I stared at the paper,21 reading, couldn’ t help thinking.
Crocodiles are lazy animals as a rule,but they can move like lightening when they want to. And they don’ t mind hurrying 22 they’ re hungry. There used to be lots in Indian rivers, living on fish mostly;but what’ s a little fish for a fifteen-foot crocodile? They ate people,fisherman or anyone else delicious enough to get too near;women doing the 23,or children playing at the water’ s24 A hungry crocodile’ s mouth 25 over a meal with a sound like a gunshot. A big fellow can 26 in a man in two bites (咬).
That woman’ s husband crossed rivers 27 from one crocodile’ s back to the next. I believe it. It had to be done quickly before the creature could see what was happening. It wasn’ t 28 a brave, active man;and no doubt he improved with practice. He could never look 29 while crossing.
The wife used to watch him—I felt sure of that. She lived 30 the adventure, the 31 excitement of it all. Their real life was with tigers,snakes".It’s no wonder she wrote 32 poetry.
Then he died.I imagined how she felt. Was there another man 33 him in India, in the world? She was still young,hardly a sitting-room widow(寡妇)“I must 34 ,too. she said to herself. So she did what she felt she had to do. A 35 probably,to her head.
But her young son,their son? Was her love for him nothing compared to her husband? Well,what do you think?

On this evening, however, she was standing at her living-room window, staring out at the SOLD notice in the small front garden. Her feelings were mixed. Naturally she was sad at the thought of leaving the house, as it was full of so many memories. But at the same time she was looking forward to spending her last years near the sea, back in the little seaside town where she had been born. With the money from the sale (出售) of the house, she had bought a little flat there.
She turned from the living room window, and looked round at the room. One or two pieces of furniture remained, covered with sheets (被单). The floor was bare boards, and all her pictures had been taken from the walls. There was a small fish-tank, with two goldfish circling in it. When asked why, her husband used to say, "It's nice to have something alive in the room." Since he had passed away, she had always kept some goldfish, had always had "something alive in the room".
Tim next morning, as her train was pulling out of the station, Mrs. Robson called to her daughter, "Kate, you won't forget to collect the goldfish, will you? The children will love them. It's...""I know," Kate interrupted (打断) gently. "It's nice to have something alive in the room."
But in the little house, the two goldfish had stopped their circling. They were floating (漂浮) on the water, in the room with its bare boards and silent walls.
Mrs. Robson ______.
A.was a very proud person
B.was helpless
C.did not like asking people for favors
D.wanted to live without her husband
This important change in women' s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.

"To me he is not dead at all. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of him or speak of him. Once, just before he died, when he was sick with the flu, I took him a sack full of oranges. The joy I felt in giving that simple gift is never decreased by time. He said he like oranges, too."

Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States, yet she had only just begun painting in her late seventies. As
she once said of herself: “I would never sit back in a rocking-chair, waiting for someone to help me.”
She was born on a farm in New York State. At twelve she left home and was in a service until
at twentyseven, she married Thomas Moses, the tenant of hers. They farmed most of their lives.
She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1928.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby, but only
changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep
busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at an exhibition, and were soon noticed by a
businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were shown in the Museum
of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930‘s and her death
she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively pictures of the country life she had known, with a wonderful sense
of color and form.
Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Grandma Moses
B. The Children of Grandma Moses
C. Grandma Moses: Her Best Pictures
D. Grandma Moses and Her First Exhibition
