When Josephine Cooper was growing up,she learned the importance of charity from her parents.Although they made a modest living for their family of 10,they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate.

Half a century later,Mrs Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank,where she devoted herself to helping others.She organized and ran a distribution center from a church,helping it become the organization’s largest emergency food distribution center in San Diego.She was one of 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited to Washington D.C.to receive the award.

“She was the main person who helped us make that program grow,” said Mike Doody,former director of the Food Bank.“She had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard.She was determined and stubborn,but in a good way.She had a good heart.” People knew her as “Grandma” because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families.“She reminded people of their Grandma.” Doody said.

As a widow with a young child in 1979,Mrs.Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the Food Bank provided her with groceries.“She dedicated her life to giving back,” said her daughter,Monica Cooper.It wasn’t unusual for a local church to call Mrs Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family.“She would give people food out of her cupboard.Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their car,” Cooper said.

Although Mrs Cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work,she said being able to help others was her reward.She died of liver disease and kidney failure,aged 93.

A month went by in this manner, but a month was all I could bear.

The memory of Marguerite accompanied me wherever I went. I had loved that woman — still loved her — too much for her suddenly to mean nothing to me. Whatever feelings I might have for her now, I had to see her again. At once.

I knew Marguerite. Meeting me so unexpectedly must have thrown her into a state of great confusion. Probably, she had heard of my departure which had set her mind at rest as to the consequences of our sudden parting. But, seeing me back and coming face to face with me, weak as I was, she had sensed that my return had a purpose, and must have wondered what was going to happen.

If, when I saw her again, Marguerite had been unhappy; if, in taking my revenge (復(fù)仇), there had also been some way of helping her then I might well have forgiven her, and would certainly never have dreamed of doing her any harm. But when I saw her again, she was happy, at least on the surface. Another man had ensured her the wealthy life in which I had been unable to keep her. She brought shame both to my pride and my love; she was going to have to pay for what I had suffered.

I could not remain cold to what she did now. It followed that the thing that would hurt her most would be exactly for me to show coldness. Coldness, therefore, was the feeling which I now needed to pretend, not only in her presence but in the eyes of others.

I tried to put a smile on my face, and I went to call on Prudence with whom Marguerite was

staying.

Prudence saw me to the door, and I returned to my apartment with tears of anger in my eyes and thirst for revenge in my heart and thought only of finding a way to make the poor creature suffer.

1. This passage is most probably ______ of a love story.

A. the beginning B. a chapter

C. a summary D. the introduction

2.According to the passage, the hero wanted to ______.

A. give Marguerite sufferings because his pride and his love were hurt

B. stop the relationship with Marguerite because he couldn’t afford a rich life

C. make up the relationship with Marguerite because he still loved her

D. forgive Marguerite because he found her unhappy

3.What kind of feelings did the hero most probably have?

A. Coldness and love. B. Coldness and hate.

C. Love and hate. D. Hate and sadness.

4. What would the author most probably write about next?

A. Why he changed his mind suddenly.

B. How he made Marguerite suffer.

C. How he made up his relationship with Marguerite.

D. Why he wanted Marguerite to pay for what he had suffered.

Cambridge graduates are the most employable in the world,according to a global league table.The ancient university is the best at producing graduates who are‘ready to work’,a poll of major employers found.

Oxford slipped to fourth place in the rankings having taken top spot last year.Harvard and Yale—part of the US‘Ivy League’of universities—were second and third respectively.

Five British universities were ranked in the top 20—one more than last year—and 12 were in the full list of 150.

But the UK as a country came third—behind the US and Germany—when companies were asked to name the best nation for producing work—ready graduates.

The table—the Global Employability(就業(yè)能力)University Ranking published by the International New York Times—also showed that universities in Asian countries were rapidly gaining ground on their western counterparts (對手).

Asian universities claimed 20 percent of the top 150 places in 2014 compared with only 10 percent when the tables were first published in 2010.

The other British universities in the top 20 were University College London,in 14th place,Imperial College London,in 15th,and Edinburgh,18th.

