An old man went to live with his son, his daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was very poor, and he couldn’t walk steadily(平穩(wěn)地). The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Rice often dropped on the floor.

The son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man, so they put a small table in the corner. There, the grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.

The four-year-old son watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” The boy answered, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The words struck the parents so that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks（臉頰）. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table.

1.Why was the old man’s food served in a wooden bowl?

A. Because the wooden bowl was light enough.

B. Because the old man had broken a few bowls.

C. Because there was only a wooden bowl left.

D. Because the son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man.

2.The word “struck” in Paragraph 3 refers to _______.

A. annoyed B. worried C. scared D. shocked

3.Why did the husband lead the old man back to the family table?

A. Because he realized his mistakes.

B. Because the old man didn’t drop rice on the floor any more.

C. Because the old man was served in a wooden bowl.

D. Because a gentleman led him back to the family table.

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. An old man and his son. B. A couple and their son.

C. A wooden bowl. D. A dinner table.

On Sunday 23 April, more than 30, 000 people joined in the 2017 London Marathon, running 26.2 miles around the city center.

The London Marathon has taken place every year since 1981. At the first one, just 6, 225 people completed the course, and since then it has grown into one of the most important sporting events in the world. Each winner receives $500, 000 in prize money.

However, most marathon runners are not professional(專業(yè)的).They run to raise money for charities or just as a personal experience. Many people do fun things to make themselves stand out, like wear silly clothes or do things instead of just running.

For example, Tom Harrison took three days just to reach the halfway point, as he was crawling on his hands and knees dressed as a gorilla(猩猩), trying to raise money and attention for ‘The Gorilla Organization’.

One exciting part from this year’s race was the story of Jackie and her husband, who got married on the morning of the marathon. Then they both ran the race, with Jackie doing it in her wedding dress! They were running to raise money for cancer charities, as Jackie was diagnosed(診斷)with cancer three years ago.

Matthew Rees was another runner to inspire(激勵)people, as he stopped just before the finish line to help another runner run the last 200m.They did not know each other before, but Matthew saw that David was too tired to finish the race and wanted to help him finish.

Every year there are lots of inspiring stories like this from the London Marathon, and it is a huge achievement even to run the 26.2 miles !
