Compassion(同情，怜悯) is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register（收款机）with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash (现金), had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Change it to me, ” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
1.The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits_________ .
A．hoped to have the food first and pay later
B．promised to obey the store rules
C．forgot to take any money with him
D．could not afford anything more expensive
2.Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?
A．kind and lucky B．friendly and helpful
C．poor and lonely D．hurt and disappointed
3.The writer acted according to the store rules because_________ .
A．he felt no pity for the old gentleman
B．he considered the old man dishonest
C．he expected someone else to pay for the old man
D．he wanted to keep his present job
4.What does the writer learn from his experience?
A．Wealth is more important than anything else
B．Experience is better gained through practice
C．Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
D．Helping others is easier said than done

Music is the universal language to all human beings, it plays a very important part in our life. It can make us life more colourfully and help us to relax ourselves. Without music, our world would be as a wild desert.

Etymology, the study of words and word roots, may sound like the kind of thing done by boring librarians in small, dusty rooms． Yet etymologists actually have a uniquely interesting job． They are in many ways just like archaeologists （考古学家） digging up the physical history of people and events． The special aspect of etymology is that it digs up history, so to speak, through the words and phrases that are left behind．
The English language, in particular, is a great field to explore history through words As a language, English has an extraordinary number of words． This is partly due to its ability to adapt foreign words so readily． For example, " English" words such as kindergarten （from German）, croissant （from French）, and cheetah （from Hindi） have become part of the language with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings． So English-language etymologists have a vast world of words to explore．
Another enjoyable thing about etymology for most word experts is solving word mysteries（谜）． No, etymologists do not go around solving murders, like the great detective Sherlock Holmes． What these word experts solve are mysterious origins of some of our most common words
One of the biggest questions English language experts have pursued is how English came to have the phrase OK． Though it is one of the most commonly used expressions, its exact beginning is a puzzle even to this day． Even its spelling is not entirely consistent-unless you spell it Okay, it is hard even to call it a word．
Etymologists have been able to narrow OK’s origin down to a likely, although not certain, source（来源）． It became widely used around the time of Martin Van Buren's run for president in 1840． His nickname was Old Kinderhook． What troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before Van Buren became well known． It is likely that Van Buren could be called its primary source Etymologists will doubtlessly keep searching for the initial source． However, it is clear that OK’s popularity and reputation have topped those of the American president to whom it has been most clearly linked．
1.The author mentions the words like "croissant" in Paragraph 2 to indicate ．
A． words have changed a lot in the two languages
B． what English-language etymologists are exploring now
C． English has absorbed many words from other foreign languages
D． the English vocabulary is difficult to the non-English-speaking people
2.The underlined word "pursued" in Paragraph 4 means ．
A． looked upon B． dug up
C． put in D． set down
3.We can learn from the passage that etymologists ．
A． discover the possible origin of words
B． help detectives to solve mysterious murders
C． write interesting stories for some newspapers
D． explore the English language as well as the recent events
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A． To present the history of English words
B． To explain the procedure of an etymologist's job
C． To introduce the pleasure of the study of words and word roots．
D． To teach readers how to distinguish English and non-English words

Across the rich world, well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled. Some 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the workforce, compared with 32% of men with only a high-school certificate. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-education well off and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individual and society, are profound.
The world is facing as astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.
But the notion of a sharp division between the working young and the idle old misses a new trend, the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled. Employment rates are falling among younger unskilled people, whereas older skilled folk are working longer. The divide is most extreme in America, where well-educated baby-boomers (二战后生育高峰期出生的美国人) are putting off retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce.
That even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to reap rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding generation. Technological change may well reinforce that shift: the skills that complement computers, from management knowhow to creativity. Do not necessarily decline with age.
1.what is happening in the workforce in rich countries?
A. younger people are replacing the elderly
B. well-educated people tend to work longer
C. unemployment rates are rising year after year
D. people with no college degree do not easily find work
2.what has helped deepen the divide between the well-off and poor?
A. Longer life expectancies
B. Profound changes in the workforce
C. rapid technological advance.
D. A growing number of well-graduated.
3.what do many observers predict in view of the experience of the 20th century?
A. Economic growth will slow down.
B. Government budgets will increase.
C. More people will try to pursue higher education
D. There will be more competition in the job market.
4.What is the result of policy changes in European countries?
A. Unskilled workers may choose to retire early.
B. more people have to receive in-service training.
C. Even wealthy people must work longer to live comfortably in retirement.
D. People may be able to enjoy generous defined-benefits from pension plans.
5.What is characteristic of work in the 21st century?
A. Computers will do more complicated work.
B. More will be taken by the educated young.
C. Most jobs to be done will be creative ones.
D. Skills are highly valued regardless of age.
