• 2．One morning I noticed a woman sitting alone at the bus stop.She seemed not to go to work hurriedly.She wasn't going anywhere as well.Was she waiting for the bus？Did mall buses come this early when the stores
  wouldn't be open for hours？As I drove by，I heard a voice say， "Give her a bottle of water."
     "She looks like she is sleeping.Why would I wake her？" "What is wrong with me？What is so hard about doing the right thing？It's just a bottle of water!"
     So I drove by her again and again.As she repositioned herself，so did I.
     I pulled my car into the no-parking bus zone，stepping out with a bottle of water in one hand and a twenty-dollar bill in the other.Each step seemed to fill me with purpose and focus.No words can describe what happened between us in that moment.I thought I was bringing her a cold drink，but instead I was bringing her a hope she needed.We sat together for a while as she talked.She had a sad story to tell，but she was no longer sad.Before we parted，I grabbed all the cash I had in my purse and found more water in my car along with some snacks.We stood at the bus stop hugging and said our goodbyes.
     I still have a thousand questions as to why I struggled to act.Why did it take me three circles around the mall and a full-blown argument with myself？I once wavered between helping her and ignoring her，All I know for sure is that while walking toward that woman at the bus stop，a miracle happened.
     There are opportunities for us to love every day.Maybe our doubts keep us from acting.Maybe we don't want to take the risk or be uncomfortable.
     That day，I learned how love answers when asked and how love both gives and receives.

• 3．International Women's Day is March 8.On this day，people around the world celebrate the social，economic，cultural，and political achievements of women.The first celebration was held in 1911，and the event was recognized by the United Nations starting in 1975.
     Now，that's not necessarily as discriminatory as it sounds.It's a great time to think about the origin of the word "woman".Some people think the word "woman" is a compound of the words "womb" and "man".You see，when Old English was first being spoken in the 5th century AD，there were two distinct words for men and women： "wer" meant "adult male"，and "wif" meant "adult female".There was a third word "man"，which simply meant "person" or "human being".These words could be combined "wer" plus "man" （in the form of "waepman"） meant "adult male person"and "wif" plus man （"wifman"） meant "adult female person".
     But by the Middle English period，usage standardized into "wimman" and "wommon".And by the 1600s，the versions we know today were established： "woman"，singular，and "women" ，plural.Those middle forms，"wimman" and "wommon" with the two M's in the middle，remind me of Noah Webster's efforts to simplify English spelling by suggesting changing the spelling "woman" to "wimmen" to have the spelling better match the pronunciation.He put that in his 1806 Compendious Dictionary of the English Language dictionary，but it didn't catch on.
     By the way，the original Old English word "wif" meaning "adult female" stuck around，but in a different form，its meaning narrowed into the one we know today：a married woman.
     And the Old English word for "adult male" evolved into a simplified form.The compound word "weapman" melted into the simple word we use today： "man".
     Maybe the lesson to take from all this is that the role of women in society has always been complex.Whatever the case，the word "woman" today was originally a compound of the Old English words for "woman" and "human being".
  （1）What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage？

  
  A．To tell us the origin of international Women's Day.
  B．To make us know the history of the word "woman".
  C．To stress the roles women are playing in.
  D．To teach us the words and their stories.
  （2）What can we learn about the origin of"woman" according to the text？

  
  A．It can be traced back to 1911.
  B．It's related to social discrimination.
  C．It's a compound of the words "womb"and "man".
  D．It's a combination of the words "wif"and "man".
  （3）Why did Noah Webster suggest changing the spelling "women" to "wimmen"？

  
  A．To link the spelling to the pronunciation.
  B．To keep up with the times more closely.
  C．To satisfy the readers' requests.
  D．To make it easy to pronounce.
  （4）What's the difference "wif" between the present English and the original Old English？

  
  A．Its origin and pronunciation.
  B．Its pronunciation and meaning.
  C．Its meaning and spelling.
  D．Its origin and form.
