An 11-year-old girl from Belthangady, India, recently made news headlines for having around 60 dead ants pulled from her eyes. As for how the insects got there, some doctors thought they entered her body through the ears.

Last week, the girl, known only as Ashwini, started complaining of severe pain in her eyes. She told her parents that she felt there was something stuck in her eyes, and when they checked, they did find a small ant in one of her eyes. They didn’t pay much importance to it, as they assumed the insect had gotten there by accident, but it wasn’t long before the girl again started reporting pain in her eyes. They discovered more dead ants, and this time, they took her to hospital.

A local doctor told Ashwini’s parents that the insects must have first entered her body through the ears and then somehow made their way to her eyes. He gave her some eye-drops to help with the irritation（刺激）, but the girl still has 5 to 6 ants pulled from her eyes daily. A week ago, the Daily Mail reported that Ashwini’s eyes produced around 60 dead ants in a period of 10 days.

As doctors in Belthangady were left scratching their heads about how the ants reached Ashwini’s eyes or what they could do to stop the unusual phenomenon, she was taken to an eye hospital in Moodabidri, where her family hope to get some answers.

IB Times reports that Ashwini’s parents feared she had been affected by some evil spirit, so they also took her to an astrologer（占星家） who told them that the ants in the eyes were caused by something called Naga Dosha. But who knows?

1.Why did Ashwini recently make news headlines?

A. Because of her love for insects.　　 B. Because of her extraordinary skills.

C. Because of her strange experience.　　 D. Because of her abilities to control ants.

2.How did Ashwini’s parents react when finding an ant in her eye?

A. They didn’t take it seriously.　　 B. They tried their best to comfort her.

C. They sent her to hospital immediately.　　 D. They didn’t think it was just an accident.

3.The underlined part in paragraph 4 most probably means “　　　　 ”.

A. feeling angry about　　 B. showing disagreement about

C. being optimistic about　　 D. feeling puzzled about

4.What can be inferred about Ashwini from the text?

A. Her eyes no longer produce dead ants.

B. Eye-drops are of little help to her eyes.

C. The dead ants cause no harm to her eyes.

D. Only the astrologer has found out the truth.

An 18-year-old girl from Austria is taking her parents to court for posting over 500 photos of her on Facebook since 2009, without her permission.

Anna Meier has apparently become fed up with her parents refusal to take down intimate and embarrassing photos of her dating back to when she was a toddler, and is now seeking justice in court.

After a lot of weightlifting and 25 exhausting days training, a 52-year-old woman recently became the first female “gripman” on San Francisco’s historic cable cars.

Fannie Barnes passed her written test and completed a final run under the watchful eye of a supervisor, Municipal Railway spokesman Alan Siegel said.

Deep calluses(茧) are already forming at the base of her fingers and there is a hole in her glove. Two other women quit after a single day with injured muscles. “Now they’re going to have to change the word from gripman to grip person, just because of me,” Barnes said earlier, “I’m so excited.”

After almost a year of serious workouts, Barns can pull more than 61 kilos, only 23 kilos less than her body weight. And she’ll need the muscle, for this is no modern, push-button technology. Every time a car starts up again after making a stop, the gripman must haul back on a lever controlling a device that grips the cable, which runs continuously at 14 kilometers per hour. If the grip slips, so does the car. A second person operates the brakes.

In addition to having to throw her weight around on the job, she’s got to throw out some attitude to men who were hard to convince. The city employs 76 men in the job.

“A lot of men said mean things to me and didn’t want to help train me. But I would like to thank the guys who were against me because they gave me even more inspiration to do it.” she said.

Not all the men were against her. Many of the male colleagues yelled out support as she did her training runs. One of her biggest tests was drizzly December morning. She first went down the Hyde Street Hill, considered the most dangerous incline on the cable car routes. “I had to have the will and I had to believe I could do it,” she said. “It was scary, but as I started going down full grip and felt that I was in control, I knew I was on my way,” Barnes already is a pioneer of sorts. She started working as a cable car conductor six years ago, collecting fares and assisting on the back brake. She is one of only three women to have that job. But she said she always wanted the job up front on the car. (400)

1.What is unusual about Fannie Barnes getting a job as a gripman?

A. She is the oldest one to work as a grpman.

B. She is the first women to work as a gripman.

C. She is the fattest women to work as a gripman.

D. She is the most suitable one to work as a gripman.

2.What did the 52-year-old woman do when she first began working on the city’s cable car?

A. As a gripman.    B. As a conductor.    C. As a brakeman.  D. As a supervisor.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that Fannie Barnes is ________.

A. strong and easy-going            B. strong-willed and self-confident

C. popular and humorous            D. considerate and quick-tempered

Born in Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan Province, to a Canadian missionary family in 1915, Crook came into the world.　 While Isabel Crook's parents were engaged in setting up schools and education institutions in Southwest China, Crook herself was more interested in anthropology(人类学) and the many ethnic minority peoples in China. She was very curious about what was going on around her.

At the age of 23,Crook graduated from a Canadian college with a master's degree and began carrying out field research in Li County of Sichuan Province.　 In 1947,Crook and her journalist husband were warmly welcomed by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to observe and study the revolutionary land reform taking place in China. In 1948 the couple accepted an invitation from CPC leaders to teach at a newly-built foreign affairs school. The school was the forerunner of today's Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), which has seen over 400 ambassadors(大使) and 1,000 counsellors（参赞） walk through its doors. As a teacher at BFSU she laid the foundations for foreign language education in China.

As two of the first three foreign teachers at the school, Isabel and David Crook brought new Western teaching methodologies to the classroom. Michael Crook noted that since some students were extremely poor during the 1950s and 1960s, his parents were especially sensitive to their situation and did what they could to help them while protecting their self-esteem. For example, they would bring food such as eggs and bread for picnics and share them with students who brought steamed corn bread.

According to the younger Crook, because of his parents' belief in communism, they chose to use political texts as their teaching materials, such as works once admired by Karl Marx. Understanding that the students would become diplomats representing the People's Republic of China, his parents tried to help students gain knowledge in different fields to better prepare them for communicating with foreigners in English.

On December 15th 2018, Isabel got the award of ‘The Most Influential Foreigner throughout 40 Years of China’s Development’ from the Chinese government. On September 17, 2019, Isabel was awarded “the Friendship Medals” by the Chinese government for her lifetime of devotion to China.

1.What did Isabel Crook independently do?

A.Teaching English

B.Performing field research

C.Helping the poor students

D.Introducing new Western teaching ways to China

2.Why did his parents use political texts as teaching materials according to the younger Crook?

A.They themselves were crazy about Chinese politics.

B.They wanted to spread the spirits of Karl Marx

C.They had to teach many objects including politics.

D.They believed in communism and wanted to prepare students for overall development.

3.What can we infer from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?

A.In the 1950s, Crook’s husband worked as a reporter in China.

B.Isabel and her husband taught students only in Western teaching methods.

C.Isabel Crook made great contributions to China’s foreign language education.

D.Isabel Crook and her husband were very rich at that time.

4.Which of the following can best describe Isabel Crook?

A.caring B.patient

C.strict D.romantic
