One morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（传单）, and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.
Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
“If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.

It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.
Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.
That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.
We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.
Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.
小题1:In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner? 小题2:What does the underlined word”It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? | A．The heat | | B．The theater. | | C．The Music Man | | D．The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance |
小题3:What do we know about Mr. Bellow? | A．He loved children very much. | | B．He was a fan of John Wayne. | | C．He sold air conditioners. | | D．He was a movie star. |
小题4:Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times? | A．The two movies were really wonderful. | | B．They wanted to avoid the heat outside. | | C．The manager of the theater was friendly. | | D．They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater. |
小题5:What can we learn from the last paragraph? | A．The author turned out to be a great singer. | | B．The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962. | | C．The author’s life has been changed by the two movies. | | D．The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable. |

Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves. At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett.”
For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley’s wife tried to strike Mumbet’s sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.
While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom---- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.
Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.
Mumbet’s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.”

小题2:Why did Mumbet run away from the Ashleys? | A．She found an employer | | B．She wanted to be a lawyer | | C．She was hit and got angry | | D．She had to take care of her sister |
小题3:What did Mumbet learn from discussions about the new consititution? | A．She should always obey her owners’ orders | | B．She should be as free and equal as whites | | C．How to be a good servant | | D．How to apply for a job |
小题4:What did Mumbet do after the trial? | A．She chose to work for a lawyer | | B．She found the NAACP | | C．She continued to serve the Ashleys | | D．She went to live with her grandchildren |
小题5:What is the test mainly about? | A．A story of a famous writer and spokesperson | | B．The friendship between a lawyer and a slave | | C．The life of a brave African American woman | | D．A trial that shocked the whole world |
