When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School，in 1952，she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.She became an Arizona state senator（參議員） and，in 1981，the first woman to join the U.S.Supreme Court.O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.

2．"Beauty isn't about having a pretty face，" begins a motivational quote. "It's about having a pretty mind，a pretty heart，and a pretty soul.Oh，and pretty nails!"
That may be Angela Peters' motto.Last July，Peters，rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon （沙龍） at the Walmart shopping center in Burton to have her nails done.But Peters，who has cerebral palsy （腦癱），was turned away.The salon told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands kept shaking.What was meant to be a day of beauty for Peters was now a disappointment.
A Walmart cashier about to go on her break happened to see this.Ebony Harris recognized Peters as a Walmart regular. "She's just like everyone else.She wants to look pretty.So why can't she？" Harris said.
Harris approached Peters. "Do you want me to do your nails？" she asked.
A smile spread across Peters' face. "Yeah!" Harris led Peters into the supermarket，where they shopped for nail polish.They settled on a color that would catch every eye.They then made their way into a neighboring Subway，found a table for two，and started.Harris gently took Peters' hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails. "She moved her hands a little bit，and she kept saying she was sorry，" Harris said. "I told her， 'Don't say that.You're fine.' She makes me look at life and appreciate it much more than I have."
Watching it all with surprise and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith.Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. "She was so patient with her，" she wrote. "Thanks to the Walmart worker for making this beautiful girl's day!"

3．With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation，more families are choosing to live together.
The doorway to peace and quiet，for Nick Bright at least，leads straight to his mother-in-law：she lives on the ground floor，while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.
Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol - one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof.They share a front door and a washing machine，but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen，bathroom，bedroom and living room on the ground floor.
"We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house，" says Kathryn Whitehead.Rita cuts in："We spoke more with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law."
And what does Nick think？ "From my standpoint，it all seems to work very well.Would I recommend it？Yes，I think I would."
It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him，but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time.Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325，000 in 2001 to 419，000 in 2013.
Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common.Some people live with their elderly parents；many more adult children are returning to the family home，if they ever left.It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents，compared with 16% in 1991.The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.
Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted.In India，particularly outside cities，young women are expected to move in with their husband's family when they get married.
（1）Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol？
A．Nick.
B．Rita.
C．Kathryn.
D．The daughters.
（2）What is Nick's attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in-law？
A．Positive.
B．Carefree.
C．Tolerant.
D．Unwilling.
（3）What is the author's statement about multigenerational family based on？
A．Family traditions.
B．Financial reports.
C．Published statistics.
D．Public opinions.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．Lifestyles in different countries.
B．Conflicts between generations.
C．A housing problem in Britain.
D．A rising trend of living in the UK.組卷：6引用：4難度：0.4

9．A light knock on the door brought me from my kitchen.Because we had just moved into the neighbourhood，I couldn't imagine who it would be.Opening the door，an old man stood there，who was dressed in dirty clothing and wearing dirty rubber boots.His hand hung a plastic bag.
"Can I help you？" I asked.
"Would you like to buy some fresh garden vegetables？" His blue eyes were hopeful.
"Are they from your garden？" I looked inside his plastic bag and saw some carrots with soil.
"Yes，" his voice was soft. "And I can get some apples from a tree in my yard.Would you like some of those，too？"
My heart softened，and I wondered if he was badly in need of money.With a sigh，I said， "Please step inside and I'll get my money."
The next day，he knocked at our door again.This time，my little four-year-old daughter got there first. "Oh，hello.Would you like to come in for some tea？" Without a second thought，the old man stepped inside and held out a broken basket with several apples. "From my tree，" he said，removing a worn cap. "You might like to make a pie."
The three of us sat at the kitchen table and drank our tea.It was obvious that my daughter liked hosting a visitor in her never-ending questions. "What is your name？Where do you live？Why are your clothes so dirty？"
The homeless-looking man laughed as he answered each question.His name was Mr.Locket and he lived around the corner.His wife had passed away several years ago，and his children all lived far away.He was lonely.His need for company had sent him door to door selling fruit and vegetables.Ours was the only door opened to him that day.

Paragraph 1：
When he finished the tea，he said he had to go home and promised to return the next day.______
