An old woman diverted (轉(zhuǎn)移 ) attention from the book when I was sitting in my car. She walked slowly towards my parked car with a large shoulder bag. She stopped and put a hand out to rest against the car. She gently closed her eyes, took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off her forehead. Was there a way I could do anything to help her? But I wondered if the lady noticed me sitting inside the car, she would feel embarrassed and walk away.

I stilled my body while my mind searched for answers. I turned my head towards my driver, wanting him to ask the lady if we could give her a ride. Because of my head movement, she noticed me and moved her hand away from the car. Her calm expression changed to a cautious one. I grabbed the water bottle next to me, smile, gently opened the door and offered the bottle to her. She looked at me hesitatingly, shook her head with downcast (低垂的) eyes and walked away.

I was so annoyed with myself. I should have been more careful not to move. However, she was back I opened the door and patted the seat next to me. She sat down, opened her bag and offered me a banana. I took it and offered her the water bottle again. She took it. I ate, she drank and we smiled. She rested for a couple of minutes.

Those minutes brought such tranquility (寧靜) to me. She took my head in both her hands and kissed my forehead, and then she left. I was trying to help someone in distress(不幸，苦惱). In turn, I became distressed and she took away my distress and replace it with tranquility.

As a young adult, Noah Webster was a teacher. At this time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples — a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.

Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word “head” should be spelled “hed”, and the word “l(fā)augh” should be spelled “l(fā)af”. People liked Webster’s suggestions.

However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “l(fā)abor”, and the British write “colour” and “l(fā)abour”.

With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to write. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828. Webster’s dictionary had over 70000 words and gave the meaning and origin of each. To this day, Webster’s work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.

1.Which of the following statements is right?

A. Noah Webster had to borrow books from Britain when he was a student.

C. Webster was good at correcting mistakes in textbooks

D. American people didn’t like speaking English

3.In American history, Noah Webster is famous for ________.

A. his teaching methods

B. his dictionary

C. his fighting for freedom

D. learning foreign languages

4.The last sentence of this passage means ________.

A. most dictionaries in the world are the copies of Webster’s

B. most dictionaries in American English have the characteristics of Webster’s

C. most American people followed Webster’s advice on writing

D. Webster’s dictionary is the only one used in the United States

Last week, we had a class meeting, making a survey about the phenomenon of some students copying from others’ homeworks and cheating in exams. The survey shows that 98% of the students questioning think it is a matter of honesty. However, 25% of the students think they have too many homework, and their parents and teachers care too much for their scores. As result, some of them can’t help copy from others to avoid being punished. In my opinion, this is wrong to copy from others. We students should be honest but try to finish our homework all by ourselves. As for teachers, they had better to offer students different homework and tests depending on different levels. By doing such, every student can have a sense of accomplishment.

Having experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Franco’s world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by lightning. Witnesses (目擊者) thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a tree and a muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from lightning. However, none of them could give a compelling answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.

1.The reason why James attempted to kill himself was that ________.

A. a terrible electrical accident happened to him

B. he had to live in a dark and silent world

C. he was struck by lightning once more

D. nobody in the world cared about him

2.What was James doing when he was struck by lightning?

A. Sheltering from the rain under a tree.

B. Putting an end to his life.

C. Taking a walk with a stick.

D. Lying on the ground.

3.What does the underlined word “compelling” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. wrongB. convincingC. unexplainedD. true

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. A Terrible Electrical Accident

B. James Franco and His Wife

C. An Unforgettable Experience

D. What a Sudden Shock!
