I went over my grandmother’s house today and she didn’t have time for me. You see, the lady’s husband downstairs died and my Grandmother wanted to make some cookies for her. My grandmother did not analyze (分析) how the lady treated her, or if the lady needed any cookies, or even if the lady would like the cookies. She didn’t think how much the lady has done for her. She simply began baking.

My Grandmother turned 94 last week and this I believe is her secret to life. My grandmother is generous (慷慨) and hard-working in a way that is rare for our time. She lives by a simple belief: if someone needs your help, you help. Never mind all the analyzing and thinking whether the person deserves  or appreciates  the help. My grandmother doesn’t sit around thinking about who might be making use of her; she simply does what is needed.

At 94, she is busy in life. She is making a blanket for a new great grandchild, and worried that I don’t have enough kitchen towels for my home. She is bringing soup to a sick neighbor, and teaching the new wife of her cousin (who is 88) how to cook Italian food.

My grandmother had every right to give up, but she didn’t — and amazingly life did bring her good things, like a husband with twinkling blue eyes who was much ahead of his time and believed that men should do an equal amount of cooking and cleaning in the home, three beautiful children (my father and two aunts), 22 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. My grandmother is not afraid to give someone she barely knows a bowl of soup. She never keeps herself out of the world.

1.The reason why my grandmother made cookies for the lady downstairs is that ________.

   A. she thought the lady was too busy

   B. she would make them as thanks to her

   C. she thought she should do something for the lady at the special time

2. In the writer’s opinion, ________.

   A. my grandmother has a secret way of living

   B. my grandmother does everything on careful consideration

   C. few people are as generous as my grandmother now

   D. my grandmother will get something in return

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

   A. My grandmother cares for her children even some strangers.

   B. My grandfather does not treat women in an unfair way.

   C. This is a family in which there are nearly 30 people now.

   D. My grandmother never keeps everything for herself.

4.We may infer from the text that the writer ________.

   A. thinks his grandmother is living a tired life

   B. thinks his grandmother is doing what she should do

   C. thinks his grandmother should not be so kind

   D. is proud of his grandmother

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
From age eight to eleven, I attended a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class. However, sometimes the headmaster, Mr. Ronald Broaches, would come in and spend an hour or so, teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested. He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would delight in telling the children small stories that would make us laugh. He was a very fair man and had a great influence on many of the children. In my own case, I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. Not only that, they made me interested in math and problem solving that stays with me to this day. They also served to show me that intellectual activity was rewarding when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun. To this day, I can remember Mr. Broaches’ cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. The simple communication with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life. I shall forever be thankful that our paths crossed. Mr. Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unluckily, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt later that he had heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.

People joke that the number of pet dogs in Beijing is more than the urban population. It is an exaggeration to some but Beijingers seem to  21      their pets more than most.
Over the past 15 years, the number of pet dogs in the city has  22  dramatically, right after the local government lifted a ban. Now Beijing is home to more than 1 million  23      according to recent statistics.
Day or night, if you walk into any residential area, it will be easy to spot someone  24     their dog. Often, there is no lead attached to the puppy, which makes it more like a  25      companion rather than an animal. They  26     stroll (漫步) at the same leisurely, carefree pace.
If they meet their neighbors with dogs too, then two  27    emerge（出现）at once: One is for people to engage in gossip, the other is for dogs to career madly around the playground. That is one of the most  28    things I have seen in the city.
