Nakushi didn’t tell her parents when the olde...

Nakushi didn’t tell her parents when the older boys started to harass (骚扰) her on her way from her home to school in south Delhi, seizing her hand and shouting “kiss me”，because she knew she would get the blame. She was right: when her family found out, they banned her from going back to school，worried about the effect on their“honor”. The plan now is to get her married. She is 16.

Sumen，a 35-year-old mother， is battling for her child’s future， too. Her nine-year-old son， Kapil, has learning disabilities and she has tried and failed to get him into school every year. Finally, the authorities have agreed he should get some education，but it’s only for one day a week.

In India，a free and compulsory education is guaranteed for all children aged between 6 and 14. But going to school is one thing; the quality of the education you get is another. Within government schools，pupils face many challenges: overcrowded classrooms, absent teachers and dirty conditions are common complaints，which can lead parents to decide it is not worth their child going to school. Inside one of the schools, some of the classrooms have low benches and desks. In others，the lttle girls sit on the floor， books in their laps. In several, no teacher is present; one man appears to be responsible for three of the small rooms.

It is girls, the very poor and the disabled who are often left behind. Nakushi had imagined herself working for the police, or becoming a teacher.“ My parents are looking for a boy for me," she says. “They say I can get married and then I can study. But I know that once I get married, it will become very difficult. My dream will never come true.”

1.Why didn’t Nakushi tell her parents about the harassment?

A.She was unwilling to leave school. B.She didn’t want to get married.

C.She thought it wouldn’t help. D.She worried about the honor.

2.Why couldn’t Kapil have regular school education?

A.His family gave up on him. B.He had difficulty in learning.

C.His mother couldn’t afford it. D.The authorities treated him unfairly.

3.What can be inferred from the third paragraph?

A.All children must go to government schools.

B.Few parents choose government schools for their kids.

C.Facilities in government schools are far from satisfactory.

D.Shortage of teachers is the biggest problem in government schools.

4.Which could be the best title for the text?

A.Nakushi’s Impossible Dream

B.Big Challenges in Indian Children’s Education

C.Girls Facing Difficulty in Education

D.Hope for a Better Learning Environment

Honesty，my mum always used to tell me，is the best policy．Of course，this didn’t include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn’t give me any presents．

But when it comes to medicine．I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients．After all，the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust，and therefore honesty is essential．Or so I thought．

I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科)．Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen．I took a medical history from his daughter who’d accompanied him in the ambulance．She’d been his main carer for years．I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history．“Has he lost any weight recently?”I asked．“Well，it’s funny you should mention that，but yes．”she said slowly．There was silence for a few moments．“Why? What are you worried about?”she asked．I hesitated．She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth．“Well．we need to prove it’s not cancer．”I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order．

Half an hour later, a nurse called me：“Mr. McMahon’s daughter broke down--she said you told her he had cancer．”My heart sank．By the time I arrived at the ward，my consultant was already there，explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer．I stood silently at the end of the bed．My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon，she turned to me．“Why on earth did you do that?”she asked in disbelief．I looked at her and bit my lip．“She asked me what I was worried about and I told her．”I said，hanging my head．“And give her more to worry about?”replied my consultant．“You don’t say the word‘cancer’until it’s confirmed．Even if you suspect it，think very carefully before you tell people.”

As it turned out, it wasn’t cancer．But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear and as a doctor it’s important to be mindful of this．In being truthful，I’d made the situation worse．

1.The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author_____．

2.The author’s consultant was angry with him because________．

3.The author hung his head (the underlined part in Paragraph 4) because he was feeling________．

4.What lesson has the author learnt from his experience?

When Xia Min started drinking alcohol with classmates to celebrate her friend’ s birthday, she didn’t realize a tragedy was drawing near. She drank a lot and fell into a coma. The 15-year-old girl from Chongqing never recovered, leaving great sorrow for her family and friends. Xia’ s death is a warning to other students and society. As more and more teenagers are drinking alcohol , the government recently passed a new rule to stop them.

1.The passage is mainly about ________

When I was about 12 years old, my older brother, James, smuggled a BB gun into the house. Our parents had told us many times that we were not allowed　 to bring home guns or knives, even if they were just toys. Having any form of weaponry in our home was strictly forbidden.

James brought me to his room. He opened his closet door and took out a shoebox that was buried beneath a heap of clothes. The BB gun was inside. I was immediately enamored by the shiny barrel.

"Can I shoot it, Jamesie?" I asked, hopefully.

"No way," James said, taking it from me and putting it back.

One day, when no one was home, I went into James' closet and took it out. For some inexplicable reason - I have no idea what I was thinking - I went to the front window of the second floor in our row house. I cracked the window open. I pointed the gun outside and shot. I quickly shut the window and peeked outside.

In a matter of seconds, old Mr. Schlosberg came out of his grocery store. He looked back at his store window. He looked up the street. He looked down the street. Then he looked straight across to our house.

Thankfully, Jamesie made it home before Mother or Father.

As he stepped through the door, I could hear old Mr. Schlosberg call his name. "James, James," he called. "Come here, son."

After several minutes, James ran back across the street and into the living room. I had retreated into the kitchen. "Alma!" he screamed. "Get out here! You cracked Mr. Schlosberg's window with my BB gun!"

"Oh, please, Jamesie," I begged. "Don't let him tell Mother. She will whip my bottom real good!" Jamesie sighed. He wiped my tears and went back across the street to Mr. Schlosberg’s. I don't know what James said to that man, but there was never a mention of the incident again.

Years later, I found out Jamesie had used the money he got from his newspaper route to pay for Mr. Schlosberg's cracked window. He only got one cent for every paper he delivered. He managed to pay back the debt just before he went off to fight in World WarII.

Since that day, I have never touched a gun: a BB gun, a water gun, a real gun, or any other type.

1.Why was the gun hidden in the closet?

A.The gun was too expensive.

B.The family had only one gun.

C.The law didn’t allow anyone to have a gun

D.The parents didn’t allow a gun to appear at home.

2.What did Alma expect from James after he shot Mr. Schlosberg’s window?

A.To deal with the problem. B.To talk with his parents.

C.To throw away the gun. D.To tell the truth.

3.Which of the following best describes James as a brother?

A.Responsible and strict. B.Brave and determined.

C.Responsible and caring. D.Naughty and determined.

4.The best title of the passage is _________.

A.a warmhearted brother B.a BB gun

C.a cracked window D.an incident
