19．My grandmother Rosalind  Einhorn  was born  exactly fifty-two year's before I was，on August 28，1917，Like many poor Jewish families in New York City，hers lived in a small，crowded  apartment close to their relatives．Her parents，aunts，and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names，but she and her sister were referred to only as"Girlie"．
During the Depression t my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit．No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school．A boy's edocation was the family's hope to move up the financial and social ladder Education for girls，however，was less significant both financially，since they were unlikely to contribute to the family's income，and culturally，since hoys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a"proper home？!"Luckily for my grandmother，a local teacher insisted that her parents put her back into school．She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U．C Berkeley，
After college，"Girlie"worked selling pocketbooks  and accessories at  David's Fifth Avenue．When she left her job to marry my grandfather，David's  had to hire four people to replace her．Years later，when my grandfathers paint  business was struggling，she jumped in and look some of the hard steps he was reluctant  to take，helping to save the family from financial ruin．She displayed her business ability again in her forties．After being diagnosed （诊断）with breast cancer，she beat it and then devoted herself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches．Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy．I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than，my grandmother．
When my grandmother had children of her own-my mother and her two brothers-she emphasized education for all of them．My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania，When she graduated in 1965with a degree in French literature，she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women：teaching or nursing．She chose teaching．She began a Ph．D．programme，got married，and then dropped out when she became pregnant with me．It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wife's help to support their family，so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer．The centuries-old division of labour stood．
Even though I grew up in a traditional home，my parents had the same expectations for me．my sister，and my brother．All three of us were encouraged to do well in school．do equal routine tasks，and participate in after-school activities．We were all supposed to be athletic too．My brother and sister joined sports teams，but I was the kid who got picked last in gym，Despite my athletic shortcomings．I was raised to believe that girls could do aoything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me．
When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987．my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics．I don't remember thinking about my future career differently from the male students．I also don't  remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children．My friends and I assumed that we would have both．Men and women competed openly and aggressively with one another in classes，activities，and job intefviews．Just two generations removed from my grandmother，the playing field seemed to be level．
But more than twenty years after my college graduation．the world has not evolved nearly as much as I believed it would．Almost all of my male classmates work in professional settings．Sonic of my female classmates work full-time or part-time outside the home．and just as many are stay-at-home  mothers and volunteers like my mom．This mirrors the national trend．In comparison to their male counterparts （相同能力者），highly trained women are scaling back and dropping out of the workforce in high numbers．

World Book Day falls on April 23 every year．It was set up by the United Nations Educational,Scientific, and Cultural Organization(UNESCO) in 1995 to encourage people, especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure of reading．It is also the day to honor great writers，for example，William Shakespeare，born or dead on that day．

Many countries celebrate World Book Day．Take UK as an example．On that day，millions of school children can buy books of special price，a much lower price than usual，in any bookstore．It has been done every year since 1998．World Book Day is also celebrated in China. Our Former Premier Wen Jiabao, a bookworm, who does lots of reading every day, has called on people to do more reading. He suggested that young people should spend more time reading．"Books cannot change the world, but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading,” he said．

Why do people like reading? One big advantage is that reading helps us become more knowledgeable and more intelligent. Also, reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology. Besides, reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that are unfamiliar to us. We would have to use our brain to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. What’s more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English．

"Reading makes a full man" (Bacon，1597). Books，magazines，newspapers and other kinds of materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us. So it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day．

Captain Henry, a 98-year-old American retired fisherman, has become a first-time author, having written and published his autobiography In a Fisherman’s Language after learning to read at the age of 91.

Mr. Henry spent most of his life without even his closest family members knowing he was illiterate (不识字的). Forced to quit school in the third grade to take odd jobs, he kept the secret close to his chest, only telling his late wife. Henry’s granddaughter, Marlisa, told reporters how he used tricks, like waiting for others to order at restaurants first, to avoid the issue.

A family dispute in his nineties, she said, aroused his desire for education. “He signed a document he could not read about where he was going to live,” Marlisa said. Starting with his name, he eventually moved on to the ABC’s and children’s books. He put them down since his wife fell ill. After the tragic loss of his wife, he went back to reading and began to log his life. He wrote about his family’s voyage from Portugal to the US, how he went on to captain a boat, and his many journeys at sea.

