Long long ago, there was a kind lady. Every day, she baked bread for her family and an extraloaf for any hungry passer-by. She placed the extra bread beside a window. When the woman

This went on, day by day.
Finally, the woman became so angry that she decided to get rid of the tramp. She added poison

at what I’ve done!” She immediately threw the bread into fire and made another one.
As usual, the tramp came and picked up the bread. “The evil you do remains with you. The
good you do comes back to you,” he said again and left.
That evening, there was a knock on the door. Surprisingly, the woman’s son was standing in
the doorway. He was tired and weak. “Mom, it’s a miracle that I can come back home! While I
was only a mile away, I was so hungry that I almost gave up. But just then an old tramp gave me a
loaf of bread. He said that the bread was his food every day. But today, I should get the bread, for I
needed the bread much more than he did!”

How can I win a Nobel Prize for writing? Here’s the secret from this year’s winner: make it
short, keep it real, and work hard.
Canadian author Alice Munro, 82, was a 81 the 2013 Nobel Prize in literature (文学). She
is known for her short stories about personal
relationships of ordinary people, usually women.
Munro was born in a farmer family in
Ontario. The family was very poor. Munro did a
lot of physical work a 82 a young girl.
But she decided to be a w 83 when she
was 12. She turns her hard childhood into great
writing ideas.
The story Dear Life, for example, opens with
a description of the neighborhood in which
Munro grew up.
B 84 , she talked about her poor relationship with her mother in many of her stories, such as
Lives of Girls and Women and Friend of My Youth.
Since she p 85 her first book in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize
as her biggest honor. But Munro doesn’t see h 86 as a talented writer.
“I’m the opposite of a writer with a quick gift. I don’t grasp it very readily (轻而易举地) at
all, the ‘it’ being whatever I’m trying to do,” she said.
Do you d 87 of becoming a writer while sadly admitting you are not that talented? Munro
has a tip for you: use notebooks and write a lot.“I have lots of notebooks that contain this terribly clumsy (蹩脚的) writing,” she said. But it
helps her sort out her mind. “Stories would just be working in my head for so long that when I
started to write I was deep into them.”
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)
PISA is not the same as pizza, although both words are pronounced the same by Chinese.
Pizza, of course, is the tasty Italian dish of crispy bread topped with many wonderful flavors.
PISA, on the other hand, is just a test, a reflection of the knowledge you learn in school. And how
could that possibly be as flavorful as pizza?!
PISA stands for Programme for International Student Assessment. It’s a test taken every
three years by fifteen-year-olds worldwide. It tests students’ ability in math, reading and science.
Last year’s results were just released and they show that Shanghai students are ranked number one
in the world. Yes, that’s right! Shanghai students are the best in the world!
Shanghai students are the best because they are also the hardest working. No other students
in the world put in as many hours of study, homework and test taking as Shanghai students. And
few others feel the stress of schoolwork like Shanghai students.
That’s why the Shanghai education authority is encouraging students to step away from their
books from time to time and take up hobbies or join clubs. Schools are setting aside time and
providing facilities so that students can follow some personal interests such as photography, art,
singing and dancing. They want students to have a little more flavor in their lives.
Doing well on the tests like PISA is important, but developing yourself as a whole person is
also important. There is no end to the flavor you can add to pizza, and there should be no limit to
the amount of flavors you can add to your own life.
88. Is PISA pronounced that same as pizza by Chinese?
89. What does PISA stand for?
90. How often is PISA taken?
91. What did the last year’s results show?
92. Why is the Shanghai education authority encouraging students to step away from their books?
93. Is it a good idea that schools are setting aside time and providing facilities for the students?
Why or why not?

you to the Tower of London.
Going around the city center on foot is easy. The maps in the streets will show you what is
around you in five-minute walk. You can get a great view of the city from 135 meters up on a huge
wheel, the London Eye. Look across the river and you will see the Houses of Parliament and the
famous clock tower, Big Ben.
There are over 240 museums in the capital, but the two most popular are in South Kensington
and cost nothing to get into. In the Natural History Museum, the key word is Big. Next to it is the
Science Museum. It has those great British inventions, the history of flight and exploration (探索)

According to one story the idea for making the first teddy bear came from a newspaper
cartoon drawn in 1904. This cartoon showed President Teddy Roosevelt on a hunting trip refusing
to shoot (射杀）a young bear. The young bear became a symbol for Teddy Roosevelt.
Morris Michtom owned a small candy and toy store in New York City. He and his wife made
many of the toys they sold. When he saw the cartoon， he had a wonderful idea. He decided to
make a toy bear with eyes and legs and arms that moved. The bear was put in the store window
next to a copy of the cartoon. Mr . Michtom called it “Teddy’s Bear”.
Many of these bears were sold. The bears became so popular that Mr . Michtom thought he might
need President Roosevelt' permission to use his name. He wrote to the president and sent him a
“Teddy Bear”. The president answered，saying that Mr. Michtom could use his name.
Mr . Michtom borrowed money so that he could make thousands of toy bears. His company
became the Ideal Toy Corporation. Today this is one of the biggest toy companies in the United
States.
