【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(ABCD)中,选出最佳选项

He’s an old cobbler(修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: “I haven’t time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street; he’ll fix them for you right away.”

But I’d had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman(手艺人). “No,” I replied, “the other fellow can't do it well.”

“The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait” without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap(鞋带), you might as well just throw away the pair.

My man saw I wouldn’t give in, and he smiled. He looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.”

I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.

“See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.”

When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.

These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption(消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.

【1】Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?

AHe was equipped with the best repairing tools.

BHe was proud of his skills.

CHe was the only cobbler in the Marais.

DHe was a native Parisian.

2The underlined sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend” shows that ______.

Ait was difficult to communicate with this man

Bthe man was very strange

Cnowadays you can hardly find anyone like him

Dthe man was too old

3According to the author, many people work just to ______.

Amake money

Brealize their abilities

Cgain happiness

Dgain respect

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项

A blocked airway(呼吸道) can kill someone in three to four minutes, but it can take more than eight minutes for an ambulance to arrive. So a simple procedure such as opening someone's airway can save their life while they're waiting for emergency medical help. This means you're more likely to give first aid to someone you know than a stranger.

There are many misconceptions (误解) surrounding first aid. Below are the ‘most popular’ ones with details of what you should do.

You should put butter or cream on a burn. The only thing you should put on a burn is cold water keep the butter for cooking. Put the affected area under cold running water for at least ten minutes.

The best way to treat bleeding is to put the wound under a tap. If you put a bleeding wound under a tap you wash away the body's clotting agents(凝血剂) and make it bleed more. Instead put pressure on the wound with whatever is available to stop or slow down the flow of blood. As soon as possible call 999. Keep pressure on the wound until help arrives.

Nosebleeds are best treated by putting the head back. If you put the head back during a nosebleed, all the blood goes down the back of the airway. Instead advise them to tilt(倾斜) their head forwards and ask the person to pinch(捏) the end of their nose and breathe through their mouth.

You need lots of training to do first aid. You don’t what you mostly need is common sense. You can learn enough first aid in a few minutes to save someone's life whether it’s from a book, attending a course or watching videos online.
