     Well, this isn"t just a problem for you. It was a problem for Wilson Bentley, too.
     In the 1870s, Wilson Bentley was just a teenager. His family lived in a small town in northeast America.
Winters there were long and hard. Bentley"s mother was once a school teacher. She taught him at home.
Bentley didn"t go to school until he was 14. He was a quiet boy, and loved reading his mother"s books.
     But it was his mother"s microscope (显微镜) that interested him. When the other boys were playing
with balls, little Bentley was studying things like drops of water, flowers and snowflakes. Bentley loved
watching snowflakes. For the next two years young Bentley spent many winter days in a cold room
watching these ice crystals (晶体) under his microscope.
    The boy thought they were so beautiful that he started to draw pictures of them. But there were so many
snowflakes that he couldn"t draw them all.
     How could he keep their beauty forever? Bentley thought of buying a camera.
     The boy and his mother asked his father to buy one. But, his father didn"t agree. He thought the whole
thing was a bad idea. He thought the only thing a farmer should do was farming.
     But finally Bentley did get a camera. For more than a year he tried to take pictures of snowflakes. On
January 15, 1885, during a snowstorm, Bentley took the first ever photo of an ice crystal with his camera.
"It was the greatest moment of my life," Bentley said later.
     For 13 years, Bentley worked quietly and took thousands of photos of ice crystals. Later he became
known as "Snowflake" Bentley. 1. The best title for this passage is ____. [     ]

C. Long and Hard Winters

     Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from
mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her
window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
     After several months had gone by, I begin to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear
through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn"t wash her window.
It really looks terrible."
     One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.
     Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for
a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window
was clean!
     Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching
hers through my own dirty window.
     That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the
dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?
     Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him
through my own dirty window?"
     Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.
1. The writer couldn"t see everything clearly through the window because ______.
[     ]
A. the woman"s window was dirty
B. the writer"s window was dirty
C. the woman lived nearby
D. the writer was near-sighted
2. The writer was surprised that ______.
[     ]
A. the woman was sitting by her window
B. the woman"s window was clean
C. the woman did cleaning in the afternoon
D. the woman"s window was still terrible
3. "It dawned on me" probable means "______".
[     ]
A. I began to understand it
B. it cheered me up
C. I knew it grew light
D. it began to get dark
4. It"s clear that ______.
[     ]
A. the writer had never met the woman before
B. the writer often washed the window
C. they both worked as cleaners
D. they lived in a small town
5. From the passage, we can learn ______.
[     ]
A. one shouldn"t criticize others very often
B. one should often make his window clean
C. One must judge himself before he judges others
D. one must book at others through his dirty window.
