    The orderly came back in a few minutes with a rifle（步枪）and some Burmans. He told us that the elephant was in the rice fields below, only a few hundred yards away. As I started forward practically the whole population of the quarter flocked out of the houses and followed me. They had seen the rifle and were all shouting that I was going to shoot the elephant. It was fun to them, as it would be to an English crowd; besides, they wanted the meat. It made me a little uneasy. I had no intention of shooting the elephant—I had merely sent for the rifle to defend myself—and it is always uneasy to have a crowd following you. I marched down the hill, looking and feeling a fool, with the rifle over my shoulder and an ever-growing army of people knocking and pushing at my heels. Beyond the huts there was a rice field a thousand yards across, muddy from the first rains. The elephant was standing eight yards from the road. He took not the slightest notice of the crowd. He was tearing up bunches of grass, beating them against his knees to clean them and feeding them into his mouth.
    As soon as I saw the elephant I knew with perfect certainty that I ought not to shoot him. It is a serious matter to shoot a working elephant — it is comparable to destroying a huge and costly piece of machinery. There, peacefully eating, the elephant looked no more dangerous than a cow. I thought then and I think now that his attack of “must” was already passing off, in which case he would merely wander harmlessly about. Moreover, I did not in the least want to shoot him.
    But at that moment I glanced round at the crowd that had followed me. It was an immense crowd, two thousand at the least and growing every minute. I looked at the sea of the faces above the colorful clothes—faces all happy and excited over this bit of fun, all certain that the elephant was going to be shot. They were watching me as they would watch a magician about to perform a trick. They did not like me. But with the magical rifle in my hands I was momentarily worth watching. And suddenly I realized that I should have to shoot the elephant after all. The people expected it of me and I had got to do it; I could feel their two thousand wills pressing me forward. And it was at this moment that I first felt the hollowness, the uselessness of the white man's control in the East. Here was I, standing in front of the unarmed crowd—seemingly the leading actor; but in reality only a puppet (傀儡). I understood in this moment that when the white man turns ruler of complete power it is his own freedom that he destroys.
    小题1:The people were glad to think the elephant was to be shot mainly because ______.
    A．it had damaged their homes and crops
    B．it would provide them with meat
    C．it would make them feel entertained
    D．it was spoiling their rice fields
    小题2:When the writer saw the elephant he felt       .
    A．foolishB．afraid C．pitifulD．confident
    小题3:The writer realized that he had to shoot the elephant because        .
    A．shooting elephants is a serious problem
    B．everybody expected it of him
    C．he did not wish to disappoint the rulers
    D．he had to show how guns are fired
    小题4:What does the writer intend to tells us when he tells the story?
    A．Leading actors are sometimes foolish puppets.
    B．Government for white people are useless.
    C．Power can sometimes turn people imprisoned.
    D．Unarmed crowds are in control of everything.

    Florence Nightingale（南丁格尔） was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father. 
    As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them. 
    At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided. 
    “Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her. 
    “Then I will make it so, “she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for home. During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen — and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work. 
    Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman. 
    After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries. 
    Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today. 
    小题1:When she was a child, Florence ____ .
    A．loved to travel very much
    B．knew what her duty in life was
    C．loved to help the sick people
    D．was most interested in music and drawing
    小题2:What made Florence make up her mind to become a nurse？

    C．Her education in Germany and France.
    D．Her knowledge from reading great books.
    小题3:During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where ____ .
    A．she earned a little money
    B．work was very difficult
    C．few soldiers died because of her work
    D．she didn’t have enough food or clothes
    小题4:Why was Florence honored by Queen Victoria？
    A．She built the Nightingale Home for Nurses.
    B．She wrote a book on public health.
    C．She worked as a nurse all her life.

    It was the first snow of winter—an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers． Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help．Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she must still remember this one．
    I managed to get into my wool snow trousers． But I struggled on my jacket because it didn't fit well．It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes． At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty． Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots(靴子）．
    In her calm, motherly voice she said, "By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots．” I didn't realize at time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence（信心）．
    I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot． Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work． After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh（叹气）worked the second one on too．
    I said, "They're on the wrong feet．”
    She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again．
    "They're my brother's boots, you know," I said． "I hate them"．
    Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn't an annoying（烦人的）little girl． She pushed and pushed, gently this time． With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me，she asked, "Now, where are your mittens（连指手套）？’’
    I looked into her eyes and said, "I didn't want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots．”
    小题1:The little girl was more satisfied with her＿．
    A．trousersB．jacketC．bootsD．hat
    小题2:Miss Fmlayson had difficulty with the girl's boots mainly because＿．
    A．the girl got them from her brother
    B．the girl put something in them
    C．they were on the wrong feet
    D．they did not fit the girl well
    小题3:Why does the author Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?
    A．Because the little girl was in her brother's clothes．
    B．Because it was the most exciting day of the winter．
    C．Because the little girl played a trick on her．
    D．Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf．
    小题4:We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson         
    A．was losing confidence in the little girl．
    B．gradually lost patience with the little girl．
    C．became disappointed with the little girl．

    Many years ago, whites ruled South Africa. Apartheid（种族隔离制度）was the   16  of the land. One evening, two middle-aged blacks met in a “whites only” section of Johannesburg.

    “Oh, yes? ” Sneered the policeman. “Then why was your friend   25 ?”
    “His doctor has also ordered him to run,” said the man.
    The policeman became   26  with anger. “You think you’re very   27 , don’t you?” he snarled. “But tell me, if you were running   28  for your health why didn’t you stop when you saw me running after you? And don’t tell me you didn’t see me chasing you. I know you did!”

    When I was 11, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. In the end, I became so angry that I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
    He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
    I brought the list back to Dad. He refused to take it.” That’s just for you,” he said.
    “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
    Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice. 
    小题1:What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint? 
    A．He told her not to pay any attention to whatever”enemy”had said.
