I saw a little boy about five holding a lovely doll. He kept touching her hair and he held her so gently. I just kept looking over at the little boy and wondered who the doll was for. I watched him turn to a woman and he called his aunt by name and said, “Are you sure I don’t have enough money?”‎ She replied a bit impatiently, “You know that you don’t have enough money for it.” The aunt told the little boy not to go anywhere because she had to get some other things and would be back in a few minutes. And then she left. The boy continued to hold the doll.‎ After a bit I asked the boy who the doll was for. ‎ He said, “It is the doll my sister wanted so badly for Christmas. But Santa can’t go where my sister is… I have to give the doll to my mamma to take to her.”‎ I asked him where his sister was. He looked at me with the saddest eyes and said, “She has gone to be with Jesus. My daddy says that mamma is going to have to be with her.”‎ My heart nearly stopped beating. Then the boy looked at me again and said, “I told my daddy to tell mamma not to go yet. I told him to tell her to wait till I got back from the store.”‎ I saw that the little boy had lowered his head and had grown so quiet. While he was not looking I reached into my purse and pulled out a handful of bills. I asked the little boy, “Shall we count that money one more time?”‎ He grew excited and said, “Yes, I just know it has to be enough.”‎ So I slipped my money in with his and we began to count it. Of course it was plenty for the doll.‎ ‎1. Which of the following sentences is right according to the passage?‎ ‎ A.

Please read the following passage.‎ Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not elevators.‎ From the lower floors of buildings, to escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.‎ The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average (平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.‎ Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked into the room.‎ On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which are open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end in injury. Bushes (灌木丛) and grass can help to brake a fall.‎ ‎1.
