• 2．Shortly after the war，my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad．He had rented a cottage in the country，although he seldom spent much time there．We understood the reason for this after our arrival：the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it，many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked，making the whole house damp．
     On our first evening，we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries．I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed；but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle's exciting tales．
     He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above，the one where my brother and I were going to sleep．
     "It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!" cried out my uncle，with a loud laugh．
     When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door，we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room．When the dust began to clear，a strange sight met our eyes．A large part of the ceiling had fallen down，falling right on to the pillow of my bed．I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle's stories，otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured，perhaps killed．
     That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs，not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads．We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country．This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!
  
  （1）Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage？

  
  A．Because he was used to living abroad．
  B．Because there was no furniture in it．
  C．Because the cottage was in bad condition．
  D．Because the roof of the cottage was falling．
  （2）When they opened the bedroom door，they could see nothing at first because

  ．
  A．there was too much dust in the air
  B．something strange blinded them
  C．it was completely dark inside
  D．it was too bright inside
  （3）The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because

  ．
  A．he saw a strange sight
  B．he did not miss the exciting stories
  C．he spent more time with his uncle
  D．he had a lucky escape

• 3．There are two types of people in this world：those who regularly wash their office coffee cup．And those who only take it off their desk to cover up the coffee mark at the bottom with a fresh pour，driving away their shame with the reasoning that the heat must kill the bacteria or spine thing．
     Depending on which type of person you are，this will be either mildly annoying or more-than-mildly exciting．As Heidi Mitchell wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal column，it's fine to never wash your cup，as long as you're not sharing it with anybody else．
     There are two warnings to that statement，infectious-disease expert Jeffrey Starke，a professor at Baylor College of Medicine，told Mitchell；One，it only applies if you're not sharing the cup with anybody else．And two ，if you leave cream or sugar in your cup over the weekend，that can certainly cause mold（霉） to grow - in which case，wash it out．
     Otherwise，though，there's not really much to worry about． "If I went and cultured the average unwashed coffee cup，of course I would find bacteria．" Starke said． "But remember the vast majority came from the person who used the cup．" Even if you drink from it while sick，it's pretty hard to re-infect yourself with the same cup；most viruses don't live long outside the body，which means that just letting your cup live in its own dirt may be a safer bet than the alternative；cleaning it with the disgusting sponge（海綿） in the office kitchen "The sponge in the break room probably has the highest bacteria count of anything in the office．" Starke said if the idea of not washing horrifies you ，just stick the sponge in the microwave before using．Otherwise，though，reel free to continue your lazy ways without guilt．
  
  （1）What does the passage intend to tell us？

  
  A．It is harmful to drink coffee with sugar．
  B．It's okay not to wash your coffee cup regularly．
  C．The hot water contributes to the bacteria growing．
  D．Drinking from unwashed coffee cups causes diseases easily．
  （2）What do we know from Stark's words？

  
  A．The coffee cup in the office must be put in the microwave to clean．
  B．It's easy to get infected if you often use the same unwashed cup．
  C．The coffee cup shouldn't be shared in the office．
  D．It's good way to grow bacteria in an unwashed cup．
  （3）What does the underlined part "your lazy ways" refer to ？

  
  A．Leaving your coffee cup unwashed．
  B．Sticking the sponge in the microwave
  C．Using Paper cups only in the office
  D．Cleaning your coffee cup with sponge．
  （4）Where does the passage probably come from？

  
  A．A travel brochure．
  B．A science magazine．
  C．An official statement．
  D．An entertainment program．
