24、The first thing that disturbed us was that advertisement. Spaulding came into the office 8 weeks ago, with this paper in his hand, and he said: “I wish, Mr. Wilson, that I was a red-headed man.”

“Why?” I said.

“Because,” he said, “there’s another vacancy1at the League of Red-Headed Men. It’s worth a fortune to2the man who gets it, and I understand that there are more vacancies than there are men.”

“Why? What is this ‘League?’ I asked. You see, Mr. Holmes, I am a very stay-at-home. My business comes to me and I am often weeks on end without putting my foot over the door-mat. So I don’t know what is going on outside, and I am always happy to hear some news.”

“Have you never heard of the League of Red-headed Men?” he asked with his eyes open.

“Never.”

“Why? That is strange, for you are eligible3for one of the vacancies.”

“And what are they?” I asked.

“Oh, each vacancy pays a couple of hundred pounds a year. But there is little work to do.”

“Well, you can be sure that I was interested. My business was not very successful, and I liked the thought of an extra couple of hundred pounds.”

“Tell me all about it.” I said.

“Well,” he said, showing me the advertisement, “you can see yourself that the League has a vacancy. Here is the address where you can apply for details. The League was founded by an American millionaire, Ezekiah Hopkins, who was very strange in his ways. He was red-headed, and he had a great sympathy for4 all red-headed men. So, when he died, he left his money to a group of trustees, with instructions to give the money to men with red hair. It is good pay and there is very little to do.”

“But,” I said, “there are millions of red-headed men who can apply.”

“Not as many as you think,” he answered. “You see it only for Londoners, and grown men. This American came from London, and he wanted to do something good for the old town. And, I have heard, you can’t apply if your hair is light red, or dark red, or anything but real bright, blazing fiery red. Your hair is perfect, Mr. Wilson, if you want to apply. But perhaps it’s not worth your while applying for just a couple of hundred pounds. ”

—Taken from the Red-Headed League

【1】According to this passage, why does Ezekiah Hopkins start the Red-Headed League?

A．Because he had little work to do every day.

B．Because he had too much money and didn’t know what to do with it.

C．Because the harder he worked, the greater progress he made.

D．Because he had great sympathy for all red-headed men.

【2】You don’t need ________ before you join the league ?

A．to be an adult

B．to be from London

C．to have enough money

D．to have bright red hair

【3】What does the word “founded” in the paragraph mean?

A．looked

B．set up

C．looked after

D．taken up

【4】Which of the following sentences is right ?

A．A millionaire for the UK founded the Red-Headed League.

B．The vacancy pays hundreds of pounds but there’s a little work to do.

C．Spaulding knew what happened outside though he stayed at home all day long.

D．Ezekiah Hopkins left his money to anyone who could join the league.

【5】The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A．anyone who apply for the vacancy can get several hundred pounds

B．someone with red hair can apply for the vacancy

C．who can become a member of the Red-Headed League

D．what the people (who apply for the vacancy) should do before applying

27、   What are the hottest English words these years? “Selfie” may be one of them. It was even named Word of the Year by Oxford Dictionaries(牛津词典) in 2013. The word was first used in an Australian online forum(论坛) in2002. Now, almost everybody knows it.

They hope to make friends and share their feelings with others. “During summer vacation, my classmates and I shared many selfies online. Through these photos, we got to know each other’s holidays and feelings,” said Wang Lin, 15, from Henan. “I’m too shy to ask someone to take pictures of me, but it’s easier to do it by myself.”

Although taking selfies is popular among young people around the world, they should be careful at the places where they take selfies. People are warned not to take light-hearted(轻松的) selfies in serious places, such as in some traffic accidents. In order to protect art works, selfie is banned in some museums and galleries(画廊), too.
