In our junior year, we found that we didn't   39  a single class. This was not a problem, though. We just talked a little more in the hallway   40  passing periods. That year seemed to fly by.

Chilean rescued miner Edison Pena ran the New York City Marathon on November 7th , less than a month after he was rescued from a collapsed (坍塌的) mine that trapped him and the other 32 miners for 69 days. Pena ran 10 km daily through the mine’s tunnels (巷道) to beat the anxiety, wearing cut-down boots until rescuers sent him a pair of sports shoes through a narrow hole that served as the miners’ “l(fā)ifeline” to the surface.
“When I ran in the darkness, I was running for life,” Pena told a news conference in New York. “I was running to show that I wasn’t just waiting around. I also wanted God to see that I really wanted to live.” The miners were discovered alive on August 22---17 days after the mine collapsed, but it took many more days for rescuers to dig a hole big enough to bring them out.
The New York Road Runners, which organizes the marathon, had invited Edison Pena to the event after hearing his story. They thought he could ride in the lead vehicle or hold the finish line tape, but Pena said last week he did not want to watch, he wanted to run. “I was very eager to take on this big challenge,” he said. “I wanted to show the world I could run.” He hoped to run the 26.2-mile race in about six hours. “I have a knee injury, but I am eager to cross the finish line,” he said.    
An Elvis Presley fan who asked rescuers to send the singer’s music down into the mine, Pena broke into song at the news conference with the Presley hit Return to Sender.
On the morning of November 7th, Pena, known as “the runner” by fellow miners trapped with him, set out to cover the course along with thousands of other runners and completed the race in five hours and 40 minutes.
【小題1】When trapped underground, Pena ran a long way every day to _______.

A．find a way to get outB．dig a lifeline to the ground
C．keep himself from coldnessD．get rid of his uneasy feelings
【小題2】 According to the passage, Pena _______.
A．was not expected to run the marathon at first
B．failed to achieve the goal he had set for the marathon
C．wore sports shoes while working underground
D．was asked to sing a Presley’s song at a news conference
【小題3】 During the rescue of the Chilean trapped miners, the digging of the escape hole lasted about _________.
A．17 daysB．22 daysC．52 daysD．69 days
【小題4】Pena can be best described as _________.[來(lái)源:學(xué)&科&網(wǎng)Z&X&X&K]

As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But Venezuela, whose beauty queens have won Miss Universe and Miss World over six times, doesn’t leave it to chance. In Venezuela, girls as young as four can be found attending beauty schools, where they can learn a range of skills from how to walk to the correct way to hold a wine glass.

“Hair must always be completely clean, make-up should look natural, and you should always, always wear high-heels,” advises Andrea Reyes, a teacher in a school of Caracas with 160 students.

Beauty contests are treated in Venezuela much as sporting competitions are elsewhere. Many Venezuelan parents believe that if their daughters can succeed and get the beauty crown, their future as famous and public persons is sure to come. As a result, the girls are trained to compete at a young age.

Among former beauty queens are Irene Saez, who went on to compete for the country’s president, and Eva Ekvall, whose battle with cancer helped to make more people know about the illness in Venezuela.

However, voices against the trend can be heard all over the country. At one time, a feminist (男女平等主義者) group tried to stop the Miss Venezuela broadcast. President Hugo Chavez has spoken out against the culture of plastic surgery(整形手術(shù))in Venezuela, calling it a “frightening thing”.

The BBC reporter Sarah Grainger says that acceptance of the contests is partly a result of the country’s “machista” (大男子主義的) view of the different roles that men and women should play, “Men are supposed to be strong and brave and women to be gentle and beautiful”.

Miss Universe 1996, Alicia Machado, knows the price to be paid when you’re no longer seen as attractive. After winning the beauty contest, she said all she wanted to do was “eat, eat and eat”. Her weight gain later and warning by the organizers of the contest to replace her as queen with the runner-up was among the hottest topics in the country, especially in Latin America.

1.What’s the advice given by a teacher in Caracas to her students?

A. Attending beauty schools as early as possible.

B. Wearing high-heels at times.

C. Washing your hair quite often.

D. Fighting against cancer bravely.

2.Girls try to win in the beauty contest to__________.

A. try plastic surgery     

B. practice the country’s “machista” view

C. earn a good future   

D. eat as much as one pleases

3.We can learn from the passage that__________.

A. Venezuela girls have won Miss Universe and Miss World over six times by chance

B. In Venezuela, people judge men and women in quite different ways

C. Eva Ekvall once competed for the country’s president

D. Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez has spoken out against beauty contests

4.What does the underlined word “runner-up” in the last paragraph mean?

A. the news reporter covering the beauty contest

B. the organizer of the beauty contest

C. the girl who is slim

D. the person who comes in the second place
