Statuses are wonderful human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we "fit" in society. In our everyday lives whenever we meet people, we always try to judge them in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman and so on.
Our statuses often vary with the people we meet, and change through life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume(表現(xiàn)出) the different statuses that various situations require. Much of social communication consists of recognizing and selecting among proper statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people, based on a constant mental process of assessment and understanding. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather easily.
A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits the buyer can choose style and material. But an American is not free to choose the clothes of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society.
Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our wallet. Having made a choice within these limits, we can have certain changes made. But apart from small adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their shelves. Statuses too come ready-made, and the range of choice among them is limited.
小題1:According to the writer, people often assume different statuses______.
A．in order to distinguish themselves from others
B．in order to better recognize other people
C．a(chǎn)s their mental processes change
D．a(chǎn)s the situation changes
小題2:In the last sentence of the second paragraph, “it” refers to “___”
A．constant mental process
B．selecting one’s own statuses
C．recognition of other people’s statuses
D．fitting our actions to those of other properly
小題3:What can be the best title for this text?
A．Proper Relations.
B．Limited Choices.
C．Judgment of Statuses.
D．Comparison of Clothes.

There is very simple way of measuring the height of a water-tower, which we cannot measure by climbing.
Suppose, for example, that we wish to find out the height of the water-tower, AB, in a factory. We first of all go to where the water-tower is standing and measure a distance of, say, 25 feet from it. Then we take a stick, and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked.
Let us suppose the stick we are using is 4 feet in height. We now walk farther away from the water –tower in the same straight line as when we measured off the distance of 25 feet. We go from the water-tower until we come to point E, where with our head on the ground, we see the top of the stick and the top of the water-tower in the same height line---that is, the top of the stick just covers the highest part of the water-tower. Every schoolboy can work out the height of the water-tower now.
Suppose that the line CE is five feet. We know that the stick is 4 feet high and the distance BE is 30 feet. Thus, 5 is to 4 as 30 is to AB.
小題1:If we want to know how high a tall tree is,_______.
A. we have to climb up the tree
B. we have no way out
C. we must cut down the tree
D we needn’t climb up the tree
小題2: According to the passage, which of the following is correct?

小題3:It is clear from this that the problem can be settled by _________.
A．a(chǎn) child
B．the boy who has little schooling
C．everyone
D．a(chǎn) girl at middle school
小題4:To measure a water-tower in this way, _________.
A．no tool is needed
B．Besides a stick, tape-measure (卷尺) or at least a ruler is necessary.
C．we have to use nothing but a stick
D．we have to prepare a set of expensive tools

It’s such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it’s pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
It’s a library built with love.
A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”
Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and made a door of glass.
After adding the library’s final touches (裝點), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids’ favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.
Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (補充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.” (317 words)
小題1:In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?
A．It owns a yellow roof.B．It stands near a sidewalk.
C．It protects book lovers from the sun.D．It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.
小題2:Janey got the idea to build a library from __________.
A．a(chǎn) visit to Brian WilliamsB．a(chǎn) spring break with her family
C．a(chǎn) book sent by one of her neighborsD．a(chǎn) report on a Wisconsin-based organization
小題3:The library was built __________.
A．by a ship supply companyB．on the basis of toy horses
C．like a mailboxD．with glass
小題4:What can we infer about the signboard?
A．It was made by a user of the library.B．It marked a final touch to the library.
C．It aimed at making the library last long.D．It indicated the library was a family property.
小題5:The passage tells us that the users __________.
A．donate books to the library
B．get paid to collect books for the library
C．receive thank-you notes for using the library
D．visit the library over 5 times on average daily
