A mystery woman said today she has won￡1.5 million from the UK National Lottery—but has never told her husband.

For the past three years, the woman, a mother-of-two who gave her name as Jane, had hidden her fortune from colleagues, friends and family, she said.

“Jane” has remained in her job and, if she ever splashed out on treats for the family, tells her husband she has had a pay rise or bonus.

The woman told her extraordinary story on BBC Radio Five Live this morning.

Presenter Victoria Derbyshire was hosting a phone-in which asked the question: “Is money guaranteed to make you happy?”

“Jane” called in and began, “I won quite a bit of money”, just under￡1.5 million, and I’ve never, ever told anybody. Not even my husband.”

Derbyshire said, “You’re kidding me. Why not?”

“Jane” replied, “Fear that it would change our lives too dramatically. My husband had, many years ago, a small drug problem—around 15years ago. And I’m scared with the money and perhaps the high life… he would go back there.”

She continued, “I do feel if I had said, yes, I’ve won this money, that he would have wanted holiday, he perhaps would have wanted to give up work, which would destroy our little family unit we’ve got now.”

The presenter told her, “I’m very surprised, I can barely believe it but it’s clearly true. Do you feel it’s made you happier?”

“Jane”, who said her won was “about three years ago”, said, “It’s nice because I know I haven’t got to worry about bills.”

Derbyshire told her, “I’m full of admiration for you, but is it not a betrayal of your relationship?”

The woman admitted, “I feel terribly guilty in one way, but in another way, we’ve got two young children and I think, well, if their lives change dramatically then it’s not fair on them. So I just want to keep things as they are.”

1.The woman let out her secret ______________.

A.fifteen years later B.in a radio program

C.to a woman named Jane D.after a pay rise

2.Why did the woman keep her fortune hidden from her husband?

A.Because she wanted the fortune in her control.

B.Because her husband was in poor health.

C.Because she didn’t have to worry about bills any more.

D.Because she feared that her husband would take drugs again.

3.The underlined expression “splash out” in paragraph3 most probably means ___________.

A.to spend money wastefully B.to let out a secret accidentally

C.to go abroad for a holiday D.to stay outside for sightseeing

4.The best title for the passage would be __________.

A.Woman hiding lotter win from husband

B.A mystery but guilty woman in UK

C.1.5 million pounds won by a woman

D.A way to keep things as they are.

Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States, yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself: " I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me." No one could have had a more productive old age.

She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until, at twenty--seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.

Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. "I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it" she said.

1.According to the passage, Grandma Moses began to paint because she wanted to_______.

2.Grandma Moses spent most of her life ________.

3.The underlined word “portrayals ” means ________.

A. expressions       B explanations     C. descriptions  .  D. impressions

4.From Grandma Moses' description of herself in the first paragraph, it can be inferred that she was ________.

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
