A ten-year-old boy from Howell, Michigan America is being hailed (赞扬…为) a hero due to his persistence (坚持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The chain of events unfolded late in the evening on Sunday, January 26th, 2014 when Danny Dipietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his dad.
That's when the young boy noticed an open garage and a figure that he believed was a dog outside an apartment near his house. Given the extremely cold weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing (不予理会) it like most kids at his age would have, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, go to examine what was going on. Dawn tried to convince (使相信) Danny that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.
Dawn finally gave in and decided to take a walk to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to Danny's premonition (预感). Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment she noticed a garage that was wide open and a bent figure, waving madly. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog that the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge, one of her neighbors. The 80-year-old had slipped on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.
Dawn rushed home to get her husband for help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they waited for the ambulance to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and grateful to Danny for his premonition.
(1)Why didn't Dawn want to have a look at first?
A.Because it was too cold outside.
B.Because she thought Danny lied.
C.Because she didn't think people would leave a dog out on such a cold day.
D.Because she was busy with her work.
(2)When Danny Dipietro's mother found the elderly woman, the elderly woman _______.
A.had lain in the garage for two hours
B.was trapped in her garage with her dog
C.was looking for her dog around the garage
D.was lying on the ice outside the garage dead

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
Ongoing conflicts across the Middle East have prevented more than 13 million children from attending school, according to a report published by UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund.
The report states that 40% of all children across the region are currently not receiving an education, which is a result of two consequences of violence: structural damage to schools and the displacement (转移) of populations, also called “forced migration.” Both issues result from the violence that has crossed the region in recent years. The report examines nine countries where a state of war has become the ordinary state. Across these countries, violence has made 8,500 schools unusable. In certain cases, communities have relied on school buildings to function as shelters for the displaced, with up to nine families living in a single classroom in former schools across Iraq.
The report pays particularly close attention to Syria, where a bloody civil war has displaced at least nine million people since the war began in 2011. With the crisis (危机) now in its fifth year, basic public services, including education, inside Syria have been stretched (竭尽所能) to breaking point. Within the country, the quality and availability of education depends on whether a particular region is suffering violence.
The report concludes with an earnest request to international policymakers to offer money and other resources to help ease the regional crisis. With more than 13 million children already driven from classrooms by conflict, the educational future of a generation of children are in the balance. This is destroying the future for an entire region.
(1)What is this article mainly about?
A.Why people are moving away from their own countries.
B.Why there are civil wars and violence in the Middle East.
C.Why many schools have become shelters for displaced families.
D.Why many children in the Middle East are not attending school.
(2)Why is “Iraq” mentioned in the second paragraph?
A.To convince people that temporary housing can be easily found.
B.To prove that class rooms there are big enough to host many families.
C.To give an example of why schools are not usable for children's learning.
D.To show how structural damages of school can affect the quality of education.
(3)What does the phrase “in the balance” in the last paragraph most likely mean?
A.Being well taken care of.
B.In an uncertain situation.
C.Under control by the authority.
D.Moving in the wrong direction.
(4)According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A.The war in Syria has been going on since 2011.
B.More than nine thousand schools have been destroyed by wars.
C.Thirteen million people have been forced to leave their homes in the Middle East.
D.Forty percent of all children in the world are not attending schools due to ongoing conflict.

Over the past few years, there has been a big increase in the number of people sharing information online. In this article, we will learn about some positive reasons for people to share information online.
94% of those surveyed by The New York Times said they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others. We often share information with our friends in the office or at home to educate, entertain, or pleasantly surprise them. This is also true while sharing information online. If you look at the Facebook wall posts of your friends, you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes(引述), entertaining videos, humorous images, funny jokes, etc.
A lot of people share information online to picture their true self to the outside world. Some people, especially those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it extremely convenient to share that information online with others.
According to the study, 78% of the people said they shared information online because it helps them develop better relationships. Today, people are so busy that they do not have the time to meet each other personally. A lot of people now “meet” each other online, rather than in places like restaurants and pubs.
Lastly, when we share our thoughts online, we are actively communicating with a large number of people who are a part of the World Wide Web. Sharing information will affect the viewpoint of others, or add to their understanding about the world.

Everybody sleeps, but what people stay up late to catch or wake up early in order not to miss varies by culture?
From data collected, it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep, on average, are sporting events, time changes, and holidays.
Around the world, people changed sleep patterns thanks to the start or end of daylight savings time. Russians, for example, began to wake up about a half-hour later each day after President Vladimir Putin shifted the country permanently to "winter time" starting on October 26.
Russia's other late nights and early mornings generally correspond to public holidays. On New Year's Eve, Russians have the world's latest bedtime, hitting the hay at around 3:30 a. m.
Russians also get up an hour later on International Women's Day, the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.
Similarly, Americans' late nights, late mornings, and longest sleeps fall on three-day weekends.
Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey (冰球) final.
The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation. The worst night for sleep in the U. K. was the night of the England-Italy match on June 14. Brits stayed up a half-hour later to watch it, and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning. Thanks to summer nights, the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime. That was nothing, though, compared to Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the Cup.
It should be made clear that not everyone has a device to record their sleep patterns; in some of these nations, it's likely that only the richest people do. And people who elect to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person. Even if that's the case, though, the above findings are still striking. If the most health-conscious among us have such deep swings in our shut-eye levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing?
(1)What do we learn about the Russians regarding sleep?
A.They don't fall asleep until very late.
B.They don't sleep much on weekends.
C.They sleep longer than people elsewhere.
D.They get less sleep on public holidays.
(2)The underlined word “deprivation” in the last paragraph but one means .
A.depression
B.loss
C.observation
D.trouble
(3)What is the most probable reason for some rich people to use a device to record their sleep patterns?
A.They have trouble falling asleep.
B.They are involved in a sleep research.
C.They want to get sufficient sleep.
D.They want to go to bed on regular hours.
(4)What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A.Sleeplessness does harm to people's health.
B.It is important to study our sleep patterns.
C.Few people really know the importance of sleep.
D.Average people probably sleep.
