His boss had traveled to the UK, where he was so impressed by the statuelike members of the Royal Guard outside Buckingham Palace that he wanted to do something similar back home. So he had his guards receive three months of training, during which they would sit perfectly still for around four hours. They werent allowed to talk, smile, eat, drink, or even drive away a fly if it sat on their faces. In the end, Abdul proved himself the best of the group, so he got the strange job.Abdul isnt the only person in the world acting as a living statue, but what makes him special is the fact that he can do it for as long as six hours even without blinking his eyes. At one point, the VGP Golden Beach Resort became so confident in Abduls ability to act as a living statue that they put up a 155 prize for anyone who can make him move a muscle. But try as they might, no one has ever succeeded.Abdul earns about 156 dollars a month, which is enough to support his family, but not enough to encourage his children to follow in his footsteps.“In spite of all the hardship and health problems, I love my job and I am thankful to people for the love and respect they have shown to me，” he says.“When the time comes, I want to die playing a statue.” 语篇解读：本文是记叙文。在印度，有这么一位活雕塑扮演者，他能站立6个小时一动不动，他就是现年54岁的阿卜杜勒。1What is Abduls daily routine?AEncouraging his customers.BWorking as a security guard.CProving to be a living person.DPerforming as a living statue.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“54yearold Abdul has been working as a living statue for over three decades”和第二段中的“Abdul, known as Indias Statue Man， has been performing his daily routine (日常工作) ever since 1985”可知，阿卜杜勒的日常工作是扮演一个活雕像。2Why could Abdul get the strange job?AHe stood out among the group.BHe was specially interested in it.CHe was most familiar with the job.DHe knew the boss more than others.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the end, Abdul proved himself the best of the group, so he got the strange job”可知，阿卜杜勒是受训的保安中表现最好的，所以他得到了这份特别的工作。3What was the purpose of the 155 prize?ATo cheer Abdul up.BTo test Abduls ability.CTo attract more visitors.DTo support Abduls family.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第三段中的“At one point, the VGP Golden Beach Resort became so confident in Abduls ability to act as a living statue that they put up a 155 prize for anyone who can make him move a muscle”可知，VGP 黄金海岸度假酒店对Abdul活雕像的扮演能力很自信，也就是相信这份奖金不会轻易被游客赢得，故可推知设置奖金的目的就是为了吸引更多的游客入住酒店。4How does Abdul feel about his job according to the text?AIts interesting. BIts satisfying.CIts wellpaid. DIts highpowered.解析：选B推理判断题。根据最后一段中阿卜杜勒说的话可知，尽管活雕像这份工作充满艰辛，对身体健康也有影响，但是他还是非常喜欢这份工作。BMichelle Bruce and her husband, Jeremy, suffered serious illnesses, and their son, Holden, had a brain tumor (肿瘤). With three other children to take care of, the family moved to Michelles hometown of Franklin, Nebraska, six years ago, so her parents could give a hand.Doctors had found Holdens brain tumor when he was twelve. His family was living in a small town outside Lincoln, Nebraska, and there were no pediatric (小儿科的) brain doctors in the state. Holden had two operations at adult clinics in Omaha. Both treatments were tough, and swelling left him in an ICU for about a week.When Holdens tumor returned in 2012, the Omaha clinic wasnt able to operate. But the Bruce family wouldnt quit. They reached out to Boston Childrens Hospital, which has better equipment and doctors. After looking at Holdens records, the doctor sent back her prognosis：She was confident she could remove the tumor for good. However, the operation would cost39,000 more than the parents could afford.In a town of just 1,000 people, word travels fast. Within days, a local woman Michelle had never met in person called to say she was planning an event to raise money for Holden. Michelle felt surprised.The day of the fundraiser (资金筹集活动) was freezing, but that didnt prevent Franklin people showing up. The event was encouraging, and the Bruce family never thought it could raise a couple thousand dollars. Back at her parents house, Michelle got a call from the fundraisers organizer. Theyd made enough to cover the operation. In all, the town raised 45,000 enough to cover not only Holdens hospital bills, but for Michelle and Jeremys trip to Boston with their son.Holdens third operation went more smoothly than the first two. He was released to stay in the hospitals hotel with his parents by the next day.“He had no swelling, no pain，”says Michelle.语篇解读：本文是记叙文。Bruce一家在急需钱给儿子看病时得到了全镇居民的捐助，从而使儿子的脑肿瘤得到切除。5Why did the Bruce family move to Franklin, Nebraska?ATo seek help.

BSchedule.CForecast.
