It was just a windy January day here in the North East of Scotland. When I left home for the office where I worked in the next town, the weather forecasters said, “Windy and cold, but no rain.” However, by the time I was about to leave work in the early evening, it was pouring!
My office was close to the bus stop so that there was no problem; I just shot out the door and onto the bus. Unfortunately, once I got home to Montrose, I had about a mile to walk from the bus stop to my home.
As I stepped off the bus that night to walk home, I struggled to get my tiny umbrella to go up in the strong wind. It was obviously designed for a very light shower. Then, suddenly and to my amazement, I heard my mum’s voice.
“Quickly! Come under here, before you get soaked! ”
I nipped(跑) under my bigger umbrella and stared at mum in surprise. “What on earth are you doing here in this weather?” I asked her. My mum was eighty-three that year, and although fit and healthy, she did not usually like going out in strong wind and heavy rain. “You said to come round for tea tonight, but I came early before the rain got too heavy. Eric told me that your car was in for a service and I saw your big umbrella lying on the chair. Eric was on the phone, so I just picked it up and came out so that I could meet you and you would not get soaked!’’
My mum passed away the following year. This simple act remains in my mind, and reminds me how completely my mum loved me. She would not have gone out in the wind and rain for herself, but, at eighty-three, she never gave a second thought about the bad weather so I would not get wet.
【小题1】We can learn from the text that   

A.the author’s office was not far from her home.
B.the author’s mum enjoyed good health at 83.
C.the author was completely wet that night.
D.the author opened the umbrella easily then.
【小题2】On hearing her mum’s voice the author was much surprised because   .
A.her mum seldom enjoyed going out in such bad weather.
B.her mum did not tell her she would bring her an umbrella.
C.she had planned to go to her house for tea that day.
D.she did not actually realize how much her mum loved her.
【小题3】Eric failed to pick up the author in the car for the reason that    
A.he was busy with his work.
B.the car was being repaired.
C.he was fixing the new phone.
D.he did not expect it to rain.
【小题4】The best title for the passage can be   
A.I Love Mum.
B.Nice to Meet Mum in the Rain.
C.To Keep Me from the Rain.
D.Mum’s Voice in the Rain.

The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard by 2010 and, a decade later, citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world.

These were the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority. With the city’s population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020, Chen Yin, and official with the water authority, said Shanghai’s water consumption will not increase from its present amount.

Zhang Yue, director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction, said, “Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. They will not be easy to achieve.”

He said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of China’s economy.

Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city’s infrastructure(基础设施)costs by 10,000 Yuan. Last year, Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology.

 “The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” Chen said. “The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”

Shanghai lacks drinkable water. The Huangpu River, which supplies 80 percent of the city’s drinkable water, is nearing exhaustion.

The city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.

Besides penning regulations, the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.

At present, the city has 600,000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. These are to be renovated(整修)to use only 9 liters of water per flush.

The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households – at a cost of 40 Yuan each.

In three years, all the toilets will be renovated, which saves the city nearly 15 million Yuan every year in water conservation.

Another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage(污水)to improve the water environment.

At present the city can only treat 44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water. To meet the total demand, 27 more sewage treatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion Yuan.

1.People in Shanghai get their daily water mainly from         now.

A.the underground         B.the rain

C.the Yangtze River         D.the Huangpu River

2.According to the passage, some people have the wrong opinion of using water because      .

A.the renovating of family toilets will save plenty of water

B.about half of waste water has been treated already

C.advanced technology makes people use water as much as possible

D.there is plenty surface water and large amount of rain at present

3.The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households to          .

A.make people’s living more convenient

B.improve people’s living standards

C.ease employment pressure         

D.meet the total demand of water

4.Which group of measures are all mentioned in the passage to save water?

a.improve drinking water quality    b.change some industrial structure

c.introduce or use some new technology      

d.speed the economic development of Shanghai

e.renovate some family toilets        f.build more sewage treatment factories

A.a, b, c, d      B.b, c, e, f       C.b, c, d, e      D.a, b, e, f

5.We can infer from the passage that          .

A.the boom of economy will need a larger amount of water in the future

B.citizens today in Shanghai drink the best quality of water in the world

C.not everyone today in Shanghai is aware of water shortage

D.all the family toilets will be renovated to save water within 3 years
