13、In the 1920s, the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants (服务生) to look after the passengers. Young men, or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ bags but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930, a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.
Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer. She wanted a more adventurous (冒险的) life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital and at the same time took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.
Ellen was 25 years old when she first got in touch with BAT (Boeing Air Transport). She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Though women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot. But she had another idea. Most people were afraid of flying because flying was still not a very safe way to travel. There were often delays (延误), many crashes and the bad weather made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and BAT agreed.
The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.
At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was a hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and was paid $1 an hour.
In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.
1．From the first paragraph, we know that ______________.
A．the word “stewardesses” was started from Ellen Church
B．Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a plane
C．food and drinks were offered on the plane then
D．traveling by air was very popular because of the flight attendants
2．Boeing Air Transport offered Ellen the job because of _______________.

C．her nursing experience D．her life attitudes (态度)

14、John was a poor man in a small village. He tried to grow as many vegetables as possible in his yard, so he didn’t have to buy so many in the market.
One evening, John was reading in his room. All of a sudden, he heard a noise in his yard and he looked out of the window. A white bull (公牛) was eating his vegetables. That burnt him up. He at once went out with his stick and ran after the bull. However, he was too old to catch it. When he got back, he found that most of his vegetables were ruined (毁坏).
The next morning, while John was walking near his house, he saw two white bulls. They looked very much like the one that had eaten his vegetables. He was carrying his stick with him, so he at once began to beat the two bulls with it. As neither of them looked more like the bull that had eaten his vegetables than the other, he beat both of them very hard.
The owner of the bulls saw that and shouted, “Hey! Why are you beating those poor animals like that? What have they done?”

15、Hands play an important part in our daily life. But do you know which of your two hands you use more? Very few people use both hands equally well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually use their right hands. Scientists don't know why this happens.
Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones. Next time you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people. We live in a right-handed world.
1．（小题1）How many people among 100 people use their left hands better?
A．5%. B．50%. C．95%.
2．（小题2）. New-born babies can use __________.

16、In March 2014, Australia opened junior high education to Chinese students, allowing them to study in Australian schools from the seventh grade.
“When more Chinese students are going to study abroad at a younger age, the opening of Australian junior high schools offers Chinese students and their parents one more good choice,” Tian Litie, director of the Australian Department of Chivast Education International, said at the China International Education Exhibition Tour over the weekend.
Australia will see a rise in the number of Chinese junior and senior high school students studying in the country. Tian showed the reasons for it: lower admission (入学许可) requirements and low-cost education because of a favorable exchange rate (费率). According to Tian, in public schools in Australia a student should pay A$13,000 to A$15,000 ($10,000 to $12,000) a year.
“Now the exchange rate of the Australian dollar to renminbi is below five, which means the cost is lower than that of Chinese students studying at junior and senior high schools in many other hot places, such as Britain and the US,” said Tian.
Lin Lina from Beijing plans to send her daughter to a senior high school in Australia, was among them.
“My daughter is good at English and would like to study abroad early,” said Lin, whose daughter is now a ninth-grader in Beijing. “We came for more information after we learned that the environment and education in Australia are good.”
Eliza Chui, education officer for North Asia at the Australian Consulate-General in Shanghai, said that Australia is attractive not only because it provides an environment for learning English, but also because students are trained to have critical (批判性的) thinking and be independent.
1．According to Tian Litie, we know that ______.

C．Chinese students are only allowed to study in Australia from senior high school

2．What does the word “it” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Australia allows Chinese students to study in its schools.
B．More and more Chinese students go abroad at a younger age.
C．More Chinese junior and senior high school students will study in Australia.
D．Australian schools offer Chinese students and their parents one more good choice.
3．Lin Lina plans to send her daughter to Australia because ______.
A．her daughter has travelled to Australia before
B．she can’t afford to send her daughter to other countries
C．her daughter is an independent student with critical thinking
