请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  As we drove along, my spirits went up again, and I turned, with pleasure, to the thought of the new life which I was entering.But though it was not far past the middle of September, the heavy clouds and strong north-easterly wind combined to make the day extremely cold; and the journey seemed a very long one, so that it was nearly one o'clock before we reached the place of our destination.Yet when we entered the gateway, my heart failed me, and I wished it were a mile or two farther off.For the first time in my life I must stand alone∶there was no retreating now.I must enter that house, and introduce myself among its strange people.But how was it to be done? True, I was near nineteen; but, thanks to the protecting care of my mother and sister, I well knew that many a girl of fifteen, or under, was gifted with a more womanly address, and greater ease and self-possession, than I was.Yet, anyway.I would do very well, after all; and the children, of course, I should soon be at ease with them.

  "Be calm, be calm, whatever happens," I said within myself; and truly I was so fully occupied in steadying my nerves and keeping down the rebellious beat of my heart that when I was admitted into the hall and into the presence of Mrs.Bloomfield, I almost forgot to answer her polite greeting; and it afterwards struck me that the little I did say was spoken in the tone of one half-dead or half-asleep.

  With due politeness, however, she showed me my bedroom, and left me there to take a little refreshment for a little while and led me into the dining-room.Some beefsteaks and potatoes were set before me; and while I dined upon these, she sat opposite, watching me(as I thought)and trying to keep something like a conversation- consisting chiefly of commonplace remarks.In fact, my attention was almost wholly absorbed in my dinner∶not from appetite, but from the toughness of the beefsteaks, and the numbness of my hands.

  “I have had so little time to attend to their education myself, but I think they are clever children, and very willing to learn, especially the little boy; he is, I think, the flower of the flock- a generous, noble-spirited boy, one to be led, but not driven, and remarkable for always speaking the truth.” “His sister Mary Ann will require watching,” continued she, “but she is a very good girl on the whole, though I wish her to be kept out of the nursery as much as possible, as she is now almost six years old, and might acquire bad habits from the nurses.I have ordered her bed to be placed in your room, and if you will be so kind as to look after her washing and dressing, and take charge of her clothes, she needs to have nothing further to do with the nursery maid.”

  I replied I was quite willing to do so; and at that moment the children entered the room.Tom Bloomfield was a well-grown boy of seven.Mary was a tall girl, for her age of six, somewhat dark like her mother.The second sister was Fanny, a very pretty little girl, looking little younger than Mary.The remaining one was Harriet, a little broad, fat, merry, playful thing of scarcely two, whom I had more desire for than all the rest - but with her I had nothing to do.

(1)

Which of the following statements best describes how the writer felt when she entered Mrs.Bloomfield's home?

[  ]

A.

She was nervous, dissatisfied with her manners but still confident.

B.

She was cold, hungry but eager to see all the children in the family.

C.

She was frightened, nervous and regretful about her decision.

D.

She was calm, confident and very happy with all the family.

(2)

What job would the writer take in Mrs Bloomfield's home?

[  ]

A.

A nursery maid.

B.

A house cleaner.

C.

A home cook.

D.

A family teacher.

(3)

Which of the following was TRUE according to the passage?

[  ]

A.

The writer had some difficulty with her lunch because of the tough food and the cold.

B.

The delicious food took the writer's attention away from Mrs.Bloomfield's words.

C.

All the children were well educated before the writer came to the family.

D.

All the children in the family were looked after by Mrs Bloomfield herself.

(4)

From the passage, we can infer that ________.

[  ]

A.

Mrs Bloomfield would treat the writer kindly and help her a lot

B.

The youngest girl Harriet would be the writer's favourite student

C.

the writer would take on more responsibilities than she should

D.

Tom Bloomfield would be the cleverest of all the children

Getting to the top is hard enough but staying there is an even greater challenge. And so it could be argued that the 10th World Championship 400m victory by Tonique Williams Darling is even more remarkable than when she struck Olympic gold in 2004.
   Coming off the final turn the 27-year-old from the Bahamas held off the attack of both Sanya Richards (USA) and the former World champion Ana Guevara of Mexico displaying a hunger that permanent champions must have.
"I would say that being able to pull off the Olympic title and then come back a year later and pull off the World Championship title has just been a miler coaster (过山车) experience for me," she revealed. "It's really an historical moment for me and for the Bahamas, just to be able to do something like this. And so I feel really humbled and grateful and just overjoyed right now."
"It is not an easy experience. I will tell you, definitely, that in the off-season it was just a struggle to go out there every day and practice because coming off the top races and after the Olympics experience you are just kind of worn out mentally. It's not even physical. So you just go with the season, and work through it, and by the time, like two weeks away from this competition, I was hungry again and ready to be competitive."
Williams Darling credits a support group of friends and family, her husband, Bahamian 400m runner Denis Darling, with keeping her grounded when the natural tendency would be to celebrate and then rest on one's laurels (桂冠,荣誉), Most importantly she credits her Christian faith.
"My life has changed a little bit (since winning the Olympics) but as far as the competition and training it hasn't changed that much,' she declares. "One thing I have tried to do is to train like I have never won anything before. And I think that it was achieved because I could have been lackadaisical (无精打采的) and blown off the season or whatever. I just stayed in there and knew that everybody else was coming after me. That really helped me to stay motivated this season."
46. The underlined words "credit' in paragraph 5 probably means
A. believe somebody
B. add money to the bank
C. attributes her success to those who have supported her
D. record, payment of money
47. Who won the gold medal of the 400m at the 9th World Championship?
A. Denis Darling.                         B. Sanya Richards.
C. Tonique Williams Darling.                D. Ana Guevara.
48. According to the passage we can infer that _________.
A. the 10th World Championship was held in 2005.
B. Tonique Williams Darling's husband was her coach.
C. Denis Darling used to be a winner of the 400m of the Olympics
D. Sanya Richards only won at the .10~ World Championship
49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Tonique Williams Darling was retired after the 10' World Championship.
B. Tonique Williams Darling believed that SomeOne would catch up with her if she'         did not stay motivated and train hard enough.
C. Tonique Williams Darling got to the top because she Was hungry before a competition.
D. According to Tonique Williams Darling, the Olympic title was less important than         the World Championship title.                  
50. Which is the most probable title of the passage?
    A. The harder you work, the more you'll get.
B. An athlete's successful story.
C. The higher top you get, the greater challenge you'll meet.
D. Do your best, and you are sure to be the top.
