Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States, yet she had only just begun painting in her late seventies. As she once said of herself: "I would never sit back in a rocking-chair, waiting for someone to help me."
She was born on a farm in New York State. At twelve she left home and was in a service until at twenty-seven, she married Thomas Moses, the tenant of hers. They fanned most of their lives. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1928.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at an exhibition, and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were shown in the Museum of Modem Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively pictures of the country life she had known, with a wonderful sense of color and form.

In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University. I had never before seen a man so tall as he, and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at home.
His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears, of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.
Indeed, his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o' clock classes.
Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around.
He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. "Tell me what you see." I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the least hesitation and without a single error, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls, named the colors each student was wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard, spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor, and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window.
As I rejoined Wolfe, I was speechless with surprise. He, on the contrary, was wholly calm as he said, "The worst thing about it is that I'll remember it all."

A. Thomas Wolfe' s teaching work.

A. He tried hard to remember what was in the classroom.
B. He stayed in the classroom for a short time.
C. He quickly drew a picture of Washington Square.
D. He followed the author into the classroom.
( )8. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The author was happy to see the test result.
B. What the students said was hardly true.
C. Wolfe would remember forever what the author had done.
D. Wolfe felt joyful after he had been tested.

The trick in food photography is to show the food looking fresh, so many dishes have stand-ins, just as movie stars do. "When I get my lights and cameras set up, I remove the stand-in and put in the real thing," explains Ray Webber, who photographs food for magazine advertisements. "Sometimes I have to brush the meat with its juices because it may have dried out a bit. And when I'm shooting (拍照) something like tomatoes, I always carry water to spray them with dew just before I shoot."
Shooting food outdoors has special problems. "I' m always worrying about flies or worms crawling up a glass," Webber explains, "my worry is that someday a dog will come up from behind and run off with the food." Once Webber was shooting a piece of cheese outdoors and needed something to make its color beautiful. Finally he found it: a weed with lovely blue flowers. When the shot appeared, several people were horrified--the weed was deadly nightshade!

( )12. From the article we can conclude that deadly night-shade is probably a kind of plant that is .
A. colorful B. poisonous C. ugly D. Both A and B.

Part of the cowboy's job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.

The cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive, the cowboys branded the cattle. They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didn't stop rustlers, or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers. Rustlers made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.

One day in 1848 Mr. Sutter made a remarkable discovery in the American River in California by his house. He noticed some bright yellow pieces in the water and bent down to pick them up. This was the beginning of the Californian Gold Rush.
Sutter realized the importance of the discovery. He sent a man to San Francisco to see the governor.
The people of San Francisco did not believe him at first. But a reporter of a weekly newspaper there went to Sutter's house to make a report. When he came back he ran through the streets of the town shouting, "Gold! Gold!"
Within a month almost the entire population had gone to look for the precious(贵重的)metal. Soldiers deserted the army, sailors left their ships and men gave up their jobs so as not to miss the chance of becoming rich.
The news spread across America to Europe and thousands of people joined in the search. Some sailed round Cape Horn to reach California. Some chose the overland route across America and trains were formed for travelers to make the journey. Even then there were some who were prepared to cross the terrible desert of Death Valley in order to reach the gold a few days before the others.
The Gold Rush proved a disaster for Sutter himself. For years he tried to stop the people from digging his land. They did a great deal of damage (损害)and killed one of his sons, and at the end of his life he was a poor man who continually stopped people in the street to tell them that gold is the devil(恶魔).

