The following is a true story. It happened in a small village in Australia, where some dangerous animals live in the forest.

Lisa, a 33-year-old mother, went to cook lunch in the kitchen, her 3-year-old son, Barney, playing by himself in the garden.

Suddenly, a loud cry of Barney came into the mother’s ears. Lisa rushed into the garden in a hurry and found a big snake entwining〔缠绕〕 the little boy with its body and trying to eat the boy. It was a boa〔蟒〕. Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She decided to save her son from the boa’s mouth.

It was great mother’s love that made Lisa forget what she was facing. She took up a hoe〔锄〕 from the ground and beat〔打〕the boa as hard as she could.

One...two...with the hoe, Lisa beat the boa time and time again, but useless. The little boy’s voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker, Lisa’s heart was broken and she got nearly mad. Suddenly Lisa put away the hoe and threw herself to the boa, opened her mouth and bit〔咬〕 into the boa’s back. The boa was so badly hurt that it let go of Barney and moved into the forest hurriedly. It had never known how a woman had such sharp〔锋利的〕teeth. Soon the boa was found dead in the forest.

It was great mother’s love that saved the little boy.

48. When she came into the garden, Lisa found __________.

We often ask for information or help, especially when we visit a foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English, “Where are the restrooms?〞 and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?〞 are correct English, but the first could sound rude. It’s important to use correct language, but sometimes we need to learn how to be polite.

In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. If you say to your teacher, “Where is my book?〞 This will sound rude. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?〞 Your question will sound much more polite. Of course it might be all right to say “Where is my book?〞 in some situations, perhaps with people you know well.

“Peter, give me your pen. 〞can sound rude in English. Usually in English, polite questions are longer such as “Could you please...?〞 or “Can I ask...?〞 It sounds more polite to say. “Peter, could you please give me your pen?〞 Sometimes we might even need to spend some time when you stop a stranger in the street. We might first say, “Excuse me. Can you help me?〞 or “I’m sorry to trouble you but. 〞before asking them for help.

It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct〔直接〕. However, if you want to be a polite person, you should learn about language etiquette〔规矩〕. It is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.

52. What is the polite way when you ask for help? A. Pass me the watch, Li Tao. B. Where is the supermarket?

C. Tell me where I can find a bank. D. Could you please give me your pen?

53. Why do we need to learn polite language? Because __________. A. they can improve our grammar and vocabulary

B. they can help us become better at English C. everyone wants to be polite D. the teachers tell us to do so

54. From the passage, we can infer〔推测〕 the writer __________. A. thinks being direct is nothing important B. knows much about spoken language C. is good at asking for directions D. often speaks many languages

55. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. How to start a polite talking with strange people. B. Correct language is as important as polite one. C. How to use correct language is important. D. People should learn to speak politely.

八、阅读短文，根据短文内容答复下列问题。〔共10分, 每题2分〕

“Be proud of what you do. 〞my father often tells me. “whether〔无论是〕you are a manager or a cleaner. 〞At the age of 15, I got my first job—a summer job in a hospital. My work is to wash dishes and sweep the floors. I smiled and remembered Dad’s words.

My job was the lowest, but it made me feel excited. I saw it as a challenge〔挑战〕because it was my first job. I learned to be on time and tried to do everything welt. People in hospital all liked me.

ill〕 rooms and cleaning restrooms. I was very tired, but I wanted to do the job well. People often say, “That young boy really does a good job. 〞That gave me a pride〔自豪〕.
