received more than 330 Expo visitors during three months’ time.

She published her phone number in the newspaper and opened the house for Expo visitors for free on June 23.
Besides providing a free living place., Ying got up very early every morning to buy food, cook breakfast, clean rooms and wash clothes for those guests.
