24、I’m a storyteller. And I would like to tell you a few personal stories.
I grew up reading British and American children’s books. When I began to write, I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading: All my characters were white and blue-eyed, they ate apples and talked a lot about the weather, despite the fact that I lived in Nigeria. We ate mangoes and we never talked about the weather. Because all I had read were books in which characters were foreign. I had become convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in them.Things changed when I discovered African books.Because of writers like Chinua Achebe and Camara Laye, I went through a mental shift in my idea of literature（文 学）. I realized that people like me, girls with skin the color of chocolate, could also exist in literature.I started to write about things I recognized. So what the discovery of African writers did for me was this: It saved me from having a single story of what books are.
The year I turned eight, we got a new house boy Fide from a nearby rural village. The only thing my mother told us about him was that his family was very poor. And when I didn’t finish my dinner, my mother would say, “Finish your food! Don’t you know? People like Fide’s family have nothing.” So I felt great pity for Fide’s family. Then one Saturday，we went to his village to visit, and his mother showed us a beautifully patterned basket that his brother had made. I was astonished. It had not occurred to me that anybody in his family could actually make something. Their poverty (being poor) was my single story of them.
Years later, when I left Nigeria to go to university in the United States, my American roommate asked where I had learned to speak English so well, and was confused when I said that Nigeria happened to have English as its official language. What struck me was this: She had felt sorry for me even before she saw me. My roommate had a single story of Africa: a single story of disaster.
Of course, Africa is a continent full of disasters. But there are other stories that are not about disaster, and it is very important, it is just as important, to talk about them. The result of the single story is this: It robs people of dignity（尊严）. It makes our recognition（认可）of our equal humanity（人性）difficult. It pays more attention to how we are different than how we are similar.
So what if my mother had told us that Fide’s family was poor and hardworking? What if we had an African television network that broadcast different African stories all over the world? What if my roommate knew about my Nigerian publisher, Muhtar Bakare, a remarkable man who left his job in a bank to follow his dream and start a publishing house?What if my roommate knew about my friend Funmi Iyanda,a fearless woman who hosts a TV show, and is determined to tell the stories that we prefer to forget?
My Nigerian publisher and I have just started a non-profit called Farafina Trust, and we have big dreams of building libraries and providing books for state schools, and also of organizing lots of workshops in reading and writing, for all the people who are eager to tell our many stories.
Stories matter.Many stories matter.Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity. When we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of enjoyment.
【1】What is probably people’s first impression of the writer when it comes to her nationality（国籍）? ________
A．She mainly eats apples and mangoes.
B．She may not speak good English.
C．She comes from a place free of disasters.
D．She prefers stories based on foreign characters.
【2】The underlined phrase “a mental shift” in Paragraph 2 refers to the writer’s ________.
A．discovery of African books with characters of her skin color
B．acquaintance（相识）with local African writers like Chinua Achebe

D．change that she started to write about things she recognized（认可）
【3】How many personal stories has the writer mentioned in the passage? ________
A．Two.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? ________

26、British people are good at waiting, especially in a line (队伍). In the UK, it’s common to see lines everywhere.
Waiting in line in the UK isn’t simply about showing politeness. British people like everything to be in perfect order, so being impolite like pushing the way ahead of someone in a line is something that most British try to avoid.
Actually, the tradition started during the World War II. At that time, people had to wait in line to get things like food in shops. The government was worried that trouble and disorder would happen. So people were told to wait in line politely and patiently. And that message is still alive today.
There is probably only one thing that will influence British people’s habit—the weather. One minute it can be sunny and the next it can be wet and windy. When the weather is bad, people only hope the bus can arrive very soon, or people in front of them waiting for the food will give up and leave. If someone decides not to follow the rule in bad weather, most British people will warn him.
Waiting in line can be fun if the weather is good. Although people are waiting, they may be excited about the thing they’re waiting for, for example, a pop concert. The excitement can make waiting for something a very enjoyable experience.
【1】British people have the habit of ________ according to Paragraph 2.
A．making everything in a mess
B．putting everything in great order
C．being impatient to people around them
D．pushing the way ahead of someone in a line
【2】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The weather in Britain changes very often.
B．The British feel angry at jumping the line.
C．Most British people would wait in line in bad weather.
D．Waiting in line in bad weather is enjoyable for the British.
【3】In which part of a magazine can we read the text?
A．Culture.
B．Education.
C．Business.
D．Technology.
