6.One girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber and hers was a lawyer(律师),and she would say things like,"Ew,that's gross(粗俗的)!"I must admit I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did,especially in my early teens,when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girls thought.
The girl lived a few streets away from us,and one winter day---the day her elder sister was getting married---the toilet in their main upstairs bathroom broke and there was water everywhere.Her father,the lawyer called every plumber in the Yellow Page,but nobody would come and because we were having a major snowstorm.Her daughter told him that my father was a plumber,and he called,and my dad went right over---and took me with him.(Maybe he was hoping that the lawyer's daughter would be nicer to me.) My father fixed the toilet,help them clean up everything,and didn't take much time for his trouble.But as we were leaving,he told the girl,"If I ever need a lawyer,I'll be happy to call your dad."
As we walked to our car,he said to me,"Do you believe he didn't know where the main shut-off valve(阀) was?What a dumb ass!"

解答 答案
38、B 细节理解题 根据第二段I must admit I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did"我必须承认对于我父亲的所做的一切感到尴尬."可知当作者的父亲来到她的学校路过教室门口时,她感到尴尬、难为情.故选B
39、A 细节理解题 根据第二段One girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber and hers was a lawyer(律师),and she would say things like,"Ew,that's gross(粗俗的)!""我们班的一个女孩总是取笑我因为我的父亲是一名水管工而她的父亲是一名律师,她总是说类似于这样的话‘那真粗俗'"可知这个女孩对作者是不友好的,故选A

People with smallpox often died.A lot of the patients Jenner looked after were farmers and their families.Jenner noticed a strange thing-the girls didn't get smallpox when they looked after cows.They caught a different,less serious illness.Jenner knew that the farmers sometimes tried to give this less serious illness to their family.They hoped that this would stop them from catching smallpox.
Jenner developed this idea by doing an experiment with a farmer's son.He cut the boy's arm and gave him the less serious illness.He hoped it would protect the boy from smallpox.Jenner and the boy were both very brave because they did not know what would happen.There was a danger that the boy would become very ill,and even die.Fortunately,Jenner's experiment was successful.The government asked other doctors to use the same treatment.Thanks to Jenner,no one gets smallpox today.
