阅读理解。     Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage. Studying was a breeze for Nigel. The
reward was certainly incomparable to the little effort that he had to put it. It begin when he was selected
to help the teachers in the computer laboratories.
     The peak of his school career came not when he topped the school but when he was selected for the
nationwide competition. Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join the contest because he liked playing
with the Lego sets and making something out of them. Nigel spent the next two months rebuilding the
robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the prizes for the competition. Its well us auspices
competitor. Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the
thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to befriend Alicia. Unaware of
his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even helped
her to put the finishing branches to her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. His robot
looked even better than Alicia"s and it was able to become a ball with its arms, something Alicia had failed to
do.
      On the day of the competition, he says Alicia. Everything dawned on her the minute she saw him among
the competition. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over
her.
     The flashbulbs of the camera exploded in Nigel"s try. The robot bird performed actions so unique and
different that the specialist judgments were the same. Nigel was so personal with himself that he did not
even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him. Without her, he would never win the competition. 1. What reward did Nigel receive for doing well in his school work? A. He was offered a part-time job
B. He was honored with a scholarship
C. He helped his teacher construct a robot
D. He helped in the computer laboratories 2. Nigel"s original intention of joining the contest was to ___. A. be the top student of the school
B. being great honor to his school
C. constructs a robot with the Lego sets
D. wins the thousand-dollar prize 3. Why did Nigel help Alicia finish her robot? A. He tried to make friends with her
B. He was fond of building robots
C. He intended to help her
D. He didn"t want her to suspect him 4. What is the author"s attitude towards Nigel"s actions? A. He is mildly critical
B. He is strongly critical
C. He is in favor of them
D. His attitude is not clear

     If you were to walk up to Arthur Bonner and say, "Hey, Butterfly Man," his face would break into a smile.
The title suits him. And he loves it.
     Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly (蝴蝶), once thought to have died out. Today the
butterfly is coming back-thanks to him. But years ago if you"d told him this was what he"d be doing someday,
he would have laughed," You"re crazy." As a boy, he used to be "a little tough guy on the streets". At age
thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.
     "I knew it had hurried my mom," Bonner said after he got out of prison. "So I told myself I would not put
my mom through that pain again."
     One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat (栖息地) for an endangered
butterfly called El Segundo blue.
     "I saw the sign "Butterfly Habitat" and asked, "How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly
away?"" Bonner recalls. "Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大镜), "Look at the leaves."
I could see all these caterpillars (蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr Mattoni explained, "Without the plant, there are
no butterflies.""
     Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly needed help. That
was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then he"s been working for four years to help bring the butterfly
back. He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to
lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.
     The butterfly"s population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni
received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.
     For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While he"s bringing back the Palos
Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.
1. When he was young, Arthur Bonner _____.
A. broke the law and ended up in prison
B. was fond of shooting and hurt his mom
C. often laughed at people on the streets
D. often caught butterflies and took them home
2. Bonner came to know the Palos Verdes blue after he _____.
A. found the butterfly had died out
B. won many prizes from his professor
C. met Dr. Mattoni, a professor of biology
D. collected butterflies and put them into a lab
3. From the last sentence of the text, we learn that raising butterflies has _____.
A. made Bonner famous
B. changed Bonner"s life
C. brought Bonner wealth
D. enriched Bonner"s knowledge
4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. A Promise to Mom
B. A Man Saved by Butterflies
C. A Story of Butterflies
D. A Job Offered by Dr. Mattoni

     Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner,
cleaning offices in a big building.
     She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. "I would have liked
to go back to it, but the shifts (工作班次) are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up
and off to school."
     So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 a.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just £90, before tax and
insurance. "It"s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work "unsocial hours" should get
a bit extra."
     The hours she" s chosen to work meant that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband.
However, she doesn"t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.
     Her work isn"t physically very hard, but it"s not exactly pleasant, either. "I do get angry with people who
leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they"d be
a bit more careful."
     The fact that she"s working all night doesn"t worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the
building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. "Since I"ve got to be here, I try
to enjoy myself-and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never
drags."
     Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does
for a living. "They think you"re a cleaner because you don"t know how to read and write," said Margaret. "I
used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I"d been doing, but I don"t think that way any
more. I don"t dislike the work though I can"t say I"m mad about it."
1. Margaret quit her job as a nurse because _______
A. she wanted to earn more money to support her family
B. she had suffered a lot of mental pressure
C. she needed the right time to look after her children
D. she felt tired of taking care of patients
2. Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because Margaret _______.
A. they never clean their offices
B. they look down upon cleaners
C. they never do their work carefully
D. they always make a mess in their offices
3. When at work, Margaret feels _______.
A. light-hearted because of her fellow workers
B. happy because the building is fully lit
C. tired because of the heavy workload
D. bored because time passed slowly
4. The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret"s parents would _______.
A. help care for her children
B. regret what they had said
C. show sympathy for her
D. feel disappointed in her

     Kathy started at my nursery school at the age of three. She settled into the group easily, and would be
first on the slide and highest up the climbing frame. She could put on her coat without help and not only
fasten her own buttons but other children"s too.
     She was a lovely child but unfortunately a scratcher. If anyone upset her or stood in her way, her right
hand would flash out fast and scratch down the face of her playmates. Children twice her age would fly in
fear from her.
     This must have been very rewarding for Kathy but obviously it had to be stopped. All the usual ways
failed and then I remembered an account by G Atkinson Highfield School, of how fights in the playground
had been stopped. No punishment had been given, but the attacker had been ignored and the victims rewarded.
So I decided to try out on Kathy.
     With a pocketful of Smarties I followed Kathy around. She was so quick that it was impossible to prevent
her scratching, but I was determined to stay within arm"s length all afternoon.
     All was peaceful but then I saw Kathy"s hand moved and heard the scream. Gently I gathered up the little
hurt one in my arms and said "Nice, nice sweetie" and then looked puzzled when she got nothing.
     Soon came another scream, this time from John. While holding him in my arms, I said, "Look, Kathy, a
nice Smartie for John" and put it into John"s mouth.
     A smile of understanding flashed across Kathy"s face. Minutes later, she came to me and said loudly, "Give
me a Smartie! I have hurt my finger!"  
     "No," I replied, "you"ll get it if someone hurts you."
     On purpose, she turned and scratched a nearby boy, Tom, and waited quietly while I mothered and
rewarded him, then she walked away. She has never scratched a child since.
     Parents who find older children bullying younger brothers and sisters might do well to replace shouting
and punishment by rewarding and giving more attention to the injured ones. It"s certainly much easier and
more effective.
1. From the passage, we know that Kathy is ______.
A. sensitive but slow
B. smart but a bit rude
C. independent but selfish
D. quick but sort of passive.
2. Kathy scratched Tom because ______.
A. she was angry at Tom, who was in her way
B. she wanted to get a Smartie from the teacher
C. she was in the habit of scratching other children
D. she wanted to know if the teacher meant what she had said
3. According to the passage, the underlined word "bullying" is closest in meaning to "______".
A. helping
B. punishing
C. hurting
D. protecting
4. The writer of this passage aims to recommend an approach to ______.
A. rewarding children"s good behavior
B. correcting children"s bad behavior
C. punishing badly-behaved children
D. praising well-behaved children
