When he went home, he began to think what he had done. He went back to the market to find the girl. He told her that he was sorry and that he wanted to pay her for the flower. The little girl refused and said, "You do not need to pay for the flower, elder brother.

Typing with one hand when the other one is occupied can be a real pain, so imagine having to type with just one foot. It’s got to be a nightmare, but 21-year-old Hu Huiyuan from China’s Anhui Province is using her only functional foot to write not just a few sentences, but an entire fiction novel!
Born prematurely(过早地), Hu was diagnosed with cerebral palsy(脑瘫) when she was only 10 months old. This left her permanently paralyzed—the only parts of her body she can move are her head and left foot. As she grew older, she learned how to perform everyday tasks using her foot.
Despite not having received formal education, Hu is surprisingly well-spoken. Over the years, with the help of her mother, she taught herself to read and write. “I’m not a genius, but I’m very focused,” she said, modestly. “When I watched TV in my childhood, I often learned words on the screen.”
“When I was teaching her how to speak, I had to repeat every single word a thousand times before she got it, ”Hu’s mother said. “But once she mastered the word. I felt satisfied.”
With time going by, Hu’s language got so proficient that she set out to write a story about the pursuit of dreams and love. She’s doing this by typing out every single word on her computer using only one foot.
In spite of all these setbacks, Hu is able to type 20 to 30 words a minute. She has already written six chapters—that’s 60,000 words—and says she only has two more chapters to go before the novel is complete.
1.According to Hu Huiyuan, she learned to read and write well because_____.
A. her mother taught her B. she often watched TV
C. she concentrated on what she did D. she had a gift for language
2.What do you think of Hu huiyuan’s mother?
A. She was very clever. B. She was very patient.
C. She was very strict. D. She was very worried.
3.What does the underlined word “proficient” most probably mean?
A. skillful. B. interesting. C. enough. D. satisfying.
4.How many chapters does her book consist of?
A. Two. B. Four. C. Six. D. Eight.

The concept of good manners varies a lot when we compare different cultures, values and ways of living. However, when we talk about the western part of the world, the differences are not so big. In my opinion, going to a restaurant in Brazil will rarely be an embarrassing situation. But there are some basic and necessary rules of etiquette(礼节)that Brazilians usually respect every day. They are:
●Being on time is polite, but it is not a strict rule in Brazil. Being late for up to 15 minutes probably will not make a Brazilian angry.
●When you go to a restaurant, be careful to greet the people who work at the place, and don’t forget to greet the people who are already waiting for you at the table. It’s not necessary to hug or kiss everybody if they are already seated.
●You can ask somebody about how the food is prepared and also about prices or tips if you are not sure about them.
●Before they start eating, Brazilians usually say “born appetite” to their friend.
●You should never talk to another person while you still have some food in your mouth.
●Making noise while eating is also considered really rude. Avoid doing it.
●Be careful not to put your elbows on the table while eating. It is not terrible, but it can be considered a little bit rude by some people.
●Don't worry about the time. Usually people in Brazil stay seated for a long time, especially when they have interesting things to talk about.
●It’s not necessary to talk in a really low voice because people there usually talk in a little loud voice. But please, don't exaggerate.
●Finally, saying “thank you” and “bye” are always seen in Brazil.

Of all nature's disasters, forest fires are often considered the most frightening. Moving at lightning speed, huge walls of flames can burn acres of land in just a few minutes. And although technology, including the use of fire-retardant chemicals, has greatly helped the fight against forest fires, they still do great damage.
According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the fire season last year was the worst on record in terms of the number of fires and acres burned. There were 96. 385 fires and 9.873429 acres affected by fire in a year that was 125% more destructive(毁灭性的) than the10-year average. These fires cost the federal government $1.5 billion to fight, and this figure does not include the money spent by local and state governments as part of the effort.
Fires in the southern states represented half of the national total last year with Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas being home to a usually high amount of activity. Wildfire has also taken place in Western states such as California, Colorado and Alaska throughout the past 10 years.
It is said that two-thirds of forest fires are started accidentally by people. Almost one quarter are purposely set, while lighting causes 10%.
Forest fires can have advantageous effects. Charcoal(木炭) enriches soil and some plant species(种类) grow well after fire. The cones of the jack pine tree, for example, will not spread their seeds unless there is heat. Douglas fir trees grow best in open sunlight areas after fire.
1.Forest fires are considered to be the most frightening because____.
A. fire-retardant chemicals can't be made use of
B. huge walls of flames can burn acres of land
C. they make the greatest loss of all disasters
D. they spread too fast and do great damage
2.Almost 25% forest fires are set_____.
A. unexpectedly B. by lighting C. on purpose D. naturally
3.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The advantages of forest fires. B. The usage of charcoals.
C. Pine trees need fires. D. Fires destroy all plants but two.
