Before World War II,all bank tellers(出納)were men. But as men went to war during the early 1940s, banks trained women to take their place. I was among 20 women selected by Bank of America to work as a teller at a small branch in Los Angeles.

November 23,1942 was a day I'll never forget when I was 22 years old and just two months on the job. When a well-dressed man in a suit, tie and hat came to my window. I greeted him with a friendly “Good afternoon.” But he shouted,“This is it!”

'The man placed a brown bag on the counter and said; "Fill it up.”Because of 'the way he was dressed, it didn't dawn on me that this was a hold-up(持槍搶劫). I was sure it must be a test of the new tellers' ability to follow bank rules. Eager to pass such a test, I coolly opened the bag, and then calmly filled it with marked bills.

“None of these!” the man shouted, insisting that I fill the bag with cash from another teller’s drawer. Well, that was a big no-no from training: You never touch another teller's cash! I firmly told him it was against bank rules. You can imagine the disbelief on the robber' s face. Other tellers later told me they couldn't believe I refused the robber's demands.

When the man told me to stand in front of the other staff along the wall, threatening to shoot me if anyone moved, I finally realized this was real. After the robber fled the bank, the manager got his gun and went after the robber but he failed to catch him. The robber was caught after another bank hold-up, and I was told I was the first female teller to be held up in California, which was a fact that attracted many reporters.

1.Why was it easy for the author to become a bank teller?

A. Females were thought responsible.

B. There was a lack of male workers.

C. She worked far better than men

D. Women could be trained easily.

2.Why did the author feel calm at the beginning of the incident?

A. She was well trained.

B. She took it for a test.

C. She knew the man had no gun with him.

D. She had experienced the same thing before.

3.How did the robber feel when he heard the author's words in Paragraph 4?

A. Worried. B. Disappointed.

C. Skeptical. D. Ashamed.

4.What can be inferred about the author after the incident?

A. She was the subject of many news stories.

B. She caught the robber in another hold-up.

C. She was to blame for losing money.

D. She succeed in changing her job.

The easy way out isn’t always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I looked through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Dong loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough(面團)covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had failed, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work.

I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. I had to admit what the 'living thing 'was and why it was there. I don't know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing--Doug or me?

1.The writer's purpose in writing this story is ___________

A. to tell an interesting experience

B. to show the easiest way out of a difficulty

C. to describe the trouble facing a newly married woman

D. to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books

2.Why did the woman's attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?

A. The canned orange had gone bad.

B. She didn't use the right kind of flour.

C. The cookbook was hard to understand.

D. She did not follow the directions closely.

3.Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin?

A. She didn't see the use of keeping it

B. She meant to joke with her husband.

C. She didn't want her husband to see it .

D. She hoped it would soon dry in the sun.

4.What made the dough in the rubbish bin make the noise?

A. The rising and falling movement.

B. The strange-looking marks.

C. Its shape.

D. Its size.

10-year-old Mikaila Ulmer is building a lemonade empire, and hoping to save honey bees in the process! It all started when Mikaila was 4 years old and she was stung(叮)by a bee twice in one week! This caused her to become very scared whenever bees were near.

In order or help her deal with this new fear, MIkaila’s parents asked her to do some research on bees. She learned that bees are very important for flowers, gardens and trees as pollinators(傳粉者). She also learned that they are dying at a rapid rate. In the past year, honey bee farmers have reported losing nearly 42% of their bees! Many believe that this could be due to the overuse of pesticides(殺蟲劑), which can have many bad effects on bees.

This is what set her mind to create a product to help save bees. She decided she would sell lemonade and she started her company, BeeSweet Lemonade. Her special lemonade recipe came from her great-grandmother’s cookbook. She decided to add honey to it, instead of sugar, in order to call attention to the problems honey bees face. Mikaila sells lemonade almost every day at her lemonade stand! And she takes every opportunity to tell her customers about the problems facing honey bees.

What began as a small operation is starting to grow. BeeSweet is projected to sell almost 140,000 bottles of lemonade this year! BeeSweet lemonade can be found on the shelves at select Whole Foods Markets as well as many restaurants and other locations near her home in Austin, Texas.

A. Favorable B. Frightened

C. Caring D. Friendly