We want our kids (小孩) to use the Internet, and yet we worry. But we can find ways to direct our children away from what's wrong, towards what's best.
The most effective (有效地) way to monitor (监控) a kids' online activity is to monitor it. That is, to stand beside the computer from time to time when your child is at it.
Carleton Kendrick suggests that accompanying (陪伴) your child to a website (网站) he often visits is no different from "checking out a playground where your kids go, to see that it's safe.
In any e-mail program, a look at the senders' addresses can give you a good idea of your kids' correspondents (通信者).
America Online allows parents to limit incoming e-mails to a finite (限定的) list of correspondents. Some parents also type their kids' names into a search engine to discover what they're saying on websites or message boards.
Understand that as kids get older and demand more privacy (私密), some basic know-how comes into play. America Online has been particularly effective in helping parents give their children an online experience, a "kids-only' AOL account (帐户) prevents young users from all but full time-monitored chat (聊天) rooms. Katherine Borsecnik, president at AOL, notes, however, that "if I have a child who's doing a report on breast (乳房) cancer (癌), I might want to turn off the filters (过滤器)" since kids-only access (路径) would block websites with even straight medical information about breast.
Many parents don't know that a simple click (点击) on the "history" tab (键) will produce a list of links to every website the computer has visited recently. Bonnie Fell opens all the files that have been downloaded (下载) by her two sons at least once a month―"whether the boys are there or not. Although they know it." As Jim Lynch, who manages message boards for the Boston-based FamilyEducation. com, says, "Parents are the ultimate (最后的) filter."
1. To stand beside the computer from time to time when your child is at it is .
A. the most effective way to monitor a kid's online activity
B. the useful way to direct it away from what's wrong and towards what's best
C. the good way to protect it on the net
D. checking out a playground where your kids go, to see that it's safe.
2. To protect their children on the net, parents can .
a. accompany their children to the website they often visit
b. look at the senders' addresses
c. limit incoming e-mails to a finite list of correspondents
d. type their kids' names into a search engine to discover something
A. ab B. ac C. abd D. abcd
3. America Online .
A. prevents young users from all but full time-monitored chat rooms
B. blocks websites with even straight medical information
C. produces a list of links to every website the computer has visited recently
D. turn off the filters
4. Which of the following is right
A. Katherine Borsecnik says parents are the ultimate filter.
B. Carleton Kendrick says accompanying a child to a website is the same as checking out a playground
C. Jim Lynch says she might want to turn off the filters
D. Bonnie Fell says she opens all the files of her two sons whether they are there or not
(四)
A young woman rode with her new husband in a wagon (四轮马车). They came to a log cabin (小棚屋). The man shouted and a little boy came running out of the cabin. Sarah, the young woman, got down from the wagon, opened wide her arms and held the boy close.
"Hello, Abe Lincoln," she said. "I think we'll be good friends."
The new mother with the smiling face went to work at once. She washed Abe and his sister and tidied (整理) their hair. And that night she threw away the boy's mattress (床垫) of leaves and gave him a soft mattress and enough blankets to keep him warm at night.
Sarah wove cloth and made new shirts for Abe. She made him new deerskin trousers and even deerskin shoes.
Maybe, if she hadn't come to the cabin, he wouldn't have lived to be a man. When Abe's father told him not to go to school any more and help on the farm, Sarah took Abe's part against his father. Abe would rather read than eat, and when his father told him to stop, Sarah said, "Let the boy read."
In 1830 the day came when Abe would leave home to work in New Salem. For the last time she had taken Abe's part against his father. For the last time she had kept the cabin quiet so that Abe could read.
More than twenty years later, when Abe, who had then become famous, was going to make a speech in a nearby town, Sarah went there just to watch him. In the crowd she tried to make herself small, but he saw her and, in front of everybody, got out of his carriage and went over and put his arms around her and kissed her. Yes, that was her Abe.
"He loved me truly," she said later.
1. Which of the following is not true
A. The young woman in the wagon was Abe's new mother.
B. The man in the wagon was Abe's new father.

D. The little boy running out of the cabin was Abe.
2. What did Sarah do as soon as she got to the new home
A. She washed the children and tidied their hair
B. She made a comfortable bed for the boy
C. She made new shirts for the boy
D. both A and B, but not C
3. If Sarah hadn't come to the cabin,
A. Abe's father wouldn't have told him not to go to school
B. Abe wouldn't have helped his father on the farm
C. Abe wouldn't have had so much time to read
D. Abe's father wouldn't have told him to stop reading
4. Sarah said Abe loved her truly because

B. Abe didn't forget her 20 years later
C. Abe kissed her in front of everybody
D. Both A,B and C

Passage 1
In the English educational system, students take three very important examinations. The first is the eleven-plus, which is taken at the age of eleven or a little past. At one time the ability or aptitude shown on the eleven-plus would have determined if a child stayed in school. Now, however, all children continue in "comprehensive" schools, and the eleven-plus determines which courses of study the child will follow. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, the students are tested for the Ordinary Level of the General Certificate of Education. This examination covers a wide range of subjects; once students have passed this exam, they are allowed to specialize, so that two-thirds or more of their courses will be in physics, chemistry, classical language, or whatever they wish to study at. Greater students study only in their concentrated area, and very few students ever venture outside that subject again; in a real sense, the English boy or girl is a specialist from the age of fifteen.

Passage 4
Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don't care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn't seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children's games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
