　　Nellie was a black child going to a school in Arkansas, in which the students were mostly poor African-American children．Thanks to the aid of a fund, grade one students could enjoy a special reading project：after finishing reading through a book, a child is allowed to take home a book, cassette and walkman on weekends as a reward, so that he or she will have an extra chance of study．

　　Friday came．Nellie, holding the reward she had won, went home happily．According to the rule, the child should bring back to school the things taken home at the weekend the next Monday．

　　Nellie didn’t hand them in to school on Monday．When asked why, she said “I…I…I f-o-r-got…” and then fell silent．Three weeks passed but the book, cassette and walkman still didn’t come back．

　　One day, however, Nellie’s mother came to school with the book, cassette and walkman．She explained to the teacher why Nellie hadn’t brought them back．

　　“When Nellie came back from school that day and told me that she was learning to read, I simply couldn’t believe, for, you see, before her none of my family was able to read．

　　“I was very young when I gave birth to Nellie, so I had to give up school．When Nellie read to me the book I was surprised．I asked her how she managed it．She said, ‘It is quite easy．I just follow the teacher in the cassette again and again until I can read myself．’In the beginning, I didn’t believe her, but I decided to have a try to see if I could also learn to read．That’s why Nellie didn’t return the reading materials．”

　　She paused and then asked, “May I read to you?”

　　So in front of her daughter this young mother began reading aloud her daughter’s book to her daughter’s teacher, tears on her face all the time．

Where do foods get their names？

　　Some foods take their names from the people who invented them．The sandwich is a common lunch food．It took its name from James Montague．Montague lived in the 1700s．He was the Fourth Earl of Sandwich．Sandwich is an area in England．Montague liked to play cards very much．One day, he was playing in a very exciting card game．It was so exciting that he didn't want to leave the table and eat his lunch．He told his servant to bring him some meat between two slices of bread．According to the story, Montague thought he discovered a convenient way to eat a meal．He could eat his dinner and go on with his card game at the same time! That was the beginning of the sandwich．If you like sandwiches, you can thank John Montague for his invention．

　　It's a Friday night．Your girl friends are out at a bar and your boyfriend is playing soccer with his mates．Two text messages later, you're eating pizza and watching action movies with three guy friends．Perfect．

　　"Guy friends" have the potential to enrich your life in ways that female friends and boyfriends just can't．For starters, they provide an insider's perspective on how men think, feel and behave．When dealing with male relatives, coworkers and even boyfriends, another man's point of view can be incredibly useful．Three hours spent analyzing a situation in a cafe with your girlfriends can't compete with a quick chat to a guy friend．

　　Many women find that time spent with male friends can be a liberating and somewhat refreshing break from spending time with the girls．Without the judgmental gaze of other females, there is less pressure to dress up and compete for attention．

　　Traditionally, girl-guy friendships are seen as hard to maintain．Most relationships between males and females that we come across in our day-to-day lives, whether in movies or books, are romantic by nature．These cultural images make girl-guy．friendships seem impossible．

　　Yet in reality, as gender roles loosen and equality becomes a norm in the workplace, it has become much more common for platonic friendships to blossom．

　　"The belief that men and women can't be friends comes from another era in which women were at home and men were in the workplace, and the only way they could get together was for romance," explains psychologist Linda Sapadin to Psychology Today magazine．"Now they work together and share sports interests and socialize together．"

　　"My boyfriend has met all of my guy friends so he's quite accepting of me hanging out with them," says Nellie．"Because we've been dating so long, 'there's a．level of trust where he knows I will make the right decision when choosing who to be friends with．

　　"He understands that the kind of time that I spend differs between guys and girls．When I'm out with the girls, we're gossiping or talking about clothes but when I'm spending time with the guys, it's different I think their carefree and 'whatever goes' attitude can sometimes be exactly what I need．"

(1)

The main purpose of this passage is to tell us that ________．
[　　]
A．	Platonic friendship can be fun and liberating
B．	Platonic friendship can take the place of boy-or-girl friendship
C．	man friendship is far more exciting than woman friendship
D．	both man friendship and woman friendship are necessary for girls

In the writer's opinion, girl-guy friendships ________
[　　]
A．	are hard to maintain in modem society．
B．	are impossible for most boys and girls．
C．	are quite reasonable and thought highly of by most people．
D．	are quite interesting and accepted by more and more girls．

(3)

Why did people think men and women can't be friends in the past?
[　　]
A．	Because men were at home and women were in the workplace．
B．	Because both men and women are too shy to make friends．
C．	Because they were hard to keep in touch and only by marrying can they stay in touch with each other．
D．	Because women were at home and men were in the workplace, and the only way they could get together was for friendship．

(4)

According to what Nellie said, ________
[　　]
A．	her boyfriend doesn't mind that she stays together with her guy friends because he knows all her friends．
B．	her boy friend will make the decision when she chooses who to be friends with．
