3.Passage Two"Yes, I'll be ready at nine in the morning. Goodbye, dear, and thanks again. "It had not been an easy telephone call for Mrs. Robson to make. Her daughter had been very kind, of course, and had immediately agreed to pick her up and drive her to the station, but Mrs. Robson hated to admit (承认) that she needed help. Since her husband had died ten years before, she had prided herself on her independence (独立生活 ). She had continued to live in their little house, alone.On this evening, however, she was standing at her living-room window, staring out at the SOLD notice in the small front garden. Her feelings were mixed. Naturally she was sad at the thought of leaving the house, as it was full of so many memories. But at the same time she was looking forward to spending her last years near the sea, back in the little seaside town where she had been born. With the money from the sale (出售) of the house, she had bought a little flat there.She turned from the living room window, and looked round at the room. One or two pieces of furniture remained, covered with sheets (被单). The floor was bare boards, and all her pictures had been taken from the walls. There was a small fish-tank, with two goldfish circling in it. When asked why, her husband used to say, "It's nice to have something alive in the room." Since he had passed away, she had always kept some goldfish, had always had "something alive in the room".Tim next morning, as her train was pulling out of the station, Mrs. Robson called to her daughter, "Kate, you won't forget to collect the goldfish, will you? The children will love them. It's...""I know," Kate interrupted (打断) gently. "It's nice to have something alive in the room."But in the little house, the two goldfish had stopped their circling.

    The Extended Family

    Mrs Sharp, a large, red-faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a 'new town' in the countryside outside London, since 1958. Before that she lived in Bethnal Green, an area of inner London. She was moved to Greenleas by the local authorities when her old house was demolished.

    She came from a large family with six girls and two boys, and she grew up among brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, grandparents and cousins. When she married her boyfriend from school at eighteen, they went on living with her parents, and her first child was brought up more by her mother than by herself, because she always worked.

    As the family grew, they moved out of their parents' house to a flat. It was in the next street, and their life was still that of the extended family. "All my family used to live around Denby Street," said Mrs Sharp, "and we were always in and out of each other's houses." When she went to the shops, she used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything. Every day she would visit one sister or another and see a nephew or niece at the corner shop or in the market.

    "You always knew 90% of the people you saw in the street everyday, either they were related to you or you were at school with them," she said.

    When her babies were born (she had two sons and a daughter), she said, "All my sisters and neighbours would help – they used to come and make a cup of tea, or help in some other way." And every Saturday night there was a family party. It was at Mrs Sharp's mother's house. "Of course we all know each other very well. You have to learn to get on with each other. I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business. She was forever asking questions and gossiping. But you had to put up with everyone, whatever they were like."

    1.Why did Mrs. Sharp have to move to Greenleas? ()

    A.Because she had to work there.

    B.Because she didn’t like the old place at all.

    C.Because her house in the downtown area was knocked down.

    2.When she got married, she lived ______.

    A.together with her parents all the time

    B.together with her parents for some time

    C.far away from her parents’ house

    3.Why did she know so many people? ()

    A.Because she was easy going.

    B.Because they were either her relatives or schoolmates.

    C.Because she was good at making friends with people.

    4.The sentence “I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business.” in the last Para. means ______.

    A.I had one neighbour who was always warm-hearted.

    B.I had one neighbour who was always ready to help us.

    C.I had one neighbour who always showed her interests in our private affairs.

    5.What does this passage mainly deal with? ()

    A.What the extended family is like.

    B.The relationship between Mrs Sharp and her neighbour.

    C.How Mrs Sharp brings her children up.

    Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
    in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
    end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
    In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
    to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
    through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
    clean and iron for money which she would then save.
    She led a simple,枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
    also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
    When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
    opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
    relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
    so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
    donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
    gave a billion dollars.
    She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
    States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
    her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
    before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
    received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
    doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her

    One afternoon,a fast,opened car came up behind her so silently and so fast that she didn’t hear it until it was only a few yards from her.She was singing some of her highest and most difficult tones at that time and as the car passed;she saw an anxious expression came over the driver’s face.
    He stopped his car suddenly,jumped out and began to examine all the tyres carefully. Mrs.Janes didn’t dare to tell him what noise he had heard really was,so he got back into the car and drove off.
