6．Fatu Kekula is a hero．The 22-year-old Liberian nursing student，in her final year，managed to save the members of her immediate family from the Ebola virus，all without the help and convenience of a hospital．
Kekula reduced the rate to 25percent．Four of her family members were infected with the virus．Her father，Moses，her mother，Victoria，her sister，Vivian and her 14-year-old cousin，Alfred Winnie．Sadly，Kekula's cousin succumbed to the virus．It's also impressive to note that while Kekula was treating her family members she managed to avoid Ebola entirely．
On July 27，Kekula's father，Moses，went to a hospital in Kanata，after his blood pressure rose sharply．The only reason the hospital had a bed to offer him was because someone had just died．But the staff in the hospital didn't realize the patient died from an Ebola infection．Shortly，after he was admitted to the hospital，Moses developed a fever，started vomiting and was suffering from diarrhea．Once nurses started dying of Ebola，the hospital shut down and Moses had to leave．Kekula drove 90minutes to Monrovia，the capital of Liberia，to seek treatment．Three hospitals turned them away because there is no spare bed for patients at all．
Kekula made the drive back to Kanata to another hospital．They told Moses he had typhoid fever and did very little to treat him．So Kekula took him home．Once he was there，he infected three other family members．Her mother，sister and their cousin who was living with them．
Kekula only lost one patient，her cousin．Her method proved so effective that international aid workers，including UNICEF，began teaching it to others in West Africa who may not be able to get to hospitals for treatment．
Her father，mother and sister were already recovering when space became available at the JFK Medical Center on August 17．Alfred passed away at the hospital the next day．Kekula's father，Moses said，"I'm very，very proud．She saved my life through the almighty God．"
25．What is the best title for the passage？B
A．A courageous and selfless nurse．
B．Give her a medal：Woman saves family members from Ebola．
C．A family survived Ebola with the help of government．
D．The dreadful disease Ebola．

A．was affected with       
B．survived       
C．died of         
D．fight against
27．Why Kekula took her father home？B
A．Because a patient died from an Ebola infection in the hospital in Kanata．
B．Because they were turned down by hospitals and little can be done to her father．
C．Because Moses were already recovering when he was admitted to the JFK Medical Center．
D．Because nurses started dying of Ebola and many hospitals were shut down．

Everybody is happy as his pay rises．Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one．Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross．Such behavior is regarded as "all too human", with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness．But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well．

The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys．They look smart． They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily．Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of "goods and services" than males．

Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnan's study．The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens （獎券） for food．Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber．However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different．

In the world of monkeys, grapes are excellent goods （and much preferable to cucumbers）．So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber．And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber．Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room （without an actual monkey to eat it） was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey．

The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses．In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living．Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated．Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone．Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group．However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question．

1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world．

B. Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated．

C. In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other．

D. Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes; for grapes are more attractive．

2.Female monkeys of this kind are chosen for the research most probably because they are __ _．

A. more likely to weigh what they get

B. attentive to researchers’ instructions

C. nice in both appearance and behaviors

D. more ready to help others than their male companions

3.Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Human beings' feelings of anger are developed from the monkeys．

B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others．

C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated．

D. Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness dating back to 35 million years ago．

4.What can we infer about the monkeys in Sarah's study?

A. The monkeys can be trained to develop social senses．

B. They usually show their feelings openly as humans do．

C. The monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatment．

D. Co-operation among the monkeys remains effective in the wild．

16．I'm lying on my back in my grandfather's orchard （果園），looking up at the branches above me．It is one of the last days of summer．Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler．Some kinds of apples are already ripe（成熟的）．Others will be ready to pick soon．I think of my grandmother's apple pie，and how I used to make it with her．She died last year，before the apple harvest，and I have not had her pie ever since．I really miss her．I hear bees busily humming about，visiting the late summer flowers．The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep．
The sky is as blue as my grandfather's eyes．Above me，big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind．School starts in another week，and time seems to have slowed down．
"Sophie!"calls my grandfather．"Is that you？"I stand up，take his hand，and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard．We talk about apples，and bees，and Grandma．He tells me that he misses her too．
He puts his rough，brown farmer's hand around my shoulder and pulls me close．"You know，Sophie，"he says，"I spent the morning in the attic（閣樓），and you'll never guess what I found．It's the recipe（烹飪法） for Grandma's apple pie．I used to help her make it sometimes．I can't do it all alone，but you used to help her too．Maybe between the two of us，we can work it out．Want to try？"
"But it won't be the same without Grandma，"I tell him．
"That's true，"he says，"but nothing is the same without Grandma．Still，I don't think that she would want us never to have another apple pie．What do you say？"I nod yes，and we walk towards home…towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen，making Grandma's famous apple pie．
