“Racism (种族歧视) is a grown-up disease,” declares the saying on Ruby Bridge’s website along with a photo of Mrs. Bridge today, a 6-year-old girl four decades ago. In the photo, she is walking up the steps of the William Frantz Public School in New Orleans, a little black girl accompanied by two officers who protect her on her way to school.
Her name then was Ruby Nell. It was Nov. 14, 1960. She was the first black child to enroll at this all-white elementary school according to the court order to desegregate in New Orleans schools. Her story is moving -- she was a very courageous child -- and remains a significant proof against intolerance (不宽容) of all kinds. Ruby’s photo brings out another powerful image on her website: Norman Rockwells symbolic painting for Look magazine on Jan. 14, 1964, “The Problem We All Live With.”
Rockwell was an illustrator of exceptional skill and charm. He produced a vast number of unforgettable images over a long career, many of them involving children. His American kids are innocent and appealing, but often, at the same time, decidedly naughty. His method was to photograph his models, and the resulting paintings were photographic． But it is revealing to see how the artist slightly changed facial expressions from photo to oil painting in order to make his paintings communicate with the viewer. Communication, even persuasion, lay at the back of his work; this was art for effect.
“The Problem We All Live With” belongs to Rockwell’s later work, when he began openly showing his strong belief in liberty. This is a highly persuasive image. Before he arrived at the final copy, one sketch (草图) shows the little girl closer to the two officers following her than to those in front. In the finished picture, the girl seems more determined, independent, and untouched． The unfriendly tomatoes thrown on the wall are behind her now, and she, is completely unaffected．
Ruby Nell was protected by officers on her way to school, because .
A．she was a little fighter against racism
B．she was very young, short and timid
C．she was the first black to study in an all-white school
D．she was chosen by the com t0be’wi’th white children
According to the passage, “The Problem We All Live With” is a(n) .
A．social program for American children
B．famous painting by Norman Rockwell
C．photo displayed on Ruby Bridges’ website
D．exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum
The word “desegregate” in paragraph 2 probably means“ ”.
A．fight against the white B．end racial separation
C．struggle for freedom D．stop the black-white conflict
The main topic of this passage is .
A．how Rockwell encouraged Ruby to fight against racism
B．how Ruby won her fight to go to an all-white school
C．how Rockwell expressed his protest in .Iris work
D．how persuasive Rockwell’s earlier work of art is

It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10 th and 11 th centuries. As wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妆) or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion (遗弃)，but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to withhold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, And more than just a right: the documents showed that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case did the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.
The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance(遗产，继承物)against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria, Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.
A decimum was .
A. the wife’s inheritance from her father
B. a gift of money to the new husband
C. a written contract
D. the wife’s right to receive one-tenth of her husband’s property
In the society described in the passage, the legal standing of the wife in marriage was .
A. higher than that of her husband B. lower than that of her husband
C. the same as that of her husband D. higher than that of a single woman
What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?
A. Some of the land Miro had inherited. B. A tenth of Miro’s land.
C. Money for household expenses. D. Money from Miro’s inheritance.