The table showed the gap between a small number of top UK universities and less famous institutions.

Laurent Dupasquier,managing partner at Emerging,a French human resources consultancy,said:“The top tier players.global brands (which tend to be all American and British).continue to lead,while other Anglo—Saxon universities,those that are mainly regional players,tend to develop less well,with an average of five places lost in comparison with last year.”

“Like the Premier League(英超聯(lián)賽),the champions have an international community of students and think internationally,unlike their more locally oriented counterparts.”

The table was made following a survey of 2,500 major companies in 20 countries.Employers were asked to rank universities against a range of criteria including their production of graduates who are ready to work and their links with business.

The study claimed that‘the days of ivory towers are over’.

1.Which university had the best work-ready graduates last year?

A.Cambridge. B.Oxford. C.Harvard. D.Yale.

2.The underlined phrase“gaining ground”in Paragraph 5 probably refers to ____________.

A.falling behind

B.coming into conflict

C.making room

D.becoming more successful

3.What can we learn about the UK universities from the text?

A.There are many quality gaps between UK universities.

B.The UK produced the most work-ready graduates this year.

C.Universities in the UK make up most of the top 20.

D.Almost all UK university graduates are employable.

4.Why do regional UK universities tend to develop less well this year?

Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He stopped by the fence in front of the house where he lived with his aunt Polly. He looked at it, and all joy left him. The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down.

He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day. They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire.

He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned. Perhaps he could find something to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pockets. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea.

At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash.

While Tom was working, Ben Rogers appeared. Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street. When he came close to Tom, he stopped.

Tom went on whitewashing. He did not look at Ben. Ben stared a moment and then said: “Hello! I’m going swimming, but you can’t go, can you?”

No answer. Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist. Ben came nearer. Tom’s mouth watered for the apple, but he kept on working.

Ben said, “Hello, old fellow, you’ve got to work, hey?”

Tom turned suddenly and said, “Why, it’s you, Ben! I wasn’t noticing.”

“I’m going swimming. Don’t you wish you could? But of course you’d rather work. You seem to like it very much.”

“Like it? Well, I don’t see why I shouldn’t like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?”

Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom moved his brush back and forth, stepped back to look at the result, added a touch here and there, and stepped back again. Ben watched every move and got more and more interested. Soon he said,

“Tom, let me whitewash a little.”

Tom thought for a moment, was about to agree; but he changed his mind.

“No, no, it won’t do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. It has got to be done very carefully. I don’t think there is one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it well enough.”

“No — is that so? Oh come, let me just try. Only just a little.”

“Ben, I’d like to, but if it isn’t done right, I’m afraid Aunt Polly ...”

“Oh, I’ll be careful. Now let me try. I’ll give you half of my apple.”

“Well, here — No, Ben, now don’t. I’m afraid ...”

“I’ll give you all of it.”

Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but joy in his heart. And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun, Tom sat under a tree, eating the apple, and planning how to get more help. There were enough boys. Each one came to laugh, but remained to whitewash. And when the middle of the afternoon came, Tom had won many treasures. The fence had been whitewashed three times. If he hadn’t run out of whitewash, Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends.

He had discovered a great law of human action that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get.

1.Why did Tom take all his bits of toys out of his pockets?

A. Because he was tired and wanted to play with his toys.

B. Because he wanted to exchange his toys with his friends.

C. Because he wanted to give his toys to his friends.

D. Because he wanted to know if he could buy help with his toys.

2. Tom was about to agree to let Ben whitewash when he changed his mind because ______.

A. Tom wanted to do the whitewashing himself

B. Tom planned to make Ben give up his apple first

C. Tom was unwilling to let Ben do the whitewashing

D. Tom was afraid Ben couldn’t do the whitewashing well.

3.We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. Tom was fond of whitewashing the fence

B. Tom had a lot of friends who were ready to help him

C. Tom managed to let other boys do the whitewashing for him

D. Tom was better at whitewashing the fence than others

4.Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?

A. The Happy Whitewasher

B. Tom And His Fellows

C. Whitewashing A Fence

D. How To Make Things Difficult To Get
