Ben lived in the same house as I did, on the same floor, his door facing mine; we often saw each other, and I knew how he lived when he was at home. And at home it was the same story: dressing-gown, nightcap, closed windows, locked doors, and –‘Oh, I hope nothing bad will happen!’ Vegetarian food is not good for him, yet he could not eat meat, so he ate freshwater fish with butter—not a vegetarian dish, yet one could not say that it was meat. He did not keep a female servant for fear people might think evil of him, but had as cook an old man of sixty, called Alan, who had once been an officer’s servant and could cook after a fashion. This Alan was usually standing at the door with his arms folded; with a deep sigh, he would mutter always the same thing: “there are plenty of them about nowadays!”
1.What is the relationship between Ben and Alan?
A. Teacher and student. B. Friends.
C. Family. D. Employer and employee
2.Why didn’t Ben keep a female servant?
A. Because he was afraid of other people’s opinion about him.

D. Because he could not eat meat.
3.What does the underlined word “mutter” probably mean?

The snow lasted until last Friday. I opened the window this morning and saw the sun but I felt much colder.
“You’d better go to work on foot , dear,”said my husband,“It is dangerous for you to drive.”
I thought him right and agreed. It would take me about forty minutes to go my hospital. There was about an hour left, so I started, with a bag of sandwich for breakfast. In the streets there was thick snow and ice and the traffic was less than before and people walked carefully. Suddenly I saw a car going fast. The driver tried to pass the crossing before the lights turned red. Maybe he didn’t see two boys in the middle of the street. His car knocked down(撞倒)one boy and stopped just in front of the police box.
People crowded around the boy at once. I rushed out of the gathering crowd (聚集的人群)and was going to look him over. But a man pushed me aside and said,“Step back(向后退),please. I,ve had a course in first aid(急救).”
I had to stand and watch his ministrations(救助) for a few minutes. Then I said to him,“When you need a doctor, sir, I,m already here.”
1.It is __________today.
A. snowy B. cloudy
C. sunny D. windy
2.I left home__________this morning.
A. after breakfast B. before breakfast
