          I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have
    porridge, eggs or toast. When others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least
    I wasn't alone when I was sad. My sister and two brothers had the same mean (刻薄的) mother as I did.
         My mother preferred to know where we were all the time. She had to know who our friends were and
    where we were going. We had to clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the
    same clothes for days. We could not lie in bed "sick" in order to miss school. 
         The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and get up at eight the next morning.
    We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, my mother was brave to break the Child
    Labour Law. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook and all sorts of
    things at home. I believe she lay awake thinking up all things for us to do. 
         My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Two of her children received higher education. None of
    us have ever been arrested (taken away by the police) or divorced. She forced us to grow up into educated
    and honest adults. I am trying to raise my three children this way. I am filled with pride when my children
    call me "mean". Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.
    1. How many children does the writer's mother have?
    A. Four.
    B. Two.
    C. Three.
    D. Six. 
    2. What can you infer (推测) from the passage?
    A. My family was rich, so I ate a sandwich for lunch.
    B. My mother was a great success. We love her.
    C. If we didn't want to go to school, the best way was to pretend to be sick.
    D. We needn't share the housework at home.
    3. The best title for this passage may be _______. 
    A. My childhood
    B. The meanest mother
    C. I do as my mother did
    D. Unforgettable memories

         The building is shaking. A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door, but fails. Finding
    no way, she rushes into her bedroom and there they survive the earthquake. 
         In a factory building, as the workshop floor swings under the terrible shaking, workers run for safety.
    Some hide (隐藏) under the machines and survive, but others who try to run outside are killed by the falling
    ceilings.
         These scenes, played by actors and actresses, are from a film of science education 《Making a
    Split Second Decision》 shown in 1998 on China Central TV in memory of Tangshan Earthquake. By
    studying actual cases in the earthquake areas and scientific experiments, experts (专家) find that buildings
    remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake.
         In this short time, one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying near the inside walls, in
    bedrooms and under beds, experts concluded in the film. "Earthquakes seem to catch the lives of those who
    run," said many survivors in the earthquake areas, describing how their friends were killed on the doorways
    or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the building.
         Their advice was proved in the film, "Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run, unless you are
    sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds."
    1. The word "survive" appears in the passage several times. It probably means ________ in Chinese.
    A. 遇难
    B. 幸存
    C. 恐惧
    D. 摇晃 
    2. The workers who tried to run outside the building died because ________.
    A. the factory building was shaking terribly
    B. they were making a film
    C. they didn't have enough time to run outside
    D. they were too nervous
    3. The passage suggests that you should ________ when an earthquake happens.
    A. cry for help
    B. not move and lie on the floor at once
    C. run down the steps as fast as you can
    D. find a safe place and hide in at once or run out in ten seconds
    4. Where can we probably find this passage?
    A. In a magazine.
    B. In an advertisement.
    C. In a history book.
    D. In a poster.

                                       To Give up or Not to Give up as Class Monitor?
    Dear Brad, 
          In about 3 months, I will take a very important test. If I pass the test with good grades, I can get to the
    10th grade and choose a good school to study in. Now I am trying my best to achieve this. At the same time, I'm the monitor in my class, which means I should do lots of things for my class. ① I am so busy with my
    school-work and duties as monitor that I don't have enough time to keep a balance between them.
    Gradually
    I become lazy. ② The other day, my head teacher told me that she was disappointed in my poor performance
    as class monitor.
    Her words really discouraged me. 
         What should I do now, to give up or not to give up as class monitor? I must do my best in school because
    how well I do will influence where I go after this school year is over and it can affect the rest of my life. Being
    class monitor is also a valuable learning experience because my teacher trusts me to be a good leader. ③ I
    don't want to go to my parents for suggestions, for they will get worried about me.
    Can you tell me how to
    choose?
                                                                                                                                                    Yours, 

          K.L. Rothey, 71, from the United States, a retired lawyer 
          Rothey has given himself the Chinese name of Luqi or "roadside beggar (乞丐)". In his eyes, beggars
    are doing important work collecting rubbish. What they do is not dirty. Littering the street is, he adds.
          Rothey first visited China in 1984 and soon he became interested in Chinese culture. Married to a Chinese
    calligrapher (书法家), he lived in Huangshi, Hubei Province.
          Many people know him because he often shows up in the street collecting rubbish."Huangshi is my home
    so I hope it becomes cleaner and more beautiful," says Rothey. He has also organized volunteers to collect
    rubbish in other cities, including Wuhan.
          Rothey says he'll continue collecting rubbish, as long as he is able to. 
          Jill Robinson, 50, from Britain, founder (创立者) and CEO of Animals Asia Foundation. She has been
    working for nearly 20 years to stop people from getting the bile (胆汁) from moon bears for use in traditional
    medicine.
         She began working for the International Fund for Animal Welfare in Hong Kong in the mid-1980s. A
    business trip to a bear farm in the mainland in 1993 changed her life. She saw so many moon bears killed by
    people. That made her cry. She said she would be back to set them free.
          In 1998, she set up the Animal Foundation. In July 2000, the foundation agreed to free 500 farmed moon
    bears. In 2002, the Moon Bear Rescue(救援) Center was set up in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan.
          Now, bear farms have been sto pped in the area of two-thirds of China. "As much as we rescue them,
    they rescue us. These bears rescue us every single day and they teach us to be better people," Robinson says.
