13、 For the past over forty years, Billy Barr has been living alone in Gothic, Colorado, a US ghost town (遗弃的城镇）. He passed the time by recording all kinds of data about snowfalls, such as the temperature and the depth of the snow.
He never imagined that the results of his hobby would one day help scientists better understand global warming and make him get a cool superhero name-the Snow Guardian（守护者）.
Bur first came to Gothic in 1972 as a university student doing water chemistry research. He liked the quiet life here so much that he began to live here after finishing university.
Barn began the winter of 1974 camping in a tent. It was not exactly perfect in a place where snow reaches 7.6 metres a year. Luckily, the owner of a small old house was kind enough to let Barr move in. It became his home and he started his records on snow there.
The house was buried in the snow eight years after he moved in, but that didn't drive him away. He just found another place to stay and continued his research.
Though he spends most of his time alone, Barr doesn't consider himself lonely. He says, "I'm okay with the way things are. I mean, if I weren't, I would leave.”
1．Barn is called the Snow Guardian because .
A．he has solved the problem of global warming
B．he lives in Gothic alone and it snows all year round
C．he has recorded snowfalls in Gothic for over 40 years
D．he has become a superhero in American people's hearts
2．How long did Bars live in the small old house?
A．For two years. B．For four years.
C．For eight years. D．For over forty years.

14、One day, a farmer was walking along a road with his son Thomas. The father said, “Look! There’s a horseshoe. Pick it up and put it in your bag. ” Thomas said, “It isn’t worth the trouble.” His father said nothing but picked it up himself. When they got to a nearby town, they had a rest. There the farmer sold the horseshoe and with the few pennies he bought some cherries(樱桃).
The father and the son continued their way. The sun was well up in the sky, and there wasn’t a house or even a tree where they could have a rest. Thomas felt too thirsty to walk on. At this time, his father dropped a cherry on the ground and Thomas picked it up quickly and ate it. After a while, his father dropped another cherry and once again, his son lost no time in picking it up and putting it in his mouth.
And so they went on. The old farmer dropped the cherries and the son picked them up. When Thomas had eaten up all the cherries, his father said to him, “My dear son, if you had bent(弯腰)down early to pick up that horseshoe, it would not have been necessary for you to bend so many times for the cherries. Always remember the lesson, that he who does not worry about the little things will find that he cannot do the great things.”

16、China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.
However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.
The difference could be due to the different weather.
Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.

A．peel and cut them for you
B．laugh at you
C．only sell them in boxes and baskets

3．Many northern Chinese have the habit of keeping food because ________.
A．the weather is hot and wet
B．food goes bad quickly
C．the weather is cold and dry
D．they live far away from markets
