Elizabeth lived on the side of a valley. One winter, there was a big flood and a lot of houses down below hers were washed away. When the water had disappeared and the other houses were standing there with no roofs and no walls and all covered with mud, her house was still quite all right.
Her house was quite small, her husband was dead, and she had six children, but she took in one of the families that lost everything in the flood and she shared her home with them until it was possible for them to build their house again.
Elizabeth's friend was very puzzled when she saw her do this. The friend of hers couldn't understand why she wanted to give herself so much more work and trouble when she already had so many children to support.
“Well , ” Elizabeth explained to her friend. “at the end of the First World War , a woman in the town where I then lived in Germany found herself very poor, because her husband had been killed in the war and she had a lot of children, as I have now. The day before Christmas, this woman said to her children, ‘We won't be able to have much for all of us. Now I'll go and get it. ’She came back with a little girl who was even poorer than they and who had no mother as well as no father. ‘Here's our present,’she said to the children. The children were very excited and happy to get such a present. They welcomed the little girl , and she grew up as their sister. I was that Christmas present. ”

In Europe, men do not usually wear skirts. But the Scottish national clothing for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt. The Scottish like to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. That's why the men still wear kilts at traditional (传统的) dances and on national holidays. They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear.
That's what they believe. However, kilts are not really so old. Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt; the kilt. That's how the first kilt was made.
Then, in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment ( = feelings) . The Scottish soldiers wanted to be different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason. A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find! The Scottish soldier fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part of the fame, and in the early 1800s men all around Scotland began to wear kilts.
These kilts had colorful stripes (条纹) going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. For example, men from the Campbell family had kilts with green, yellow and blue stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the color they liked best.
This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colors are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts!
1．This text is mainly about ________.
2．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The English soldiers were the first to wear kilts.
B．It was hard then to tell the Scottish soldiers from the English ones apart from the clothes.

D．The factory owner made the first kilt from long shirts to make his workers different from others.
3．Scottish soldiers were dressed in kilts partly because of ________.
4．The colors of the kilts are ________.
[ ]
A．not part of the Scottish family history
B．older than the Scottish family history
C．for the Campbell family only
D．mainly green, yellow and blue
5．From the last paragraph we can infer that ________.
[ ]
A．the European people are full of strong feelings
B．there are no stories about kilts in Scotland today
C．the British like to do things on feelings, not on facts
D．the Scottish prefer to keep their tradition rather than believe the fact

In the United States, boys and girls start school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name for secondary school is high school.
Most children go to public elementary (初小) and secondary school. The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay directly (直接地) for their children's education because tax (税)money supports the public schools. If a child attends a private (私立) school, his parents pay the school for the child's education.
Today about half of the high school graduates go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive tax money from the governments. A student at a state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are expensive. However, almost half of the colleges students in the United States work while they are studying. When a student's family isn't rich, he has to earn money for part of his college expenses.
