21、My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store. I don’t think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have. They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet.
One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didn’t one day. I asked him about it and he said they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was obvious that he was having a difficult time.
We wanted to help him, so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan. We had his secretary contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!
It was so wonderful to see Charlie in her new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. I’m sure that upon hearing her story, ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many.
【1】Why didn’t the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?
A. It was very warm and fine.

A. Charlie was a young man with skills
B. Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses
C. Charlie didn’t support his family with enough money
D. Charlie entirely accepted the money for the new glasses
【3】The underlined word “waived” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A. gave up B. took up C. cut down D. put off

D. A New Pair of Glasses

23、 Justin Bieber may have millions of fans worldwide, but Russia’s bears don’t appear to admire the pop singer’s music --- which proved fortunate for one lucky fisherman.
Igor Vorozhbitsyn had his life saved by a Justin Bieber ringtone, when his mobile phone went off during a dangerous attack by a brown bear.
The 42-year-old was attacked as he was walking to a favourite fishing spot in northern Russia’s Yakutia Republic and firmly believed that he was going to be killed.
Wildlife experts believe the ringtone must have frightened the bear into stopping its attack.
‘Sometimes a sharp shock can stop an angry bear in its attack and that ringtone would be a very unexpected sound for a bear,’ explained one．
Mr Vorozhbitsyn suffered from cuts and severe wounds and was rescued when he was found by other fishermen after using the phone to call for help.
Mr Vorozhbitsyn ---now recovering from his wounds---explained: ‘I had parked my car and was walking towards the spot I’d marked out when there was a tremendous impact on my back and the bear was on top of me.’
‘I couldn’t believe my luck when the phone went off and it run away.’
‘I know that sort of ringtone isn’t to everyone’s taste but my granddaughter loaded it onto my phone for a joke,’ he added.
Adult brown bears can weigh as much as 600kg and have been known to kill wolves and even Siberian tigers.
Finally, this is a proof that Justin Bieber is unbearable

24、In 1888 an Egyptian farmer digging in the sand near the village of Istabl Antar uncovered a mass grave. The bodies weren't human. They were feline-ancient cats that had been mummified（木乃伊化的）and buried in holes in astonishing numbers. "Not one or two here and there", reported English Illustrated Magazine, "but dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, a layer of them, a layer thicker than most coal joints, ten to twenty cats deep." Some of the linen-wrapped cats still looked presentable, and a few even had golden faces. Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change; the rest were disposed of as fertilizer. One ship transported about 180,000, weighing some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England.
Those were the days of generously funded explorations-that dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the estates and museums of Europe and America. The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get at the good stuff. Few people studied them, and their importance was generally unrecognized.
In the century since then, archaeology has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a science. Archaeologists now realize that much of their sites' wealth lies in the majority of details about ordinary folks-what they did, what they thought, how they prayed. And animal mummies are a big part of that.
"They're really displays of daily life," says Egyptologist Salima Ikram. After peering beneath bandages with x-rays and cataloguing her findings, she created a gallery for the collection-a bridge between people today and those of long ago. "You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, "Oh, King So-and-So had a pet". I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us."
【1】Which of the following words has the closest meaning to "peddled"（paragraph 1）？
A．Presented
B．sold
C．illustrated
D．introduced
【2】Why was archaeology once referred to as a "treasure hunt"（paragraph 3）？
A．People put great value on the majority of details about ancient people.
B．Animal mummies could be made into fertilizer which is very valuable.
C．It was hard to find animal mummies since they were buried under dirt.
D．People sought the remains of ancient Egypt merely for their material value.
【3】Which of the following is TRUE about Salima Ikram?
A．She wishes to establish the continuity of pets over history.
B．She believes that studying the remains can help modern society relate to the past.
C．She wants to identify the King's personal belongings and catalogue them.
D．She doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains
【4】This article probably encourages the readers to .
A．value the past by studying the remains left behind by our ancestors
B．make full use of the remains our ancestors have left behind
C．understand that animal mummies are more important than gold and masks
D．become more sensitive to the ancient lifestyle of our ancestors
