me to notice those whom others ignore.
The railroad tracks (轨道) were within a mile of our house.Beggars frequently would knock at the
doors in our neighbourhood in summer asking for food.They were often turned away.Others simply
ignored the knocks.
My mum always went to the door smiling.She would invite them to stay and have something to eat.She
would have me open up the card table and carry a chair out onto the covered side porch (走廊)．There
was a nice view into the flower gardens,and it was cool even on the hottest days.
She would bring a red and white tablecloth and set the table as carefully as she did for any company.
She would pour their coffee and pile their plates with food and dessert.Usually she sent a packed lunch
with them when they were ready to go,too.Sometimes she would take the newspapers to those who asked
about work.
She listened to those who wanted to talk.She never asked what would lead them to be in this difficult
situation.It did not matter.She saw only the need.Some thou
ght she should not extend this courtesy (礼貌)．She would say,"In the depression (萧条时期) when my father was searching around for any
work to feed us,thoughtful people fed him.I am just repaying their kindness.I cannot offer them money,but
I can see they do not leave hungry and discouraged." My mum was quite a lady.
B．his mother was known to be generous
C．they lived near a railway station
D．there was a railway near their house

Obama"s Dreams from My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US president.The
person I was talking to agreed with me that it was,in his words,"a wonderfully written book"．However,he
then proceeded to talk about Mr Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I
sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that he is not the only one.Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book B
which they ha
ven"t.In the World Book Day survey,Dreams from My Father is at number 9.The survey lists top ten books,and various authors,which people have lied about reading.As I"m not one to lie too
often,I"ll admit here and now that I haven"t read the entire ten books.But I am pleased to say that I have
read the book at number one,George Orwell"s 1984.I think it"s absolutely outstanding.
Asked why they lied,the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to.This
could be difficult if the conversation became more indepth!
The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it.It shows that many people
lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen,the Bronte sisters,Charles Dickens and so on.But
when asked which authors they actually enjoy,they named J．K.Rowling,Jilly Cooper,and Stephen King
(ah,the big sellers,in other words)．Fortyone percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of
the book to read the end before finishing the story.
So which books have you lied about reading-if any-and which is your favourite?
ke fun of the listenerB. impress the listener
C. please the listener
D. interest the listener
B. happened
C. continued
D. stopped
B. People don"t like Dreams from My Father and George Orwell "s 1984.
C. Few people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen.
D. People usually enjoy reading books by Charles Dickens.
B. Readers Are All Liars
C. World Book Day D. Dreams from My Father

| After decades of skimpy(小而暴露的)skirts and sleeveless tops on game days, some schools in the US are saying cheerleader uniforms will have to meet stricter dress codes when they are worn in class. In Lake County, Florida, cheerleaders with uniforms too skimpy for the code are being asked to wear long shorts or trousers under their skirts and a T-shirt under the sleeveless tops , according to a district memo. Principals at two of Lake"s eight high schools-Leesburg and Lake Minneola-are not allowing the outfits in school at all. Michelle Thomas, a cheerleader at Leesburg High School, was disappointed when she learned she couldn"t wear her outfit to school on game days. "It shows that we"re a team just like all the other sports." She said. But the school administrators didn"t agree. "During the educational portion of the day, they have to meet the dress code just like every other student," said school board chairwoman Debbie Stivender, who ordered the staff to bring the outfits into line with the dress code. Bare midriffs(露腰装) are banned across the state by the Florida High School Athletic Association, but no state rules mention cheerleader miniskirts. Sheila Noone, a spokeswoman for cheerleading uniform company Varsity Brands, says the outfits haven"t become more revealing over the last 10 years. She says that the short skirts are designed to help the girls jump and kick. "Cheerleading is athletic," Noone said. "There"s a lot of jumping so you won"t want a knee-length skirt that might hamper a toe touch." Most cheerleaders were sad to hear the news, but say they"ll follow the rules. Even male cheerleaders, whose pants and tops meet dress codes, chose not to wear their outfits to show unity. "I understand, because they are kind of short," said Holly Bishop,14, a Lake Minneola High School cheerleader, about her miniskirt. "It would"ve been really, really cool to wear them to school." 1. According to the new dress codes for cheerleaders in some American schools,_________. A. bare midriffs are banned B. cheerleading miniskirts are banned C. cheerleader uniforms have switched from skirts to trousers D. cheerleaders have to make their uniforms less revealing. 2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article? A. School administrators believe cheerleader uniforms do not match school dress codes. B. Most cheerleaders show understanding of the new dress codes. C. Sheila Noone believes that cheerleading miniskirts are not revealing. D. School administrators don"t take cheerleading seriously. 3.Some cheerleaders are not happy about the news because_______. A. they hate the dress codes that other sports have B. they consider their uniforms special and cool C. they want to wear revealing clothes D. they will have to buy new uniforms 4. What is the main point of the article? A. Stricter dress codes for cheerleaders meet opposition. B. Positive reactions to stricter dress codes for cheerleaders C. American schools encourage unity in dress codes. D. Changes in dress codes for cheerleaders in American high schools. 5. What does the underlined word "hamper" in paragraph 7 mean? A. protect B. miss C. prevent D. help | |||
