         It was 3:12 a.m., when nine-year-old Glenn White awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the
    crackling (噼啪声) of flames (火苗) somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at
    Baldwin, Long Island.
        With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother,
    his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke filled house to
    push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety
    of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths (呼吸) and coughing, collapsed
    (倒) on the lawn (草坪).
         The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room. He found it impossible to
    wake her up. Mrs. White, a victim (受害者) of the smoke, was unconscious (失去知觉的), and there was
    nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later,"acted
    with all the self-control of a trained adult."
        On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. White to telephone
    the fire brigade (消防队员) and ambulance (救护车) service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
         First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then,
    with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden. He could hear the fire engine coming up, but
    how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up
    the ground floor?
        Grasping (抓住) firmly a ball of string from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed (猛冲)
    upstairs to his mother's room. Tying (系) one end of the string to her hand he ran back, laying out (铺放)
    the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.
        Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan,"The string will lead you to mother." Mrs. White
    was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through the bedroom floor.
    1. Why did Glenn run downstairs first?
    A. He wanted to save his sister and brother.
    B. He went to see if his father had come back from work.
    C. He wanted to find out what was happening.
    D. He was worried about his mother's safety.
    2. How did Glenn help the firemen to save his mother?
    A. By pushing and pulling at her.
    B. By tying a string to her hand.
    C. By putting out the fire himself.
    D. By carrying her to safety with his brother.
    3. Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service?
    A. Glenn's sister.
    B. Glenn's neighbor.
    C. Glenn.
    D. Glenn's father.
    4. What did Glenn do to protect himself?
    A. He hid himself in the bathroom.
    B. He rushed out to the lawn.
    C. He put a wet cloth around his head.
    D. He threw water all over himself.
    5. Glenn saved his family because ______.
    A. he had followed his mother's instruction
    B. he had dealt with the emergency (紧急情况) calmly and wisely
    C. his father had taught him to do so on the phone
    D. he had learned something about first aid

         The spider is very little and clever. Its body is made up of two parts. It has four pairs of legs and eight
    little eyes.
         The spider loves work. It begins to work as soon as it begins to live. Every spider is a weaver. Even the
    youngest spider knows how to weave (编织) its web just as well as the oldest.
         The silk of which it makes its web comes from its body. It is like hairs. Many of these hairs come out
    at the same time, but they are all formed into one rope of silk. It is so thin that a hundred of them together
    are only as thick as a human hair.
        First the spider fasten (固定) one end of the silk thread (丝线) to a leaf or to a piece of wood, then it turns
    and fastens it to the other end.
        When the spider fastens both ends, it can run down the silk and fix some more threads. These are the
    cross ropes of the web. Then it weaves other lines round them, and makes about twenty rings.
        Then spider works hard and fast, and it finishes its work in less than an hour. The web is then so strong
    that the wind cannot blow it away and the rain cannot break it. The purpose of the spider's web is to catch
    insects, which are its food.
         Insects cannot walk or fly out of the web, because the spider covers it all with something like glue (胶水),
    which sticks to anything that touches the web and holds it fast (牢固).
         Not all the spiders are the same sort of work to do. Some spiders are masons (泥瓦匠). They build houses
    the size of a big thimble (顶针). They make doors in them, which they shut after them when they go in. They
    can even fasten the door of the house from the inside, so that no robber can get in.
         The garden spider lets thread float in the air till they stick to plants or to the branches of trees. It then uses
    these threads as the roads or bridges to cross from one place to another.
    1. What is the spider's silk like?
    A. It's very thin. One hundred of them are as thin as a human hair.
    B. It's very strong. It is made of human's hair.
    C. It's really like human hair and it's as thin as human's hair.
    D. It's as strong as one hundred human's hair.
    2. While the spider makes its web, _______.
    A. first it makes a leaf or a piece of wood
    B. first it fixes one end of the silk thread firmly to a leaf or a piece of wood
    C. first it fixes one end of the silk thread to its own head
    D. first it fixes human's hair to a leaf or a piece of wood. Then makes a web along the air
    3. The spider makes about _______ rings.
    A. thirsty
    B. a hundred
    C. fifty
    D. twenty
    4. The spider finishes its work _______.
    A. more than a day
    B. in less than an hour
    C. in a week
    D. in half an hour
    5. Which of the following is true?
    A. All the spiders are masons.
    B. The garden spider lets thread float in the air to catch insects.
    C. The silk of which makes its web comes from human's hair.
    D. The spider is both little and clever.
