    According to a news report,a certain private school in Victoria recently was faced with a problem.

     A number of Grade 9 girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine,but after they put it on,they put their lips to the mirror,leaving dozens of little lip prints.

     Every night,the cleaner would remove them and the next day? the girls would put them back.

     Finally,the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the cleaner. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for him who had to clean the mirror every night.

     To show clearly how difficult it had been to clean the mirror,she asked the cleaner to show the girls how much effort was required.

     He took out a long-handled squeegee,dipped it in the toilet,and cleaned the mirror with it.

     After that,there weren’t lip prints left on the mirror any more.

1. C 细节理解题。由第二段第二句they put their lips to the mirror,leaving dozens of little lip prints. ”可知，维多利亚某私立 学校九年级女生引起的问题是在浴室的镜子上留有很多唇印。

2. A 词义猜测题。由第三段的the next day,the girls would put them back. ”可猜测，remove与erase词义相同，均为“擦除”的 意思。

3. D细节理解题。由第四、五、六段的内容可知，校长让清洁工在 女孩们的面前打扫镜子。

4. B推理判断题。由短文内容可判断，女孩们不再把唇印留在镜 子上的主要原因是镜子是用浸泡在厕所里的拖把打扫的，她们应 该是觉得镜子脏而不再把唇印印在镜子上。
