Sometimes she asked me to slow down in front ofa special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now."We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
"How much shall I give you?" she asked."Nothing," I said."You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly and said, "Yougave an old woman a little moment of happiness."

We have always been interested in the moon. 2000 years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
When scientists could use telescopes to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity (引力) millions of years earlier.
In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something about the size of Mars hit Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
However, in the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.
1. From the passage we know the moon was made of
A.earth B. rocks C. water D. metal
2.When did people first bring the moonrocks to the earth?
A. In 1969 B. In 1956 C. In 2006 D.In 1966
3.What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?_____________
A. Why people are interested in the moon.
B. How ideas about the moon have changed over time.
C. Where the moon came from in the past.
D. That people have finally learned the truth about the moon.
4. Before 1969 most scientists thought the moon was ________.
A. part of the earth billions of years earlier
B. older than the earth
C. a planet caught by the earth’s gravity
D. made of the same things as the earth
5.From this passage we can learn that ________.
A. scientists in the past were not clever
B. the earth was once part of the moon
C. new information brings new ideas
D. we now know everything about the moon

I’ve been working in a school for more than twenty years ．Many parents often ask me ,“How can you teach your child good study skills ? How can he or she get the homework done as quickly as possible ? ”Here are some tips :
1．If the child is as young as nine or ten ,ask him or her to prepare a small notebook to write down the homework given by his or her teachers ．By developing this habit ,he or she will learn to be much more responsible （负责的）．
2．Find a good place to study ．This should be a quiet place that is free from everything but study things ．No games ,radios ,or televisions ．Once you have decided on a place to study ,this should be the only place where your child does his or her homework and studies ．There should also be a very specific time for homework to be done ．Usually ,homework should be done as soon as the child gets home from school ．This also goes for the kids who take part in afterschool activities ．Of course ,it is a good idea to allow the child to have a healthy snack before the work begins ．
3．Also remember that it is the child’s duty to do his or her homework ．Some children give up easily and go to Mom and Dad for help when they have a problem ．Try to let them solve it first ．By doing this ,they will get a sense of success from overcoming problems ．In this way we help them to help themselves ．

Many years ago， when I was in high school and working at weekends， I lost my wallet. That day， I needed to put gas in my car. I paid for the gas and then put my wallet on the front bumper(保险杠) and drove off. I didn't even have time to miss it when my phone rang. A man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my bag and to my surprise， I had. He asked me to tell him what was in it. I did so. He then told me where to go to pick up my wallet.
As I drove to his house， I noticed the man's car. It was really special. I was thinking that there was no way this man could have easily got out of his car and got my wallet off the street. He had to pull over， get in his wheelchair， lower the lift， and then pick it up.
I thanked him like 10 times for finding my wallet. I didn't want to insult(冒犯)him by offering money but I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness， and he said， "Just pass it on". I said I would be certain to do that.
Well， one does not find many wallets and so it was about 10 years later that I found one. It took me several days to find the man to whom the wallet belonged. He lived in another state， about 60 miles away from where I found the wallet.
The young man was actually surprised that his money was still in the wallet and he tried to
hand me $20. I told him， "Thanks， but just pass it on."
1. The man who picked up the writer's wallet was ·
A. humorous B. disabled
C. creative D. poor
2. What can we know from paragraph 3?
