A
13、She was returning from teaching out in a small community . It was a moonless night, and a heavy snow was falling.
She remembered back to when she had first started teaching out in small communities. In those days she had always picked up hitchhikers (搭便车者), until the day her sister told her of a friend who had been shot (中枪) in the head by a hitchhiker, all because she had stopped out of kindness to help him during a storm.
Her family didn’t become concerned (关心的) about her safety over the hitchhikers until the family heard the promise: “No more hitchhikers!” The snow that night was making her think back to this.
Then she saw a man waving. She slowed down for him, but now as he ran toward the car in the dark she shook with fear. Yet she thought that if he was truly in need she couldn’t leave him here in this storm.
The stranger explained that his car was dead, and she told him to get in. They drove for an hour into the next city and she took him to a telephone booth (公用电话亭). She waited until he had made a call. When he reported back to her that a family member would soon come for him, she wished him well and left.
______________________________________________________“I hope they’ll understand why I had to break my promise,” she thought.

14、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
Extracurricular(课外的) School Activities
Many schools today provide various extracurricular activities. Some activities are before school, some are after school, and a few may even take place on weekends. Many parents like their children to take part in these activities. Yet some parents are still a little dubious about it. Actually, these activities have many advantages for students. It is a wise choice for parents to allow students to get involved in extracurricular activities at school. It can help students to develop many working skills, people skills, and more.
When students get involved in extracurricular activities, they get involved in different interests. These activities allow them to develop various interests that they may have.
It also helps to raise the self-esteem(自尊) of students. Many students feel worthless or there is nothing they are good at. Everyone wants to find something that they are really good at, and extracurricular activities provide the opportunity for them.
Students can also learn relationship skills. They need to get involved in social activities and learn how to act properly in social situations. These activities give them a chance outside of school to do this, while they are still supervised(监督) by adults.
Of course, while there are many excellent benefits of extracurricular activities for students, you need to consider how much is too much. It can be a great choice to get involved in a few different activities, but too many activities can have negative(消极的) effects. If students take part in too many activities, they often have problems in their studies. They may not get enough rest. They may not have time to relax. It’s important for students to set some limits to extracurricular activities. Students can pick out a couple of their favorites and make sure they can handle(处理) them. Some kids feel like they have to take part in many activities to be a success, and this is not good to them.
When students get involved in extracurricular activities, there are certainly excellent benefits that they’ll enjoy. They are doing it for their future success. It’s important that students don’t try to “do it all”.
1．The underlined part “dubious about” in Paragraph 1 probably means “______”.
A．crazy about B．interested in
C．doubtful about D．confident in
2．From the passage we can learn that ______.
A．most extracurricular activities take place on weekends

C．students feel worthless in extracurricular activities
D．extracurricular activities are supervised by adults

15、What would you say when we told you that you could learn to speak a new language in only 7 days? Pretty unbelievable, right? But how could it be? To find out, we spoke to David－one of our brave Babbel learners－to see how the Babbel app successfully got him speaking Norwegian(挪威语) in just one week.
How much time did you learn each day?
I didn’t need to give my whole life over to learning Norwegian. Each Babbel lesson takes only 15 minutes, and I set myself the achievable aim of finishing three Babbel lessons daily. This took 45 minutes each day.
How did the Babbel app help you learn so quickly?
The Babbel app has a course plan for beginners that taught me how to make sentences in Norwegian within the first few days. Then I was able to personalize my learning by choosing single-topic lessons on eating, drinking, music, culture, travelling and so on. This allowed me to quickly enlarge(扩大) my vocabulary!
This way of learning kept me highly active, and made sure I wasn’t bored to tears(眼泪) with grammar practice that we all remember from school!
“After 7 days I was able to introduce myself in Norwegian, talk about my hobbies and interests, and most importantly, communicating with a native(本国的) Norwegian speaker in a real conversation and I could even play a joke or two!”
Would you introduce this app to others?
Certainly! Babbel has 14 languages to choose from, so if you’re thinking about brushing up on your German for a business trip, or learning a bit of Portuguese(葡萄牙语) for next year’s summer vacation, you’ll be happy to hear that you only need an app, 7 days of learning to get you conversational.
1．The Babbel app is used for people to _______.
A．speak with natives B．learn foreign languages
C．do international business D．plan a vacation abroad
2．How did the Babbel app help David learn quickly?
A．It took him little time every day.
B．It provided him with 14 languages.
C．It gave him daily grammar practice.
D．It offered lessons according to his needs.
3．The example of David is used in the passage to show that _______.
A．hard work matters a lot B．Babbel app sells well
C．Norwegian is easy to learn D．Babbel app really helps
