5、Lisa was running late．Lisa，25，had a lot to do at work，plus visitors on the way：her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown．But as she hurried down the subway stairs， she started to feel uncomfortably warm．By the time she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before，she thought．She rested herself against a post close to the tracks．

    Several yards away，Frank，43，and his girlfriend，Jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop．They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying．

    But when he heard the scream，followed by someone yelling，“Oh，my God，she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate．He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails．“ No! Not you!”his girlfriend screamed after him．

    She was right to be alarmed．By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming．The train was about 20 seconds from the station．

    It was hard to lift her．She was just out．But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge．That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purse．

    Lisa thought she’d been robbed．A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head．And she tried to talk but she couldn’t，and that was when she realized how much pain she was in．

    Police and fire officials soon arrived，and Frank told the story to an officer．Jennifer said her  boyfriend was calm on their 40一minute train ride downtown---just as he had been seconds after the rescue，which made her think about her reaction at the time．“I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die，” she explained．

1．What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?

    B．She felt hot in the subway．

    C．She had done a 1ot of work．

    D．She had donated blood the night before．

2．Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?

    A．Because they would miss their train．

    B．Because he didn’t see the train coming．

    C．Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift．

    D．Because she was afraid the train would kill him．

3．How did Frank save Lisa?

    A．By lifting her to the platform．

    B．By helping her rise to her feet．

    C．By pulling her along the ground．

    D．By dragging her away from the edge．

4．When did Lisa become conscious again?

    B．After she was back on the platform．

4、We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class．

   “You could win prizes，”our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard．She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing，“The first prize is ten dollars．You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster．”

    We studied the board critically．Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard，rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs．Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought．We had plans for that ten—dollar grand prize，each and every one of us．I'm going to spend mine on candies，one hopeful would announce，while another practiced looking serious，wise and rich．

    Everyone in the class made a poster．Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins，while others used nothing but colored construction paper．Some of us used big designs，and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one comer of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it．Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness．It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance，and then always—always--rewarding the same old winners．

    I believe I drew a sailboat，but I can’t say that with any certainty．I made it．I admired it．I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen，and then I turned it in．

    Minutes passed．

    No one came along to give me the grand prize，and then someone distracted me，and I probably never would have thought about that poster again．

    I was still sitting at my desk，thinking，What poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten—dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me．

1．What was the teacher's requirement for the poster?

    A．It must appear in time．

    B．It must be done in class．

    A．1oved their own designs more

    B．thought they had a fair chance

    B．1oved poster competitions very much

    C．felt surprised to win the competition

    D．became wise and rich after the competition

3、A few years ago I had an “aha!’ moment regarding handwriting．

I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task．It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting，and then I realized whose it must be．I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point．

    It was a very important event in the computerization of life—a sign that the informal，friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails．There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognized one another's handwriting the way we knew voices or faces．

    As a child visiting my father’s office，I was pleased to recognize，in little notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge—except that those notes were signed“dad”instead of“RFW”．

    All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting，a book by Florey．She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age can’t be expected to learn to hold a pen．

    I don’t buy it．

    I don’t want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does．For many a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting．

    What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th—century Italy．That may sound impossibly grand—as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings．However，they have worked in many school systems．

1．Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague’s handwriting?

    A．He had worked with his colleague long enough．

    B．His colleague’s handwriting was so beautiful．

    C．His colleague’s handwriting was so terrible．

    D．He still had a lot of work to do．

2．People working together in an office used to ____________．

    A．talk more about handwriting

    B．take more notes on workdays

    C．know better one another's handwriting

    D．communicate better with one another

    A．to both his family and his staff

    B．to his family in small letters

    C．to his family on the fridge

    D．to his staff on the desk

4．According to the author，handwritten notes _______．

    A．are harder to teach in schools

    B．attract more attention

    C．are used only between friends

    D．carry more message

5．We can learn from the passage that the author __________．

    A．thinks it impossible to teach handwriting

    B．does not want to lose handwriting

    C．puts the blame on the computer

    D．does not agree with Florey
