         John was seven. He lived with his grandparents in the countryside before he came to our class
    because his parents had to work in the city. They also had no time to take care of him. So he was a new
    student in our class. And he knew nothing about the things that happened in big cities. Now he was
    standing in the front of the classroom because Mr. Smith, the teacher, was asking John a lot of questions.
    But John couldn't answer any of them. Mr. Smith then decided to ask him some easier questions so that
    he could answer a few.
         "What was Thomas Edison?" he asked.
         John thought for some time and then answered in a very low voice, "A singer from America."
         "No. Thomas Edison was a great American inventor," Mr. Smith said. He was getting a little angry
    now because everyone knows the great man, but he was trying not to let his students see that. Then he
    asked again. "Who was the first president (总统) of the United States?"
         John thought for a long time, but said nothing. Mr. Smith shouted, "George Washington!" John turned
    back and began to walk to his seat sadly.
         "Come back!" Mr. Smith shouted. "I didn't tell you to go back!"
         "I'm sorry," John said. "I thought you were calling the next student."

    阅读理解。
         When punctuation (标点) began, it was mainly to help people read out loud. Until a few hundred years
    ago, not many people were taught to read, so there was a lot more reading out loud by the few people who
    could.
         To help those reading out loud in the old days, sign (符号) known as "points" were added to pages of
    writing. Punctuation comes from the Latin word punctus, meaning "point". These points told readers when
    to pause (暂停) or take a breath, and what to emphasize (加重).
         In Europe from the early centuries AD, these points were widely used although not everybody used the
    same points for the same thing. When printing was invented, printers had to be made more clearly about
    what to put where, so that everyone was doing the same thing. Since that point, all sorts of punctuation
    rules have been discov ered and invented.
         Speech marks ".."
         Speech marks or quotation marks are used to show that someone is speaking. The sort we have in English
    today began to be widely used during the 18 century. Before that readers simply understood from the way a
    sentence was written that someone was speaking although sometimes spoken words were underlined.
         Comma, colon: period (full stop).
         All three of these sorts of punctuation marks were given their Greek names by Aristophanes, a librarian
    who lived in Byzantium in the 2'd century BC. They were marks on the page, each with a message to the
    reader. Comma meant a short pause. Colon meant a medium (中等的) sized pause. Period meant a long pause.
         Exclamation mark!
         In the early days of punctuation, if you saw this sign, you were supposed to pause. Some people think
    the exclamation mark began as what the Creek word JO looked like if it was turned 90 degrees. This word
    means"Oh, gosh!" With the I on the top and the O under it, the sign as we know it today was developed.
         Question mark?
         In the middle age, a squiggle (圆弧) above a full stop was sometimes used to show the sentence was a
    question and that a person's voice should go up at the end. By the 17" century it had turned into what we
    call a question mark. The shape may have come from the letter Q short for that Latin quaestio, meaning
    "question". 
         Writers make choices about punctuation because they think differently about sentences and words. It's
    part of the personality of their writing. Some writers hate punc- tuation, but others love punctuation. So
    whether you love or hate punctuation, the best advice may be to just enjoy it, play with it, think about it and
    use it. It belongs (属于) to the language and it belongs to you.
    1. When did punctuation begin to be widely used, according to the passage?
    A. In the 17th century.
    B. In the 2nd century BC.
    C. In the 18th century.
    D. In the early centuries AD.
    2. All punctuation rules were discovered and invented in order to ________.
    A. help people read out loud
    B. meet the need of printing
    C. guide the way of writing
    D. mention the spoken words
    3. Which of the following is true?
    A. A long pause comes after question mark.
    B. Speech marks were named by a librarian.
    C. Question mark comes from a Latin word.
    D. The shape of a word makes exclamation mark.
    4. What's the problem about punctuation today?
    A. People have completely different ideas about it.
    B. Not many people are taught to use it correctly.
    C. It has different meanings to different people.
    D. Sometimes spoken words must be underlined.
