【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Jeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October, 1995, when at the age of 120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237 days.
Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people's home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describes her as being more like a 90-year-old woman in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.
So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she used to do exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke (now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have got very good genes from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday, Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying: Sorry, I'm still alive!
(1)How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?
A.She is miserable and unhappy.
B.She feels she is going to die very soon.
C.She would like to live much younger.
D.She is cheerful and humorous.
(2)Which of the following word could best replace the word “move” in the fourth paragraph?
A.trick
B.deal
C.march
D.sport
(3)Why does Jeanne Calment say “Sorry, I'm still alive” to the lawyer every year on her birthday?
A.Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.
B.Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.
C.Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.
D.Because the house she sold to the lawyer is worth the money he has already paid.

【题目】Did you know the meaning of a word may change over time? Many English words we know now had different meanings a long time ago. One example is the word nice.

Around the year 1300, nice was first used in English to mean “stupid”. Two hundred years later, nice began to carry a “better” meaning. If people said a book was written nicely, they meant the book was written “clearly” or “carefully”, not “stupidly”. After 1800, nice began to take its meaning like kind or “friendly”. Since then, people have thought of nice as a word with good meanings.

A good change of a word’s meaning like this example of nice is called AMELIORATION. Though we don’t use nice to mean “stupid” any more, it is fun to know how much a word’s meaning can change from its start!
