     Lisa was running late. Lisa,25,had a lot to do at work,plus visitors on the way: her parents were
coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started
to feel uncomfortably warn. By the time she got to the platform,Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn't
been a good idea to give blood the night before,she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the
tracks.
     Several yards away,Frank,43,and his girlfriend,Jennifer,found a spot close to where the front of the
train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
     But when he heard the scream,followed by someone yelling,"Oh,my God,she fell in!" Frank didn't
hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. "No!
Not you! "his girlfriend screamed after him.
     She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa,he could feel the tracks shaking and
see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
     It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so
that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly
regained consciousness,felt herself being pulled along the ground,and saw someone else holding her purse.
     Lisa thought she'd been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the
blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn't,and that was when she realized how
much pain she was in.
     Police and fire officials soon arrived,and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend
was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown-just as he had been seconds after the rescue,which
made her think about her reaction at the time. "I saw the train coming and 1 was thinking he was going to
die,"she explained.

1. What was the most probable cause for Lisa's weakness?

A. She had run a long way.              
B. She felt hot in the subway.
C. She had done a 1ot of work.            
D. She had donated blood the night before.

2. Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?

A. Because they would miss their train.        
B. Because he didn't see the train coming.
C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.  
D. Because she was afraid the train would kill him.

3. How did Frank save Lisa?

A. By lifting her to the platform.          
B. By helping her rise to her feet.
C. By pulling her along the ground.        
D. By dragging her away from the edge.

4. When did Lisa become conscious again?

A. When the train was leaving.            
B. After she was back on the platform.
C. After the police and fire officials came.  
D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.

     Lisa, a middle-aged woman, went to prepare lunch, leaving her 3-year-old son, Barney, playing by himself in the backyard.

and found a big snake entwining(纠缠) the little child with its body and trying to swallow the boy. Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake's mouth.
     It was a fearless mother's love that made Lisa forget what she faced. She took up an old hatchet (斧头)from the ground and struck the snake with all her strength.
     One...two... With the hatchet, Lisa hit the snake again and again, but she felt as if she were striking a
mass of solid rubber. The little boy's voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisa's heart was
broken and she nearly went mad.
     Suddenly Lisa put aside the hatchet and threw herself on to the snake, opened her mouth and bit into its back, as if tearing a tough steak(牛排). Lisa was really mad.
     A small piece of flesh was bitten off. Lisa picked up the hatchet again and hit at the wound in the
snake's back madly and savagely.
     Stinking blood was spraying out of the snake's body. The snake was so badly wounded that it let go of Barney and moved back into the forest. It had never imagined that human beings had such terrible, sharp
teeth. Halfway home, the snake died.

阅读理解
     Lisa, a 25year old from Beijing, recently places a number of very unpleasant statements on the
Internet regarding the elderly.They include things like "don't  rely on others", "don't expect others to
help", "don't be talkative", and "dont't be so stubborn". The underlying message was that elderly
people should not take advantage of their old age to demand special favours from others, particularly
from the young.This of course flies_in_the_face_of the Chinese tradition of respecting the elderly.But,
in my opinion, Lisa's "requests" might not be totally unreasonable.Old people do sometimes behave
like they're "stubborn"and "talkative". Still, the young woman is rudely insensitive to why the elderly
behave that way.As people get old, they become increasingly weakened physically.So it's natural for
them to ask for more help from others.As their memories decline, they tend to be talkative because
they easily forget what has just been said.The American psychologists D. R.Atkinson and G. Hackett
said that the brain is characterized by flexibility.It has the ability (most pronounced up to the age of 12)
to change itself as a result of experience.But, as the brain ages, this flexibility decreases.As a result, the
elderly are often inflexible in their ways.
     Therefore, old people need real care and deserve to be taken care of.Many have devoted most of
their lives to the wellbeing of the family or social.Their aging is no reason for showing prejudice (偏见)to
them.  According to Chinese tradition, older people are to be respected.As are Westerners.
     I live in the US for eight years, and in Hong Kong for 13.Never have I seen or heard anyone who
would openly tell old people "to behave themselves".
    We may encourage old people to be more selfreliant.But rudely demanding that they do so is ageism.
That's where the difference lies.

1. What does Lisa think of the elderly?

A. The elderly hate to rely on the others.
B. The elderly should take advantage of their old age.
C. They are not talkative but stubborn.
D. The elderly always demand special favors from the young.

2. The underlined part in the first paragraph can be replaced by"________".

A. expresses the apparent meaning of
B. shows disagreement with
C. deals with the surface meaning of
D. draws a conclusion from

3. What's the writer's attitude towards this problem?

A. The young woman is too sensitive to why the elderly behave that way.
B. The elderly naturally ask for more help from others, because their brain is characterized by flexibility.
C. The elderly are often inflexible in their ways, which makes the young suffer.
D. The elderly deserve to be taken care of and we shouldn't show our prejudice because of their aging.

4. The last three paragraphs really want to show that________.

A. we should respect the elderly
B. the people in the US or Hong Kong respect the older people
C. old people should be encouraged to be more selfreliant
D. different ideas about the elderly are allowed to exist
