A
The King received news one day that a group outlaws were committing some wrong and cruel acts on a distant border of the kingdom.
The news angered the King. He quickly gathered his army and started off for the distant border, leaving his kingdom unguarded and without a ruler.
On their long march, the King and his army made camp for the night wherever they could. One rainy day they stopped in a forest, seeking shelter under the trees. They unsaddled（卸鞍） their horses and steamed some peas, which they fed to their steeds(战马) in long narrow containers.
A monkey in a tree nearby saw the horses being fed, and he came racing down, fille9d both paws with peas, then climbed quickly up to a branch and settled down to eat. But as he opened one paw, a single pea fell to the ground. Without hesitation, my monkey jumped from his branch to hunt for the lost pea, and in doing so，he dropped all the other peas in his paws.
The King observed this foolish monkey and was greatly amused. He turned to his minister and asked: "Friend, what do you think of this monkey who would give up so much to retrieve so little?" "That is the way of the foolish," replied the minister, "they will give up much that is certain for a little that is uncertain." Then he added, "And we, Great King, are we not like the monkey in the trees. To gain so little we neglect (忽略 ) so much exactly like the monkey with its pea.

B
Having three cancer patients in the same household can turn a whole family upside down. Michelle Bruce, her husband, Jeremy, and their son, Holden, all had cancer. The family moved to Michelle’s hometown of Franklin, Nebraska six years ago, so her parents could help.
Doctors found Holden’s brain tumor(肿瘤), when he was 12 years old. His family was living in a small town at the time, but there were related doctors in the state. Holden had two operations in Omaha clinic, both of which were tough.
When Holden’s cancer came back again in 2012, nothing could be done. But the family didn’t give up. They reached out to Boston Children’s Hospital, which has better equipment and doctors with more experience operating on kids. After looking at Holden’s records, the doctor sent back her diagnosis: She was confident that she could remove the tumor.
The family was beyond relieved, until they learned insurance wouldn’t cover any of the operation’s costs. The operation would cost $39,000 — more than the parents could afford. The family got desperate.
In a town of just 1,000 people, however, word traveled fast. Within days, a local woman Michelle had never met in person called to say she was planning an event to raise money for Holden. Michelle was touched.
The event was uplifting. Finally, the town raised $45,000 – enough to cover not just Holden’s hospital bills, but for Michelle and Jeremy’s trip to Boston with their son. “I just didn’t know what to say,” said Michelle. “Nobody could really believe it.”
Holden’s operation went much more smoothly than the first two. He is cancer-free and now is attending Central Community College-Hastings on a full-ride scholarship.
1、Where did Michelle’s parents live?
A．Florida. B．Boston.
C．Omaha. D．Franklin.
2、Why did Holden’s family go to Boston Children’s hospital?
A．Because it was near their home.
B．Because it had better equipment and doctors.
C．Because the medical expense there was cheaper.
D．Because they were familiar with the doctors there.
3、What was the feeling of the family when they learned the operation’s cost?
A．They were in despair.
B．They were very delighted.
C．They were very surprised.
D．They remained calm.
4、What is the best title of the passage?

B．Brave Boy Who Conquered His Cancer
C．1,000 People Saved A Teen’s Life

Swimming way to success
What does it take to graduate from a university? Many 1． say all you have to do is take classes and pass the exams Well, it requires more than it if you’re a student at Tsinghua University
Starting this September, freshmen at the university will have to take swimming courses If they fail a swimming test at the beginning of their university course, they won’t receive their degree 2． they can pass the test successfully, according to an announcement by Tsinghua University president Qiu Yong
Exceptions 3．(allow) for students with certain physical or mental conditions, if proved by medical staff
Liu Bo, head of the Division of Sports Science and Physical Education, explained 4． the university is linking swimming ability with degrees
“As a requisite(必要的) survival skill swimming is beneficial for students in the long run, since swimming is helpful in improving students’ endurance and is 5．(harmful) to joints(关节) and muscles as a water sport,” he told China Daily
Viewing the ability 6．(swim) as a must for students is not something new to this university - it was also a requirement in the early 20th century
It was later dropped 7．a rising number of students and a lack of facilities Besides Tsinghua University, Peking University and Xiamen University have also listed swimming as a compulsory course for students
However, the announcement has caused a heated debate
Some welcomed the new rule, saying it’s a necessary skill that can save lives “Swimming is a fundamental(基本的) skill It’s a way to stay healthy and is lifesaving in emergency situations I believe making 8． mandatory(强制的) is necessary,” Yuan Jiaxiang, a junior in Tsinghua’s Department of Civil Engineering, told China Daily
However, some said it has nothing to do with getting a degree “It’s not reasonable to require people to be able to swim for them to graduate,” Zheng Xiaoyu, a high school student from the Middle School Affiliated to Northern Jiaotong University, told China Daily “For a lot of people who grew up in inland cities, learning how to swim as an adult will be difficult”
In fact, Chinese universities are not the only education organizations 9． encourage their students to swim A few colleges in the United States - including Cornell, Columbia and MIT - offer swim classes to students “Anything 10．(prevent) people from dying needlessly is a valuable skill,” Fred DeBruyn, director of aquatics(水上运动) at Cornell, told The New York Times
