26、   When my family moved to the United States from Colombia, I was 9 years old and knew little about English. As time passed, teachers finally knew all of their students and slowly everyone began to head inside, except for me. No one called out my name, and no one seemed to know I existed. I spent the next month in my new classroom quietly. I felt a wave of fear, loneliness and sadness came over me.

It turned out the school administration never cared that I didn't speak English, but something else was teaching me English. Every morning when my aunt drove me to school and picked me up, she always had 106.7 Light FM on. It was this station that introduced my young ears to the English sounds of R&B, soul, jazz and much more.

Because of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, I learned the difference between "witch" and "which". While watching the TV show South Park, I was attracted by the funny characters. I related "You bastards!” to anger and saved it in my mental word bank. In fact, thanks to pop culture, the world of English became not so hard to me while it was being turned down at school.

I also learned how to express my emotions thanks to pop culture. One day at school, we were taking a math quiz and the whole class was quiet. Suddenly, the tip of my pencil broke and I yelled, “You bastards!" Everyone held their breath in surprise and I laughed to myself because something at that moment told me I had just learned my first bad word in English.

Four months passed before the school placed me into an ESL program. By this time, I was speaking broken English and making myself understood. Finally, I learned how to speak and write English at a more advanced level, and I owe it all to pop culture.

28、   New York factories in the early 1900s were busy and dangerous places to work. Most factories were housed in brick buildings that were overly hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter. Workers at the time often worked more than 12 hours each day, receiving few breaks and no overtime pay. The floors were crowded with people and equipment, and the doors were often locked to prevent employees from leaving early. In fact, most factory owners and managers mistreated those who asked for changes or directly fired them. The people in charge believed that they did not owe anything more than a paycheck to their workers.

Everything changed when a fire broke out at the Triangle shirtwaist factory in 1911. During that tragic event, about a quarter of the workers (mostly young immigrant women) lost their lives. The factory workers, located on the ninth floor of the building, could not get the door open. The fire escape led only to flames below. The fire truck ladders were not long enough, nor were the water hoses (水管). Fire nets were inadequate.

After the fire, people marched and protested in order to change conditions in factories. Many large protests took place in New York. Eventually, politicians took up the cause, and legislators (立法者) passed workplace laws regulating child labor and the number of workers allowed on a floor. They also called for sprinkler systems (自动喷水系统) to be placed in all factories. The rights of workers were important and valuable.

Today, working in a factory is still a demanding, difficult, and often dangerous job. The victims of the Triangle shirtwaist factory did not die in vain, however. Because of their experience, the workplace was forever changed for the better.

【1】Which best explains the cause of the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire?

A．The quality of the factory building.

B．The lack of worker safety at the factory.

C．The involvement of politicians.

D．The inexperience of the workers.

【2】Because of the Triangle shirtwaist factory fire, _______.

A．employers were given more control

B．sprinkler systems were invented

C．many laws were passed to protect workers

D．factories in New York closed

【3】Why did people most likely protest after the fire?

A．The women who died were wealthy.

B．Factories were the best places to work.

C．Shirtwaists were hard to find after the fire.

D．The tragedy could have been avoided.

【4】It can be learnt from the text that the fire_______.

A．brought the reform in the working conditions

B．caused little damage to the factory

C．became a turning point for politicians

D．took place on the ninth floor of the building

29、It was New Year time, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. That winter, my mother and my stepfather moved our family to Southern California. My brother and I were leaving our rural Alabama behind. This would be our first New Year away from Alabama. My mother took to California like a swan to a royal lake. My athletic little brother, Paul, was keyed up at a climate that allowed him to go to the beach whenever he wanted.

I, however, was a fat child with heavy southern pronunciation. On my first day in the new class, I introduced myself in a low voice. All I said was my name and where I was from. The class burst into laughter, “He talks funny.” I was so helpless that I went to place a call to Granny Smith after school, who was my biggest support. But I didn’t get through.

On Sunday evening, the phone rang. It was Granny. She often took advantage of the discounted long-distance rates on Sundays. She said she’d shipped a New Year package. Sure enough, it arrived. Surprised at the box, large enough to hold a small refrigerator, we eagerly tore it open. The smell of Granny’s house filled the room: a combination of fried meat, sausages, furniture polish and decorations. Her house was tiny and always filled with tacky holiday decorations and homemade food before New Year. But in my childhood eyes, it was precious and fantastic.

There were countless tins and containers. We opened them to discover piles of holiday treats. She even included our traditional candy bars. The box was as bottomless as a magical box. There, beneath all these, was my familiar holiday.

Every New Year that we spent in California, the postal service could call and say our package arrived. Over the years, many treasures arrived in the box. For me, it’s always been the best part of the holiday.

【1】Which statement is true according to the passage?

A．The author wasn’t surprised at the package’s arrival from Granny.

B．My little brother disliked the climate of Southern California.

C．My mother took us to a lake to see a swan after we moved to California.

D．The box was in poor quality, even without a bottom.

【2】Why did the author’s classmates laugh at him?

A．He looked overweight.

B．He made a humorous talk.

C．He had a strong accent.

D．He spoke in a very low voice.

【3】Which of the following best describe Granny?

A．Patient and determined.

B．Lonely and grateful.

C．Selfless and confident.

D．Economical and caring.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A．Our Move to California

B．Granny’s Care Package

C．An Unforgettable Holiday

D．A Telephone Call from Granny
