After she left school, her first job was to take care of the children of a rich family in Belgium（比利时）. The language they spoke was French, so she found that her school studies were useful. She could understand them easily, at the same time she taught the children to speak English and play the piano.

After hearing that her father was seriously ill, Edith returned home to look after him. She then decided to become a nurse. Afterwards for five years she worked in an English hospital where she proved to be highly professional（专业的）at her job.

25、阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案

Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask, few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, a former news interviewer with CCTV, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome.

The 103-minute film was on websites on Feb 28. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She thinks that burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog.

To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace them with cleaner energy such as natural gas. In her film, Chai also emphasized (强调) that everyone can do something to help control smog too. For example, we can live a greener life by using more public transport. Or if we see things that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it. In the film, when she sees a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities (过滤设备), she calls the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later.

Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. “This film encourages ordinary people to take notice of the environment. This is what we need in the future.”

【1】What is the main cause of smog according to Chai?

A. Setting off too many fireworks.

【2】Which of the following is NOT included in Chai’s suggestions towards reducing smog?

A. Using cleaner energy.

B. Cleaning coal and oil.

C. Using public transport.

D. Replacing coal with wind energy.

【3】What can we tell from the story?

A. Only factories produce heavy smog.

B. Only the government can control smog.

C. Smog can’t be controlled by ordinary people.

D. Living a green life can help reduce smog.

C. He disagreed with it.   D. He disliked  it.

26、   It was the first time that my wife and I had flown first class. As we boarded the plane, we felt as if we were part of a wealthy group. Sitting with those important people filled us with a sense of pride.

We noticed that the stewardess (空姐)  was working non-stop to make sure of the comfort of the first class passengers. She could not walk by a seat without being given an order. I thought she must love her job very much, since she gave each person such a big smile.

As the stewardess passed our seats near the end of the flight, I looked up at her and said, "Thank you and I hope you have a great night." She stopped with a look of disbelief on her face, and said: "Excuse me?" I repeated my words and she smiled in a rather funny way. It seemed as if I had asked a question that she did not know how to answer.

A little later, as we were getting off the plane, the stewardess said to me: "Thank you very much, sir." Then she said quietly: "You are the only passenger who has thanked me or said anything nice to me all night. I really appreciate your kindness."

The sense of belonging to an elite (精英) group in first class disappeared as soon as I heard those words. We were reminded that without kindness, there would be no first-class flying.

【1】After boarding the plane, The writer felt .

A.nervous B.proud C.scared D.uncomfortable

C.Treat people with respect no matter who you are.

D.Most of first class passengers of successful people.

27、“Blue skies,” I sang, “smiling at me…” But no one was smiling. My classmates looked bored as they waited to rehearse (排练). It was just hours before the talent show, and my voice wasn’t sounding good. I sadly sat down on the floor. My act was too bad.

My parents were on their way. My mother had been my age when she started painting seriously, and had shown and sold work into her thirties. But her hands were now too busy washing, cleaning and making salad. Still, I kept hoping she’d start again. I gave her sketchbook (写生簿) every Mother’s Day and Christmas.

“Maybe I should read poems.” I found the show’s host and let her know.

“Next up, Sandra Beasley,” came the introduction.

No one had warned me about the spotlight (聚光灯). I squinted (眯着眼看), looking for my parents, but I couldn’t pick out either of their faces. My first poem was one to blueberries. Then I read a poem about chemistry class and found a rhythm, “This last one,” I said, “is for my mom.”

The poem described our laundry (洗衣) room, which had once been her studio. She was the artist. Where was her art?

“How can I learn,’ the poem finished, “if you do not teach?”

“Thank you,” I said. The audience (观众) gave a big hand. A friend took my arm as I left the stage.

“Wonderful” she said. “Jeez. Is your mom here?” My heart dropped. My mother had expected to hear me sing Blue Skies. Instead , she had been chastised (谴责) in front of all the audience.

When the house lights came up, I noticed my dad waving me over. “Well, hey,’’ he said. “That was something else.” She was standing on his other side．She could have said, “That’s not your story to tell.”

Instead she pulled me toward her. I laid my face to her shoulder so quickly that I’d never know for sure if her eyes were wet. There are some tears that a mother is not willing to show, there are some tears a daughter is not ready to see.
