    In 1995，Oseola McCarty gave a present of $150 000 to the University of Southern Mississippi. She wanted to help poor students. It was a very generous thing to do. But her friends and neighbors were surprised. McCarty was a good woman. She went to church. She was always friendly and helpful. But everyone in her town knew that McCarty was not rich. In fact，she was poor.
    How did a poor 86-year-old woman have so much money？ Oseola McCarty was born in 1908 in Hattiesburg，Mississippi. She had to leave school when she was eight years old to help her family. She took a job washing clothes. She earned only a few dollars a day. Oseola washed the clothes by hand. Then she hung the clothes to dry. She did this for nearly 80 years. In the 1960s，she bought an automatic washer and dryer. But she gave them away. She did not think they got the clothes clean enough！At that time，many people started to buy their own washers and dryers. McCarty did not have much work， so she started to iron clothes instead.
    McCarty never married or had children. Her life was very simple. She went to work and to church. She read her Bible （圣经）。She had a black-and-white television. But she did not watch it very much. It had only one channel.
    McCarty saved money all her life and eventually had about $250 000. When she was 86，a lawyer helped her make a will. She left money to the church，her relatives，and the university. McCarty just wanted to help others. She did not think she was a special person. But then people found out about her present to the university. She received many honors （荣誉）。She even flew in an airplane for the first time！Oseola McCarty died in 1999. She was a shy and ordinary woman who became famous.

    On June 6th, 2012 Tiangong-1 welcomed its first guests, the Shenzhou Ⅸ manned spacecraft(载人飞船). The Shenzhou Ⅸ has two male astronauts and one female astronaut. At that time, Liu Yang, a thirty-three year-old woman, became the first Chinese woman in space.
    Joining the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force in 1997, Liu Yang became an experienced pilot after flying safely for 1,680 hours. In 2010, she became an astronaut because of her good job.

    Edith Cavell was born in a little English village. She was a clever, hard-working girl and did well at school, especially in music and French. After she left school, her first job was to take care of the children of a rich family in Belgium（比利时）. The language they spoke was French, so she found that her school studies were useful.

    (One day Alice runs after a strange rabbit and comes into a deep hole. She becomes smaller when she wakes up the next day. She finds herself in a wonderland with many amazing things inside.)
    The Caterpillar(毛毛虫) and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence. At last the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth, and said to her in a tired, sleepy voice.
    “Who are YOU?” said the Caterpillar.
    This opening for a talk couldn’t make Alice at ease. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I----I hardly know, sir, just at present ----at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”
    “What do you mean by that?” said the Caterpillar, “Explain yourself!”
    “I can’t explain MYSELF. I’m afraid, sir.” said Alice, “because I’m not myself, you see.”
    “I don’t see.” said the Caterpillar.
    “I’m afraid I can’t put it more clearly.” Alice replied very politely, “for I can’t understand it myself. And being so many different sizes in a day is very puzzling.”
    “It isn’t.” said the Caterpillar.
    “Well, perhaps you haven’t found it so yet.” said Alice. “But when you have to turn into a chrysalis(蛹，茧)----you will some day, you know ----and then after that into a butterfly, I think you’ll feel it a little stranger, won’t you?”
    “Not a bit.” said the Caterpillar.
    “Well, perhaps your feelings may be different.” said Alice. “All I know is, it would make ME feel very strange.”
    “You!” said the Caterpillar scornfully. “Who are YOU?” The question brought them back again to the beginning of the talk. Alice felt a little angry because the Caterpillar was making such VERY short sentences. She drew herself up and said very seriously, “I think you ought to tell me who YOU are first.”
    “Why?” said the Caterpillar.
    Here was another puzzling question. As Alice could not think out any good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be very unpleasant, she turned away.
    “Come back!” the Caterpillar called after her. “I’ve something important to tell you!”
    This certainly gave Alice some hope. Alice turned and came back again.
    小题1:Where may their talk take place?
    A．In a wonderland. B．In the field.
    C．In the tree.D．Outside the hole.
    小题2:Alice didn’t feel __________ during her talk with Caterpillar.
    A．shyB．sadC．angryD．strange
    小题3:Why did Alice think she was not herself?
    A．Because she was too young to understand the changes.
    B．Because being changed several times in a day made her feel puzzled.
    C．Because she didn’t like her changes
    D．Because she didn’t feel very well.
    小题4:Put the following statements in the correct order according to the story.
    ① Alice drew herself up.
    ② Alice used an example to explain the changes to herself.
    ③ Alice couldn’t explain herself.
    ④ Alice turned away.
    ⑤ Alice looked at Caterpillar for some time in silence.
    A．⑤②③④①B．⑤②③①④
    C．⑤③②④①D．⑤③②①④
    小题5:Which of the following sentences can be added to the end of the story?
    A．“Don’t be silly. You are still yourself.” said the Caterpillar.
    B．“Don’t be angry. You think you’re changed, do you?” said the Caterpillar.
    C．“Don’t be sad. You’ll grow bigger again.” said the Caterpillar.
    D．“Don’t be afraid. You can go home now.” said the Caterpillar.
