A doctor entered the hospital hurriedly after being called in for an important surgery （外科手术）．
He found the boy's father in the hall waiting worriedly．
On seeing him，the father cried out，"Why did you take all this time to come？Don't you know that my son is in danger？Don't you have any sense of duty？"
The doctor smiled and said，"I am sorry．I wasn't in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now，I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work．"
"Calm down？!What if your son was in this room right now？Would you calm down？If your own son dies while waiting for a doctor，then what will you do？"said the father angrily．The doctor smiled again and replied，"We will do our best and you should also pray （祈祷）for your son's healthy life．"
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy，"Thank goodness!Your son is saved!"And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running by saying，"If you have any questions，ask the nurse．"
"Couldn't he wait some minutes so that I can ask about my son's state？"shouted the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left．
The nurse answered，tears coming down her face．"His son died yesterday in a road accident．He was at the burial （葬礼） when we called him for your son's surgery．And now that he saved your son's life，he left running to finish his son's burial．"

The other picture had mountains too． But these were rugged（崎岖的） and bare（无遮蔽的）． Above was an angry sky． And it was raining and lightening． Down the side of the mountain， a waterfall fell quickly． This did not look peaceful at all．

In our culture， the ability to make one's own decisions is important． John F． Kennedy's quote（引语）"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought．" shows an unpleasant truth．
Much of what we know and believe has been taught to us by others， and we often accept this information without spending much time thinking it over for ourselves．
In today's world， we are being presented with information， ideas and beliefs， but many of them are against each other． Psychology（心理学）tells us that if we hear an idea enough times， or if it comes from someone we respect（尊敬）， we will probably believe that idea． In these cases， we base our opinions on the opinions of others． If each of us does not think about this information for ourselves and come to our own conclusions ， we will become nothing more than parrots（鹦鹉） quoting the opinions of others．
Examples of spreading fake news without thought can be seen on the Internet． Some people believe whatever they read and then share the story without thinking about the facts． All it takes is one quick click（点击）of the "share" button， and the story travels on its way to influence even more unthinking readers． This can cause serious problems．
If we just stop for a moment to think about what we read and hear， and form our own opinions， we will be more thoughtful， more independent， and more creative people， but few take that time． Yet we need not lose heart over this bad habit． In fact， simply becoming aware （意识到） of it is the first step towards correcting it． Once we become aware that we tend（趋向）to hold opinions and beliefs without thinking them through， we can change that pattern of behavior． Hopefully， we can learn to experience and enjoy the "discomfort of thought" and form our own opinions．
（1）What's the purpose of this passage？
A． To describe how Internet news spreads．
B． To explain why people don't have their own opinions．
C． To tell people that they should have their own thoughts．
D． To warn people not to believe other people's ideas．
（2）The underlined word "fake" in Paragraph 4 probably means ．
A． untrue
B． unhappy
C． unfair
D． unusual
（3）How can we have our own opinions according to the passage？
A． By spreading the information we receive．
B． By learning more about psychology．
C． By quoting others' opinions like parrots．
D． By thinking about what we read and hear．
（4）We can probably find this passage in a book about ．
A． history
B． education
C． sports
D． languages
In September，2020，I had the chance to come to China for the first time and visited Yunnan Province.
On the first day we went to a village named Xiaopingzhai.I was amazed to discover that small tea factory could bring in 6 million yuan a year with only 20 workers.

It was a cold，rainy day.My mother and I drove to the mountains.It was dangerous to make the two﹣hour journey along the highway in such weather.I didn't want to take the risk.But my mother advised that we go to see something at the top of the mountain.
After ten minutes' driving，we stopped the car and got out.Walking along a path，we turned at a comer.Gradually，the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind.From the top of the mountain，I saw several fields full of flowers，shining like a carpet （地毯）before us.It looked as if the sun spilled （播洒）gold down the mountain.

Mr． and Mrs． March lived together with their four daughters． Amy was very shy． Beth loved being at home． Meg looked very pretty． Jo was tall and thin and she was a tomboy.. Their home was always busy and full of noise and people． Next to them lived old Mr． Laurence and his grandson， Laurie． They lived in a very large and comfortable house． But it was a house without life．
One day， Joe saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden． Jo's sisters were playing in the snow there． They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun． But Laurie's face was very sad．
"Poor boy!" Jo thought． "He's all alone． He needs some friends．" She couldn't stop thinking about him． She wanted to go and see him， but how could she go to the house without an invitation？
Then one snowy afternoon， she saw Laurie's grandpa go out． This gave her an idea． She took a broom from the kitchen．
"What are you going to do， Jo？" asked her sister Meg．
"To clear the garden path．" Answered Jo．
When Laurie saw Jo from the window， a big smile changed his pale， sad face．
Jo laughed and shouted， "How are you？ Are you ill？"
Laurie opened the window and said，" I'm better now， thank you． I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week"．
"I'm sorry，" said Jo． "Are you bored？"
"Yes， very．" he replied．
"Don't your friends come to visit you？"
"No． But I don't want to see anybody． Boys are noisy and they give me a headache．"
"Girls are quiet．"
"I don't know any girls．"
"You know us．"
"That's true! Can you come and visit me？" cried Laurie．
" I'm not quiet， but I'd like to come，" replied Jo． "I must ask Mother first．" She ran back into her house．
A few minutes later， she returned and rang the bell on the door of laurie's house． A servane took her upstairs．
"Here I am!" she said brightly． "Mother sends her love and my sisters gave me this blancmange （牛奶冻） for you．"
"That looks delicious，" Laurie said． He was very happy to see Jo．
Jo looked around． There were lots of books on the shelves．
"A nice room!" she said． "I can read to you if you like．"
"No， let's talk，" replied Laurie．
"All right，" said Jo， "I can talk for hours． My sisters say I never know when to stop．"
"You have three sisters﹣Amy， Beth and Meg．" Laurie continued．
"How do you know this？" Jo was surprised．
"You call each other's names when you are in the garden． Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother． She has a very kind face． I like looking at her． I haven't got a mother．"
Jo felt sad when she heard this．
"Why don't you come and visit us？" she said， "It isn't good for you to stay in this house all the time．"
"Thank you． I'd like to come very much．" Said Laurie．
"We know all our neighbours except you．" Jo said， " I'm glad we're friends now．"
She told him about all the interesting things in her life． She said，" Besides（除了……之外） plays， I also love books．" Laurie loved books too， and offered to show her the library in the house． The library was a wonderful room． Jo loved it．
"Wow!" she said， "All those books!"
Laurie said， "A person needs more than books．"
