• 2．It's funny—as a writer，it's easy to share your knowledge，or your personal stories with an unknown listener of many.You think your friends and family may not read your articles.But as I began to talk more openly about Chinese traditions and food，I learned that they were interested，curious and really hungered for it.Their interest and curiosity grew and the culmination of their interest and curiosity was this past Spring Festival.They would like to spend the Spring Festival with me.It was an inconvenient Monday.I'd never had the Spring Festival when anyone but my father cooked.
     I took the day off work in a madness of last-minute preparation.I drove 45 minutes out of town to a Cantonese BBQ shop where I bought a whole roast duck （烤鴨） and watched，fascinated，as it was changed into bite sizes.I shopped at a faraway international market like madwoman，looking for Chinese vegetables and other foods that would be new for my guests I called my dad，asking for six-second pointers on how to make dishes I'd never made.I texted him pictures of the sea fish I picked out，and the red clothing they threw on for luck.
     In just a few hours，I cooked a dinner of 15 dishes for six friends who cared enough about me and my culture to come over on a cold winter Monday night to celebrate my tradition with me.We drank，ate and toasted the beautiful night.And that night，I felt what it was to be loved for my culture as well as our food.

• 3．Washing clothes by hand sounds like a simple task，but for many women around the world it can do harm to their well-being and living.What would you do with your time if you could spend less time washing your clothes？ "Paid work，" replied Aleas，a 49-year-old woman from a family of 10 with no access to an electric washing machine.She spent 8-12 hours every week washing everyone's clothes by hand and described how the required body position of sitting on her feet caused her back pain.
     Washing Machine Project provides low-income communities with an accessible washing solution.Its task is to help women save the time to take charge of their lives. "A mother or a child doesn't have to spend 20 hours a week washing clothes by hand，" said Nav Sawhney，an engineering student at University of Bath in the UK.
     Sawhney has created a movable washing machine that is operated by hand.He came up with the idea when Divya，a woman he met in southern India，explained the struggle of washing clothes without a machine.This burden is often shouldered by women and girls in many developing countries.Now，Sawhney's washing machines，which he named Divya after the woman，could greatly reduce the time of washing clothes and allow women and young girls to receive education and have paid work.
     After research in Iraq，Lebanon，the Philippines and Jordan，as well as India，Sawhney came up with a machine that uses only 10 liters of water every time，compared with 30 by a typical electric machine，extremely important in places where water is short.It's also made out of things that are easy to get and replace，which means it doesn't need much money to make it.Sawhney and his volunteers won the support of University of Bath，and already received orders from Kenya，Nigeria and Uganda.
  
  （1）What does washing clothes by hand mean to Aleas？

  
  A．A hard way of making a living.
  B．A simple method of killing time.
  C．The tiring housework she has to do.
  D．The family duty she volunteers to do.
  （2）Why was the washing machine named after Divya？

  
  A．She inspired the invention.
  B．She helped with the design.
  C．She was the first to order it.
  D．She thought up the idea first.
  （3）What can we learn about the washing machine "Divya"？

  
  A．It is cheap and water-saving.
  B．It is mainly promoted in India.
  C．It is shared by a community.
  D．It is free to use.
  （4）What is the main purpose of Sawhney's washing machines？

  
  A．To develop the market in developing countries.
  B．To reduce women's burden in low-income areas.
  C．To take the place of traditional washing machines.

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文．續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右．
      Deep in the forest， my husband and I had climbing over and crawling under the downed trees that blocked the dirt path before us． It was May， yet we walked up a snow-covered hill． When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees， it did not dampen our spirits． Not once did we say， "let's turn around．" This was our vacation， and we were on an adventure． Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises．
      The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometer hike， yet we were already walking a long distance． Our lightheartedness stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it． As my eyes scanned the surroundings， nothing looked familiar． My heart raced． I realized we were lost in a notional park that did not officially open for another week．
      Usually， I am the calm one in the relationship， but my husband surprised me with his calmness． This did not comfort me； In fact， it heightened my fear． As we walked， I asked my husband to call for help， but there was no cell-phone signal in this isolated（偏僻的）area．
      It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road， and my heavy breathing． My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower． With each step on the road， my feet and thighs hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days．
      My vision sharpened． I noticed everything around me： the trees， rocks and snow． I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water． For the first time in my life， I was ready and willing to get a ride， but we did not meet with a single car on the road． Silently， I prayed multiple times． We focused on each other， made joint decisions and connected through gratitude． We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on．
  Paragraph 1：
      My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance．__________
  Paragraph 2：
      Just then， a friendly woman appeared， saying， "Hello．"___________
