But touching things can help you to see them better.Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pockets. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.All children soon learn what “Dont touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we often have to touch things before we buy them.The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.1. By touching things,_. . A. you will have a strange feeling B. you will learn how to reach out C. you can see things better D. you can tell what colors they are2. Which of the following best serves as the best title of the story? A. Touching by Feeling B. To See or to Feel C. Seeing by Feeling D. Seeing Is Believing3. When people buy things in shops, they often _ . A. try them on first B. put their right hand on them C. just have a look D. feel and touch them BMargaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building. She got trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it , but the shifts(工作班次)are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.” So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just 90, before tax and insurance. “Its better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work unsocial hours should get a bit extra.” The hours shes chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesnt think that puts any pressure on their relationship. Her work isnt physically very hard, but its not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps theyd be a bit more careful.” The fact that shes working all night doesnt worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since Ive got to be here, I try to enjoy myselfand I usually do, together with the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.” Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think youre a cleaner because you dont know how to read and write,” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what Id been doing, but I dont think that way any more. I dont dislike the work though I cant say Im mad about it.”4Margaret quit her job as a nurse because _ Ashe wanted to earn more money to support her familyBshe had suffered a lot of mental pressureCshe needed the right time to look after her childrenDshe felt tired of taking care of patients5Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because _ Athey never clean their offices Bthey look down upon cleanersCthey never do their work carefully D. they always make a mess in their offices6When at work, Margaret feels _ Alight-hearted because of her fellow workers Bhappy because the building is fully litCtired because of the heavy workload Dbored because time passes slowly7The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margarets parents would _ Ahelp care for her children Bregret what they had said Cshow sympathy for her Dfeel disappointed with her C I was appreciating my family photos on my computer, admiring my two beautiful babies when I found a disturbing scene: my laptop was in almost all the pictures. There was my daughter, 8 months old, playing at my feet while I was typing on the couch. There was my son, with a big transformer, on my left arms. Id heard about the Internet addiction before, but I always thought it was something only limited to playing too much World of Warcraft (a computer game) day and night. Now, it seemed my Internet-habit is slowly but surely crossing the line. Sometimes I find myself up at midnight, surfing the Web while my family are sleeping. I read news, keep up with friends and write my blog just for something to do.It turns out that Im not the only mama who is addicted to the computer. These moms are contributing to a growing global addiction. Theres a movement among psychiatrists (doctors who specialize in mental diseases) to recognize the Internet addiction as an official mental disorder. And a recent Stanford University national survey found that 14 percent of Internet users find it hard to stay away from it for several days at a time; 9 percent try to hide their unnecessary Internet use from their loved ones; 8 percent admit they use the Web as a way to escape problems. Youre likely not the kind of addict who doesnt bathe and abuses drugs to help her stay up for more online time. You may have noticed, though, that going online has become a necessary part of your life, which, at least, means a box of clothes go unwashed. It may also mean youre missing much time with you baby something you probably do care about.8. From Paragraph 1, we can conclude that _. A. the author was busy taking care of her babies B. the authors job had something to do with computers C. the author was not good at taking photos of her babies D. the author looked after her babies while using the computer.9. The author used to think that the Internet addiction is _. A. using the web at midnight B. keeping up with friends online C. spending too much time online D. being addicted to computer games110. In medical terms, the Internet addiction is _. A. a personal life habit B. a way to escape problems C. an official mental disorder D. the unnecessary use of the Internet 11. What does the author want to express in the last but one paragraph?A. Many women still can control their online time. B. The Internet addiction influences housewives lives a lot. C. Going online has become a necessary part of womens lives. D. Many people dont realize that they are addicted to the Internet. D Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize. Munro didnt publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns. Even though shes won Canadas most famous literary award, the Giller Prize twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the peak of Munros career. “It brings her incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication to the short story,” said one person. Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.” Munro knew she was in the listshe was named the second-most likely person to win this years prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树）of Japanbut she never thought that she would win. Munros win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come. “When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday. She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is. In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer. “This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.” She wasnt sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang. But this may change my mind.” 12. What is the feature of Munros stories? A. They have complicated contents. B. They have similar story backgrounds. C. They have specific themes for children. D. They have the same characters in each book. 13. For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for_. A. her love for Canadian culture B. her devotion to the short story C. her special form of writing D. her career of editing short stories 14. What can you infer from the sixth paragraph? A. Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize. B. Canadian writers were respected across the globe. C. Canadian writers have long been ignored. D. Canadians come a long way to win the prize. 15. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize B. An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature C. Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in Literature D.
