Mike found a job in a bookstore after he finished middle school. He wouldn’t do anything but wanted to get rich. It was a cold morning. It snowed and there was thin ice on the streets. Few people went to buy books and the young man had nothing to do. He hated to read, so he watched the traffic. Suddenly he saw a bag fall off a truck and it landed by the other side of the street. “It is full of expensive things.” Mike said to himself. “I have to get it right now, or others will take it away.” He went out of the bookstore and ran across the street. A driver saw him and began to whistle (鳴笛), but he didn’t hear it and went on running. The man drove to the side, hit a big tree and hurt himself in the accident. Two weeks later, Mike was taken to the court (法庭). A judge asked if he heard the whistle when he was running across the street. He said that something was wrong with his ears and he could hear nothing.“But you heard me this time,” said the judge.“Oh, I’m sorry. Now I can hear with one ear.”“Cover (蓋住) the ear with your hand and listen to me with your deaf (聾的) one. Well, can you hear me?”“No, I can’t , sir.”“You told a lie. There is nothing wrong with either of your ears,” the judge said.

“Beauty is only skin deep.” This expression means that beauty is only a temporary and surface（暫時而表面的） quality. And some beauty products can cause lasting harm that goes far below the surface of the skin. But people, especially women, will take a lot of risks for beauty.

In the United States, many people use sunlight and non-natural light to darken their skin. Health experts are against it, because it may lead to skin cancer.

In the African country of Senegal, some women take health risks trying to do just the opposite. They use products that lighten the skin. The World Health Organization says that 25 percent of Senegalese women use skin-lightening products. These products can have some chemicals such as mercury, hydroquinone and sodium hydroxide (汞、對苯二酚和氫氧化鈉). These are dangerous ingredients (成份) that can cause cancer and possibly other physical harm to the skin. They can even burn the eyes and skin.

Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reasons: women all over the world make changes to their looks. They say they want to look beautiful, to find a husband, or to stand out in a crowd. But some products are so strong. THEY must be mixed with others before they are used.

A woman filmmaker Khardiata Sall from Senegal made a movie “This Color That Worries Me”. It’s about the subject of skin lightening. “I used the most scary pictures so that women would clearly see the dangers. It is hard to understand why a woman would tell herself that dark skin is not beautiful. It is in their heads. They want to please a man, to be loved. Or they want to please the society, to succeed.” Ms. Sall says the government needs to better control the market and the sale of skin lightening products. But she adds education is the best way to tell people against using them.

1.According to the passage, Khardiata Sall ___________.

A. is a white woman B. works as an actor

C. is against skin-lightening D. wants to be white

2.The word “THEY” in the fourth paragraph means____________.

A. mercury, hydroquinone and sodium hydroxide B. women in Senegal

C. all skin-lightening products D. some strong skin-lightening products

3.According to the passage, if you are a women in Senegal, you may go out of your way to change your skin color because ___________.

A. you want to please your parents B. you want to make changes to your hobbies

C. you want to look better than men D. you want to find a good job

4.If you put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

( ①=Para. (自然段)1 ②=Para. 2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 )

A. ①;②;③④⑤ B. ①;②③;④⑤ C. ①②;③;④⑤ D. ①②③;④;⑤

“Please take my penny,” said Maggie to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets.

Her brother Andrew drew her back, whispering, “Maggie, he is not a beggar (乞丐)!”

But Maggie paid no attention. “Please take it,” she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little miss,” he said, “It is kindly meant.”

After that, Maggie went to the beach to gather shells. She never thought how fast the hours were passing until being tired. She sat down on a rock. Soon she was scared because the sea water was going up. She wanted to go home, but she found the places she had gone down easily very difficult to climb up. The stones were wet and smooth. What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried.

Luckily, Dan’s large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! Rover raised his loud bark. The fisherman had taken his nets to the top of the cliffs (懸崖), and was laying them out in the sun when he heard the loud barking of a dog. He felt sure that it was Rover, and Rover was in trouble, so he looked over. There he saw it all.

“Bless her! It is the little one that was so kind-spoken to me this morning!” he cried, and he hurried to his sons’ rooms.

“Quick, boys, quick!” he said. “Get to the boat, and row fast to the sea. There is a poor child there just waiting to be helped.” The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land! Old Dan was waiting there to lift her out to give her into her mother’s arms.

“It was the penny that did it, madam,” he said to Mrs. Weston later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny. And I am thinking he had been looking after her all the day.”

Some years later, Rover came to Maggie’s home with a little note, in which was written—“Will Maggie help Rover?—his master is dead.”

1.Who rowed Maggie to land safely?

A. Rover. B. Old Dan. C. Old Dan’s sons. D. Andrew.

2.What we can guess from the end of the story?

A. Maggie refused to be Rover’s new master.

B. Rover felt sad about Mrs. Western’s death.

C. Rover lived with Old Dan until his master died.

D. Maggie became Rover’s master at once after she was saved.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. One kind act brings another.

B. You should act and speak the same kindly.

C. One person’s pleasure may be another’s pain.

D. People often forget what is really important in our lives.

4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
