It was 3:12 a.m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the crackling of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island.
With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn.
The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room. He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and, as a fireman said later, "acted with all the self-control of a trained adult."
On the bedroom telephone, luckily still wording, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor？
Grasping firmly a ball of string from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother's room. Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan: "The string will lead you to mother." Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
Why did Glenn run downstairs first？
A．He wanted to find out what was happening.
B．He was worded about his mother's safety.
C．He wanted to save his sister and brother.
D．He went to see if his father had come back from work.

Throughout human history there have been many stringent taboos concerning watching other people eat or eating in the presence of others. There have been attempts to explain these taboos in terms of inappropriate social relationships either between those who axe involved and those who are not simultaneously involved in the satisfaction of a bodily need, or between those already satiated and those who appear to be shamelessly gorging. Undoubtedly such elements exist in the taboos, but there is an additional element with a much more fundamental importance. In prehistoric times, when food was so precious and the on-lookers so hungry, not to offer half of the little food one had was unthinkable, since every glance was a plea for life. Further, during those times, people existed in nuclear or extended family groups, and the sharing of food was quite literally supporting one' s family or, by extension, preserving one' s self.
If the argument in the passage is valid, taboos against eating in-the presence of others who are NOT also eating would be LEAST likely in a society that ______.
A．always had a plentiful supply of food
B．emphasized the need to share worldly goods
C．emphasized the value of privacy
D．discouraged overindulgence

In the 1920s and the 1930s,the short story, as a form, was difficult to sell. Readers found it an awkward compromise between a poem and a longer novel. The long-short story or novella was scarcely known. Certain comic geniuses like P. G. Wodehouse found it easy to reach and keep a vast public with short stories, either alone or in series. And of course there was W. Somerset Maugham. But the less accomplished writers found the market dwindling even further.
Since 1945, the entire literary picture has changed. Fiction of ail kinds, but above all the short story, has become more and more uneconomic to publish. Many magazines have gone out of business. As a type, the "man of letters", puffing a pipe, has almost vanished, to be replaced by the university lecturer or the television scriptwriter. The public is not attracted by imaginary plots in books but prefers the actual, the real story of real people. For those who do not read at all, television provides an enticing alternative.
Such a decline is in many ways a sad one because the old-time short story had a human quality about it which is now eroded. Yet, in an odd way, in our chaotic electronic age, the short story still has a prospect of living. It has been discovered by film scriptwriters that the form. of the short story provides a useful structure for television; it readily provides the basis for a one-hour programme.
The best title for this passage is ______.
A．The Short Story and Television
B．The Short Story and the Public
C．The Short Story: Past and Present
D．The Short Story: Form. and Content

Many people with ordinary jobs may dream of long holidays in foreign countries, but they know they couldn’t afford them even if they could get enough time off from the company.However, there are a few businesses which have started schemes to reward employees with long service by giving them a chance to fulfill such ambitions by providing both the time and the money.
One company gives every employee over 50 years old and who has been with them for 25 years, six months’ holiday on full pay.At the same time additional money can be made available by way of loans, to help them with projects they cannot otherwise offer.Most of the people who have already benefited from the scheme, have used the opportunity to travel to distant places like the Far East or South America and some have spent the money on their favorite hobbies, such as photography.
The cost of providing these special holidays is fairly high but the directors feel it is well worthwhile because the employees are greatly refreshed by their long break from the pressures and routines of their jobs.The only problems are that the people concerned tend to have key jobs which can be difficult to fill on a temporary basis for a relatively long time.Besides, some employees find it difficult to re-adjust to the old routine after such a long time away.In addition, one or two people may not feel secure at leaving their job in someone else’s hands.On balance, however, there is no doubt that the idea is beneficial to industrial relations and a wonderful reward for long service.
31.Many workers would like to ___________.
A.dream of long holidays at home
B.spend a long time in unusual places
C.buy a holiday away from home
D.have a long holiday after many years
32.One company____________.
A.gives money to employees over 25 years
B.lends staff money to go on holidays
C.allows long holidays to certain staff

D.enjoy leisure activities
34.The directors feel that _____________.
A.the staff get a lot of pleasures from the scheme

The poor little girl was tired and hungry in the forest. She walked through the forest, hoping to find something to eat because she didn’t want to die. Then she found a little house and thought it must be a woodman’s house and she might be able to stay there. So she knocked at the door. As there was no answer, she opened it and went inside. There she saw a room with a long table. On it there were seven knives and forks, seven plates and drinking cups, and on the plates and in the cups were food and drink. The little girl was too hungry to turn away from the food, and so she took a little from each plate and each cup. At the other end of the room, there were seven little beds.
