  When Laura reached school-going age the discussions about moving became more urgent (紧迫的). Her father did not want the children to go to school with the village children and for once her mother agreed with him. Not because, as he said, they ought to have a better education than they could get at Lark Rise; but because she feared they would tear their clothes and catch cold and get dirty heads going a mile and a half to and from the school in the village. So empty cottages in the market town were examined and often it seemed that the next week or the next month they would be leaving Lark Rise for ever, but again each time something would happen to prevent the removal, and gradually a new idea came up. To gain time, their father would teach the two eldest children to read and write, so that, if asked by the School Attendance Office, their mother could say they were leaving the small village shortly, and in the meantime, were being taught at home.

  So their father brought home two copies of Mavor's First Reader and taught them the alphabet; but just as Laura was beginning on words of one syllable (音节), He was sent away to work on a distant job, only corning home at weekends. Laura, left at the c-a-t s-I-t-s on the m-a-t's stage, then had to carry her book round after her mother as she went about her housework, asking,“Please, Mother, what does h-o-u-s-a spell?”or“W-a-l-k, Mother, what is that?”

  Often when her mother was too busy or too tired to attend to her, she would sit and fix her eyes on a page that might as well have been printed in Hebrew (希伯来语) for all she could make of it, frowning (锁眉) and studying the print as though she would make out the meaning by force of concentration (专注).

  After weeks of this, there came a day when, quite suddenly, as it seemed to her, the printed characters took on a meaning. There were still many words, even in the first page of that simple book, she could not understand; but she could jump those and make sense of the whole.“I'm reading! I'm reading!” she cried aloud.“Oh, Mother! Oh, Edmund! I'm reading!”

1.Laura's father didn't want his children to go to school at Lark Rise because ________.

[  ]

A.it was too far away

B.they couldn't learn enough

C.their hair would become dirty

D.they would ruin their clothes

2.The children's father decided to teach them to read and write so that they ________.

[  ]

A.had an excuse not to have to move

B.had a reason for not attending school

C.could write to the School Attendance Office

D.would be educated before they left the village

3.The underlined part “left at the c-a-t s-I-t-s on the m-a-t's stage”means that ________.

[  ]

A.Laura was working hard and learning quickly

B.her father had no time to teach her

C.her mother was too busy to attend to her

D.Laura knew little about how to read and write

4.From the passage we can infer that ________ made Laura stare at a page in her book.

[  ]

A.her lack of concentration

B.her inability to understand

C.her need to understand Hebrew

D.her determination to understand

5.Laura finally discovered she could read when she ________.

[  ]

A.understood the main idea

B.understood all the words in her book

C.recognized the printed characters

D.jumped the first pages of her book

  William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865.His childhood lacked the harmony(和睦)that was typical of a happy family.Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”.In fact, he inherited(继承)excellent taste in art from his family-both his father and his brother were painters.But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama(戏剧)and poetry.

  Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements.He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning.He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.

  Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging.Though Yeats generally relied on very tradisional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them.As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.

  He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923.Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life.Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now his valued as a manor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75.After Yeats’s death in 1939, W.H.Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:

  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that over 50,000 people every year sustain some sort of winter-related back injury, and 5,800 of those are holiday decorating-related. These aches and pains can __41__ bring trouble to people’s life. It is said that people’s back could sustain all sorts of strain from carrying heavy __42__ , and from the increased stress of lugging suitcases, decorations and gifts. Dr. Alanna Levine spoke to Debbye Turner Bell on “The Early Show” about how to protect the back for the holiday season.

  The first tip Dr. Levine gave was about carrying heavy shopping bags. Smaller bags, she said, are better. “You don’t want to load everything up into one bag and lug it around,” Dr. Levine explained. “You want to __43__ the weight on your body.” She also recommended putting heavier items towards the bottom in those bags and lighter items on top. Also, if you can, make    __44__ trips to the car to drop off purchases.

  Travel can be another pain in the back — from carrying heavy luggage. Again, Dr. Levine    __45__ not to pack everything into one bag. Even though it may cost more, she said that packing two smaller bags is safer than packing one heavy one. Also, choose a light-weight bag, so that the only weight you’re carrying is the __46__ inside the suitcase.

  When __47__ bags from an airport carousel, Dr. Levine suggests standing close to the carousel and bending your knees to lift it up. “You want to avoid that reach-and-lift. It puts a lot of    __48__ on your lower back,” she said.

  When it comes to holiday decorating, people can get __49__. Dr. Levine suggests decorating in pairs, so one person can hand the lights and ornaments to the other person to hang, as to avoid reaching or twisting to get what you need.
