Reading comprehension.   　　A   　　They say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now living my third life and I’m not even a cat.My father died when I was 15, and we had a hard struggle to make a living.And my mother, who was seriously ill in her last years, died while still in her 60s.My sister married soon after, and I followed her example within the year.   　　This was when I began to enjoy my first life.I was very happy, in excellent health.I had a good job in San Jose and a beautiful home up the peninsula （半岛） in San Carlos.Life was a pleasant dream.Then the dream ended.I became afflicted （使苦恼） with a slowly progressive disease of the motor nerves, affecting first my right arm and leg, and then my other side.Thus began my second life…   　　In spite of my disease I still drove to and from work each day, with the aid of special equipment installed in my car.And I managed to keep my health and optimism （乐观）， to a degree, because of 14 steps.Crazy? Not at all.Our home was an affair with 14 steps leading up from the garage to the kitchen door.Those steps were a standard measure of life.They were my yardstick, my challenge to continue living.I felt that if the day arrived when I was unable to lift one foot up one step and then drag the other painfully after it ---repeating the process 14 times, I would be through---I could then admit defeat and lie down and die.   　　Then on a dark night in August, 1971, I began my third life.It was raining when I started home that night; strong winds and slashing rain beat down on the car as I drove slowly down one of the less-traveled roads.Suddenly the steering wheel jerked （猝然一动）。In the same instant I heard the bang of a blowout.It was impossible for me to change that tire! Utterly impossible!   　　I started the engine and thumped slowly along, keeping well over on the shoulder until I came to the dirt road, where I turned in and where I found lighted windows welcomed me to a house and pulled into the driveway and honked the horn.   　　The door opened and a little girl stood there.When she knew what happened to me, she went into the house and a moment later came out, followed by a man who called a cheerful greeting.I sat there comfortable and dry, and felt a bit sorry for the man and the little girl working so hard in the storm.   　　About an hour later, the man’s voice was heard, “This is a bad night for car trouble, but you’re all set now.”  “Thanks,” I said. “How much do I owe you?” He shook his head, “Nothing.Cynthia told me you were a cripple.Glad to be of help.I know you’ d do the same for me.There’s no charge, friend.” I held out a five-dollar bill, “No! I like to pay my way.” He made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to the window and said quietly, “Grandpa can’t see it.”   　　11.“A cat has nine lives” here means ___________.   　　A.a cat can live nine times longer than any other animal   　　B.a cat can die ninth   　　C.a lucky man can not die easily   　　D.the writer will live nine times   　　12.What do you think of the man who helped change the tire?   　　A.Warm-hearted but pitiable.   　　B.Warm-hearted and happy.   　　C.A blind old man that has nothing to do every day.   　　D.A poor old man that is always ready to help others.   　　13.How will the story be ended?   　　A.The writer paid the little girl but the old man did not accept.   　　B.The writer drove away with tears running down his cheek.   　　C.The writer stayed there, without knowing what to do and how to do.   　　D.In the next few frozen seconds the writer felt the shame and astonishment he had never felt before.   　　14.How do you understand the underlined sentence “I followed my sister’s example?”   　　A.He listened to his sister carefully.   　　B.Mother told him that he must get the agreement from his sister for whatever he would do.   　　C.His sister got married.He, too.   　　D.His sister was a great womanHe must learn from her.   　　15.The best title for this passage perhaps will be _____.   　　A.The Old Man and His Daughter                    B.Heart Leaping Up   　　C.Never Lose Heart                                         D.Good Will Be Rewarded Good   　　B   　　If women are mercilessly exploited （利用） year after year, they have only themselves to blame.Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores.Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.   　　Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste.Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn.Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have.Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.   　　No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society.Fashion designers are rarely concerned with the most important things like warmth, comfort and durability.They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right.There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.   　　When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious.Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designer.Do their unchanging styles of dress show basic qualities of stability （稳定） and reliability （可靠）？ That is for you to decide.   　　16.Designers and big stores always make money _____.   　　A.by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry   　　B.because they are capable of predicting new fashions   　　C.by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothing   　　D.because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing   　　17.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?   　　A.New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.   　　B.The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of character.   　　C.The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.   　　D.Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.   　　18.By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious” （Paragraph4）， the writer means that _____.   　　A.women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at   　　B.women are better able to put up with discomfort   　　C.men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers   　　D.men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion   　　11   　　12   　　13   　　14   　　15   　　16   　　17   　　18   　　III.
