三、 阅读短文，选出合适的答案 (20’)

A

John and Sam were friends. They opened a small shop in a small village. One day, they sold out of all their wine (酒), so they drove to the city to buy some.

On their way home, the wind was strong and it was getting colder and colder. Both John and Sam wanted to drink some wine to keep warm, but they had a rule. They couldn’t drink any wine because they had to sell it. Because of the rule, if someone wanted to drink some wine, he had to pay the other twice the price.

John was a clever man. He took out ten cents and gave it to Sam. He said, “Here is ten cents. Would you please sell me some of your wine?” Sam was a businessman (商人), so he said, “You give me money, so of course I will sell some to you.” Then he passed John a cup of wine.

After drinking the wine, John felt warm soon, but Sam was still cold. Then he took out the ten cents that John just gave to him and said to John, “Here is ten cents. Please sell me some of your wine.” John agreed.

Sam drank some wine and also felt much warmer. But after some time, they both felt cold again, so they kept buying wine from each other with the same ten cents. Soon they drank up all of the wine.

Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.

Life today has brought many problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.

Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt (被状物) over a city. This kind of quilt is called haze (雾霾).

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, and they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air.

We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and do not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.

Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

(B)阅读与回答问题（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）每题答案不超过8个单词

Westerners think that the education ways in many Chinese families are hard to understand. Here are some examples.

Many children in China are looked after by their grandfathers and grandmothers because their parents are busy. But children need to stay and communicate with their parents.

Parents pay no attention to the rights of children. Parents seldom knock at the door before they go into the room of their children. They shouldn’t move their children’s things before they agree. Parents should communicate with children and respect the rights and decisions of them. Children who are not respected also do not know how to respect others.

Parents often compare their children with others. Most Chinese parents want their children to be successful, because it can save the parents’ face. Parents often say “You see somebody else is studying hard, what good grades they have, and what prizes they get”. This is the worst thing. It will only bring the child much harm and pain.

Many children are made to do what their parents expect, though they do not like it. For example, parents ask their children to learn to play the piano or go abroad. It should be decided by children themselves.

The more hard-working, the better. Many parents think school performance is everything. In fact, the integrated（综合）ability is so important that it will affect children all their lives. (No more than 8 words)
