阅读下列短文，根据要求完成下列题目。

Miss Wen is my favourite teacher. (A)She began to teach us Chinese three years ago. She is a young girl with long, black hair and a beautiful smile. When she came to our school, I was not a good student in our class. I always failed（没有通过） the tests.

Miss Wen spent a lot of time with our class, but I never had a chance to talk to her. I thought I was just nobody in my class and Miss Wen didn’t like me. But I knew I was wrong later.

One day, Miss Wen asked me to meet her at the school gate. When I got there, she was waiting for me already. Then we went to the park in the school together. (B)Talking alone with my teacher made me excited. She smiled at me and told me that I was quiet but I could write wonderful stories. She told me that I could be a good student. 

Today, Miss Wen doesn’t teach us any more, but I still want to say that she taught me the most important lesson of my life: to believe in myself.

When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.
One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my back and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn’t afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother to wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me, “You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?” I did not know how to answer that question. He continued, “It’s OK if you can’t find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother.” Then he sent us to mum’s workplace by taxi.
My whole life I have depended on the kindness of many strangers, I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you. I do not even remember what the man’s face looked like, but he taught me a lesson—people are more important than things.

       Who hasn’t enjoyed eating peanuts? Did you know that although peanuts look like nuts and taste like nuts, they aren’t nuts at all? They belong to the pea family, so they are called peanuts. The peanut grows flowers above ground, but its “fruit” grows underground. It grows in more countries than most other “nuts”.

The peanut is a native South American plant. Scientists believe that it grew wild in Brazil long ago. They think that for several thousand years the early peoples of South America made it a part of their diet. These peoples were nomads who moved on when a natural food could no longer be found in one area. Along the way they probably let fall some peanuts, which got into the ground and grew. This is believed to be the way the plant reached the place where the Incas（印加人）lived. The Incas, from about 1100 to 1532, thought highly of peanuts. The peanuts were eaten in several forms and used as sacrificial offerings（祭品）to the Incan Sun God. Later in the 16^th century, European soldiers had brought peanuts to other parts of the world, including North America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Pacific Islands.

Although peanuts were found native in South America, they are now grown in almost every country that has warm weather. India produces the most peanuts. China’s production is next, followed by the United States.

The peanut is special in more ways than one. It can be eaten raw, boiled, roasted, or fried. Hundreds of widely different products have been made from it. Carver, an American scientist, set himself the task of discovering new uses for eating and for many other products.

Peanuts are very highly nutritious and are also high in protein （蛋白质）. Americans use about seven-tenths of their protein in the form of meat. In India, where the poor can’t pay for meat or milk, peanut meal and peanut milk have been produced. These have been a great help to the poor.

New products are continually being made from peanuts, among them peanut cheese and a powder that becomes peanut butter when water is added. The fact is that peanuts are so healthy that they were used by astronauts. The unusual nut that isn’t a nut is one of nature’s most amazing gifts.

1. Although we like eating peanuts, many of us don’t know peanuts belong to _______ family.

A．the pea

B．the nut

C．both the pea and the nut

D．neither the pea nor the nut

2. Which paragraph（段落）mainly talks about the history of the peanut?

A．Paragraph Four	B．Paragraph Three
C．Paragraph Two	D．Paragraph One

3.What does the underlined word nutritious mean?

A．Helpful for staying healthy.	B．Helpful to the poor.
C．Delicious and tasty.	D．Rich in fat and oil.

4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?

A．Nomads always stayed in the same place.

B．The peanut was first found in South America.

C．Astronauts ate lots of peanuts to keep healthy.

D．China grows fewer peanuts than the US.

5.What is the purpose of the article?

A．To show that peanuts belong to the pea family.

B．To advise us to use more peanut products.
