阅读理解。     "Christmas won"t be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.
     "It"s so dreadful to be poor!" sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.
     "I don"t think it"s fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all," added
little Amy, with an injured sniff.
     "We"ve got father and mother and each other," said Beth, contentedly.
     The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly: "We haven"t got father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn"t say "perhaps
never", but each silently added it, thinking of father far away, where the fighting was.
     Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said in an altered tone: "You know the reason mother
proposed not having any presents this Christmas was because it is going to be a hard winter for everyone; and she thinks we ought not to spend money for pleasure when our men are suffering so in the army. We
can"t do much, but we can make our little sacrifices, and ought to do it gladly. But I am afraid I don"t";
and Meg shook her head, and she thought regretfully of all the pretty things she wanted.
     "But I don"t think the little we should spend would do any good. We"ve each got a dollar, and the
army wouldn"t be much helped by our giving that. I agree not to expect anything from mother or you, but
I do want to buy UNDINE AND SINTRAM for myself; I"ve wanted it so long," said Jo, who was a
bookworm.
     "I planned to spend mine on new music," said Beth, with a little sigh.
     "I shall get a nice box of Faber"s drawing pencils; I really need them," said Amy, decidedly.
     "Mother didn"t say anything about our money, and she won"t wish us to give up everything. Let"s each
buy what we want, and have a little fun; I"m sure we work hard enough to earn it," cried Jo, examining
the heels of her shoes in a gentlemanly manner.
     "I know I do-teaching those tiresome children nearly all day when I am longing to enjoy myself at
home," began Meg, in the complaining tone again.
     "You don"t have half such a hard time as I do," said Jo. "How would you like to be shut up for hours
with a nervous, fussy old lady, who is never satisfied, and worries you till you"re ready to fly out of the
window or cry?"
     "It"s naughty to fret; but I do think washing dishes and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the
world. It makes me cross; and my hands get so stiff, I can"t practice well at all"; and Beth looked at her
rough hands with a sigh that anyone could hear.
     "I don"t believe any of you suffer as I do." cried Amy, "for you don"t have to go to school with
impertinent girls, who plague you if you don"t know your lessons, and laugh at your dresses, and label
your father if he isn"t rich."
     "If you mean libel, I"d say so, and not talk about labels, as if papa was a pickle-bottle," advised Jo,
laughing.
     "I know what I mean, and you needn"t be satirical about it. It"s proper to use good words, and
improve your vocabulary," returned Amy, with dignity.
     "Don"t peck at one another, children. Don"t you wish we had the money papa lost when we were
little, Jo? Dear me! How happy and good we"d be, if we had no worries!" said Meg, who could
remember better times.
     "You once said you thought we were a deal happier than the King children, for they were fighting
and fretting all the time, in spite of their money."
     "So I did. I think we are; for, though we do have to work, we make fun for ourselves, and are a pretty
jolly set, as Jo would say." Jo immediately sat up, put her hands in her pockets, and began to whistle.
     "Don"t, Jo; it"s so boyish!"
     "That"s why I do it."
     "I detest rude, unladylike girls!"
     "I hate affected, niminy-piminy chits!"
     "Birds in their little nests agree" sang Beth, the peacemaker, with such a funny face that both sharp
voices softened to a laugh, and the `pecking" ended for that time. 1. According to the passage, who is the most pessimistic and who the most optimistic? A. Jo; Amy

I fell in love with England because it was quaint（古雅）-all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls" houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it"s an ugly town now. Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners-people shut doors heavily to your face and politeness is disappearing. I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You"re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice. As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb（大量的钱）on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use _it ，but now I’m afraid. The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that"s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.
1. The writer doesn"t like London because she______.
A. is not used to the life there now B. has lived there for seventeen years C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there
2. Where do people usually meet their friends in England? ______.
A. In a cafe. B. In a restaurant. C. In a nightclub D. In a pub.
3. The underlined part "it" (in Para. 4) refers to______.
A. a taxi B. the money C. a bomb D. public transport
4. The writer took her neighbor to France for Christmas because he______.
A. felt lonely in England B. had never been to France C. was from a typical French family D. didn"t like the British idea of family

Do you know why I am always in support of learning a foreign language? The reasons are as follows: 1. Improve your English I know this might not make sense at first but hear me out. As a person who speaks only one language, you have no basis for comparison（比较）；all you know is English. In different languages the same idea is often expressed in different ways. You will find yourself speaking and writing more creative sentences. There is a reason why most great writers and poets are students of many languages.2.______________ Travelling is one of the great joys of life and also one of the most wonderful experience. Why not get the most out of your experience? If you don"t know the native language of the country that you are visiting, you are completely excluded from the culture. The locals（当地人）don"t speak to you. Knowing even a few phrases will make a huge difference. You will meet more people and find it much easier to get around. 3. Join the global community The majority of the world does not speak English. The truth is that new thoughts and ideas are happening everywhere and they are not being immediately translated. The world is getting smaller and we are coming into contact(接触) with more non-English speakers all the time. Gain an advantage for yourself in business and personal relationships by being able to communicate with people in their language. Now that you know three great reasons for learning a foreign language, do it right now.
1. According to the author,______.
A. it is necessary for writers and poets to learn many languages B. knowing another language will make you able to write a novel C. studying another language will help you make your native language better D. if you only know one language, you have no ability to appreciate the language
2. The underlined word“excluded”in the third paragraph probably means______.
A. shut out B. joined in C. sent for D. put up
3. Which of the following can be used to fill in the blank in the passage?
A. Help enrich your life B. Help you to become rich C. Help widen your knowledge D. Increase your travel experiences
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Three Great Reasons for Learning a Foreign Language B. A Foreign Language Help You Gain Respect C. Improve Your English by Comparison D. Build Confidence Through Learning a Foreign Language

What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish. Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products（产品）, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers. In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升级）. Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations（组织）are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. The computers then go to schools, charities（慈善团体）and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things-and cut down on waste, too.
1. What do many people do with old computers?
A. They repair them. B. They sell them. C. They send them to others. D. They stop using them.
2. What do the organizations do to solve the problem of old computers?
A. Help the computer companies to collect them. B. Repair and send them to those who need them. C. Help people to learn to use them. D. Turn rubbish into useful things.
3. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Repairing old computers. B. Encouraging to make cheap computers. C. Recycling old computers. D. Helping those who need computers

After endless hours of work and devotion, 2 myself through drill after drill, the last thing I want is to be a cheer leader.
