阅读理解.     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 (做针线活) or reading.
     After several months had gone by, I began 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 (缺点 ) ?
     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

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" probably means "___________". A. I began to understand it
B. it cheered me up
C. I was badly hurt
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. F"rom the passage, we can learn _________. A. one shouldn"t criticize others

     With every Olympic song, I found an excitement growing inside me when I was first to skate at the
age of five. But, unfortunately, I was badly hurt in a match. I quickly stopped my skating. Smiling, my
understanding husband just shook his head, "Skating is your passion(酷爱之物), but of course we can
stay at home."
     It was crazy, I know, that a thirty-seven-year-old mother of two wanted to skate circles under disco
ball lights after 10 years. I found the excitement growing inside me. I loved to skate. So I was out there
having the time of my life, listening to the music with a smile upon my face and heart, with only one desire
to skate again.
     I belonged here. It was so right to be back on the ice.
     "Did you use to be a skater?" A little girl looked up at me with questioning eyes. Taking time to give
my answer, I looked around the rink(溜冰场), where I could see so many years of lessons, Olympic
dreams, and a love of the ice that I knew would never die.
     "No," I replied. "I am a skater." With a smile, I glided away. Skating had finally turned me into a
champion--a winner of a lifelong passion for my favorite sport.
