It was a warm March evening,and I’d just taken a seat on the bus that would take me home.It was nearly 6:00 PM,but the bus was not yet full and the driver gave no 1that he intended to start the bus.
A middle-aged woman took a seat opposite me . She was crying.Not speaking to anyone in particular,she2told her story.
She had come to the city to visit her daughter.On the way to the terminal(终点站),a thief had3 one of her bags.It had contained half of the money she’d brought with her.The other half was hidden under her blouse, so she4 still had some money left.The bus conductor,driver,and other passengers listened to her tale.
At this time, an old man5got on the bus.He sat in the seat directly in front of the woman.After a few minutes, all seats were6.The driver started the engine.The bus conductor collected tickets and began asking us where we were7.When he came to the old man’s seat,he became8 and asked the old man whether he had any money.The old man9 that he did not.He explained that he10 all his money this morning when he’d accidentally got on the wrong bus and now he was trying to go home.
Upon hearing this,the bus conductor11 the old man to get off the bus.The old man was almost in tears as he begged the bus conductor to let him take that bus12 he could get home before dark.The bus driver approached the old man,and repeated the conductor’s13 to get off the bus.
“Stop troubling him! Can’t you see he’s only trying to get home?”she interrupted.“He doesn’t have any money!”the driver shouted.“Well, that’s no14 to throw him off the bus,”she insisted.Then she said,“How much is his fare?”The bus conductor mumbled the amount.“Fine.”said the woman.She15 inside her blouse, took out her16 money,and handed the fare to the bus conductor.“Here’s his fare and mine.Just stop giving him a hard time.”
All eyes turned17 the woman,who,just minutes before,had been crying over the money she’d lost.“It’s only money,” she shrugged.
By the time the bus pulled out of the terminal,she had given the old man some bread and a dollar.She rode the rest of the way home18 a Mona Lisa smile of peace and grace,and the money she’d lost19was forgotten.
On the road of life,the politeness and smiles of20 can lighten our loads and lift our spirits.How much sweeter the journey when we make it a little smoother and richer for others !

William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would who probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet Auden wrote, among others, the following liners:
Earth, receive an honored guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
Emptied of its poetry.
【小题1】Which of the following can describe Yeats’s family?

A.It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter.

A.Yeats founded the first Irish theater.
B.Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.
C.Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
D.Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.
【小题3】What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden’s lines?
A.Envy.B.Sympathy.
C.Emptiness.D.Admiration.
【小题4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Yeats’ literary achievements.

The World Trade Organization came into existence in the 1990s. It operates a system of trade rules. It serves as a place for nations to settle disagreements and negotiate agreements to reduce trade barriers. The newest of its 150 members, Vietnam, joined in January.
But the roots of the W.T.O. date back to World War Two and the years that followed. In 1944,   the International Monetary(货币的) Conference agreed to create the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. But they could not agree on an organization to deal with international trade.
Three years later, in 1947, twenty-three nations approved the General Agreement on Tariffs (关税)and Trade, or GATT. It was meant to be temporary. Trade negotiations under GATT were carried out in a series of talks called rounds. The first round lowered import taxes on one-fifth of world trade. Later rounds produced additional cuts, and negotiators added more issues.
The sixth round began in 1963. It was called the Kennedy Round after the murder of President John F. Kennedy. The results included an agreement against trade dumping. This is when one country sells a product in another country at an unfairly low price.
The eighth round of talks began in Punta del Este, Uruguay, in 1986. The Uruguay Round lasted almost twice as long as planned. In all, 123 nations took part in seven-and-a-half years of work. They set time limits for future negotiations. They also agreed to create a permanent system to settle trade disagreements.
In April of 1994, most of those 123 nations signed an agreement. It replaced GATT with the World Trade Organization.
The W.T.O. launched a new round on development issues in Doha, Qatar, in November of 2001. These talks were supposed to end by January of 2005. But negotiators could not agree on issues involving agricultural protections. The current round has been suspended since last July.

B. It was first approved by less than 30 countries.
C. It was a branch of the World Bank.
D. It was meant to improve international trade.
