On May 8, last Thursday morning, the Olympic flame was lit on the top of Mount Qomolangma! It was a historic moment for China exactly three months ahead of the Beijing Games.

Tibetan female climber Cering Wangmo reached the summit with a special extreme-altitude Olympic torch. This event is what China has promised to the world as the high point of the torch relay, the longest and most challenging of all time.

Five torchbearers(火炬手) finished the highest relay ever—three of the climbers are Tibetan athletes.

Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in Chinese, English and Tibetan, as they stood at the summit celebrating, with the event broadcast on national television.

“I finally fulfilled the last dream of my husband,” said Gyigyi with tears in her eyes. She was the first torchbearer. Her husband lost his life in an attempt to climb all 14 mountains in China more than 8,000 meters three years ago.

“We are on top of the world! One world, one dream,” shouted Nima Cering, at the top of his voice. He said that although he had climbed the peak（峰顶）several times, this was the most significant ascent(登高). “As a Tibetan and a Chinese I pray for the success of Beijing 2008,” he added.

The special torch is different from the one currently touring the Chinese mainland, after an around-the-world relay. Officials organizing the trek up the peak had earlier set an April 26 target to begin the ascent, but high winds and heavy snow had delayed the mission.

The Xinhua News Agency said that the Qomolangma leg of the torch relay represents the Olympic motto, “higher, faster and stronger,” in practice and will promote unity among all 56 ethnic groups in China.

A. some Tibetan torchbearers took part in it

B. it was lit three months before the Olympic Games were held

C. it was the first time that the Olympic torch had been lit on the top of Mount Qomolangma

D. it was the longest attempt in history

A. All the five torchbearers are men.

B. Only the five torchbearers reached the summit.

C. Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in their native language.

D. At least two of the five torchbearers are females.

What does the word “leg” underlined in the last paragraph refer to?

A. One part of a journey or race.

B. One of the long parts that connect the feet to the rest of the body.

C. The leg of an animal, especially the top part, cooked and eaten.

D. The part of a pair of trousers that covers the leg.

My biggest frustration was trying to why he didn’t make choices that would him to be involved more fully in the lives of his grandchildren. Yet he each and every one of them. Every morning he asked my mother which of his grandbabies was going to that day. He had frequent visits from his collection of loving grandkids. Kids would have the place up instantly—toys everywhere, cushions off the couches and the TV channel to their station. Every visit was a kid invasion into his space. Interestingly, he was not at all bothered by the or chaos at all. He was never with them and he certainly never shouted at any child. Visits ended with and kisses.

I felt that relationship wasn’t good enough because he didn’t actually do anything my children. My dad didn’t read to the children, and certainly played a board game or did a puzzle with them. He didn’t take them out for or do any of the other things I saw active grandparents doing with their grandchildren. It made me sad that he was to get on with the kids.

A couple of weeks after his death, my 9-year-old daughter turned up in my bedroom at midnight to share a

of him done by herself. Included in the picture were several messages and —one for each day since he had died. The most striking one to me was“I loved EVERYTHING about you, Grandpa”.

Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.

She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it, but the shifts（工作班次） are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”

So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just ￡90, before tax and insurance. “It’s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours’ should get a bit extra.”

The hours she’s chosen to work meant that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.

Her work isn’t physically very hard, but it’s not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful.”

The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself——and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”

Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write,” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing, but I don’t think that way any more. I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it.”

1. Margaret quit her job as a nurse because _______.

A. she wanted to earn more money to support her family

B. she had suffered a lot of mental pressure

C. she needed the right time to look after her children

D. she felt tired of taking care of patients

2. Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because _______.

A. they never clean their offices B. they look down upon cleaners

C. they never do their work carefully D. they always make a mess in their offices

3. When at work, Margaret feels _______.

A. light-hearted because of her fellow workers B. happy because the building is fully lit

C. tired because of the heavy workload D. bored because time passed slowly

4. The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret’s parents would _______．

A. help care for her children B. regret what they had said

C. show sympathy for her D. feel disappointed in her