His life stories have become so popular that nearly 800 copies were sold in the first two weeks after the book’s release. One thousand more have been printed as requests for the book flood in as far as Germany. And now even Hollywood producers have approached Mr. Henry about buying the rights to his life stories for a big screen adaptation.

The family also now has a book agent and a deal in the works to publish a second edition. Meanwhile, the family says they are reconnecting and closer than ever as a result of Henry’s late-life efforts. “Everyone has a story, Marlisa said. “It teaches that when you’re down and out. never give up.”

1.When did Henry begin writing his life story?

A. After his wife passed away.

B. Before his wife passed away.

C. When he was at the age of 91.

D. After he retired from work.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. Henry didn’t love his wife.

B. A Hollywood producer wishes to make a movie out of Henry’s book.

C. Henry began his reading with some famous novels.

D. Henry’s book was well-received by Americans and he made a lot of money.

3.How did Henry’s family benefit from the 2nd edition?

A. The family got known in the US.

B. His family moved from Portugal to the US.

C. The family ties were rebuilt and strengthened.

D. His family spread abroad.

4.What message can Henry’s story give us?

A. Writing can make people rich.

B. A person should write his story.

C. One is never too old to learn.

D. Everything comes to him who waits.
15．Have you ever wondered why birds sing？Maybe you thought that they were just happy．After all，you probably sing or whistle when you are happy．
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy．However，they sing most of the time for a very different reason．Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory．
Do you know what a"territory"is？A territory is an area that an animal，usually the male，claims（声称）as its own．Only he and his family are welcome there．No other families of the same species（物种）are welcome．Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome．If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you，you might shout．Probably this would be enough to frighten him away．
If so，you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him．A bird does the same thing．But he expects an outsider almost any time，especially at nesting（筑巢）season．So he is screaming all the time，whether he can see an outsider or not．This screaming is what we call a bird's song，and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away．
Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs．
You can see that birds have a language all their own．Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories．
28．Some scientists believe that most of the time birds'singing is actuallyB．
A．an expression of happiness      
B．a way of warning
C a way of greeting

B．A place where families of other species are not accepted．
C．A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice．
D．An area for which birds fight against each other．
30．Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season？D
A．Because they want to invite more friends．
B．Because they want to find outsiders around．
C．Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away．
D．Because their singing helps get rid of their fears．
31．How does the writer explain birds'singing？B
A．By reporting experiment results．
B．By comparing birds with human beings．
C．By describing birds'daily life．
D．By telling a bird's story．
16．Hannah's daddy was a teacher who barely made enough money to raise his six kids．Hannah wore hand-me-downs from her older sisters．For Christmas she usually got used dolls and books．As a child，she longed for the beautiful clothes，cars，and homes that she often saw on TV and in magazines．
Several years after she graduated from college，she became part-owner of a successful interior decorating business in Manhattan．Her life became what she had dreamed about as a little girl．Become a successful business woman，and she had a handsome，wealthy boyfriend．She owned her own company near Central Park．She took skiing vacations in the winter and mountain resorts in the summer．At the age of 30，Hannah was on top of the world．
Then she underwent a routine health checkup，and her perfect world broke down．Her doctor told her that she had pancreatic（胰腺） cancer．Surgery was necessary to determine how much the cancer had spread．Hannah was operated on a week later．The surgeon suspected that cancer had spread to vital organs．Ten days later，the lab confirmed his suspicions．
Hannah's doctor said he could treat her with chemotherapy and painkillers，but it was just a matter of time before the cancer killed her．She asked how much time．He guessed that she had less than a year to live．How can this be，Hannah wondered．Doesn't this always happen to someone else？

Instead，Hannah spent her last months in her company，tended to by hospice workers．Her family and friends visited her regularly．The moment before she died，she opened her eyes and tried to say something to her boyfriend．She squeezed his hand weakly．
"She was in constant pain，"her boyfriend said．"At the end，she could barely whisper．She weighed 80pounds when she died．I can't believe that God allows things like this to happen to people．"
