【題目】 It was a Friday morning. I felt too lazy to drive my car, so I called a taxi. The taxi arrived at my door at 6:00 a.m. and I got into it. I was so busy looking for something in my bag that I didn’t pay any attention to the driver. I just said, “Please go right now! I’m in a hurry!”

A voice replied, “Yes, madam!”

I was surprised when I heard a female voice. I stopped what I was doing for a second and looked at the driver. The driver was a young lady of about thirty. It was my first time seeing a young lady driving a taxi!

The car was running smoothly towards my destination. It was quite a distance from my home. The driver was driving perfectly well. I had travelled in taxi many times, but I had never seen a young lady driver! I was curious about the reason why she had chosen this job, so I started a conversation, “If you don’t mind, can I ask you some questions?”

“Yes, madam, no problem.”

“I guess you are well-educated.”

“Yes, madam, I have completed my education. I have done my MBA courses.”

“Oh, wow! Why did you choose this job then, instead of going for a business or financial career?”

I could see her face in the rear view mirror (后視鏡). She smiled and expressed her opinion. I was really amazed.

Very politely, she said, “I have been enthusiastic (感興趣的) about driving since I was a child. I have fulfilled my childhood dream. I do respect each and every job. I don’t mind whether a job is good or bad in other people’s eyes. I want a job where I can get satisfaction. I received offers from big companies but I preferred this one because I like it. Although I can’t earn much money from this job, I love driving! That’s it!”

【題目】 It is reported that some developed countries have shipped(運(yùn)往)broken parts of computers to China. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers,TVs and phones sent from Japan.

Things like these are called electronic waste,or ewaste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down,it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse,at present,broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.

Many places in China are polluted by ewaste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the ewaste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of ewaste each year,from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost.

Many of the poisons in ewaste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air,the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.

Luckily,the Chinese government wants to change the situation. This year,China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully,the problem with ewaste will be solved in the near future.

【1】The ewaste found in Hong Kong last month was from ________.

A.FranceB.Japan

C.GermanyD.Australia

【題目】 閱讀表達(dá)

“Fire! Fire!” Students were running out of their classroom. They used some wet clothes to cover their mouths and noses. Was there a fire? No, it was just a fire drill(演習(xí)). On November 26th 2018, students of a middle school in Changsha learned some safety skills when a fire broke out.

What can we do to make our houses safer? Here are some suggestions. When you get your phone or computer charged (充電) .don’t put your phone or computer chargers (充電器) on your books or bed. And you should not charge for too long. Don’t use candles in your bedroom. Check to see if you have broken wires(電線) in your house, and change them at once. Always remember to turn off the lights when you leave your house.

What should we do if we are caught in a burning building? If the fire is big, stay low and get out quickly. Use wet clothes to cover your mouth and nose. Always use stairs and don’t use elevators(電梯), because elevators may break down anytime. If the room is full of smoke, keep close to the floor where the air is cleaner and cooler. Once help arrives, wave the flashlight or cloth at the window to let the firefighters know where you are.

It is very important for schools to train the students to get to know about some safety skills when a fire breaks out or when an earthquake happens, because no one knows what accident will happen next minute. If the schools are able to do more drills like this, fewer deaths and injuries will happen in our life.

【1】When did the students of a middle school in Changsha have a fire drill?

【2】Is it safe to use candles in our bedroom?

【題目】Kindness goes a long way

When I was in college, a white cat liked to show up on our campus now and then. It was clear that he was a stray (流浪的) cat because he looked thin . Students would play with him after class and feed him all kinds of food. The school didn’t say anything about the cat for a long time.

But one day, we were told that one of our fellow students had an infectious (傳染性的) disease and that the cat was possibly the source（來源）. After that, we were not allowed to touch any stray animals on campus. The school started to make efforts to keep animals off campus as well.

Since we were not allowed to feed the white cat, it was hard for him to find food on the street. He became all skin and bones. Though the rest of us couldn’t take care of the cat, a security guard at our school decided to take on the responsibility of caring for him. He took the cat to a vet for a health check. He also ________ and ________, as well as a small bed for him to sleep in. He made sure the cat was healthy and comfortable.

It might seem like a small effort to some people. But this man risked his job – his only source of income － just to feed a tiny cat who no one else cared for. It was a very heartwarming thing to see.

【1】Did the white stray cat like to show up on the writer’s campus?

______________________________________________________.

【2】Why were the students not allowed to touch any stray animals?

【3】How did the white cat look since it was hard for him to find food?
