A woman made bread for members of her family and an extra(额外的) one for a hungry passer-by every day. She kept the extra bread on the windowsill(窗台)，for whomever would take it away easily.
Everyday，a hunchback(驼背的人) came and took away the bread. Instead of saying thanks，he repeated the following words as he went his way，“The evil(邪恶) you do remains with you. The good you do，comes back to you!”This went on，day after day.
One day，the woman felt angry.“Not a word of thanks，”she said to herself. She decided to kill him. She added poison(毒药) to the bread she prepared for him. As she was about to place it on the windowsill her hands shook.“What is this I am doing?”Immediately，she threw the bread into the fire and prepared another one. As usual，the hunchback came，picked up the bread and repeated those words.
As the woman placed the bread on the windowsill，she prayed(祈祷) for her son who had gone to a faraway place to make money as usual.
That evening，there was a knock on the door. As she opened it，she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway. His clothes were in pieces. He was hungry and weak. As he saw his mother，he said，“Mom，it's a miracle(奇迹) I'm here. While I was but a mile away， I was so hungry that I fell down. I would have died， but just then an old hunchback passed by. He was kind enough to give me a whole bread. He said，“If Your need is greater than mine!”
As the mother heard those words，her face turned pale and red. She remembered the poisoned bread that she had made that morning. If she had not burnt it in the fire，it would have been eaten by her own son，and he would have lost his life!
It was then that she realized the importance of the words：“The evil you do remains with you. The good you do，comes back to you!”Do good and don’t ever stop doing good，even if it is not thanked at that time.

When people discover that I work as a film and TV extra (临时演员), they always ask me the same questions: Emily, is it easy to get work? Isn't it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well? My answers are pretty standard as well: Yes, sometimes, once in a while, and… kind of. The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine.
Extras, who play the people in crowds, on streets, or in the background of indoors scenes, can come from all walks of life. Unlike many extras, I'm a trained actor. I do get real speaking roles, but work can be hard to come by if you're not a popular star. I'm registered (注册) with an agency that deals only with extras, so I get calls all the time. The agency explains who I'll be someone in a crowd, a member of a jury, a clerk and tells me where to go. Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour.
Sometimes being an extra is a "hurry up and wait" job. In my first extra role, I was one of a group of office workers who come out of a building just as a car explodes (爆炸) in the street. We waited for hours for the scene to be shot, and then went in and out of the building about fifty times, trying to act terrified by an explosion which was not real. Then we had lunch, changed clothes, and spent the afternoons as customers in a department store.
It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do. Being part of the background in a convincing (令人信服的) way is challenging, and being on a film or TV set is always fascinating. A lot of famous actors don't even notice the extras, but the ones who do make the job a lot of fun for everyone. As for the money, it's nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. And, as a bonus, I've beaten my high scores on all my phone games, thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen.
1.Emily gives standard answers because ______.
A.she is proud of her job B.she wants to hide her feelings
C.she thinks it's unnecessary to explain D.they are the exact answers to the questions
2.What does Emily think of her job?
A.Busy. B.Enjoyable. C.Fashionable. D.Easy.
3.In line 21, another way to say as a bonus would be ______.
A.above expectation B.as a result C.in general D.after all
4.According to the passage, _____.
A.the famous actors look down upon the extras
B.being an extra is always a "hurry up and wait" job
C.Emily tells the truth about being a film and TV extra
D.those who want to be film or TV extras must be trained
5.We can infer that Emily ______.
A.often pays the bills for others
B.sometimes has to get up very early
C.has beaten all the phone game players
D.was in face of danger in her first extra role

They say that "travel is the best teacher" and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would finally become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend (传奇人物) around the world.
1.Which of the following best describes Xu's mother?
A.Strict but interesting. B.Supportive and open-minded.
C.Helpful and hardworking. D.Kind but uneducated.
2.Xu preferred walking during his travels because ______.
A.it gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people
B.it helped him to save money and travel for a longer time
C.it allowed him to see and study the environment in detail
D.it was the only way to reach the places he was interested in
3.What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake?
A.It was the first travel book ever written in China.
B.It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.
C.It was mainly about the different people of China.
D.It was only made public after Xu died.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Xu Xiake's Life Story B.Xu Xiake's Discovery
C.Xu Xiake's Travelling Experience D.Xu Xiake's Book
5.What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's life?
a. He went on his first journey.
b. His book was finally printed.
c. He returned to his hometown for the last time.
d. He developed an interest in books about other places.
e. He started managing the family farm after his father died.
